He-Man & Skeletor - concept art (Patreon)

Hey!

Here's somethin a little different than the normal - I wanted to give a go at doing my own take on He-Man & Skeletor - nothin too crazy, but I wanted to see if I could bring some different energy to them. I've actually done quite a bit with the Masters of the Universe characters, I designed the Mondo toys and I also did a portrait series, but I always stuck to the designs and silhouettes pretty closely.

Skeletor here is more of a witch doctor type look mixed with some native american design elements. He-Man is more of a high fantasy/future/medieval take - I like the idea of him using laser guns and swords so I wanted to make it maybe seem less weird when he's shooting the gun(but I also love him using the gun with his straight up barbarian look because of how silly it is). 

The approach I took with this is a continuation of how I'm moving through the Symphony of the Night piece's style but a bit simpler aimed at quick concept art work. 

I hope you like the style, it's been fun to play with so far - once I feel I have something nailed down I'll do a walkthrough of how I'm using this to build out ideas.

Thanks as always for your support!
