This was a really tough call-I liked both of them quite a bit, but my vote went to #2, and others in the process agreed. With those notes in hand, Carlos sketched up the option you see below. I also liked the loose hair from C but would like to see it blowing in the same direction as the shawl. Through a round of discussion, we determined we needed to play her up as more feminine and steer away from the heavier outfits.Įlements that I wanted to keep from this round were the scabbard and belts from A, the forearm guards from B/C, the cut of shirt from B while removing the sleeves below the biceps, and the shawl from C. Howard universe.Ĭarlos Cabrera was the artist assigned the task of bringing this character life, and in his first round of sketches, he captured everything I was looking for. I dove a bit into historical 1800’s Polish and Ukrainian clothing and weapons to create a believable character while blending her into the Robert E. Not to be confused with the Hyborian Age Red Sonja (note the different spelling), this Red Sonya is a warrior of Polish-Ukrainian descent and is adept at both gun slinging and sword fighting.


In this concept art Insider, I’ll be discussing the visual development of Robert E.
