"Defeated... but not quite" by Alexander J. Harron

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 21 out of 50 by Alexander J. Harron. ←Previous - Next→


	An illustration from the beginning of 'The Scarlet Citadel' by Robert E. Howard. I took a bit of a liberty by replacing the broadsword with the axe, but really he could have dropped his axe in favour of a sword at some point... (a more detailed description will be up when I have the time)

24 Oct 2004	Andrea Lanzoni	Loading... Conan is one of my favorite characters,and I know this is interesting for anyone...however,sometimes his authors put too much magic in it.Great pic! Alexander J. Harron replies: "Depends on the author I suppose. I only really read the canonical (Conanical if you will) Robert E. Howard stories, not really being a fan of Jordan or de Camp's. Karl Edward Wagner did some good pastiches though."
24 Oct 2004	F. M. 'B-Man' Bahasuan	Loading... Scarlet Citadel... isn't it when Conan, as the Aquilonian king, had to fight alone after his army had been destroyed by the treacherous kings of Koth and Ophir. I really enjoyed the story albeit in comic form Great work with the inking plus the lighting and the "camera angle" (the pile of bodies around him works very well, I wouldnt like to be one of those who will have to fight him). Really enjoy this one Keep it up! Cheers! Alexander J. Harron replies: "'Twas indeed The Scarlet Citadel, probably among my top 5 favourite Conan stories. I haven't read all the comics, but the ones I've read so far are pretty good stuff. Thanks for the comment!"
