My Third King Conan Cover

This is my third cover for the 4 issue King Conan series "The Phoenix on the Sword." I go to work from a passage by Robert E. Howard and this is what I saw. Acrylics, watercolors, gouache and inks.

King Conan painting 5.0

So I painted King Conan this past weekend at the Heroes Con in Charlotte. It took up most of my day on Saturday. I think I spent about 5 hours on stage painting. Now I did complete the drawing in vine charcoal the night before. It was purchased by Sheldon's daughter at the Heros' art auction held saturday night.
Anyhoo, I have Jason Schachter to thank for all the great photos. Not much else to say about the process. Vine charcoal, crayons and acrylic applied generously.

King Conan painting for the Heroes' Art Auction

Here's a pic of me wrapping up a painting of King Conan for the art auction at the 2011 Heroes Con in Charlotte. Had a lot of fun but I was pretty wiped out after 5 hours of painting on stage. Shelton 's daughter bought the painting. It would be really cool if they hung it in the shop.
