Thundercats is coming back!
Warner Brothers recently announced the exciting news that one of my childhood favorites, Thunder Cats, is being brought back next year. I remember this being one of the most influential cartoon to me as a kid. Funny thing is, I was blown away by how ambiguous the characters were when I saw a clip of Thunder Cats for the first time again since i was 3 or 4 on youtube. I coulda swore that they were bad ass to me back then!
As a practice run to making tutorial videos. I recorded the process of me redesigning Lion-O, the main character from the cartoon. Here's the image, I should be able to post the process video up once I get a chance to organize and edit it.
The original Lion-O (yay for speedos!):
My version:


This fellow ThunderCats fan says: "Well done!"
Any chance of seeing a group picture?
Really nice design! Looking forward to seeing the video for sure :)

ahaha I have to agree, I remember watching some of my childhood cartoon shows back then, remembering they used to look so bad-ass. But when you look now, I'm sure we're all thinking, "wtf was I thinking"
Great work as always Alex, I really enjoy your posts.
Keep it up my friend.
Cool man. Loved the cartoon...
Man, I'm glad I found your blog! I Saw info about you in ImagineFX magazine! I'm a writer/comic digital artist, and you greatly encourage me with the stuff you do! I hope one day I can post cool stuff like this in my own blog, here at Blogger!
I don't know how to follow your current blog, so I'll just add it to my web favorites :) And I'll check out your new site as well.
Keep up the good work Alex!
