MU53 DREE ELLE'S RETURN

"Dree Elle's Return" is an episode that pay a great homage to Clawful, even in the minor scene this character got some really nice expression.
Take a look to this one, it's just a moment during the episode ;^)
and by looking at the layout we discover that the artist even gives Clawful some kind of tongue that unfortunatly is removed in the final drawing.

MU64 THE REMEDY

Update for mu64 sc193!
Now, let's talk about the drawings..in this scene the animator used the main drawing and photocopied it whit the legs modified to simulate the movments (and of cours by shrink the drawing to simulate the zooming effect). so, at this point the animator cutted the photocopied part and sticked it (with adesive scotch) onto the main sheet used by filmation..but by looking under the photocopied part I discovered something interesting! a sketch drawn with blue pencil ( I think artists at filmation usually used blue pencil for their sketch) I'm always happy when I found this kind of sketches!!

MU64 THE REMEDY

Introduced with the previous entry, this is a nice cell of Takdryl from sc211. There is 'new' wrote on the drawing beceasue -I think- this is a brand new drawing, and not a blackstar reused and corrected one.

WHO DREW THIS? #1

I've been lucky enough to get a pretty big lot of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" layout drawings..I think they are all beautiful and fashinating and I'd like to discover at least some names of the artists who drew them and I need YOUR help because I have no knowledge in this branch.
I hope some of the original artists someday will find my blog and decide recognize their works!
I'm going to start with the layouts I found in the folder of scene 211 showin He-Man freeing the Tactryl from Krivon's web. If you look carefully you can see that the reins on Tactryl have been deleted and this make me think that the artist worked on the Warlock model from Blackstar series!

MU53 DREE ELLE'S RETURN

The scene with Orko taking back the horn of evil in the episode is really fast and probably I would not have noticed the beauty of these images if I had not had its cells.
Another interesting and hard thing to notice -because of the color on the face of Orko- is his expression of determination, you have to look at the drawings to notice it ;^)

ps: I really like the sound effect used when Orko grab the horn LoL
