MotU - Tribal Clash: Battle Armor He-Man

Description

Hi everyone!
Keeping up my personal MotU alternate universe... I'm still trying to expand a bit more in detail (even if still at a rough-sketch level) the figures I've done here:

fav.me/d6cvtf7

For who may see this for the first time, a brief sum up from my original post:

I've spent my entire childhood playing MotU with my brother and friends, and one of the brightest memories I still keep about them are those fantastic mini-comics illustrated by Alfredo Alcala: savage He-Man, the brutal villains, the barbarian feel... Beyond awesome for kid-me, and still incredibly inspiring to these days. 
I'm pretty sure even the guys at Mattel - at the very beginning - didn't have a clear picture of how to develop the series, and we all know how Filmation changed it later on, so those early suggestions really got stuck in my mind. 
I started from there, and tried to imagine this alternate universe where heroes and evil forces act as clans and fight against each other for anything else than survival or supremacy.

About Battle Armor He-Man... Similarly to Battleground Teela, in my attempt at replicating the creative process behind vintage and Classics MotU figures - as in, to recycle a certain number of "shared" parts and mix them up with brand new details and exclusive accessories - I wanted to redesign Tribal Clash Battle Armor He-Man without having to draw him from scratch. So, once again, I reused the lines of my original He-Man artwork, added his distinctive gear to it, and finally swapped the Power Sword with the iconic Battle Axe.

For reference, I used the original MotU figure: www.hemanworld.com/wp-content/…

Hope you enjoy! :peace:
