Before settling on the picture ultimately used on the
Nanok DVD cover, I went through a few other concept drawings. Initially I felt that I wanted something like the original Conan the Barbarian movie poster, all sepia-toned and studded with pictures of the other people in the film.
That was proving far too annoying, so I abandoned it. However, I did end up making this sketch along the way. I rediscovered it at the art jam. It's not a bad pic, per se, so I decided to finish it up a little. I added the Dark One in the background and darkened some lines.
Yes, he is wearing sneakers. Yes, the furry pants are supposed to look like that.
Standard apology about sketchbook scans applies.
