Awesome redesign of He-Man (pics)

Skelator looks like he's ready to join the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy group.

He oughta go word for Todd McFarlane designing a new He Man line of toys.

why does skeletor look like a woman in that top one

why is skeletors' stance so gay?

Nice work - looks to me like the concept art for an upcoming RPG.

The new He-Man looks like a weak heroin addict and the new Skeletor looks like a homo

Has anyone else seen the new Heman toys ..
total shit .

they look NOTHING like the original .

NEWS FLASH:

He Man Was GAY

Did you watch I love the 80's on VH1??

This is supposed to be a more 'mature' version of He-Man....here are some details about the characters:

"My He-Man universe is darker and far more deadly. It's a modern take on it, with a lot of violence and evil going on... Skeletor has devastated Eternia, killed off the royal family and demasked He-Man in public. Prince Adam is no more. The heroes are forced to flee to Grayskull and hide in there. The whole world is under siege by Skeletors armies..."

He-man, the Fallen
Of all heroes He-man needed a serious face-lifting. Back in the 80's he might have been cool, but his design lacked everything that is cool today. I chose to make him more of an anti-hero, a broken king or a better brigand. I still went with his barbaric heritage but chose to give him a more Kurt Cobain like haircut, underlining his fate. I still wanted him to be readable as He-Man, so my changes on the design were minimal.

Skeletor, Lord of Darkness
Well, we all loved Skeletor I guess. I did. He was my chilidish personification of everything that was evil and cool. But I always felt that he was too ripped and too bodybuilder like to be really impressive. I chose to make him a lot darker then his previous designs were. A cruel fag, that eats your heart from afar. The boogeyman of Eternia. The Marilyn Manson of Snake Mountain. I kicked some of his cheesy stuff like his sword and reduced his gear to his havok-staff, which was always cooler anyhow.

Tri-Klops, the Seer
I loved Tri-Klops. But I never felt his warrior image fitted him well. The three eyes alone granted him enough mysticism already. Instead of having him shoot Ice-beams with his eyes, they now function as a window into the past, the present and the future. He is now Skeletor's seer, prophet and advisor. An Enigma among the forces of evil and much less of that stupid warrior he was in the 80's

Man-at-Arms, the last Soldier
Oh dude, he was the coolest. Even back in the 80's this guy ruled above all. His design is timeless, and I bet people will still think he's cool even when He-man is already forgotten. My changes have been minimal. Just a few things here and there, to add to the already beautiful corpus.You can really imagine him to be the last soldier. A man from the past. Someone who knows the secrets of weapons and science.

Merman, King of the Sea
Merman rocked! But one needed to get rid of his fisheyes and clumsy appearance. I chose to make him look more alien and give him more armor and a king-like posture. He always was arrogant and want's to be the ruler of Eternia by himself, not a slave under Skeletor. Thus he is a double-edged sword, betraying his master where he can and pursuing his own plans for domination.

Evil-Lyn, the Soulless
Evil-Lyn wanted Power from Skeletor and offered everything to her lord, even her soul. Skeletor raped her into pieces and sucked her soul out, sewing her lifeless body together afterwards and breathing foul life back into her. She is now his vessel but commands a lot of the greater powers that Skeletor bestowed upon her for offering her soul to him.

Buzz-Off, Lord of Wasps
Oh, c'mon guys? What? A humaniod Wasp-Warrior? As if wasps weren't alien enough, wtf would a 7 feet humanoid wasp fucking look like? Well, I went completly over the top with Buzz-Off. I wanted him to have a totally alien anatomy and design, so I took a long look into Andrew's creature designs and went on from there. I hope he appears in a new fashion now, something better then his stupid 80's version.

Beast-Man, Master of Creatures
Never liked Beast-Man. He was a dull character. I wanted to give him a spin in his redesign, giving him more shamanistic origins and the power to control the ghosts of his ancestors in an animistic fashion as well as the creatures of the field. He is also Whiplash's domitor, the only one who can control the rampaging monster at least mentally.

Fisto, the Mercenary
Gosh, Fisto was gay! Remember that shitty haircut and the purple armor? Yuck! Damn, I had to give him more depth somehow. I chose to make his origins more nordic and made him a mercenary and bounty hunter. He was out to kill the Whiplash, which was running amok in a nearby town. But Fisto failed. The monster bit his hands off and left the Hunter bleeding to death. Fisto was found on time by Man-at-Arms, who gave him aid and took him back to Eternia. Later he built a pair of mechanical Gloves for Fisto which he can use for the most rudimentary tasks. Like punching the shit out of his enemies. The grumpy Fisto joined the Legion of He-Man only because of his search for revenge. And to kill the Whiplash.

Trap-Jaw, the Warmachine
Man Trap-Jaw was the killershit. I loved everything about him, except for the fact that I always felt he was not dull enough. He reminded me of stories like Frankenstein always, or even more of a wicked World War 1 experiment gone wrong. In my version, I chose to make him a good guy who was snatched by Skeletors forces and tortured to death. Afterwards Skeletor and his henchmen reinvigorated him with arcane magic and science, making him a mindless Warmachine with no memories of his past. Brainwashed and powerful, he now leads Skeletors forces and smashes foes wherever his master sends him. Only in his dreams, he remembers the time when he was alive and somebody else

Man-E-Faces
What can I say? I never liked that dude. I thought about his headgear and came to the conclusion that in my version it should be a device that keeps the mental functions of the former Man-E-Faces alive and saved inside the harddrive of this headgear. In fact Man-E-Faces is only the device. The body and heads are rotting corpses, animated by the machine. The headgear fuels itself by sucking the life out of it's hostbody and deleting it when it is dead. The device seeks out new victims everytime the hostbody is sucked out. Thus Man-E-Faces can survive and stay intact.

