Conan Art

I have a whole slew of art ready to put into the Images of the Hyborian Age gallery, and a lot of new artists currently putting pencil to paper for new commissions as well. I don’t want to name names, but you can expect to see a series of commissions coming up by an awesome pinup artist from the old Savage Sword comic during the 80s, and at least one commission coming up by an artist from the current Dark Horse series as well, among several others.

I’ve been working on several writeups for the existing art I have, and I haven’t completed them yet. As such, the addition to the gallery that I had hoped would be up this week, probably won’t be up until next week. That’s ok though, because I have something that should tickle your fancy. After viewing Edbon Sevilleno’s fantasy art gallery, I contacted him about doing a few commissions for the Hyborian Age Gallery. He agreed, and his enthusiasm for the project was certainly noticeable just from the quantity of concept art he kept sending me. With Edbon’s permission, I’ve decided to share it with you. It’s certainly interesting to see all the individual elements Edbon drew before ultimately combining them into one finished picture.
 
Here are some of the other elements:

 

 
Ultimately, all these individual elements were combined into one final piece,representing a Turanian/Iranistani souk. Here’s the concept art for that:

Still, we needed a central figure to pull together and round out the drawing. Edbon came up with this nice illustration of a Turanian Bedouin. I thought his concept art was perfect:

And that’s it! The finished product, which I’ll be posting directly to the gallery later, combines all of these elements into a finely detailed illustration of a Turanai/Iranistani Souk. Ultimately we discussed a few commissions, so I’ll end this post with some concept art from the additional ones he was working on:
