Conan Art

Having hit up a number of comic book groups over the last few months for contributions to the Hyborian Age Art Gallery, I thought I’d take a different approach and start “googling” a few art/Conan/Hyborian related terms to see if I could find some other possible candidates for art contributions that I might miss if I stuck exclusively to the comic groups.  I found a lot of awesome illustrators out there, several of which I thought were prime candidates for the project, including Miguel Serrano of creativeviking.blogspot.com.
 
 
Miguel, Conan and Howard fan, has some excellent illustrations of grim and gritty Hyborian Age stuff; just the way I like it.  Of course, after taking a look at some of his illustrations, I hastily contacted him about doing a full illustration for the gallery… he accepted!
I’m now anxiously awaiting to see what Migue comes up with for the gallery.

Here’s another recent illustration that Migue posted over at his blog Creative Viking. Take a minute and visit his blog and click his thumbnails to see the larger versions… it’s certainly worth it!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
**UPDATE** So I was taking my own advice and going and checking out Miguel’s blog. I’ve clicked on all his images before, but I guess I never noticed what was at the BOTTOM of one of his pictures. The “ghostly” (for lack of better descriptive words) picture is awesome by itself, but it’s the bottom of the picture, and then the connection of WHO the ghosts are that make this image SOOO much cooler! An awesome picture in my opinion. Well done Miguel!
