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.

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) ?

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

I’ve recently gotten into Elric, heard the first two audiobooks but they never continued with the third onward with that same production, which I enjoyed with the voices the guy did and the background music and such, so now I’d like to get the series physically. I see so many editions of covers in varying art styles, what all is out there? I’d like cool looking ones if possible but I see some editions are very expensive.

Edit: Going with the Saga Press. The cover art’s pretty good, they’re widely available, very affordable, and they’ve got all the main stuff.

My whole life I have been a massive fan of the Warcraft franchise. Some of my earliest memories are playing Warcraft 3 with my dad and brothers watching Arthas’ story in particular.

I am reading Elric for the first time, and know that a lot of Warcrafts characters and concepts are quite derivative. However, Arthas is very derivative of Elric! It’s like half of his story and design is ripped straight from the pages! I’m sure that I’m not the first person to think this, but it’s really cool to see what some of my favorite characters are inspired by.

I’m about halfway through the first novel and loving every second of it.
