MOTU Deviantart ART

[Eamon]

Adam usually gets from $200-$300 for a sketch like this. But it's worth every penny!! It's done with Copic Markers on 11x17 bristol board.

Are they really that big? Wow! That's pretty good actually!

Yup, saw him working (I think it may have been this very one) with a sketch pad that big when I met him at Supercon 09' . If I had the money I'd commission a Teela pin-up, his back list of commissions were huge talk about a workaholic!

Nice finds theblock, I particularly like the Eternia one!!

Karla, on behalf of every person who ever was, is or will be a She-Ra fan - THANK YOU for commissioning that glorious sketch Honestly, it's amazing. I knew AH! was crazy talented, but this sketch is truly a work of art. Take GOOD GOOD care of it. Hopefully, someday, it'll be reprinted in a She-Ra art book. That would be awesome.

Her face is just...perfect. You know??? Did you give him any instructions as he was drawing it, or did you just say "She-Ra!" and let him do his thing?

I could go on for a while, so I'll just stop and and say again, thank you!

[Karla]

Thanks!! I am taking THE BEST care of it. It's been scanned, documented and professionally framed.

Adam really is one of the best, and he was really sweet about this piece in particular.
He knew it meant A LOT to me, and I was very patient when it came to getting on his sketch list.

When he finally got a chance to do this piece, I gave him the disc insert from "The Secret of the Sword" and left him to do his magic. I think he gave her the goddess treatment. Which is A-Okay with me!

This piece was done at Heroes Con in 2009.

MY EYES!

I have no idea how he still gets work. Either he is very charasmatic, incites contraversary or he has numerous bedfellows.

Okay, I can totally understand how THAT one is awful. As for his He-Man, the harness just looks awkward and the sword SHOULD have been the correct sword.


As for the comment about him never drawing feet, well maybe he just can't draw them very well. Not every artist can render every single section of the human body correctly.


I rarely can draw feet or hands very well on the rare occasions I draw fan art. So, my rule on extremities is: If you cannot draw it worth a ****, don't draw it at all.


I think it was Todd McFarlane who once said he isn't very good at drawing the male physique, which is why he draws Spawn in a giant cape all the time, which helps cover up any area he doesn't want to draw. Can't be 100 % on that quote, but it makes sense.


Personally, I'm terrible at the male superhero physique which is why I use a lot of capes and body armor.


So, I usually draw He-Man in any one of his variant armors, like 'Battle Armor', 'Snake Armor', etc.



But, don't knock an artist for "never drawing feet". Would you rather he draw what he really can't too well and have this awkward drawing that looks decent except the feet are abnormally awful??


But, yeah, he shouldn't draw Captain America.

Dude, he's a professional comic artist being paid to do his job. There are people out there who can draw all parts of the human anatomy, and who don't have jobs in the industry, while he is/was considered big time.

In my head, if you have trouble drawing bits, focus and practise. Just hiding them is lazy.

I would rather he try than place a random rock there.

No artist is perfect granted, but this is just criticism. Its part and parcel of being an artist. I'm sure there are people out there who adore his art and fair play to them.

He is an actual comic book artist??? Well, then he probably shouldn't be in the business if he cannot correctly render body parts.


And, that Captain America does look awful. I remember towards the end of when I was reading comics, all of the Marvel ones had these artists who couldn't even render the faces of characters like Cable. YRRCH!

I don't know if these had already been posted before but I hope not.
Found this piece of art yesterday and though He-Man looks like our (germany's) woman chancellor Angela Merkel the overall picture is really awesome.
Like a religious painting from medieval times. Esp. Skeletor and little Orko above look great!

The other picture is some kind of beer label featuring a bizzare Tri-Klops and Skeletor.

Both aren't from deviantart but from the superpunch blogspot...
Enjoy:

Smart move, Karla, bringing along the interior booklet. I always wonder if artists get insulted when someone offers reference material like that. I'd like to think AH! knows She-Ra by heart, being the awesome, awesome girl she is.

What was the experience like getting on his list? Did you try at various Cons?

Gosh, I still get all happy just thinking about that piece. It's truly spectacular. And it's a SKETCH! Somehow, it doesn't need any more than it already has.

Adam Hughes just posted this one

[Mike Bock]

Wow that's an awesome pic! Adam Hughes is the man!

[JafariStew]

That Evil-Lyn image by Adam Hughes is superb!!

[DisneyBoy]

Holy Moley - dude is out of control!

That's it. I needs me some AH! She-Ra cast art. This guy would do the ladies SUCH justice!

(So that's what now..She-Ra, Evil-Lyn and the Sorceress so far?)

[Divia]

Love the Evil Lyn one

[theblock]

Ah saw that posted on DA's front page and figured it would show up here pretty fast, this IS Adam Hughes we're talking about !
Found something just as awesome to:

By the power of GRAYSKULL by *Elengwat on deviantART

MOTU - Teela by ~fernandocarvalho on deviantART

Meckaneck vs Merman by ~fernandocarvalho on deviantART

[theblock]

Fun crossover idea, but why would they fight eachother!

Wonder Woman vs She-Ra by ~FeiLongEX on deviantART

[willykfg]

no airbrush or digital

[JafariStew]

Love that colored eastern-style one by "fetch" theblock... totally reminds me of the Udon Street Fighter stuff that was a big influence on me over the last decade...

[Eternian Poet]

What amazing artwork in this thread! What talent out there!

I'm mostly a fan of more realistic images, as some of the styles I see don't engage me.

But the more recent pictures of Evil-Lyn & Teela are enough to make your nose bleed. And the dynamic captured in Mer-Man vs. Mekanek makes this such an explosive representation!

[Divia]

I like the Teela one from the guy. I dont like the shot of everyone, well I do, but I dont like how disjointed Teela is. Kinda throws it off for me.

[riccochete]

This guy is stealing some of your art and claiming it as his own.

Pretty cool. Looks pretty spot on to what a painting from that era would look like.

Horrendously stupid image. Right up there with that comic book artist who draws Captain America with strange pectoral muscles atop another set of pectoral muscles.


All I can say about the Adam Hughes Evil-Lyn pic is: HUBBA BUBBA!!!



The MOTU group shot is pretty good. The Teela solo one is great. Always have loved that version of Teela.

[Eamon]

That Adam Hughes Evil Lyn is flippen great man!
I dare say I prefer this to his She-Ra!

Liking that anime group shot too!
