Description Hi everyone!
So, instead of annoying you with tons of reuploads, I decided to *update* my Masters of the Universe: Tribal Clash cards for real, post the current versions - including all the improvements to the artworks, and the redesigned layout - and then continue on, following this direction.

You can follow me and this project on Twitter:  twitter.com/MotUTC

For those seeing all this for the first time, a brief sum up from my original post:

I've spent my entire childhood playing MotU with my brother and friends, and one of the brightest memories I still keep about them are those fantastic mini-comics illustrated by Alfredo Alcala: savage He-Man, the brutal villains, the barbarian feel... Beyond awesome for kid-me, and still incredibly inspiring to these days. 
I'm pretty sure even the guys at Mattel - at the very beginning - didn't have a clear picture of how to develop the series, and we all know how Filmation changed it later on, so those early suggestions really got stuck in my mind. 
I started from there, and tried to imagine this alternate universe where heroes and evil forces act as clans and fight against each other for anything else than survival or supremacy.

About He-Man... I took obvious inspiration from He-Man’s iconic "savage" look, as seen in the very first vintage mini-comic illustrated by Alfredo Alcala. Building upon my original sketch, I brought back the classic battle axe, and changed the outfit and colors slightly, in order to make him more recognizably "He-Man". I also wanted the final silhouette to reflect his imperfect nature - of a barbarian champion, rather than a paladin of justice - without looking goofy or too different for the sake of it. Due to my deliberate decision to remove magical arts from Tribal Clash Eternia, Adam and He-Man now coexist as two separate characters.

Peace
G

Trump-Man, Defender of Eternia.  Evil Adam Schiff must be defeated.  He has those evil eyes.
