I guess I could have kept this one but it probably would have just left the collection a bit later. As we know, you only regret what you sell! vodou and John E. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see anything cringe about it but everyone’s different. Love everything about this and remember all these characters intersecting. That Kingpin is awesome! Lots of other late 80s and early 90s stuff in this auction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only so much I want to photoshop in one go.

Can you elaborate. The spot above conans head is light from the right filtering through the orange glass. Conans figure and or red light from the red glass are in the middle so I’m not sure what you mean by the darkness in the middle ? Maybe you mean the area between the sword and the orange spot? The light is coming from the right consistently in the image so the wall being parellel to the light source Id expect it to be darker? The sword and the stained glass are perpendicular to the light source so I’d expect those areas to be caught by the light. Am I missing something?

The dark wall between the light hitting the sword and the orange spot should have some light on it. The area below the orange spot then descends into a pretty dark red, while the balance of the wall to the sword is just normal. I don’t think the light is parallel to the wall, but a bit in front of it. Otherwise the light hitting the sword wouldn’t shine backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark red there though is just the light shining through the red glass. I think the light direction is best judged from the elephant statue at left. Anyways, there’s definitely a mess of problems with it. His right bicep is also growing out of the back of his shoulder. It’s still better than I could do mind you.

Bronty Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 One more point on light source. If you look closely you can see his feet are casting shadows to the left. Rick2you2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he did is more dramatic, and that’s a common liberty if you pay attention. At least he got the right number of fingers for Conan. Good thing Cimmeria is a mythical land. Tulips don’t grow in shade. Bronty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
