I've never seen the phantom page (i guess it wouldn't be a phantom then) but I have my settings changed from the default 15 to 20 per page. Anybody seeing the phantom page try this? Just curious.

Storn Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. But...but...she's not RED! Its a freebie. I didn't have time to do any color on it. Because it would have to be traditional... acrylic, watercolor, pencil, oil, marker...something done by hand. I just didn't have time this week, I'm working on another M&M book (Villains) this week, next week. Some of the other artists did some nice spot coloring on her hair. I especially like Khoi's... in fact, I voted for his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assignment was to do RED Sonja... not REH's european female crusader. Although the heroine from that era I would really like to take a crack at is Jirel of Joirey.

But a lot of people don't seem to know where she originally came from, which is a shame.[/quote'] I haven't read it. But one of my favorite things about the Dark Horse reprints of the the original Conan run, was Roy Thomas's excellent background column of those days at Marvel. And how he adapted a lot from REH, weaving them into the Conan mythos...even modern day (ie, 1920s for REH's modern day) pulp stories. It was a neat insight into working with a license, and insight into Thomas's writer's mind. It constantly strikes me, how much the original comic run went on to influence SO much of Conan. With artists like Winsor-Smith and Buscema really putting their mark on the character as much as Frazetta. So, I know that Roy lifted Sonya and changed it to Sonja (with permission, btw, from the Howard estate)... for the comic. And now she is almost as recognizable.

Susano Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Here, this is from my Hero Character sheet for Red Sonya: Red Sonya of Rogatino appears in the Robert E Howard short story, The Shadow Of The Vulture, where she helps defend Vienna from Suleyman's 1529 invasion. Howard describes Red Sonya as thus: "She was tall, splendidly shaped, but lithe. From under a steel cap escaped rebellious tresses that rippled red gold in the sun over her compact shoulders. High boots of Cordovan leather came to her mid-thighs, which were cased in baggy breeches. She wore a shirt of fine Turkish mesh-mail.... Her supple waist was confined by a flowing sash of green silk, into which were thrust a brace of pistols and a dagger, and from which depended a long Hungarian saber. Over this was carelessly thrown a scarlet cloak." Gottfried himself admires "the splendid swell of her bosom... the curves of her ample hips and rounded limbs."
