Frost Giant's Daughter Fan Art by Tomás Morón Aranda!

More incredible artwork from Tomás Morón Aranda (visit his blog at http://eldibujantesinpoderes.blogspot.com/), and this time we see a classic scene from the Conan mythos, but I have to say that this is the.... umm... perkiest... version of the Frost Giant's Daughter that I have ever seen!


Great work, Tomás! And thanks for sharing!

"Gege the Average Joe Barbarian" by Stephane Sabourin!

I got an email a while back from french artist, Stephane Sabourin, who sent along his little tribute to the barbarian genre with his Conan-esque parody, Gege the Average Joe Barbarian, which, quite frankly, I found brilliant (if only I could read French)!

In his own words:

hello
I'm a french admirer of your "Crom" homepage and also a huge REH fan!
Few years ago,I made this 7 pages parody of our beloved Cimmerian,strongly inspired by the introduction part in Buziek and Nord's comics(I'm also a big fan of their works)
Here is the link to my DeviantArt page and the "Gege the Average Joe Barbarian" folder(with english explanation for each page,for texts are all in french,sorry). If you want to have a glance at it...by the way I'm an hobbyist penciler,I won't mind(or cast any curse^^) if you don't like my work!

By Ishtar's Girdle, indeed! Enjoy...

Conan Fan Art by Ostoja Mitric!

One thing I love is seeing all of the killer fan art being done out there by the minions of Crom. Today I got an email from Ostoja Mitric, a forestry worker from Croatia, who is no slouch when it comes to drawing the greatest son of Cimmeria. He sent along some of his pencil sketches and I just had to share them here. Thanks Ostoja! And keep up the amazing work!

More CONAN fan art

This piece comes from ME..Mikeyboy...or Michael John Destasio for those of you who are familiar with me in OTHER circles. I bought some ink brush pens and wanted to test them out. So I found a random CONAN drawing on the web. I am not sure who it was drawn by but it's from a sketch card...some artists sell them at cons and some companies give them as prizes. I wanted to take up as much space on the paper as possible and use every pen for every little different texture I could possibly think of. ( The large black area was done with a white board marker , they spread out nicely ) Being that it was from a sketch card there were a lot of areas in the drawing that were hazy and pretty much unformed and ambiguous. So I noodled around over every little pencil line. Mind you this ink testing and study was done right on the printed image lifted from the web. Then I went into my pc's paint program and whipped up this paste up MOCK cover ( If you look close I signed the sword )....We will still accept any fan art anyone would like to share. Please E-mail Reis with any art you'd like to share with the followers of CROM!

Conan Art by Charles Howell!

This piece comes from my good cyber-homie, and fellow Batman collector, Charles Howell (aka Chunky B). Go ahead... bask in its awesomeness...

Conan Fan Art by Salvatore Oliviero!

CONAN vs HERCULES !

I was inspired recently to whip up an homage to Jack Kirby....being that Charles R. Rutledge from " Singular points " and I were mentioning that Jack Kirby never really had any CONAN material out there. So I too pulled a Rich Buckler/Ron Frenz and swiped/borrowed a couple of poses to draw up this HOMAGE to CONAN and KIRBY in honor of his Birthday recently Aug 28.

I was thinking after I drew it...man this needs some color and thought to myself " Hmm I've been working on a side project with Cromsblood...but he has a child on the way and he's very busy as of late. Then I remembered the Rudy Nebres " One minute later " piece from several posts back and how Mike Dominic from AIM comics producers of " The Brutal blade of BRUNO the BANDIT " colored in the artwork the very next day...it was an internet smash and can be found in several places...( Folks that was Mike Dominic who colored that in ) So I asked "DOM" if he would not mind doing this fun little side job for me. Sure enough the very next day VOILA!

I could not be prouder..thank you "DOM" You did a great job coloring and adding text to my piece! You are a great artist! I hope you folks out there like it. I'm very proud.

Conan by Kungfumonkey!

And since I'm in the mood to post Conan Fan Art (I'm getting in a Conan mood with the new movie coming out), I thought I'd post this awesome piece by Kungfumonkey...

Funny Cute Conan Sketches!

These adorable Conan the Barbarian sketches from an artist known only as "Katie" and appearing on her blog Funny Cute proves that Conan fans come in all shapes and sizes (and can be a girl, believe it or not), and that the character of Cimmeria's greatest son can withstand astonishing levels of rendition. These sketches are simply brilliant.

Conan Fan Art!

Conan fan and burgeoning painter, Israel B. sent me some samples of his work (a loooooong time ago, like in February) and I'm just now getting around to posting them. Great work, Izzy! Send us more when you get them finished!

Conan on Covered Blog!

We've often shown off some of the killer Conan-themed art posted t the Covered blog (a blog devoted to artists reinterpreting classic comic book covers in their own style), but there have been a few new ones since we last checked in, so I thought I'd just throw up a quick link to them all. Enjoy!

Red Sonja Art Contest Finalists Up at Super Punch!

I told you all a while back about a Red Sonja themed art contest over at the Super Punch blog and the finalists and winners were released. Many of them kick mucho ass and I'm posting a few of my favorites here, along with this stunning custom Sonja action figure...

Head on over to Super Punch to revel the artistic goodness!

Lego Conan!

Spotted this on Flickr and just had to pass it along. Special thanks to creator, Ochre Jelly, for creating something of such epic epicness! Head on over to their Flickr gallery HERE for a bigger view of the barbaric Lego creation along with a couple of other pics.

Fan Made Conan Digital Short!

Crom reader, and digital animator, Jim Drakopoulos, sent me a link this morning of his latest project, in which we see a CGI son of Cimmeria going head to head with a giant snow ape! This is great work and much thanks to Jim for sharing this with us!

Get your 3D glasses ready for the scene at the end!

Conan Cover Re-done on Covered Blog!

I love the blog Covered, and their massive collection of re-interpreted classic comic book covers, but I love it even more when the day's feature is a Conan cover! Artist, Dieter Van der Ougstraete, did a brilliantly odd and fascinating version of an international release of Conan de Barbaar with a stunning amount of vision. I tip my spikey, iron hat to him!

Here's the original cover...

More Conan Fan Art!

Here's a couple of sweet Conan pieces sent in by CROM! reader, Mike DeStasio, showing what Conan thinks of chains and monkeys! Thanks for sharing, Mike!
