My original cover painting for the San Diego Comic Con exclusive CONAN from Titan Comics.

I'm very sorry I won't be there for the signing. Not long ago I was joking about my schedule and how I kinda wished I could cancel going to the show so I could stay home and catch up on work.

Be careful what you wish for.

Anyway, this is pen and ink with watercolor.

I use the amazing Dr. Martin's Black Star Ink and crowquill pens. This is my very favorite black ink. It is rich and deep and does not budge when you paint over it. It also gives you large areas of pure, glorious black with a minimum of streaking.

I realize a lot of people don't like inking with crowquill pens, but I find a little practice will bring outstanding results and more character in the line than you can get out of technical pens.

Pens last longer if you clean them with a sonic cleaner. I am lucky enough to have a thirty-year-old unit that is still going strong, but any modern sonic jewelry cleaner will do the same job. Add a touch of pen cleaning fluid and the gunk on your points will be gone in a few minutes.

I only use antique points that I have hoarded for many years. Some of my crowquill points are a century old. The metal and manufacture is superior to what you are likely to find today.

My paints are Daniel Smith Watercolors. I can't say enough good things about them. Superior pigment load, fantastic color and style range, glorious iridescent and semi-precious stone pigment line, archival, lightfast, superior in every way in my experience.

Not going to lead you on about these, they are expensive, but worth every penny. They last a long time and I am especially happy with my watercolor pan set which is easy for painting while I travel.

I also used them to paint the entire 64 page CHIVALRY graphic novel, and didn't even come close to running out of a single small tube of paint. A little goes a long way.

And here is the CONAN cover with trade dress.

I did this about 6 months ago and had to keep it a secret all this time. I'm a fan of Robert E. Howard, and wanted to do something in the style of Barry Windsor-Smith, and thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece.

The three stages of Red Sonja by Frank Thorne:

- The Roy Krenkel version of the original Robert E. Howard character, Red Sonya of Rogatino, introduced in the story The Shadow of the Vulture.

- Red Sonja, the character created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor Smith in 1973, adapting Howard’s Red Sonya and transporting her to the Hyborian Age where she could interact with Conan the Barbarian.

- Red Sonya in the chainmail bikini designed by artist Esteban Maroto, and used to great effect by Frank Thorne, the artist most associated with Red Sonja during her long run at Marvel.
