Conan the Cimmerian - Fan Tribute by Alain Seguin
Фильм және анимация
In a sordid neighborhood called The Maul in the city of Arenjun, known as the "City of Thieves," Conan hears about a gem called the Heart of the Elephant, hidden in the heavily guarded Tower of the Elephant. Intrigued, he decides to steal it. Inside, he faces deadly traps and sorcery before discovering Yag-Kosha, an alien being tortured by the sorcerer Yara.
"The Tower of the Elephant" is a Conan story by Robert E. Howard.

It is an absolute pleasure for me to show you what I've been up to for the last 3 months; the stories of Conan are timeless, and filled with fantasy adventure that still hold up today. This is merely a tribute from me, but hopefully fans of Conan will enjoy the glimpse into his world as seen through my eyes!

Lots more on it coming up, like comparison videos and process videos, so stay tuned! Thanks for checking it out!

Dude that’s Genndy Tartakovsky levels of good animation. And what a tribute to one of Conan’s earliest adventures.

Yeah, it does, but it still feels like mostly its own thing. Because I appreciate that the artist went for a somewhat retro feel to the animation but is still plenty fluid and clean. Just look at when Conan jumps over the canal and fights the white lion and you'll see what I mean. But someone really should hire this guy and make an animated Conan series out of it.

Man I was gonna say the same thing it looks great please give this guy the green light to start doing his own thing! We need this I would tune in for every episode .I think it would be really great to see a double shot on Fridays or Saturdays one Conan and one Primal back to back it would be awesome at least I think so

@@edwardleonetti2492 Honestly, you're not wrong. I too would tune into this type of animated show, especially if the directors and such would keep all that stupid modern political crap out of it. But I do think there'd be a nice little reference to be made. I know that Primal's main characters Spear and Fang were based off a Robert E. Howard short story by the same name, Spear and Fang. But what I think would be cool if they just kind of made reference to Spear being an ancestor of Kull the Conqueror, who's supposed to be a ancestor of Conan's.

Iconic quote.
Big fan of REH and the original Conan stories. Please, please push this into a full fledged show. I am begging you. Tower of the Elephant is my favorite Conan story and it deserves to be treated right.
This artist needs to be hired Frederick to do an entire series of all of REH's stories of Conan!!! This is superb art!!!
Craziest part is that in this story Conan was still a teenager
THAT IS PERFECT. I've been hugely into Conan since the 80s and that iteration of the tower of the elephant is incredible. Well done. Please do more.
I NEED to see the full story animated, it looks very cool.

The expressiveness on the taverngoers is really great, and the art style is simultaneously fitting yet also cozy in a way I wouldn't normally associate with Conan stuff. Would love to see a full animated version of this story - you deserve a studio.

I do appreciate that as well, as the artist could've just made them super basic, but chose to go the extra mile and give them more personality. I wish this guy could get some real funding and be allowed to make an animated Conan series or something, because even this short little video is some good stuff.
Okay, now I NEEEEED!!!! an animated Conan series. Immediately! PLEASE!!!!! unbelievable work. Thanks for sharing this

Glad you got around the stereotype of Conan being bare-chested all the time - in Howard's stories he wears the right clothes and armour depending on the situation. Conan is no fool.

You’re definitely on to something here. The animation is absolutely top tier and there is a huge hunger in the marketplace for something raw and gritty like Conan. I watched it like 3 times wishing it were a realized show, and I never watch cartoons. Well done.

Nothing has made me actually want to check out Conan in the way that this has. This is awesome.
12 seasons of this please!
Incredible interpretation of the source material, with a fantastic animation style to boot, every character is so full of life. Hats off!
I would watch the hell out of a full show like this.
Fantastic work! I love the fluidity of the animation and the elegant colours.
As much as I love Arnie movies I always wanted an adaptation more faithful to the books. Make it an animation that is like much more painterly Genndy Tartakovsky? I'm sold.
This is incredible. I would be all over a Conan series done this way. Maybe this is the way to go with it.
Damnit, Amazon, you were going to make a Conan series, so just let this man direct and animate it and finally turn a profit on a series.
What an absolute masterpiece of animation. Great work! Sad to see that the world's greatest thief didn't make the cut but I can understand why. Loved the look of this. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this.

Man, the Elephant god/alien thing was weird. Good work, respect.
Absolutely astonishing work
Holy crap!! You just blew my mind! More please!
Holy shit,this is incredible. Very reminiscent of Primal and that's a GREAT thing. I'm ready for a full length cartoon and/or series! Bravo!!
Beautiful work! Tower of the Elephant was one of my favorite Conan stories right behind Beyond the Black River.
THIS PLEASES CROM!!
The artstyle feels like the love-child of Primal & Emperor's New Groove.
You hit many of the main bullet points of that story Nice job!
Love it! As a newer reader of Conan this is exciting to see. Great work, and more please!
So great! Thanks for all your hard work - you really captured the essence of the story and world. Very cool 👍
Was just looking forward to Conan’s conversation with the elephant being! Wonderful stuff! We want more!
wow, this is spot-on how I remembered the story. Amazing work!
This is the masterpiece! I wish to watch it in full length with soundtrack like Basil Poledouris made
Looks great -- we need more Conan stuff like this.
We really need a new Conan movie that's actually good and not just the usual Hollywood BS
as more of these great characters begin to lapse I hope more talents like Alain Seguin take advantage of the cming opportunity to do great things

Good job. I think he was 17 or so when he started. You can do a whole lifetime of work. Nice.

Love the attention to detail and commitment to the source material! Your take on Yag-Kosha is a bit less enfeebled than I typically imagine, but still amazing! Liked and subscribed~
What i loved about the arnie movie is that he barely talked. If you made this tune i think a great idea would be to allow his thoughts to be heard. Like his inner dialogue.
Outstanding.
I enjoyed that. Had Korgoth vibe at the start lol. Would love to see more. Sound needs to be more impactful.
Incredible.
Wow. Just wow. I hope Genndy Tartakovksy sees this!!! Exact same Primal vibes, and for those who don't know he is a fan of Conan as well, hence why Spear gets a sword in season 2!
