This of course is a Euro adaptation of one of the great Conan tales, here reconstructed by Régis Hautière & Didier Cassegrain, and indeed, part of an excellent series:

In Red Nails, Conan and Valeria happen to bump in to each other whilst fleeing a dinosaur-predator. They’re not exactly fond of each other due to past history, but they’re forced to form a truce, so as to escape… well, being dinner.
Unfortunately, the only real place to flee is an abandoned… castle, or palace… weirdly without windows, or any sort of ‘usual’ architecture.
It gets much, much crazier from here, and is absolutely worth a read, via this particular BD, or via [the source].
Red Nails was Howard’s last Conan tale, before tragedy cut short his life at only 29yo. Like most of his Conan (and other) work, it’s very dark-pulpish, aspects of which the various comic adaptations only occasionally capture, IME.
Huh! My last ‘true love’ upon such a series was upon the 70’s Land of the Lost, directly revealing my age-range, I suppose. But Dinotopia sounds really interesting, so you got me right there!
Really, now?
Speaking as a watercolor artist myself, just… fluffing oils?
Well, separate paintings! He doesn’t mix them (as far as I know.
He’s got this epic YouTube channel where he does plein-air watercolor and gauche paintings.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of watercolor. He’s so talented
Thanks, pal.
I’ll check it on my phone.
YT absolutely destroys Firefox, for some reason.
