Thank'you, I've done two great scene for Galaxy Warrior's COTUWORLD, hope he'll shows it soon on the org or in his blog, I assure yuo I gave my best in these two!

I love the fresh and original take on Orko. I have always believed that Orko doesn't need to be played as the inept sorcerer who is the butt of every joke. Your concept of Roboto is identical to the belief I have held since childhood. I see them as the heroic counter part to the Horde Trooper as used by the Elders in the Great War that ravaged Eternia eons ago.

OOOOOk, we get the same idea, very good pal.

I'm not sure I like the idea of adam as a separate character since they have the same face.

Well, nobody ever noticed it in 25 years...

What if Randor had both children kidnapped by Skeletor (around the time he mystically cloned the Goddess Teela) but lost one over the evergreen forest while fleeing the battle? Adora could still be delivered to Hordak in Etheria (assuming you do She-Ra that is) Adam grows up in the tribe of jungle men, always knowing he never belonged...Perhaps his need to discover his origin added to his reason for leaving his tribe? He could later learn that he is Adam, Son of Randor and heir to Eternian thrown. King Of Castle Grayskull mini comic seams to indicate it is his birthright to rule, and this could be why. It's takes element from the cartoon but is grounded in the early mini comic style. I wrote up a small bible and outlines for a dozen stories set in the early mini comic style, so I always had a lot of ideas on how to expand that version.

Hmm, not bad, very good indeed, but I've never been a fan of all the She-ra bargain, only He-man and the early minicomics Eternia for my canon. But it's only my opinion and your version is the finest I've ever read nowadays.

Sorry for my ramblings, this is your thread, don't take my words as me saying you are wrong, as you cannot be wrong since this is your personal interpretation. :hmgrin:

Sorry what? That's a forum, we talk and discuss our idea here, ever welcomed in my yard.
That's the best thing, every fan can have is own canon.
.....even only to get safe from Demo-man!

And for Kai, sorry if I haven't answered you till now, for me Ram-man is the big, thoug, strong and shy guy, Fisto is more like the hunger dog, the hot tempered rough warrior of the bunch, the Wolverine type if yuo alloow me.
What do you think?

Now to add some to the Fuerza-tT series I'll post Carnivor and Shidoshi.
To be honest I find the color scheme of Shidoshi is a little kitch, but whatever...

Just sent to GW my last cover of his Pre-Eternia series, a great battle scene in the classic MOTU poster manner, hope he will show it to you all soon, i'm very proud of it.

Now take this new version of Beast-man,the first rendition is good but I believe this is better, thanks to MOTUC Beasty...

If you ask me, Mattel should have produced more basic figures than action-features-oriented-ones...just my opinion...

Wow look at my Sig...I am hoping they do make a Baena MOTUC.

I'm a big fan of the 80's knock-off series, toy-line produced to fill in the succes of MOTU.
The best of 'em, save for Blackstar who wasn't a real knock-off, was the Remco Warrior Beasts. They are pretty generic tughs with cool head sculp, a perfect add for any MOTU collection.
My all time favourite was surely this:

This is a little old pics, I didn't mean to post it in the first time but Bootleg did a real awesome rendition of him, so I post my too.

danbrenus: this thread is truly wonderful! you should post battle horn and both versions of gygor here as well, just so we can see all your works in one spot! :skgrin:

that picture of skull man looks great--what other older works are you hiding from us? i want to see it all! :sklol:

btw, of everything in this thread, my favorite is your new take on orko--

This thread delivers! I'm looking forward to the bios on Stinkor and Spikor if you get around to it. And like a few others have already said, I'm totally diggin' the new take on Orko.

