BIRTHDAY POST ~CLASSIC TEELA!!!~

Today's my BIRTHDAY!!! YAY!!!
I thought I would help celebrate with the .Org community by creating some new art for today & making this Art Blog PUBLIC!

WELCOME!!! ^_^

A little known fact is it's not only my birthday but also HE-MAN'S birthday! The Filmation animated show started on Sept. 5th and it is this airdate that is now credited with He-Man's birthday!

And speaking of birthday's this image of classic TEELA started off in her birthday-suit! I drew it earlier this year but never put her leotard on, so she just stayed naked untill today!! I decided to finally finish this image the way I intended... with her atop Castle Grayskull's tower at sunset looking back at us the viewer for a private moment...
This also celebrated my 500th POST at He-Man.org!

500th POST CLASSIC TEELA B-DAY ART:


new updated sky 9.21.06

SD MOTU: BUZZ-OFF + SY-KLONE + MOSS-MAN

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

The SD MOTU thread proved to be very popular with the fans! Popular enough for me to continue on with doing more than the original 20 I started with.
I promised the fan-base that I would work on more SD characters inbetween my other projects & that's what I intend on doing!

What was funny is I could tell fans were getting anxious after a couple month delay, anxious enough that my friend "Thatman" started a thread asking when there would be MORE!!! LOL!

SO...Here's the 3 LASTEST characters!
SERIES 2 MOTU: batch 1
BUZZ-OFF! SY-KLONE! & MOSS-MAN (Mattel Flocked version)!!!

KING OF CASTLE GRAYSKULL (~mini-comic tribute~)

On 7.01.06 I decided to tribute one of the amazing covers from the classic MOTU mini-comics in the updated 200X style.
The classic mini-comics helped to define MOTU, and I thought it would be a nice way to pay homage to the MOTU artists I grew up on!
I did a 200X version of one of my faveorite covers "King Of Castle Grayskull" by the talented Alfredo P. Alcala!
I set this up as an art challenge for other MOTU artists to try their hand at a cover tribute... and we ended up with some AMAZING WORK!!! Everyone who participated gave it 100% and I was so happy with the results in the end...maybe I'll do it again someday! ^_- There's a lot of great covers still waiting to be reinvisioned!
Here's KING OF CASTLE GRAYSKULL (one of the original 4 comic covers)!!!


And I did a "CLASSIC Colored Version" for "Grayskull Chronicles!"



Here's a close-up of TEELA from this piece...
