MOTU the Lost Season ( Bock's fan project)

Your line-weight variations are used in interesting angles. What medium are you using for your linework?

Wow...this is VERY awesome so far. It looks like Filmation in HD.

I can't wait to see what happens...and how you explain Teela going blonde with the pink/purple outfit.

I do have something to say to those who think Teela is being raped by Beast Man. You guys have dirty minds! You are jumping into a conclusion.
You really think I would go that far?

Once bitten, twice shy.
Guess I've seen too many fanfics where the creaters felt the need to add violence and maturity up to levels that didn't fit the brand anymore. Sorry for jumping to conclusion.

awesome work on this its so very cleanly done.

=)

the best a filmation-style he-man has ever looked! i especially like how you did the armor as it would look, not how the toy changed the dimensions of the torso.

evil-lyn is awesome!!

clamp champ, though? he and scareglow steal the show!

but done in this new style I've come up with.

Since we don't have any new MOTU stories out there other than the Bios at least will have something to have fun with.

I will post some scenes from the story for you to see without any text. We want to know if you like it and if we should continue this project.


Here they are:

This project needs to be continued for one reason and one reason alone... I need to know why Teela thinks doing the dance from the Thriller video will help her escape Trapjaw.

Here is one of my NA Filmation designs:

That's awesome Mike, can't wait to see how this all fits in!

It sounds like you've already decided to continue, but just in case:

PLEASE CONTINUE!!

This looks like it's going to be all kinds of awesome.

Oh wow Mike! This looks so good bro! Your skills are really flourishing! Very close to Filmation with a nice crisp update. Interesting that you use the Randor figure while using the Clawful and Whiplash from the toon.

It all looks great. Love that BA SKELETOR!!! PLus that pic with Teela in chains and Beastman walking toward her in the dark...very ominous!

But...no changing your avatar until Slushead shows up in MOTU The Lost Season.

SUPERB BOCK!! I really like the tight colors & this looks to be a great project... I'm looking forward to it...

I don't think I need to state again to PLEASE CONTINUE this prodject because it's awesome and I love your style! The only real nitpick I can come up with is NA style He-Man looks a bit odd with the Filmation body frame...the neck appears to be way too thick even for him. And if that NA power sowrd is like a light saber, why would he hold it by the blade ? Sorry to complain about such little things, but other then that, I really am looking forward to this !

I have something planned for that but it will be told in one of our Untold stories.
The first one will be posted on Friday. Hope you check it out.
And thank you buddy!!

Yeah, I totally understand buddy but I love Filmation a lot and I wouldn't do that to my beloved characters.
I like a little blood here and there but not to an extreme level.

Thank you so much. I am a big Clamp Champ and toy Randor fan which is why I wanted them to be part of this story.

Thanks WM, I am sure you'll like how we fit NA into this whole thing.

Oh man thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot. I am so glad you like it.
I used Filmation Clawful cause to be honest I love that design.

LOL You know what Slushy will show up

Hey not at all buddy you are in your right to do so and it's great to hear that stuff. If you want to improve at something you have to be open to suggestions.

As for the sword well it isn't a light saber, it is a regular blade that happens to glow when He-Man uses it's power.

Mike,

GREAT work friend! I love it. I cannot wait to see more either!

This is FANTASTIC!!! Can't wait for more!

Beyond what words can describe!

i realized my phrasing was horrible for when i was describing the battle armor on He-Man (not that it isn't awesome). not that i need to clarify, either, but here we go...

the figures (vintage and classics) both have the recessed area in the chest that has to be there for the battle armor toy reasons, but i like how you got rid of it for actual character designs.

Wow it looks amazing. Like what Gbagok did with the MYP serie, you are doing now with the Filmation serie, but for a modern time. I hope we will get many new stories. It's really like looking to animation cells. Magnificent.

Good luck with this, you've got my vote.

MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED.

You are amazing. Amazing.

SO EXCITED!!!

Love it!!!!

I base my own continuity on the filmation series, then build on what I wish happened next, so it'll be good to see how you do the same

Can't wait to see more!!

Thanks man, you did noticed that. Extra points for that.

Thank you so much much my friend. Gbagok and Iceman did a wonderful job with their stories and their work inspired me to do this project.

I love Filmation, that's how I got into MOTU in the 80s and I've always been a huge fan of that era. To me Filmation is the best. And that's why I wanted to use their style and bring the characters that they never introduced and put them to good use. Now we have new characters in MOTU, new eras and new back stories, so I combined all of them and adapted them into one single storyline. I hope you like the story.

I will be posting soon the Untold stories. They are mini comics that tell short fun stories of MOTU characters.

I was going to post the first one tomorrow but I won't be able to do it, something came up and I won't be home.

***So for Everyone the first Untold Story will now be posted on Monday 25th. ***

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! These are amazing! It does feel like we're watching Filmation in HD. lol

Can't wait to see the Preternians... Love that you're linking everything together. Keep up the good work!

This is great stuff. I'm looking forward to this first story.

Superb!

Shame there never will be a Direct to DVD MOTU movie like this.

My prayers had been answered
This is very Cool Mike

The Oracle should have foretold that this was coming

I can't wait to see more.

Cool stuff Mike!
