Warlord! I love it! I totally had that figure as a kid, and we always played him like a wise old warrior that He-Man and co had to call in when Skeletor was whuppin 'em.
This is one of my favorite threads - love that it's getting updated more often recently!
Ah ah! Glad to see others fans of Warlord out there, it was a great toy-line!
Now this:

Just a remake of our old chum Whiplash, and this:

He's my custom version of Spectror, a COTU character created by Galaxy Warrior, he's the previous wielder of the havoc staff, scarred this horribly way by Skeletor. He gained new powers due his new weapon, the shyte of doom, which gives him the power to instil fear, to become invisible and to phase through solid things.
He is evil and wicked beyond redemption and seek out for revenge on Skeletor (like it's was an easy thing...)
Your art is incredible. I'd like to see you tackle some of the Pop characters. The Catra you did is purr-fect!!!
the middle one, wasnt there a guy from this line with bblack hair and leopard or tiger lion cloth and came with a dagger? if so you ever draw him?Quote:

Tell me if you recognize him and I'll do what I can.
Now this, he's a custom character I just finished.

He's Beast-rider a mounted beast warrior from vine jungle ( or the Berzerker island if you like...), his figure will be on line soon.
great link man,, thanks:hmgrin:
arak with loin cloth was one i was thinking of ,, wish they had pict of vested one up..http://www.action-figures.ca/lost_world_warlord.htm
it would be great if you had time to whip him up:hmgrin:
Some of these are really cool! :hmgrin:
Would you not consider giving these some simple shading?
Very cool, is he suppose to be what are riding the creatures as shown here by one Deimos' pieces?Quote:

great news:hmgrin::hmgrin:
cant wait to see him
By the way, gimme the link where I can find some works by Deimos, he's such a stunning artist I can barely believe.
I post this Kali-gore ultraclassic, it's a custom figure I recently posted in the custom forum

Maybe turnig Mer-man in a cat like creature is not that original idea but, well, it turned out pretty well...
i think it worked very well:hmgrin::skgrin:
Hey Leo, here comes Arak, he's a great characters, check this link for info about him:

...and another Warrior Beast guy:
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7118/snakeman.jpg
He's Snake-man, he is the only WB AF that still evades my grasp, I just can't found him with his tail still!
I'm ultraclassing some of my custom project, I'll post 'em once the figures are done.
For Leoghan_ The link didn't works, just search "Arak, son of thunder" on wikipedia.
very awesome:hmgrin::hmgrin:
i love it , keep up the awesome work
I'm really liking your drawings of these characters for I'm a fan of the Sword & Sorcery comics of the 80s :hmgrin: ! I also have a piccolissimo request, any chance you could do Arion of Atlantis? He was also a part of DC's Warlord mythos and a part of that toyline you're drawing as well!Quote:

Dear danbrenus,
A thousand thank you's for all the SPLENDID artwork !:skwink: Wow ! You blew me away !:hmeek:
Just a little question: why don't you try your very own comic ??? You are very gifted ! Why not ?:hmconf:
Two more suggestions :
1) Do you have any "brand new", original danbrenus-created character out of your imagination, and which doesn't take parts from existing MOTU characters ?
2) May I ask you a little favor : could you please draw your version of Stan Winston's "Realm of the Claw" characters in the "master ultraclassic" style ? I would just love it if you would give it a try...
Anyway, take it easy. You worked already so hard ! But I truly loved all of your pics !
And your Orko is so baddass ! It looks like Orko would have been pumped up and strengthened by the Horde itself !
danbrenus! been a while since i had the chance to stop in and comment, but i assure you that i'm lurking frequently, and digging this thread. :skgrin:
i would love to see your custom thunder-punch! please, by all means, post some photos!Quote:

of course there's a theme here... magnificent moustaches! :sklol:Quote:

Hey Bootleg! It's about time you show up, we missed you, how about some new art? I'm still working on my Thunder-punch ( Thunder-O as I named him), soon I'll give him some spotlight.
Thanks guys, your support means a lot to me. Now some new things:
First of all Arion, you're right Block, he's a character full of potential, I'm arguing why he wasn't in the Remco line too. Here's a "custom" version, he's made by a regular Remco body, a Galaxy Fighters armor, a cape and a Remco wrestling figure head I have in my fodder, maybe I'll make a custom one day...

Then a new characters I show some weeks ago in the custom figures forum, Valgard the barbarian warlord.

For Spectror, thank's friend, I don't know about Stan Winston's "Realm of the Claw", is it a novel, a comic or a movie?
I'm a 35 artist with a wall shelfed with comics, another with fantasy and sci-fi books and one more full of 80's action figures...I have an army of characters created by me living their lives in my head!
In the 90's I tryied with comics but here in Italy the industry is poorly considered. Thank's again
Sorry I don't know u, but your stuff is awesome... I'd love if u were drawing comics of the vintage guys... I'm a big warlord fan as well so that was cool to see... truly greatness man!!! love them all... would love to put all your MOTU pics into a poster... I'd so buy that!
Hey Dan, I’m totally thrilled you went and did Arion like that, love the flashy colors and the magician-esqe pose you made for him! DC released a new Travis Morgan: Warlord series recently, wet sadly there seems to be no interest in bringing back Arion of Atlantis, but then the way DC has been treating Aquaman (whom Arion IS remotely associated with along with the whole DC Atlantis mythos), that’s probably a good thing at the time. You weren’t too keen on my Filmation style Teela suggestion, but glad you agreed on Arion, I remember seeing an old Remco ad page on one of my comics of that character and how he was among others you’ve done like Warlord,and Arak,.. The others were Hercules Unbound, and some other Warlord characters like the villain Deimos and Mikola, also Machiste whom other than the old Italian Sword & Sandal films I’m not familiar with but I think is also from Warloard (this one’s black and reminds me more of Zula from Conan).Quote:

I’d love to work somewhere in the comics industry here in the US. But it seems you have to have an art school degree to have your stuff taken seriously. I’m not sure what the comics industry in italy is like but from what I’ve seen the Japanese Manga style seems to be dominant there after seeing some sites and Enzo Troiano’s art. Thank the nostalgic gods that us fans of the classics can network like this. BTW, did you see the recent comments I left you on your DA page?
I love all your art! :hmeek:
I even like your take on Orko. That's one sorcerer that'll be taken seriously! :oreek:
Love all you're Blackstar and Warlord characters! More She-ra POP please, if you may! BraveStarr too PLEASE! :shgrin:
Realm of the Claw is a really cool toyline (a Toys'R'Us exclusive, if I remember right) AND a comic designed by Stan Winston (the guy who sculpted the Aliens for the movie !).:skwink:Quote:
For Spectror, thank's friend, I don't know about Stan Winston's "Realm of the Claw", is it a novel, a comic or a movie?
Stan Winston's sculpt is as wonderful as the 4 Horsemen's !
You can find more about this awesome comic/toyline here :
http://64.207.161.176/indexFlash.html (the comic, with a preview, and the figures).
I believe these might spark your interest...:hmblsh:
I know becoming a comic artist is very hard, but why wouldn't you create your blog or website with some of your work on it, or even a couple of stories ? You could even begin with posting the "MOTU Ultraclassic" drawings ! Just an idrea...
My cousin's husband, who is into comic drawing too, is doing just that, whenever he has the time.
