"Some of the book cover paintings of Conan probably don't look at all like how he was described in the story. I just painted him the way I saw him. If there were scenes in the book that I really liked, I would take advantage of them, but even then I would mainly rely on my own imagination." | ||||||||||

| "...So Ralph [Mayo] handed me an anatomy book and when I went home that night I had decided to learn anatomy. I started with page one and copied the entire book - everything, in one night, from the skeleton up. I came back the next day like a dumb kid and said, 'Thank you very much, I just learned my anatomy.'...From that point on I developed pretty rapidly: I started to do things with figures that made sense." | |||||||||||
