Description
There's not much to say here. I pretty much drew exactly what my original conception for this image was -- from Metlar floating, seething in frustration in Magnocore's grip -- to Magnocore being depicted more as melting lava-men... to the Earth Corps guys coming in from the edge of the image.Metlar was the most difficult aspect, because his original design is basically terrible. I tried to improve him and made his ears into great big horns.
Dunno how well it worked.

Incredible. I love the way you designed Metlar. They should have hired you to do the Inhumanoid character designs.

Robin hit right on the head.
What I liked was how Flint Dille always tried to tie-in some "evidence" in this series, and I totally bought that Metlar was what early humans percieved as the "devil" with Hell at the Earth's core.
Very cool design!

Cool! I like the improved design for Metlar.
Magnacor I'm not so sure about, just because the science geek in me remembers that you can't have liquid magnets (the molecules all need to be lined up one way.) Though I wasn't wild about how he looked in the show either. Maybe something crystalline?

I honestly did not know that. I think I'd do Magnacor differently if I did them again. One is meant to be cold, the other hot. In the boxart one is depicted as rock while the other is on fire. I think maybe I'd do something like that.
I dunno how that would work with the whole 'no liquid magnets' thing, but it would work better with their initial concept.

It wouldn't. Heat screws up magnets the same way. That's why I didn't like the canon version any better.

Very nice--he looks positively demonic now, and less like a big fat kitty.
