Description

Another cover for a novel~ Inspired by the great Frank Frazetta and others, playing around with a bit more painted fantasy style~

(I'm copy and pasting infos here cuz I'm not too sure of the book,etc)

Almuric (Trade Paperback)

Author: Robert E. Howard

"The creator of Conan looks to the stars in one of fantasy’s most enduring science fantasy classics!

Robert E. Howard’s Almuric is a savage planet of crumbling stone ruins and debased, near-human inhabitants. Into this world comes Esau Cairn, Earthman, swordsman, murderer. Only he can overthrow the terrible devils that enslave Almuric, but to do so he must first defeat the inner demons that forced him to abandon Earth.

Filled with vile beasts and thrilling adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Almuric is one of Howard’s few novels, and an excellent yarn from one of America’s most distinct literary voices."

The surroundings are a bit empty perhaps, but what has been painted is painted perfectly.

I found Almuric to be quite a relaxing reading.
If I remember it correctly, the one time where he and the girl Altha were kidnapped by the flying people, they ended in a some ancient ruins where they were surrounded by a bunch of 'darklings' (altough those, if I recall it correctly, were ape like), which were almost all killed by a huge spider before they could get the couple, which managed to escape after that.
Good stuff

Cormac Mac Art next?

Lovely work, Frazetta was my first thought when I saw the man and the pillar. ^^ It has a very mysterious, old feel to it, which seems fitting for that kind of book. I find the blade to be lacking yellow a little, perhaps a small warm highlight on the darker edge would add to the ambience.

I like it. The lighting's great and the concentration of central detail is very professional. My only gripes would be Conan's stance - his left leg seems awkwardly placed and ill-defined, and also that the viewer appears too remote from the action. If the "camera" were closer and lower it would lend more urgency to the piece and give more involvement. +8/10

Nice scene! I like the focus of the lighting on the action.
