Description Here's a Conan piece I did recently just for the hell of it really. He's the one character I'd love to draw in comics that I haven't already and every now and again I just get an urge to give it another go. This one's a kind of Buscema/Windsor-Smith fusion. Enjoy!

Best,

L.

Great work on the big, brooding barbarian! I prefer Buscema's Conan to Windsor-Smith's. You've created a nice hybrid of both here!

Thanks man. I actually did a whole Red Sonja one-shot for Dynamite. There are three Sonja pieces in my gallery.

Best,

Seriously awesome.You want to send the guys who are making the new movie some pics because you seem to know what makes Conan,those chumps don't seem to have a clue.

Buscema working with Ernie Chan in the black and white pulps, and BWS were my favorite Conans. Very nice. I wish they'd give you a run?

WOw... Iยดm telling you, as Conan fan for a lot of years (and of your work too)... this is how he have to look like!!!
Great work, congrats.

i hate to say this cause it might urge you to drop Gears, but damn, that's one of the best Conans i've ever seen...EVER. it just oozes with savagery and grit. seeing as how Darick Robertson gave the character a one-shot, i think you can also do the same. damn, this is just all kinds of awesome! great job as always, Liam!

Yes, the first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was Barry. All the detail he would put into those Conan pieces, but with your own post-steroid era style

Liam! Great work! This is certainly NOT the guy you want to meet in a dark alley- or anywhere! Amazing detail as always- that's a wicked staff and I love the relief or is it a mummy) in the background! Keep posting!

Oh, see... you can't do that to me! You've got to do the story now- I don't care if it's thumbnails. I want to see this thing try to sneak up on the jolly barbarian and then ol' Conan laying the smack down!

ludd1te In reply to ??? [2010-02-25 12:55:54 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous detail as ever - like the BWS nods in it - also brings to mind Brec (finally got my hands on a copy of God Killers) - who I guess is cut from a similar cloth

LiamRSharp In reply to ludd1te [2010-02-25 14:07:47 +0000 UTC]

Cool! How are you enjoying the book? And absolutely - Brec was meant to be a direct nod to REH.

Take care!

ludd1te In reply to LiamRSharp [2010-02-27 12:06:58 +0000 UTC]

So far so good (how's that for damning with faint praise? - to be fair I'm only a couple of chapters in, but I like that you cut to another fantasy world from Brec rather than a scifi milieu which was what I was half expecting. I like the concept of the Soulless - the logic flow works well for me on that - and it certainly "breathes well" as a world if you know what I mean - and the nods to the Celtic myths with Balor add familiar elements to ground the fantasy too - so yes, enjoying it immensely (though as I'm in the middle of packing to move house I'll probably give it an immediate re-read when I'm done to do it justice)

Conan is my kind of type too.
I have dozens of unfinished 3D pics in my pc never published, just cause i wanted them to express the true character's spirit...
I really have to find some time for this...

Fantastic piece in my favorite comic character.
Congrats.
