Ted Mayer Tomarts Concept Witch for MOTUC!

I suppose it was inevitable that I would post this sooner or later.

Remember Tomarts #89 had a couple of Ted Mayer illustrations for a concept witch in the vintage MOTU (see my avatar)? Methinks one of the versions of her would be cool in MOTUC!

Yeah I know we have Evil-Lyn, but maybe this could be one of her old "coven" members!

Imagine a MOTU 'Legion of Horror' with the concept witch, the Horde mummy, Scare Glow and zombie Megator?! You know you want it.

I've never seen that picture before. Is it located on the .org?

I've always felt the Evil Horde were all rather Universal Monsters-ish... along with Scareglow, it'd be good to get this concept witch in there (along with the concept Horde Mummy character) just to help round out the overall Halloweeny vibe of the evil side of MOTUC...

I would love another witch in the line! A green one would be awesome too. I know they would make her very interesting and an enjoyable addition.

i really like, the "legion of horror" idea!
i'd add the so called "hordor" in that number: he's very creepy.

if you don't mind, here is fellow orger danbrenus' take on the green witch (he called her sultress):

So, Penny...is this your Blonde Bikini Teela? Your Green Goddess? Your Count Marzo? Your Mosquitor?

I thought that's who that was in your avatar, Penny. Haven't seen that concept art in awhile.

Sure, I'd love to have her among the monstrous ranks of MOTUC.

Sorry, I don't think there is room or fan desire for concept characters. They are all dumb.

(j/k)

I'd love her, Penny, and I agree about the monster lineup making her appropriate. I don't know about the dunce hat though. It seems a bit too cliche even for this line. I think if she had that, then she absolutely must come with a flowing cape.

Could her green skin have been the motivation for making Evil-Lyn yellow or did the sketch come after Lyn?

I definitely want this character, as long as they make her detailed and adapted to MOTUC.

Would she have to be evil??

I don't like her being part of the Horde. Shadow Weaver is already enough witch for the Horde... Unless this girl is like an assistant.

She could work as one of the Fighting Foe Men.

Charlie Brown's sketch, minus the cliche hat, would make me stand up and cheer!

Legion of Horror FTW!

That is SO COOL!! I like how he merged both versions of the design and kept the sci-fi "vroom broom." It's also great that he called her Sultress since that was one of the original conceptual names for Evil-Lyn in the vintage MOTU line.

Yep! Let the campaign for the green concept witch begin!

It's unclear. Tomarts said she may have led to Evil-Lyn, but I've also heard it said she might have come afterward.

I still think that they only made Evil-Lyn yellow so parents wouldn't say, "You already have Teela!!"

not mine, bro!

that's by danbrenus.


ps
...ehm, i actually like the hat...

Penny, you need to fiercely campaign for the Witch concept character. The next step is to make your rounds on Facebook, Mattycollector and FANtastic forums, making polls and asking questions.

I am on my way to FB now!!! It must happen!

As for the hat, there are two versions of the concept. One has it and one doesn't. Of course, I love it, but they could make it removable to give us more options.

I'll join. Gimme that link!

Keep bumping your thread with discussion and have the.org artists make artwork to host in your thread.

Sorry, PENNY, but no thanx. Lame!!!



I kid, I kid!!

That's actually a really cool design, and I think a character like that would fit in very well. So what if EVIL LYN already exists? On a world like Eternia, there's bound to be thousands of witches, warlocks, magicians, warriors, beasts, and everything in between!

I would buy her, easy. Would it be too much of a cliche for her to have a black cat? It could be a wicked, funky, scary looking Eternian cat.

The hat would need to go (and making it removable wouldn't work - there'd be a ring in her hair for it to sit in, or it'd be comically oversized).

sign me up, love the look

Giving her a second head might be better than having a removable hat. She absolutely has to keep it though, it's essential to maintain her witchy look.

Sure it's clichéd, but it doesn't look any sillier than Madame Razz's pinwheel hat.

That would be so cool! Would you dress up as her if they did for a con? If so that would be even more cool!

I think it would be cool if she was a human member of the snakemen tainted and slightly transformed by their venom

Since shadow weaver had green skin, maybe this could be her before some spell went wrong, burning her horribly. Hence y she covers all her body in a red cloak
