Conan Comic Tribute!
I haven't been all that impressed with most of the Conan fan tributes on the web, but YouTuber vnv125's offerings have got panache! Another case in point...

Conan (the Adventurer) TV Series - The Heart of the Elephant!
No, not exactly a review, more like nonsensical ramblings, hitting the highlights so to speak as I took in the opening two episodes of the Conan: the Adventurer!
Early on in part one, we get a glimpse of a couple of incredibly hot gals (servant types), the one on the left being none other than Cindy Margolis! Whoo Hoo! And that outfit…ghak! No idea who that is standing next to her, but we’d make a delightful trio of adventurers (email me you two, we’ll talk).

Ralf Moeller as Conan
The leading lady, actress Kimberly Kelley, tackles the role of Conan’s love interest (Tamira) quite nicely. She’s a real charmer, so imagine my dismay when she gets killed off near the end. I was going to give you a spoiler alert on that, but it’s fantasy, so there’s nothing stopping her from being ressurected if need be…so chill! Besides, if you really want to familiarize yourself with Kimberly’s body of work, you need to check out Midnight Tease 2!!
And what do we have here…ha.ha.ha…seriously, Ralf is not “that” tall, so that would put his face about…ummm…

The “Thing In The Crypt” scene was quite stirring. I admit I was on the edge of my seat as Conan approached the long dead chieftain. Sure the “thing” looked more like an Alien (think Sigourney Weaver) than what I would have expected, but creepy nonetheless. That is, until it comes to life…holy Harryhausen! Ok, moving on then…
Thing in Crypt – “touch me Conan, toouuccchhh meeeee....”
Wait! Is that a Klingon guarding the tower (of the Elephant)? If so, how frigging awesome is that! You just can’t go wrong with Klingons, anytime, anywhere.
Klingon?
Once Conan loses all the sidekicks, awesomeness ensues. The battle with the spider was freaky cool, and Yag-kosha was a pleasant surprise…both stirred up memories of Howard's classic tale (and the “inspiration” for these two episodes), The Tower of the Elephant!
The one sentence summary: I’d have to say that these two episodes reminded me of Conan the Destroyer, only better!

More Conan 3D Animation from Ralph Sutter!
You might remember Ralph Sutter's impressive 3D Conan project posted by Reis a while back (here)...we just got word from Ralph himself that he’s recently graduated, and with more free time on his hands he’s considering a rework of that project, or possibly even creating a whole new Conan animated project from scratch!
Well he’s updated his Conan model, and just finished putting together a walkcycle so we could see it in action!
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Conan emanate that much confidence! I wonder if Ralph has based that sequence on Travolta’s strut from Saturday Night Fever? THIS Conan eats Red Nails for breakfast!
OK, that’s my two bits…if you’ve got any feedback for Ralph, he would much appreciate it!
*** UPDATE ***
Now with jiggling muscles and more armor parts!
Conan 3D CGI Project by Ralph Sutter!
CROM! reader, Rrozum, passed along a link to one seriously badass 3D graphics project by designer/animator Ralph Sutter and I just had to post it here. Well done Ralph! And thanks to Rrozum for sending it our way!
Fan Made Conan Digital Short!
Crom reader, and digital animator, Jim Drakopoulos, sent me a link this morning of his latest project, in which we see a CGI son of Cimmeria going head to head with a giant snow ape! This is great work and much thanks to Jim for sharing this with us!
Get your 3D glasses ready for the scene at the end!
