primeval Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Ok, this is my first commission piece! The client thought the figure looked like the cover to SSOC shown here, but it turns out the sculpt is actually of a Conan pencil and ink drawing by Estaban Maroto. The SSOC cover is loosely copied from that by Joe Jusko. We still decided to go for it, and even though its not an exact match I still think it came out pretty cool. I still need to fill the gap on his left shoulder and glue the sword on his back. I even sculpted a ring on his middle finger - to cover the hole I made by drilling too far to pin the hand on The bottom picture, obviously painted much better than I could hope to do, is the original figure.

Bill_Adcock Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Looks really good so far, man! And Joe Jusko just kicks arse. I wish the book of all his Edgar Rice Burroughs' paintings wasn't out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionmane Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Very cool!! That's a classic cover, I always liked it. Good job on the mini! Post up some pics when it's finished. I may have to get this mini from Assassin for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeval Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Well, I had to pull off the hand and the shield because the hand I used was just too big. But all is well and he is under the brush, so I will post pics of the finished result soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billr Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I see the handle of what looks like a gigantic sword sticking out on the the top right and pointing down to the left. I don't see the end of the sword pointing out of the bottom though. Is it a short sword with a huge handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 No, it's just the angle. If you look close, you can see the sword in shadow under his right armpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post a rear shot later in the showoff section as he is done now. If you look under his right arn you can see the end of the sword.
