Hey Tank,
While Joe is a runaway favorite as far as toy lines go, Conan is my first true pop culture obsession. And lately, I've been working on getting a good skin tone based on REH's descriptions, which generally are something alone the lines of bronzed or tanned by constant exposure to the sun. I thought I'd settled on a color I like and have been struggling with it, but put it to rest after I couldn't find anything I liked better. I then revised my Conan at Venarium custom. During the Seige of Venarium, Conan was 14, and had not yet left Cimmeria. It didn't seem like this iteration should be as tan or dark-skinned as the later versions, so I revised his skin tone to be tan, but less so. Now I think I prefer this and may re-do all my Conans in the same fashion. Just wanted to get some thoughts from the Tank, which will hopefully include a REH sycophant or two. Here's some shots of the new paint and some comaparisons of the old, both with and without flash on the photo.

Hm, I haven't read much of Conan, though I want to, but the lighter skintone definitely reminds me of Frazetta's artwork. I think it would definitely look nice for the adult versions of Conan, and maybe do an even lighter one for young Conan (the Cimmerians are supposed to be ancestors to the Celts, if I've been told right/going off the names).
