Barbarian and Olympian Clash

    On his way to complete another of the twelve impossible tasks set upon him by King Eurystheus, Hercules walked upon unfamiliar and hilly terrain, quite unlike the Greece he was used to traversing. A warm, summery breeze blew through the valley, refreshing the son of Zeus and mightiest man in the world.

    Hercules stopped upon a smooth, sloping hill and stretched his magnificent body. The musclebound Olympian demigod flexed his powerful muscles and rolled his neck to release tension from the long journey. After a moment’s rest, Hercules continued on his quest.

    Suddenly coming upon the horizon was the form of a man, both hulking and thick with muscles, just as impressive as Hercules’ own. This man was named Conan, a Cimmerian and barbarian warrior on a mission to find and finish the sinister snake men and their almighty leader, Set.

    Once the two men had come within earshot of one another, they stopped in place and locked eyes.

Coming Soon: Barbarian vs Olympian PDF!

Hey, everyone!  I just wanted to give you a heads-up on a surprise adaptation I'm currently working on.  I'm working to adapt Barbarian vs Olympian to PDF.  In this version, however, Conan has tagged in another man to take his place.

Some of you might remember Talro, one of the men of Thordar who grew up with Tuskar.  I've given his model some updates and he's ready to assume the role of Barbarian in this tale.  The story and fight is mostly the same as the blog version, with some elements changed, remixed, or enhanced.

(Coincidentally: I had dominate Hercules in that Lux test a long time ago, too!)

It's been some months since the events of Tuskar the Barbarian: The Axe of Power, and Talro (who is mentioned briefly at the end of that story) has come to Greece in search of Tuskar.  The blond stud confronts Hercules, who he is sure knows something about Tuskar's whereabouts.  The bearded demigod recognizes the savage as trouble and demands he leave Greece and return home.

This adaption is coming along well and should be done sometime this coming week.  I'll have more info to share soon!

Barbarian vs Olympian

On the long dirt road that led to Thebes traveled Hercules, hero of men and son of Zeus, the king of the gods.  The halfgod was feeling particularly proud of himself that day.  He'd single-handedly wrestled and defeated a wild, massive boar that was terrorizing a rural village about a day's walk from Athens.  The meat from the beast would spare the villagers of starvation for weeks and help them strengthen their trade with their neighbors.  After receiving worship and adoration for his feat, the Olympian left the village.

  

Hercules bounced his pecs as he traversed the road to his next destination, his chest swelling with pride for himself.  With a bit of a surprise, the bearded demigod came to a complete stop.  There, in the middle of the road, was a giant boulder on the ground, blocking the way for merchants and travelers.

The muscular Greek glanced around for any clues as to where the rock had come from.  As there were no telltale signs of damage in the area, he ruled out a giant dropping it there.  He slapped the cold stone twice to verify its weight.  Knowing he couldn't leave the boulder there to inconvenience the mortals of Greece, Hercules decided to move it himself.

Barbarian vs Olympian: Teaser Update

Hey, everyone.  How're you all doing?

I've managed to get quite a bit of the flood damage cleaned up, all the while doing work on the story in my spare time.  I've finished the text and render work for the main story.  Now I just have the alternate ending to write and illustrate before it's complete.

Zeus was featured in the Hercules Wins version of the short tale (Post 1 and Post 2) and he'll be back in this full version, too.  Oh, and Herc's big bro, Ares, has a cameo appearance!  I hope you guys enjoy it.  It should be ready for posting in the next few days or so.

In the meantime, I thought I'd be an evil bastard and tease the title panel with this tiny little image of it.  Mweheheheh!

Barbarian vs Olympian (WIP)

Hey, everyone!  How are you all doing?  I've begun work on a new story that I originally teased back in July of 2012 (wow, time sure passes quickly).  I think you can probably guess pretty easily who the "Barbarian" is in this title.

I just wanted to post a work-in-progress preview that has the basic battleground set up.  I'll be adding more and more details to it as I work on the story.  Keep a look out for it in the future!
