Description Did this Dolph Lundgren He-Man from the 1987 live action movie for this month's 80s movie hero theme over at Planet-Pulp .

This is not an easy costume to draw. In fact, I faked my way through most of it. I'm not all that great at getting likenesses down, but I'm pretty pleased with how his He-Mullet turned out at least.

Dolph Lungren is the MAN, except in this movie and numerous others.

Heh. Yeah, I think he's okay but he wasn't a very good He-Man.

Thanks a lot. This movie has a bad reputation (probably because it's terrible) but the costume and set designs are still some of my favorites.

the problem is the costume isnt the classic and the movie failed on so many levels you did a good job on what they gave you to work with

markwelser In reply to CBFox [2011-06-30 16:19:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I always liked the costume designs in the movie. I think if the story represented the people and places we were familiar with in the cartoons a bit more, it would have been fine. Bringing it to Earth and adding all these new characters when there was already a great roster to begin with were bad moves. I never liked He-Man using guns, either. Yuck.

yeah you should see the nostalgia critics review of it and yeah him with a gun is dumb but at least he didnt talk like he did on the show

Great job on the cape detail! You perfectly captured the hair, armor, sword, and muscle structure. Job very well done!

Thanks! When I started this, I figured I'd just do a quick drawing but then all those costume details slowed me down a bit. Oh well. So glad you dig it!

Yeah--I looked at a lot of photos and it all just looked like a mess so...I just drew a mess. Heh. Most of the major details are all there, but all that tiny stuff? No thanks.

Wow, this is one of the best illustrations for He-Man I've seen and I've seen A LOT! I can't believe Dolph has been overlooked until now.

Nice job Mark!

Thanks! Ever since this movie came out, most of my He-Man drawings as a kid had him wearing the cape. I always thought it was a nice touch. I still think this is a mighty cool costume design, but there's just a whole bunch of other stuff I didn't like about that movie. I still enjoy the heck out of it, though!

Thanks a lot! I had the movie theme in my head the entire time I drew it. If I'd spent more than 2 minutes looking, I probably would have been able to find the CD. Would have been a lot easier than looking the songs up on YouTube, probably. Oh well.

Thanks! That's pretty much the main focus of this piece anyway. If I'd messed that up--forget it.
