Conan the O'Brarian

Just a quicky sketch today, because of DEADLINES!

Yeah, I know, it's pretty obvious, but eh, what you gonna do?

CROM! Count the moustaches.

Everyone expected me to draw the Beastmaster, but you know what? I just don't feel like drawing ferrets tonight. More of a cool-down sketch than a warm-up, since it's almost midnight!

So the western Roman Empire, back in the early AD's, did it's best not to succumb to the Barbarian hoards that encroached on it's borders. Not to spoil it, but they didn't do a great job of it! There were a lot of political and social changes that led Europe into medieval life. I think a big catalyst in this transition was the fact that Romans didn't have a word for 'mustache' in the Latin language.



Totally true! And here's a Visigoth from my sketchbook. Let's call him "Alaric." :D Enjoy!

Ti-bar!

Right arm hatchet sword! Left arm Tiger. All bad ass.

Barbarian: She-Ra

What is best in life? Conan

Take this! And this! And this!

Kind of a no-brainer, considering today's theme. I was actually going to draw Red Sonja at first, but I've been drawing a lot of babes lately. I thought I should take a break before I became the new Frank Cho or something*.


* Sorry to pick on Mr. Cho. He's incredibly talented, I just want to see him branch away from drawing uber-babes all the time.

Barbarian - Red Sonja

I may have taken a little longer on my 'sketch' this morning, so sue me! I have very fond adolescent memories of Red Sonja, specifically as drawn by Frank Thorne. I had to personally best Becky Cloonan in unarmed combat for the privilege of drawing her here this morning. While I won this time, I fear that it's only a matter of time before Red Becky exacts... her revenge.
