SPN Cinema - Conan the Barbarian

[amberdreams]

My second spn_cinema. It just had to be done, right? Jared as Conan, Jensen as the very annoyed not-so-helpless maiden.


And here they are, in all their glory. NB that includes manly bare torso and pale bare buttocks, so maybe considered NSFW.


I actually finished this off yonks ago, back in June, I think. I did it in a nice 100% cotton sketchbook which lives at my mum's house, which meant any temptation to carry on adding details or fiddling was foiled. Probably just as well, though I would have liked to add a few more bodies to the battle scene.

I posed two figures using the Pose app - it's a bit clunky. Some of the anatomy on the reference wasn't quite right, so I did make some adjustments.
Anyhow, here's the stages it went through.
Pencil - two colours beause I thought I might get muddled about whose limbs went where.

Ink with fineliners

First few layers of paint.

Same thing for the background (yeah, I cheated and photoshopped the two pieces together)


And voila - done. Or nearly. Once I'd out the figures on the background I realised the vultures were in the wrong places, so I moved those around a bit too.
All the colour is watercolour - I think mostly Da Vinci.

Thank you!

I'm using this one https://apps.apple.com/us/app/artpose/id836464625 I think. It's on my iPad and it's not as easy to use as I'd like. For some reason I keep getting them in weird angles so their feet are too big etc. But it is useful sometimes when you can't find a reference that's in the pose you want. I had to mash two of these models together in Affinity too, since you can only have one figure at a time.

PS Jensen SO has freckles on his ass. I'm certain of it. 😏
