I agree. Hyboria was supposed to be a melting pot of diverse, first-gen cultures. It makes sense that Conan's look should reflect that.

hey hey heyy!!
hAVE Yu seen this ?
A guy From Think Thank ! replicated this Draw Yours in 3D!!!
Exactly and absolutely !!
Look here [link]
Go to 1 minut ...
Yu know Your Draw is better ... The guy missed alot details ( that only yu could hahah ) ...
But that guy is good ...
Captured the Wholle porpotions & feeling of the Char !
How do yu fell about that ?
Getting a 3d Character Sculpted out a draw yours Exactly ?
Is like Every 3d Developer can actualy pick on ANY concept and do it on 3d ...
Is like Yous is Just a Sketch ....
Him a Whoole Freaking Digital Sculpture ...
I still like more your Sketch ....
But its so dam usefull to have a character full sculpted for production Purposes ...
That guy and yu should work toguether Hahaha...
Both Rock ...
Now imagine all your godkillers artworks Translated to 3d By that guy ?
Just imagineeee....
CHEERS !

SOULSSHINE In reply to LiamRSharp [2010-05-08 16:41:38 +0000 UTC]
Awesome !!
Actually was a big surprise for me...
Especially because of the quality achieved ...
( Sadly was not textured ... well yeah to model is one thing .. to texture correctly and realisticly another leap ... )
RANT TIME !
ACTUALLY ARE EXACTLY SCulpts like that That i'm making into my SOULSSHADE Novel ....
To all every single characters ...
YES i'm abig FART Talking without showing ...
And people get tired of it ...
And all i can show are silly making offs ~SOULSSHADE and those from more than 1 year ago ...
But Just for yu and me / and who have faith enouph to see it here ... thats why actually i'm taking so much time doing it .... is hard as hell - its actually the most hard thing iv ever done in my entire live artisticaly ... to do a whoole novel with that quality and in 3d ...
But yu know is the challenge that keeps me here ...
And that challenge also keeps me from drawing , because i dont have time to draw/paint as for comics anymore , because of 3d modeling .. it sucks reaaly hard to have to waste 300 hours to just make 1 character full modeled riggued morphs cloths texture shaders then light rig and vray above it ....
Serious is a hell to do it ...
But people would might say :
- Wouldnt you live without having to make a novel in 3d, and why not do it in 2d drawing and all etc like common normal people do ? Wouldn't yu be earning some money out of it actualy ? Instead of wasting so many years ( 5 , 7 ) just to do a freaking Magazine episode ?
- I would say : Yes i could do it ...
But would not be the same thing .
This days on graphic novels in full 3d there are only this things that are non realistic - non cinematic , nonsenses ... and in betwen some others that are just cuties like
(www.thedreamlandchronicles.com)
Witch already goes in 1100 pages ... WICH is a achievement ....!
But is just a cutie / not a cinematic "lord of the rings" 3d graphic novel achievement as i want , and if i cant do it alone, in that case i'm already trying to raise people to Open develop it ...
Well yu must do what yu love , and yu must love what u do ...
And then chose well were yu waste your time...
And betwen comics making a la jim lee a la liamsharp ...
Instead of just be one more ...
I reaaly prefer to develop myself in 3D Sculpting ...
And YES thats why i got astonished by that merge of the "your art kind" and 3d sculpting out of it ...
Because your 2d art kind is alot what i like to have in mine ...
And its exactly that kind of hiper detailed 3d that goes "more seamless" to a hiperdetailed 2d draw as yours - that i had in mind for my ~SOULSSHADE Novel since the very first beginnings .....
But dude ! Just that litle intent ... ( will kill me ) And will kill all my project commerciality / because its possible For a studio / to do things as this [link] and look at the amount of people involved in just one image / but as so hard it is just for 1 man - yu cant ever do a whoole novel on that quality of images ... just alone .
And exactly because of that was that i started the #SOULSSHINE-ONLINE group ... to try to raise people interested in somehow build it ...
So i'm trying to build 2 parts of it ... ( the official novel ) were just 2 or 3 people work in ...
And a non commercial open development - were everyone can put there whatever they want on their own on that Universe ...
So thats what i'm doing ...
And thats what been killing me as an artist for so long ...
If i do not get arts as this one [link] from my studio ...
I will not ever return to show any kind of art mine with less quality than that .. because i have to do a wholle novel of every single litle images as those ...
And that is a promiss i made with myself ...
I will triunf to the very top of artistry and do that or i will not be a artist anymore.
Thats the kind of grade i have to push myself of 22 years beying a artist so far with whatsoever almost none "achievement" ...
Whenever i have lil time offs from my job - I'm working day and night here ... I do not have days off i do not drink i do not go to bars i do not even go to parties because of it ...
Its just day time work in whatever and night time doing this
...
But when i come back in 4 years or less ...
I will come back with "THAT" kind of artistically masterly achievement ...
Within a revolutionary 1 episode of a product that took me 10 years just to do 1 magazine ...
I will do it ! Or i will not do anything else as artist at all .
But able to do it or not / i dont care / i will be working every day privately for it .
---
"if yu have a dream the most impossible it is - work everyday a lil bit without ever give up - And who knows anytime will get come close to true - as long as yu got live and another day there will be always a possibility "
And yeah .. thats the drift of things ... in this silly bankrupted studio near atlantida ..
TIP TIME!
As yu also work in 3d / and never have time for it ...
( i do not advice yu or anyone go in "my way" lol .. )
But !
Ya Must / should / do that kind of collaborations more often dude !
Force them to happen "in your work" reaaly ...
Especially in yo stucky GOD KILLARS World !
As yu know one man cant do it all ...
Collaborative production is and will be more and more the safe arbor of this industry !
Keep great , keep grand , keep opening developments !
lol
Yo !
All the best L.

The artist actually did this off his own back, then sent me the results. I'm very honoured that he did, and I love how it turned out. Wonderful work.
Looking forward to seeing how your work is shaping up with the 3D element...

Yo the most man KEEP RULLING THE FANTASY SISTEM !

This is a great Conan! This is a lot like how I picture him, in fact--grim-faced, dangerous eyes, and ready to cut the first person who pisses him off. I especially like that he's well-muscled, but doesn't look as if he eats a tubful of steroids for breakfast every day.

Ha ha! I think you're mis-reading the knee - it's turned out, not in. The vastus medialis muscle (if you want to get technical!) goes under the rectus femoris, which joins the prepatellar bursa, or knee cap - which is NOT the darker area on the right of his knee joint, but the lighter area left. What you're mistaking as the knee cap is the medial callateral ligament, which runs down the inside of the knee joint, joining the femur to the tibia. So it's not twisted, it' turned outwards with the right foot.
