Description
WB Animation Character Design, GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD KNIGHTS, "Mogo Doesn't Socialize," Bolphunga, Kloba Vud. Pencil, Digital Color.This is the size relationship I originally had in mind for these two characters. I felt that Bolphunga's challengers should have been getting progressively bigger, making his victories increasingly impressive. This would also have been of interest considering what was to come. But, because of certain problems in framing and composition, it was decided to make the combatants more proportionate, and thus more manageable for animation.

Gorgeous work! I think Bolphunga looks good in blue, makes for good contrast between him & Kloba, & I agree the battle between them would have been more epic if the size difference between them had been greater.
BTW, was Kloba Vud a baddie like Bolphunga? ya know, a barbarian brute fighting to make a name for himself? Or did he fight Bolphunga in the hopes of ending his reign of terror personally in more heroic fashion? The movie never really established why Vud wanted to throw down with Bol (though he certainly had the last laugh by sending Bol to face Mogo XD).

Thanks!
There's no further official information regarding Kloba Vud. He was just a minor character in the story, after all, with no background supplied by the author. However, in designing this version of the character, I couldn't help imagining my own background for Vud, as described on his page here:

Kloba Vud is harsh! How can you not like a molten muscular space toad with four bulging arms that would make Goro think twice.
I hope they make an action figure of that.

Just finished watching Emerald Knights and all the character designs were awesome. Bolphunga and the Mogo story were dope.

Kloba's final size isn't that different than this.. I'd say he's a head size shorter.
Again cool stuff Jerome!

Definitely would've liked to have seen that battle instead. That said, I think you have me sold on buying the movie now, if only to see what it is you're babbling about.
