I figured if Conan ever took the helm of the Deathdealer like in my Deathslayer projects, I wanted it as a younger Conan...the Conan savage bust that I converted showed a really aged 50 something Conan.
I really took a close look at the bust and much as I loved the bust it looked aged beyond Frazetta’s Barbarian painting IMO, lots of deep deep lines and folds, the bust was more in line age wise to be a king Conan.
I ended up doing a ton of dremeling and sanding on the folds and filled in the deep lines to bring him to a more late 20’s or early 30’s and couldn’t be happier with the end results.
