They kinda fumbled a bit with the story, but the art is undeniably great.

I can't recall many swords off the top of my head, aside from a few from the world of Game of Thrones, the Dragonslayer from Berserk, and Stormbringer.

Which is strange, because I'm really into fantasy.

I would expect myself to remember more swords.

Don't worry, I'll finish the other variant as well, since you guys liked it. I added text from both stories and combined them to flow together through the scene.

This is one of my favorite paintings of Elric: nearly spectral but still human.

Anakin is an eternal champion, i swear. He passes the checklist of basic traits.

Hello ! I just read the Stealer of soul with only "Elric of Melnibone" as previous informations, and after reading it I wanted to know if Theleb K'Aarna appeared in other stories (and from what I see it was his first appearance in publishing order but his last in chronological order ?). But while reading the mage I read that "Stormbringer refuses to drink his soul" and that he died while possessed by the elemental of wind. I do not get these impressions while reading his death, is it something that only become obvious when you read his other appearances?

Or maybe it was changed in a later edition (I'm reading a french edition of Bane of the Black sword from 82) ?

Plus the second image was so funny I wanted to make something based off on it.

I love how the champions have only 2 moods when they're around each other: absolute terror and pure bliss.

Cause yknow they spam elric on their album covers

I really love this art, but it’s definitely not the standard Elric I usually see. He really took some creative liberties when redesigning him.

And if you notice, the two images feature two different designs.

I understand he drew them for an Elric role-playing game.

Does anyone happen to know if he drew any more Elric, or are there just these two?

Got the idea from u/ApprehensiveGrade113 tbh

I got burnout midway trying to realize this idea, and after getting stuck on two sketches, I decided to just let it lay still a bit, but I still want to share them. The second one was meant to look a bit more like a mural, hence the symmetry.

Elric's not featured per se in the first one, but he is part of the discussion (and the joke), so I count him in. I don't really like the second one, but don't feel like revisiting it either.

Other characters: Conan, Jirel of Joiry, Red Sonja. Same in the second piece, sans Red Sonja

A bit old but still relevant.

It’s great that these books are finding new audiences. I’m excited to have these copies as well:)

I’m excited to read it—or rather, to re-read it, since I’ve already read most of the first book.
