Description I did a painting a LONG time ago for my friend's game room. I've been bugging him to replace it with a new painting of his choice. I asked him if he could have "The Painting" in his game room what would it be? His response was the end scene in Conan The Barbarian where Conan was sitting on the throne. He said  that scene has always  marked him, especially since he followed the comics in his youth.
This will be printed on metal soon.
Created in ArtRage 4.

"Educator" is his handle in a lot of the games he plays so I thought it would be cool to put it on the blade to make it personal.

I'm still excited for the day when we will see King Conan in action in Legend of Conan, I feel Arnold will be able to wear the crown proudly as we were teased. Wonderful work on this, the detail and colors are just right and it's perfect

Thank  you, awesome maybe we'll actually see him on that throne huh?

He's the perfect age for it. John Milius has had a script for King Conan (Crown of Iron) for decades now. I think they're doing something slightly different, but I just hope it gets a good writer and director. We've been waiting years to see the film that puts Arnold on that throne, they better not screw up the opportunity. 

If only they would skip the 90th Terminator reboot and get to work on Conan already...

oO-Monkey-Oo In reply to a-Man-Named-Frank [2014-05-06 15:59:03 +0000 UTC]

Milius has some great work. The newest of his that I loved would have to be Rome.
As far as Conan, there is so much potential for a great movie...but if they try to make it an action epic, yet again, it won't work. Certainly not at that age.
It would have to dig deeper and reflect on the struggle of a great warrior hindered by age and weighed down by a heavy crown. Something like that
 The new Conan with Momoa was strange. I think he's a fantastic actor for the part, unfortunately the movie itself was a total flop.
 Here's hoping for a better finish !  :Ahoy:

Don't get me started on that Nispel abomination. >.<

Agreed on the rest. I only hope they have a great composer rework the late Basil Poledouris' essential themes. That's something the films really cannot do without, in my opinion.
