Conan rides off...

My last issue of Conan is out this week, so I thought I'd share a page of him riding off into... well, into the next story arc.

Enjoy, cause it looks like issue 12 is the last comic you'll see from me for a while.

Fun while it lasted.

Conan #8 out today!

hey all!

Apparently Conan: Road of Kings #8 is out today! So, I'll show you my favorite page from the book. Hadn't shared it before because it was a bit of a spoiler, but seeing as they give it away on the cover I figure... what the hell?!

I think this is the one and only time I've drawn Zombies in a comic! Enjoy!

Best,
Mike

PS - See my previous preview post for this issue here.

Conan VS Hellboy!

The crossover you never expected!

Still can't believe we're doing it!

EDIT:
Ok, ok. This was a bit of a put on for April Fool's Day! Well, you can only blame yourselves! I never ACTUALLY said it would be a comic crossover, just a crossover in this piece of commission art!

To make it up to you guys, the first ten people to e-mail me at mhawthorne @ thinktankcomics.com gets a free Conan sketchcard!

UPDATE!
Got all ten people lined up for free sketches. Thanks everyone, and sorry if you missed out this time around.

Conan: Road of Kings #3 pencils

I've been meaning to post these since issue three of Conan" Road of Kings came out a couple of weeks back. So, sorry for the delay. Anyway, I wanted to share some of the pencils from the book, which I really enjoyed working on.

This sequence was really difficult to pull off, and my choice to make 2 and 3 a two page spread didn't help matters, but in the end it was worth it. I hope you'll agree.

I'll share more pencils soon.

Best,
Mike

Thulsa Doom commission

Hey all!

Got some incredibly cool commission requests, and am working on them now.

Wrapped up the first one, Conan and Kull villain Thulsa Doom! Man, I had so much fun drawing this that it makes me wish Roy would write him into the Conan series! Who doesn't want to see this guy fight Conan?!

Any way, more soon.

best,
Mike

PS - See the previous post for items still on sale. I'll be posting new stuff soon.
