Description
I always thought that She-ra and the rest of the rebels never quite fit in with the rest of the MOTU in terms of design, so I gave her a furry loincloth and such so she'd fit a little better. Also, I think this is the best color job I've posted thus far. Discuss.Related content

Love this look for She-Ra, great stuff.
The colouring is top notch as well!

Love your interpretation of the Sword of Protection and the new fur on She-Ra's shoulders.

I'm not even that familiar with MOTU, but this is a nice piece! Awesome job on the materials and the overall style. Can't wait till I can color like this!

Thanks! I really think I'm starting to hit a nice stride with my coloring, so I definitely appreciate the kind words

I like the costume and the coloring - the cape and sword are especially nice. She looks a bit grumpy for She-Ra. Although, I suppose she might have just seen her cleaning bill for all that white fur.

Ha! That's hilarious! Yeah, I wanted to make her look like she was spoiling for a fight. After all, she's carrying a huge freaking sword. I figure this She-ra might have cleaved a villain or two

Gorgeous job on the coloring, Gavin! I really dig the texture and glowing effect in the background too. Cool. : )

Thanks! I've been working a lot on incorporating those textures and effects and such. It's good to know it's paying off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hell yes. If I may, how did you come up with that texture? Was it taken from a photo or some kind of photoshop brush?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, it's just a photo of some parchment paper I got from a stock site. I applied a radial blur to the outside for the speed lines, and touched it up in the middle with the airbrush tool to add a little glow to it.

Ah. Thank for letting me know. : )

I like the addition of the fur. You're right, it does bring her more into par with the rest of the MOTU. Or, y'know, you could just redesign He-Man wearing a speedo.

He would look super cute in a little white mini skirt, now that you mention it

Oh, and yes that is the best color-job you've done thus far.

Thanks! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this coloring nonsense

Thank you very much, Mr. Artguy!

I meant to add - if she looks like this, then Swiftwind would be a ferocious war-horse with really vicious hooves and blood on his horn.

Wow, that would be the hardest challenge ever: making a horse with pink armor look tough. I might have to give it a shot

That would be beyond awesome if you did

This is the baddest bad-ass She-Ra ever depicted.
