You can see everything more clearly on this prelim as they cropped the painting to show Conan larger and we'd see less of the power of the sea.

Yes, sometime after this prelim the publisher or even Earl decided that they wanted to hone in more on Conan and also take out the inuit in the foreground. I own the alternate image and will put that up soon. I have not located the small colour prelim or the large prelim yet, so don't know when the artwork changed before the final painting. But obviously the woman is still in the final image tied to the mast even though she's not in the story.
