“Many wars and feuds did Conan fight. Honor and fear were heaped upon his name and, in time, he became a king by his own hand … but that is another story.”

This was a Kiriban for a friend over on DeviantArt.  He asked for a pic of Conan / a barbarian as his prize.

I’ve been fascinated on and off over the years with the idea of a slightly older Conan, when the wars are all won and he has achieved peace and plenty, and a Kingdom of his own. I always imagined he’d be bored by that. I imagined he’d thrive on chaos and the rules and restrictions of governing a kingdom would weigh heavily on him. Hence the look of utter boredom in this pic. XD

I’m pretty drunk now, so I’m going to stop there and fall over in the corner somewhere. Hope you like it!
