He-Man secret files #4: Greetings from Trolla!
With some spare time in my hands, getting the blog updated seemed the right thing to do.He-Fan are really appreciating the never revelead designs I'm posting here, so I feel so bad to not give them more and more often.
So here I am, hopefully I will post something new once a week, for the next month (but no promises!).
Those two designs had been created specifically for
their brief cameo in MVCreations' Masters OF the Universe Vol. 3 #8, the last one on which I also plenned the plot, and beautifully illustrated by Fabio Laguna.
As usual the challenge was to redesign two classic characters, staying true to their orivial appearances and personality, but making them fit in the new line (so basically: what would Eric Tredaway do with them?).
I was pretty satisfied with the results: Dree-Elle has that exotic flavor to her while our beloved uncle Montork has become more like trollan version of Gandalf, which to me it's really fitting :-D
I hope you enjoy them!
If you're nice, I may start posting the Council of Wisdom members with the next update... ;-)

He-Man secret files #3: Illumina!
Finally!
The original concept for the mysterious new characters supposed to appear in the MVCreations MOTU comics, Illumina!
These are my original sketches for her and her panther, plus the turnaround I did as reference for a custom bust.

From sketch to colors #1
Just something to keep you guys interested in this "updated-once-a-year" blog... This a piece I did for Wizard magazine, and it appearead even before first issue of the comic by MVCreations was published.
Mattel really liked the piece but it was printed really small on the magazine.
I thought it was nice to give it some justice posting a step by step progress, from the montage of sketches to the pencils, the final inks and the awesome colors by Val Staples!
Of course, keep in mind this is an early piece, so there are lots of bad things in my anatomy and style, but I thought it was fun piece to share.
I hope you enjoy it!

He-Man secret files #2: Might Bite!
I had to update this damn things!I'm sure no one is looking at this page anymore, so I need to bump it with somethign unexpected!
I love designing new MOTU characters...
I designed many for the MOTU comic book but never get chance to draw them on sequential pages.
And since chances of them being ever produced in toy or staction form are next to zero and don't think it hurts to share a few of them with the fan.
I did this a few days ago just for fun and being Val much better then me with MOTU names, named this ferociuos Horde commander: Might Bite!
