Iron anniversary ⚙️✨

[morallygrayautisticscientist]

…so i made this. I will not apologize. I made myself laugh so there ya go

[pennamesmith]

new brain who this

[pennamesmith]

If the new Masters of the Universe movie wants to be really funny, they should have an after-credits scene where He-Man looks directly at the camera and says “Hey kids! In today’s story we learned…”

[corey-bucks]

Posting this everywhere I can bc only one of my friends has seen She-ra AH

I NEED to talk about them...

[pennamesmith]

She’s experimenting

[nadiadlc]

I just wanted to say that your entrapdak drawings give me life❤️ I'm giggling kicking my feet everytime you post they're so cute!!!

hehe ty so much ! that really means a lot. <:)

just know every time i draw them i’m also kicking my feet while giggling whenever i draw them <3

[pennamesmith]

hee hee hoo hoo

The day after I saw Return of the Jedi for the first time, my dad pointed to one of these and said it was “Darth Vader’s ghost”

[skeletap]

stumbled upon some panini MoTU sticker cards and honestly obsessed with this kitty Panthor one

its like something Skeletor would have in his wallet to show people. Look at my cute pet you fools.

[pennamesmith]

That’s a kitten who’s never done anything wrong in his life

[pennamesmith]

Thoughts on the new He-Man trailer:

Based on the line “Most of you don’t remember me, but I know all of you” I predict that this version of Adam is going to be a sort of symbolic childhood MOTU fan, in that he has vague nostalgic memories of this colorful, over-the-top world and wants to return to it as a way of escaping 2020s Earth bullshit.

I also predict, though I hope I’m wrong about this part, that all the goofy eye-rolling monikers (He-Man, Skeletor, Fisto, etc) will turn out to be names Adam made up as a kid and not their “real” names because we need to take this seriously for some reason.

Evil-Lyn looks ready to steal the show yet again and I for one am here for it.

The special effects look cheap as hell, which I’m okay with (cutting corners has always been part of the He-Man ethos, like how Battle Cat is literally just the Big Jim tiger painted green); I’ll only be disappointed if it turns out they used AI.

That’s a sexy Trap Jaw.

Cringer as the MGM lion is a cute gag.

I swear to god Orko had better be in this.

Generally I like all of it except Jared Leto’s Skeletor voice. The absolute most generous interpretation I can think of is that he’s trying to sound like Frank Langella in the old movie, but it’s still just…underwhelming.

Ugh, I can’t believe I’m gonna sleep with him watch this movie.

I'm very attached to Entrapta because I got to do the most development work for her! I had no previs art to work with and her episode just happened to come through when I had more time in my schedule, so I started with a blank slate and had plenty of time to iterate. We started with a younger, more futuristic and girlypop kinda direction for her, where I was playing with incorporating rose gold (her 80's toy uses a lot of gold) and hard light/neon vinyl fabric. Almost all of these sketches are just me throwing spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. Eventually, we were honing in on a design (2nd to last image) when ND asked me to take it back to the drawing board with a similar color palette and personality but different influences, make her older and way more of a grease monkey. Audrey Ramirez from Atlantis was an outfit reference, and you can see it in the big baggy pants, and since I didn't wanna fully rip off her overalls look is how we got to the upper part of the overalls being hanging down in Entrapta's final design. I think there's some cute ideas in the old iterations, but I love and appreciate the less femme direction we went with and where she ended up. She's my fav forever <3
