Demo-man and others proto-MOTU

**monkeyhead** · February 23, 2011, 10:15pm

When I see that guy, the name Double-Cross springs to mind...

**oICEMANo** · February 24, 2011, 01:50am

Is it just me or is anybody else not seeing images hosted by Imageshack??

**danbrenus** · February 24, 2011, 06:02pm

Well, as I'll be very busy for some days, I'll post two more characters:

I've done a mix between the btwo version, as I've done with the green witch, of this woman archer, she would like very good among the knights and forest characters. Any names for this pretty gal?

This guy is an old glory from the COTUverse of Galaxywarrior (who did a magnificient COTU figure, a real classic for all customizers). His attested fan-name is Fear-ro, an unproduced Horde mummy.

**Sleeper** · February 24, 2011, 06:33pm

I just looked at every single pic. Absolutely incredible. Love the name Gore-Tusk (kind of like "grotesque"). Love the "Crab-Man" too. (I'm from Maryland

) I was thinking of a name for him. Something like "CRUSHtacean" but that's a little too complex and doesn't really roll off the tonque too cleanly.

So many others to comment on. I have to look at them again.

(Oh, and crabs are "crustaceans" by the way. Maybe not everybody knows that.)

This is the second version of the goat horns guy, I'd like to have them as two separated characters, this one, if the other is Basher, is called Goat-man and, like Warthog-man is an evil beast-guy.

This must be the early stage of Two-bad, but he's different enough to become a character of his own...I'll call him Dual-danger but I'd like to hear some hint from you.

Doubleganger--a rip off idea of mine
Twinstor--original idea. originally bad

that's all I got.

**Bulkhide** · February 24, 2011, 08:33pm

Love all 4 of the new ones! The Fear-Ro and Forest Ranger Lady are awesome!

**oICEMANo** · February 25, 2011, 02:24am

Hmm so apparently Imageshack have made it so non-members cant see anything hosted by Imageshack...

Sure, she's been kind of fan-named by us on the boards, as we had a fanart redsign challenge for her, I should remember because I ACTUALLY WON that one!! lol

Check out the thread for the different names like "Thorn" & the "Grayskull Ranger."

**TechTrek** · February 25, 2011, 10:19am

i do like thorn. perhaps she uses large thorns for the arrow heads on her arrows?

THORN: heroic greyskull ranger

dude, i really need to get into photoshop and make a picture of all of your forest characters in one shot!!

they would be the "friends of the forest" the heroes that fight for greyskull. some of them shady pasts, so they are still yet rebels to the eternian society.

close with mossman.

hmm..... my personal canon is getting bigger as we speak

keep up the great work dan!

Oh yeah! I remember that. Some nice designs there.
I think I can safely say that the Gortusk and Fear-O names were originally my creations.

(might have to check dates on the Fear-O but Im pretty sure my redeisgn was the first time that name appeared)

Hmmmm I really like Crushtacean, but it's not up to me as he isn't a character I created, it's the people at .org who shall decide, so, let's go folks...

I can't believe I missed it! Credit to you old friend, you deserve it for sure!
Let's go with Thorn the Grayskull ranger as her official name!

Then credit to you too Ice, you are a great artist and deserve it as well.
If there is something else about this old designs I don't know, please tell me.
Now two more guys, I'm very pressed with an important commission, so I'm delaying my production a little, I'm sure you'll forgive me.

This is the undeveloped trasparent-man, I'm pretty sure this is an early sketch for what will become Roboto (the chest design is the same of the minicomics version of Roboto, so I gave him the same color scheme) but he can stand as an indipendent character as well...if he has head and limbs traslucent too...

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This is an early stage of Snout-spout (I believe) but as Snouty is really lame, an warrior elephant ugly and savage with his thundering war horn would have been glorious. He reminds me of the elephant headed outwordly guy from the early Conan comic "the tower of the elephant"...a great classic.

**Bulkhide** · March 6, 2011, 05:43pm

Love that Elephant Man.

**JafariStew** · March 6, 2011, 10:05pm

^^ both brilliant & awesome illustrations!

**BlueSmoke** · March 6, 2011, 10:31pm

The big brain horde guy is absolutely my favorite. I love these. Great imagination and thanks for sharing this awesome work.

**danbrenus** · March 13, 2011, 09:37am

Just six more to go, then the proto-sketches (at least the ones I know of), are over:
Dial-a-mug_

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This is one of the few example of Filmation development of Mattel unproduced character. Sadly, this means Mattel will never produce a Dyla-a-mug figure.
Tree-plant-man_

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Another example is this "tree-plant-man", he probably was an early stage of Moss-man, which would have been much more glorious than a simply repaint of Beast-man, that ended up being used (maybe) by Filmation in the conception of Evil-seed...and (surely) for the MYP Evil-seed.

**he-mike** · March 13, 2011, 01:35pm

Only 6 more? What about all the Comet Warrior concepts? You've got to find a way to keep these great characters coming!

I'll be honest...I always really hated the rock people (and the cometroids...and the twistoids)...I'm a regular figures lover.
Emiliano once said there are dozens of unseen sketches hidden somewhere, I hope they will pop out one day.

**Toymaker** · March 13, 2011, 06:23pm

Great sketches again, especially the Elephant Man.

I wonder if Matty ever made these, if Transparent Man could use SDCC Orko's trick!

I can see a lot of MYP Evilseed in Plant Man, maybe we could get a Plant Man head with Evilseed?

**danbrenus** · March 21, 2011, 09:31am

Here are other two protos, the first is:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This I'll call Jester, his concept was used by Filmation for that guy in the episode "the cold zone".

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This cute gal I'll call Illumina like the character created by Val and Emiliano, I doubt the two gals are really related but I find enough similarities to give the proto-one the name of the latter.
Only two more...

**he-mike** · March 22, 2011, 11:46pm

Love Jester! I've finished my custom Warthog-Man figure, but he'll be waiting for his debut until I've finished another Danbrenus re-design

.

well this is a very appreciated news!

unproduced concept figures, danbrenus' re-desings, he-mike's customizing skills: amazing recipe!!

**JafariStew** · March 23, 2011, 05:43pm

The last 2 are some of your BEST Dan!! I hate to see this amazing thread come to an end with only a few characters left!!

**danbrenus** · March 24, 2011, 11:49am

OK my friends, the race is over, these are the two last proto-MOTU, as far as new undeveloped character sketches will pop out:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This was difficult, I mean, it's very hard to compare to the awesome Gbagok version as it is already a classic, so I keep the design more similar to the origin.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
And for the last I kept this, the awesome pre-Beast-man, pre-Gygor, post-Redbeast! As for the name, I don't know, for now I'll call him Protobeast!

**Lewd_Squirrel** · March 24, 2011, 12:39pm

great work, but sad that it's over now.