Clawful, the Vivisectionist
Clawful loves nothing more then slicing the flesh from his enemies, makine cloth out of their skins or tapestries for Snake Mountain. He is wicked and crazy, not even Merman, his former master feels well being near his loyal follower Clawful. But Clawful is needed. He works as a Torturer and squeezes information out of everyone with his sharp claws.

Whiplash, primal Predator
I made Whiplash an uncontrolable beast, cunning and animalistic, with an intelligence and anatomy perfectly suited to hunt and kill. The Whiplash is mindless when under Beast-Man's control, but when it is unleashed, it is unstopable

Zodak, the Time Traveller
If he wasnt the coolest character I dunno!

Orko
Former Magician of King Randor who was killed by Skeletor and whose soul was banished to the Orkus, the place of Nowhere. With efforts of his will the magician struggled to break free from his vault and returned to Eternia as a Wraith. A ghost of vengeance. He named himself Orko, has an invisible body and can only be seen while wearing his cape and hat. Old relics of his former life

Teela
Teela lost her faith in He-Man after he was demasked by Skeletor in public. She saw it as a treachery from Prince Adam never to tell her about his life as He-Man. Their friendship ended. She is only fighting in He-Man's Legion because of her father Man-at-Arms.

Stratos
I would have loved to give him a shot but somply didn't have time in the end. I'm sorry to dissapoint you, I know you whoud have loved to see him in action.

dude has got mad skill

You forgot to add "yo". ;)

haha you're right man lol

There is an upcoming He-Man live action movie coming out.....hopefully will not be like the Dolph Lundgren one.

The Rock and Triple H are rumored for the He-Man role (I'd say HHH fits the part a lot better looks-wise).

I see the above as maybe concepts for a 'mature' comic book series

skeletor looks gay

nice drawing style but he ruined the characters

Did you read the character descriptions above? I think they are great and could have a great story behind them.

Most he-man fans of the 80s are now 25-35 yrs old, so they should bring it back darker and more mature and I think this guy is definately on the right track

awesome sketching! nice drawing!

The guy is clearly a good artist, but man, Skeletor looks like a flat chested crackwhore. He-Man just doesn't look right. The rest of the characters look fucking awesome.

And am the only one who got ideas of a fisting website involving a novelty sized fist-glove when i saw Fisto? Yes? Oh.

If you read the character descriptions above, the images fit perfectly....

I guess you have to think of it as a post-apocalyptic Eternia or something

lol you nailed it

awesome work but why does Skeletor look gay?

nice work though, real talent

nice drawings

lol... it's true

you know what ..
the pics are nice and all .
BUT I WAS TRYING TO READ ONE FUCKING LINE FOREVER

cause each time I got half way through a new pic loaded .

post one or two .. then a link
Jesus !

get off dialup and you wont have that problem anymore

Lots of GFYers are lazy and prefer seeing it right away instead of following a link.....

BTW you can hold your mouse on the right-hand scrollbar so it doesn't move while you read

That is some talent right there. Skelator looks gay for sure limp wrist and everything...

Man - I absolutely love it. This is exactly what this whole thing needs.

A darker, more mature twist to something like this; rival to the old conan books, is precisely what will breathe new life into the story.

I would read the books, I would see the movie.

And yeah, Skeletor does look queer, it bothered me at first too, but after I read the description it's entirely true. Skeletor should be more a deciever, a user and a "boogeyman".

Kids today need more depth to their characters, they're smarter, you see it with every generation. This is why the reinvigoration of He-Man failed. They make all the characters way too strong and then there's nothing interesting about the story.

Man I am in love with this story. If McFarlane or Mattel were smart, they'd buy up this kid's idea, it's great and with a little work could be VERY marketable.

Looks awesome, the guy is amazing!

Not bad!

I think hope for this to go somewhere lies with the Ninja Turtles. They are supposed to be making a darker, more violent Turtles movie based on the first comic book series (black & white, full of violence). I guess if that goes over well He-Man could have a shot

Wow ! this guy have some killer design skillz ! Awesome !

i think they are great,

How come He-Man is acting all emo in the first drawing? Otherwise, great fucking work.

Well his family was killed, Teela hates him, his identity was revealed, Skeletor is ruling the planet.....could be some reasons why he looks like that heh

Read the character descrips and it will make sense.

So Evil Lyn goes around in with her bare pussy showing all day?

Great artwork...This guys has amazing talent.

The drawings were cool and the backstory he added to each make them even cooler. I was a fan of Ha-Man as a kid like everyone else my age. Thanks for posting is Varius.

those are some nice sketches... i was a he-man fan too.... thnx for sharing

man that is all really good

i was a he-man fan too
i remember when i dropped my he-man toy down a sewer grate when i was 4

fuck i was pissed
im still pissed about it
greyskull bitch

I loved He-man as a kid too. Had the Castle GraySkull Playset with that weird voice distorting wire mic.

I'd love to see an idea like this applied to Thundercats also.

Actually they have already started on Thundercats....

There is a comic book mini-series out called Thundercats: The Return which is five years in the future from when Thundercats ended...most of the 'Cats are slaves to the mutants and Lion-O isn't a very happy camper (and is sadistically violent). The twins are also older and the chick is pretty damn sexual
