Description
I had Frazettas painting of this up with a song i wrote but DA staff took it down because it wasnt my work, fair enough but it was more about the song than the picture. That painting defines Conan, so there was only one thing i could do, paint it, started and finished the same day, its 2 in the morning now.will post a better photo tomorrow when its light
CONAN THE CIMMERIAN
I live,
I burn with life,
I love,
I slay,
And I am content
Hither came Conan,
The Cimmerian,
Barbarian from the far north,
Born on a battlefield,
Son of a blacksmith,
Black-haired,
Sullen-eyed,
Sword in hand,
A thief,
A reaver,
A slayer,
I live,
I burn with life,
I love,
I slay,
And I am content
With gigantic melancholies
And gigantic mirth,
To tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth
Under his sandalled feet
Respected Warrior,
By age fifteen,
The destruction of,
The Aquilonian,
Outpost of Venarium
I live,
I burn with life,
I love,
I slay,
And I am content
Civilized men,
Are more discourteous,
Than savages,
Because they know,
They can be impolite,
Without having their skulls split,
As a general thing
After its destruction,
Struck by wanderlust,
Adventures chronicled,
Skulking monsters,
Evil wizards,
Tavern wenches,
Beautiful princesses
Let teachers,
Priests and philosophers,
Brood over questions,
Of reality and illusion
I know this:
If life is an illusion,
Then I am no less an illusion,
And being thus,
The illusion is real to me
I live,
I burn with life,
I love,
I slay,
And I am content
He roams,
Hyboria,
Thief,
Outlaw,
Mercenary
Pirate
Older now,
Escalating ambitions,
Seizes the crown of,
King of Aquilonia,
Powerful kingdom,
Of the Hyborian Age
I live,
I burn with life,
I love,
I slay,
And I am content

Nice to see your lyrics. I dunno if i've said this before like, properly, but you are incredibly talented my friend. Your artworks and tattoos are amazing, and i'm not just saying that. Outstanding work (on this, and on everything else)

I never thought an airbrush could get such percise details, that is amazing. Very powerful work in the muscles. And Conan is awesome.

I wanted to ask. Will you be doing something with the back ground or you plan to leave it just to be a background?^^. Love the way you paint with your airbrush, have to be a lot of fun. Have to try it one day
