Continuing along with my slow moving naturist Thundercats project, I've got the last of the core mutants finished up! For now. I'm still not happy with Slithes' head (how many "s" in his name to actually use, as well, lol ) so I might revisit that part of him at some point. I just don't have a morph to simply make his head wider in DAZ.

Anyroad, I've taken a lot of liberties with this group!I've tried to keep their colors (and color layouts) like the 80s original for the most part, just like with my Thundercats. But I've certainly changed some other things up a bit.

Slithe will be quite tall should he actually stretch his legs up. They're folded quite a bit, kinda like a froog. I gave him a long rifle with a bayonet, but also a heavy blaster of some sort in a holster on his belt. Building him was a lot quicker than most of the characters I've done for this project, mainly because I didn't have to sculpt any HAIR in 3D!

Monkian is now a lady, and I've made an alternate version of her hair with no helmet attached, so I'll have that option should the scene call for it. Her shield doubles as a weapon just like in the original cartoon, there are two different ammo drums that can unfold from it when in use, but each one has multiple types of shells or charges stored within. Plus it can deploy a spike (as seen here) for close combat slashing and stabbing.

Jackalman is also now a lady... well, mostly. Jackalma'am, perhaps, to steal a naming convention from the recent He-Man cartoons' Ram Ma'am? Yes, I think so. So Jackalma'am is a jackal, which is a wild dog - sort of like how hyenas are also a type of wild dog. So I'm stealing a bit from Hyenas where female hyenas have an organ that is kinda like an organ that is generally associated with the males of many species. Her axe has a net launcher built into the center of it's shaft, and the metal rings on the side of her belt are for attaching leads for dragging captives around, as Jackalma'am is a bit of a slaver.

Vultureman is the most recent one that I put together, I copied the design from a weapon that he used in the 80s cartoon, though it's going to be more of a space-uzi as opposed to the special effect it had back in the 80s. I decided against a bit fluffy cloak/mass of hair thingy for his shoulders (for the time being, at least). I didn't have any good morphs for bird heads so I made my own "bird mask" to use for his head in Hexagon 2.5, and then I played around with the weight mapping so that the beak opens when I open the figures' mouth using the DAZ figure pose controls.

So at this point then, I've made my own versions of Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykit, Wilykat, the Thundertank, a robot horse/cat thing to serve as another vehicle for the Thundercats, Willa, Nayda, Slithe, Monkian, Jackalman, and Vultureman. I wonder who I should build next... Snarf? Mumm-Ra?
