    One question though.

    If good old Conan gets that turned on in battle with monkey-boys .... what the hell would a pair of Amazons do to him? :-}

    I hope there are many more Conan books so we will continue to get pleasure out of seeing your cover designs. They are fabulous.

    I spend about two week for a picture like this. And I use only XaraX for this.

    Vladimyr, wonderful work as usual!

    But will you please tell us why you prefer to do this kind of complex painting in XaraX - a vector program - instead of in Painter or Photoshop? Given that they're intended for book covers, the bitmap files would not have to be huge. Is it just that you simply prefer to construct paintings with vectors - or are there other reasons for your choice? Please write us a little about your philosophy of painting - I'm all ears! Or you could email me privately, if you would prefer that.

    I am sure that I am not alone when I say that I always learn something from your pictures and the details that you post. Thank You!

    I have a question about the way the light rays are drawn near the top of the rock. Have you taken 'poetic license' and removed the cloud that I keep expecting to see blocking the sun? Everytime I have seen rays like that there has been something blocking the sun...usually a dark cloud. I am including a small cutout to help explain my question.

    Thanks for your time.....I am always learning.
    Humbly,

    Klaus:
    I think that raster graphic program is just substitute of manual art work. And by hands it could be better to work in this technics. But vector program is peculiar computer art. And this completely used computer abilities. And vector easier and faster than raster.

    dafipp:
    It is not clear sky with stars behind of rock. I think it is the white sparks around the Magic rock.

    Being relatively new to this forum, this is the first I have seen of your work ... WOW! Reminds me of work done by Boris Vallejo ... one of my all time favorites. I am a true fan of your work. Thank you for the post.

    Another fantasic piece Vladimyr!

    Thanks for the close up too ... the detail you put into your work is incredible.

    I especially like the blue light on the ape men, gives it a sort of spooky feel.

    Wonderful stuff.

    Regards

    Su
