Description
The most powerful man in the universe! I really dig the weird proportions on the old MotU figures and tried to capture some of that here. I really like the way it came out and I'm happy to say I did this without looking at any reference (although, I should have since that sword could have come out a bit better if I had).Folks who know me know I'm really into the Masters of the Universe so it was only a matter of time before I included this guy into this set of drawings. Skeletor is coming soon.

Great work, you really captured the old school comic book mood very well.
Go He-Man!

That sounds awesome! Who would win? Last time I met Erik (I think back in 2004) I had him do a He-Man sketch for me. I would love to see him do a MotU story. His style is just perfect for those characters.

I'd like to just see them about to clash, with the victor to be decided. Just an awesome splash basically, very dynamic. I'd like to se Dragon as Kurr with the codpiece just so it's not exactly 2 good guys going up against each other.
Shoot dude, you draw Larseny enough I'd get a MOTU book with you on art duties!
I never want to bother Erik for sketches at Cons, but I always do. I usually ask for one of his own characters because that means more to me. It would be interesting to see his art on MOTU for sure!

See, I like to have guys do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. I can always see him drawing Dragon. I hate to bug Erik too, but his sketches are free and take about 30 seconds. I'll stop pestering him when he stops offering them at shows.
What about a layout like Dragon vs. He-Man like that old DC Comics Presents when he fought Superman? Maybe the Horde in place of Skeletor. [link]
Heck--I just imagined it and I guess I never thought about how similar the MotU and SD logos are. Neat!

Oh yeah, I've definitely got that comic in my collection!
I prefer Skeletor over Hordak any day honestly.
Of course, don't need any baddies really if Dragon is Kurr.
How's about various Masters and Larsen Freaks scattered about injured or dead? Good guys and bad guys.
Yeah I never really noticed the similarity between the logos either. How about that?!

Oops--I said "The Horde" but I meant Horde, the Wicked Worm guy. Reading it again, it looks like I was talking about Hordak. Heh.
