Description
Line art by legends: John Buscema and Ernie Chan. Color by me. I have not searched for the original cover. This was done based only on my memory of the series and my own instincts. The original lineart did not have the title or Marvel's banner- I found those on another piece and transferred them over.Related content

I like that you gave them different skin tones here.
That, and you gave Conan a tan

According to Howard's stories, Conan spent a lot of time wandering in the warmer climates- deserts and so on, so it made sense to me to make him at least a little darker. Plus they're supposed to be different races, so that plays in, too.
The hard part was holding back on my method of shading- this one didn't a lot of that.

I grew up reading the original stories. This was Conan's first big relationship and Howard wrote her in and killed her off in the same story. It was decades later before Marvel could do right by both the story and the characters. Howard wasn't big on female characters at all.