Thanks mate, your threads are too, and your Deviant-page is AMAZING!
This Orko was the less painfull I could imagine, always hated the ol' flyin' bag of trash!
I'll post here all the stuff as soon as I can, promised.
I love your "new characters from old variation" too, I already customized Thunder-punch!
What about a non-Heman Prince Adam? I mean, I'm a barbarian He-man canon follower, but Adam is a pleasant character, I have his AF and use him as an indipendent character...he has the same face of He-man? Nobody ever noticed!
Sleeper: thanks, and for the bios...uhm, I'm thinking of Stinkor as an'infinitian elemental of the foulness, as much as Moss-man is of the cleansness's of eternian forest. For Spikor, I see him coming from the same world of Trap-jaw, the planet prison...still arguing about it...

These look great. I love the classic style (no anime!) and specially love the girls.
I'm all for the red and orange RAM-MAN, like the one in the vintage card.
I would really love to use some of them in my card designs.

Ok, so here is my, uh, knock-off ultraclassic...though I never considered the Blackstar series as a knock-off.
Let's start with the Overlord, allmighty lord of Sagar, the only one who can match Skeletor evil power...and charisma.
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2587/overlordl.jpg
Then Kadray, the lord of time
http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/8910/kadraywv8.jpg
Neptul, warlord of the undersea kingdom of Aquaria.
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6194/neptulvd6.jpg
the leopard man and ultimate Sagar huntsman, Tongo
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8136/tongoki3.jpg
and the lord of the vampires Gargo
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9038/gargony0.jpg

Super Amigo:Sure you can use 'em for your card design, just give me credit and I'll be happy.

and then Klone, the shapeshifter.
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3530/klone.jpg
As promised, here is two more Warrior Beasts characters, Guana...
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/1430/guana.jpg

Blackstar was the BEST thing Filmation ever did IMO.
(Again, note that's just my opinion! ;) )

It's really too bad it only lasted as long as it did.
Reminds me I need to take a sunday afternoon and just watch them all again. :)

Yeeeaaahh!! The Blackstar characters look wicked!! :hmgrin:

I'm a bit of a fan. Got me a near complete MIB collection!

Tis a lovely looking DVD set though! :hmgrin:

*sigh* You're right, it's the Trobbits that ya gotta get through. :belol:
It is still Filmation after all, so the silly-factor can only wear on you so long right? :sklol:

I love Blackstar, and your pics are rockin! The only thing I'm not sure on is Mara's blue hair ... isn't it supposed to be purple?

Yeah, I agree 100%, Blackstar rocked really hard, but don't forget Flash Gordon! THAT would be a great cross-over, Mongo entering the orbit of Sagar...or Eternia...
I'm an anti"comic relief for young children" too, but I'll always prefer all the 7 Trobbits all the way over one damn Orko!
[FONT="Arial Black"]J-bird[FONT="Arial"]: uh, to me they looks all right, but I'll check as soon as I get time to run the DVD, thank'you.
Now do some new characters, can't wait to see your version of Zodac!

Flash Gordon rules. It'd be great to see you draw Flash in a battle with Ming. I always loved the atmosphere of Mongo the way Filmation did their beautiful backrounds.

Funny. I have Blackstar on DVD, but couldn't get past the first 3 episodes, because of those Trobbits bugged me. I have more respect for Orko and all his backround.

Hm, Flash vs Ming...lusty! I'll see what I can do.
Now three unreleted concept:
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/262/bow.jpg
Really, I can't believe nobody ever thought about it, a MOTU version of Bow! Surely the first thing he would say if he just pop in Eternia would be: Hey, where are all the babes I was stickin' around with?
The custom concept is Randor body and armor with a fresh repaint and a, uh, bow...
http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7172/warlord.jpg
And good old Travis Morgan, I know the Mike Grell version is the best, in the comics, but here we're talkink about action figures!
http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9972/fisto2.jpg
And another version of Fisto, the first was good, but lacked of the sword!

Wow these are all awesome!
I love all the Blackstar characters. Love your style. So cool.
Fisto looks terrific. Great work man.

Gargo, Guana, & Warlord are some of my faves, those (KO & not so KO) guys used to battle the Masters back in my playing days too... your art really captures the classic figures I had as a child of the 80's. ... The color-style you use fits very well too (especially Guana), & this is just absolutely killa stuff!! Keep up the great work!!
