Description

Hi Everyone,

Here i am with a piece from around half a year ago.

For Modiphius' Conan the Barbarian RPG i had the privilege to reinterpret an iconic scene on the cover of Weird Tales Magazine from the 1920's where Robert E Howard actually published his short stories.

It shows the rise of the Witch Salome, subduing her twin sister, Taramis

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Witch_…

Special Thanks to Chantall Kool for posing as the Twins, and Leon ten Have as Salome's right hand.

Lemme know what you think of the reinterpretation!

All the best,

JCH

Very good! Excellent actually! I've read this story at least a half dozen times over the years and this is a great interpretation of a scene Β from that story.

That...is the most dramatic and realistic "2 seconds before death" scene I've ever seen...painted in ANY media. Bravo!

Nice, I was always a fan of those old Conan stories. As a kid I got to read some issues of the Savage sword of Conan comic book run drawn by John Buscema and I’ve been hooked since then. It’s probably the very first adult fantasy story I got to read

Anyway, I like the composition of this piece and the pillars really had a sense of depth to the picture. Good job!

Gotta admit... Never read a COnan story but nonetheless a nice experience. Cheers for sharing your experience and the kind words!

After a long analysis......
The lady who is being held doesn't look injured so she can take the hand that she is holding the arms with, twist her whole body to face the woman, punch her neck with the palm of her hand and snatch the knife. Then bam, the tables has turned.

Marvellous artwork! So alive. So hurtful. And so malignant. Nice!

Top execution with perspective, lighting and detailing etc. as well, the usual stuff to be expected from a pro painter. Lovely composition and palette! All the luxury and riches in the world cannot protect you from human evil.

The snake in the paradise...
