Looking for Conan the Barbarian for M4 or F4

I know there's a M4 barbarian here at Daz, but he doesn't look like the classic comic book Conan. I've done a little hunting for him, and although I've found plenty of props and clothes, I haven't found a really convincing head morph.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

There is this.... the All Action Figure for M4 at Renderosity..
I went over there and couldn't find it. Could you please tell me the vendor's name, or PM me a link?
UPDATE: I finally found the product you mentioned. That's a good morph (I did save it), but I'm not going for the movie Conan (this would be perfect if I were, since it's a morph of Ahnold S. himself). I may pick this up sometime. Thanks.
Anybody else have an idea for the comic book Conan?
I highlighted the the All Action Figure for M4 at Renderosity and hit google search and it was the first link

I always thought smay's The Last Gladiator had a Frazetta style Conan look about him.
Also try SAV's store at Rendo. She did a lot of actor-inspired morphs. Most of them were gen4. Maybe Atlas? Gypsy Angel has done a number of male characters which would make decent barbarians.
If it's based on M4 you can dial in a bit of the Freak to make him bulkier.
Sort of a comic based one here https://www.daz3d.com/m4-warrior for M4
Or I could dial one up for ya!...Oh yeah, Ernie Chan or John Buscema?
Less Frazetta, more Micky Rourke from Sin City...
John Buscema, of course! Hmmm. I had to look past the textures at the underlying geometry, andyou may be right. Of course, the body won't do at all. Still, something to think about.
This one is pretty close to what I'm looking for. Where did you get this, or did you make it?
Alhough you are not looking for the movie version,
I could not resist the challenge.
The legacy DAZ Freak3 with the free "Barnold" morph
and the old "Barbarian for the Daz Freak" Set, Poser5 era
You may be think of Warload: M3 Barbarian which is no longer available.
Here's a Conan inspired work I did a ways back..
Heh, Been a Fraz-head for many, many decades, also a big fan of Chan/Buscema as Buscema was the closest to Frazetta without being Frazetta!
But yeah, those are my morphs, it's incredibly rare to see an actual depiction of Conan aside from the overwhelming glut of Arnie/movie versions that infests the poser/Daz world!...So I'll be more than happy to dial some morphs for you as it's all too rare to find a Frazetta/Buscema version nowadays!
Ok, here's a couple of renders of my Conan character for M4...
I know how you feel! I like the movie well enough, but I'm a big fan of the Buscema/Chan versions (also like a lot of the other artists who graced the Savage Sword of Conan magazine over the years). Right now I'm trying to improve my art by reading (and studying) my old SSoC comics (poor me, huh? Best "homework" I've ever had!), with an eye for composition and pacing. And, of course, that's bitten me with the bug to try my hand at a few Conan pin-ups of my own. Any help you could provide with getting the face right will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Great to hear, the fact that John Milius passed on Frazetta as a consultant for the film has always left a bad taste in my mouth! (Particularly with the sequels!) Yeah, Frazetta is my default and second comes JB, then Chan, although Frazetta himself was an amazing comic book artist in his own right, he and Buscema are peers in my book, though I love Chan's inking as well! I take it you like the rendered version then? If so, I'll have it to you in a jiffy!
Good sir, I LOVE the rendered versions you posted! I'm experimenting with using Poser to generate line art and am itching for the chance to try my hand at Conan. If you send that my way, I'll toss in a prayer to Mitra in thanks (I would offer one to Crom, but we know he sits brooding on his mountain and cares little for the affairs of men).
This is a cool thread. I grew up on Conan comics/graphic novels and this thread made me go to Comixology and get some Conan and Red Sonja reads and then I got inspired and created my own Conan based on GM3. Here is a WIP image
NICE, looks like Conan at 16 as he was a bad-a55 even at that young age!
Great! I'm overjoyed, I'll make a FBM by running it through Zbrush as we don't want Daz hunting us down! ;)
Here's a quick G3 Cimmarian render...
hey got a link to this morph or any other freebies? cant find it anywere and im trying to collect and preserve most of them^^
This was my Conan fan art from a ways back.. I need to revisit some Conan art..
this is m4 in carrara
A couple of Conan pics using Freek 4 with the Maxwell skin (from Mortem Vetus at Rendo) and the Barbarian King Armour here at Daz - https://www.daz3d.com/barbarian-king
Hope the pics post ok - my first attempt at posting pics!
Frazetta has been my hero for ages. The impact he had on artists is/was enormous. I can't tell you where to find Conan on Daz but I used a legacy actor from iClone in my comics and a lot of kitbashing from Daz and various sources. Just a suggestion : any Daz muscled male will do. It's the "stance" and environment that are important. Frazetta did Conan from the back more times than he did from the front. In fact, Conan's appearance changes from image to image in Frazetta's work. Just saying.
I always thought Deus Eris had the classic look of Conan.
