Conan 24 reimagining by Erwin Papa of Red Sonja and Conan

I commisioned this cover reimagining with Erwin Papa after and Ink and Drink in Long Beach.  At first Erwin as a little taken back by the number of figures in the original.  What made me pick Erwin is his Angriest Warrior character.  It is a visual take on Conan. The addition of a Red Sonja was due to his brilliant drawings of the big helmet women.  Put those together let's get the Conan 24 cover. I have attached the original cover for comparision.  The change to skeletons is a very nice touch, Conan leaping to the rescue with the explosion in the background are typical pulp fare and make this image more dynamic.  Red Sonja's hair is a piece of art in it's design.  It is stunning.  Red Sonja is kick-ass in this pose. 
 

The color picture is a digital image done by Erwin Papa, i think it pops more than the pen and ink.  Check out all of the pics to gain a better respect for this drawing.  It is 11X17.
