Conan Sketch

Update: This pic now adorns my blog post about teaching Conan stories: [link]

I don't seem to have time for anything beyond sloppy pen-and-ink style digital sketches (like this: [link]). Here's another. Hopefully I'll get around to finishing something a bit more polished one of these days. I'm teaching a Reading and Composition course on the theme "Other Worlds", so I get to deal with texts ranging from fairy tales to children's literature to Science Fiction. I have a week on Cthulhu and Conan planned, and after reading a bit about Howard's barbarian today I was in the mood to do some drawing. His left arm/hand is a bit unclear, I'm afraid-- would clean this up, but I've just not got the time these days.
