Tag As FavoriteComment		I think I drew this after seeing 'The Scorpion King', so I was in the mood for some classic Conan-style barbarians!

Great picture!He could have been a little more mighty though,I mean,with a more imponent figure.

:-) Sean C. Riley replies: "Not sure what "imponent" was supposed to be, but I'm guessing its something along the lines of "imposing", in which case I can only assume you're being facetious. I'm so confused... :\"

This is quite good. The pose especially is great, and it really looks as though he is turning quickly to stop to shield the arrows. I like the way his feet are buried in the snow, and I also like his hair very much.

The background is simple, yet effective, it the figure iteself contains much detail, which is great!

I dislike the snow however, as it looks like this was just rushed, but overall, a very good effort!

:-) Sean C. Riley replies: "Yeah...I suck at snow. 12 I tried to keep the background simple because I wanted the eye to focus on the character. Plus, adding detail to a mostly-white background in an B&W picture makes it look...um...not white."

He must be nippin like crazy.
nice stuff!

:-) Sean C. Riley replies: "Its true. Most people don't realize that the dead man in the snow didn't freeze to death. He impaled himself on the barbarian's nipples."
