LaLLa: Sister Barbarian is an original small-format painting portraying LaLLa, the sister barbarian of CROM, as a fierce and self-possessed presence within the Crom mythos. Created on a 6 × 6 inch wood panel board using a variety of paint brush markers, the piece combines bold graphic linework with layered color and visible texture.
The compact scale draws attention to expression, posture, and attitude rather than spectacle, allowing LaLLa’s strength to emerge through restraint and focus. Brush marker strokes lend the image an immediacy and rawness, reinforcing her role as both warrior and survivor.
Exhibited in December 2025 at the Talleyville Frame Shoppe’s Big Little Art Show, the painting reflects the show’s emphasis on intimate works that reward close viewing. Though small in size, the piece carries the weight of a larger narrative, presenting LaLLa as a fully realized counterpart to Crom—resolute, dangerous, and bound to her own path.
This work functions as both a standalone character portrait and a fragment of a broader sword & sorcery world, inviting the viewer to imagine the untold story beyond the edges of the panel.
