Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, is called upon by the beautiful princess Yasmela to lead the armies of Khoraja. But what dark magic lies behind the enemy desert hordes and their mysterious masked sorcerer, Natohk?
Neural networks were heavily leveraged to create the breadth of illustrations in this story, capturing the epic detail, dark magic, and heroic deeds of Conan's world.
