"Epic" is the only word that comes to mind when seeing this absolutely beautiful piece of art. Roberto de la Torre is just phenomenal - HUGE congrats my friend!
Thanks T. It is amazing in person.
I can sense your immense excitement, and it makes total sense because this is an AMAZING piece. Fantastic add!!
I appreciate that Paul. This is one I want to get framed. There is a lot going on here.
great piece, congrats!
A feast of butchery and rip roaring combat for the eyes! De La Torre breathes power in Conan's swing and leaves a pile of dead bodies over both pages!
So true!
I had a chance to chat with Rob, and it was great to hear him break down his style. While he acknowledged the John Buscema influence people often see, he actually credits Victor de la Fuente as his biggest inspiration.
I wasn’t that familiar with de la Fuente’s work at first, but after looking him up, the influence is obvious. You can really see it in the gritty texture and the way he uses heavy, expressive line work. It gives the art a raw, European feel that goes beyond the classic Buscema look.
Brutal!! Congrats.
Perfection !
Big John would be proud. Wow!
I agree. It’s fun to imagine John’s reaction. I know he was always very particular about who inked his work, so I’d love to know what he would think of Rob’s approach.
Absolutely gorgeous monster of a piece!
Thanks, Paul. It is definitely one of my favorite pieces by Rob in my collection.
Spectacular!
Savage sword indeed! Your description captures this titan wraparound perfectly. A whirl of Conan blood-letting mayhem!
The vultures are going to eat well today! Absolute stunner!!
Well said!
Stellar Piece of Art!
Awesome !
Wonderful! I'm glad you have a larger image that can be blown up, as both the detail and the influence of Buscema are fantastic. The choreography of the fight in particular feels like Big John, and the degree of carnage is fabulous.
