Every day we are closer to the new edition of Kindly Corpses. It's been a while since I worked with Penevski on a comic book (Anatomy Of Sky). This short story (Autopsy of Death) brings us back to life. I wish I had more time for these things, but life often limit us in our intentions. Whoever drew comics knows that it requires heroic work and time.

At the end, how to survive an autopsy? Just draw a picture of death, and it will keep you alive ... Cheers!

Conan – Savage Art Challenge

Two weeks of hard work have passed. Came up was something I could not miss - Competition for Conan illustrations launched by the Croatian publishing house Bookglobe. The publisher is planning to issue a cult comic book series Savage Sword of Conan. This type of fantasy illustration is not my cup of tea, in terms of artistic expression, but since it is a favorite comic book character from my early childhood, I could not resist the challenge. I did a few illustrations, and here they are:

Pen and watered ink drawing

 This illustration is inspired by the episode Devourer of Souls.

Conan and the evil sorcerer who turns into a monster - a very common situation in the Conan series.

Illustration for my favorite episode of Conan – Demons of the Firelight. Conan is fighting with the revived corpse of dead warrior.

I had enough time to do a new original logo of the comic series.

drawing digitally colored with Conan logo

Here's preview how it looks when applied a new logo on the cover illustration.

 After drawing, I started to paint digitally using Painter and Photoshop. The first illustration that has been digitally painted is the episode The Road of the Eagle. Behind the back of Conan, sees a huge rock with a variety of niches which represents the graves of green devils - very interesting to illustrate.
