Every two weeks, the art forum<\/a> at He-Man.org<\/a> holds an character re-design challenge. The subject is almost always an obscure character so as to inspire a bit more creativity. This particular sketch of mine is the first piece of art that I posted in the forums (this was just a few weeks ago, in mid-December). You can see my post here<\/a>. The whole thread is here<\/a>, and the voting thread (where members of the forum decide which re-design they like best) is here<\/a>–my entry landed in 3rd. A bronze isn’t too shabby, right?<\/p>\n

Dree Elle is the girlfriend of Orko, from the He-Man cartoon. And if you don’t know who Orko is, I honestly don’t know what to do with you. Fine, fine, you can read about Orko here<\/a>. Anyways, Dree Elle is basically a female version of Orko, but she’s more competent, and she has sexy bedroom eyes. Frankly, I think she’s got it going on, girlfriend<\/em>. *snap*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My version of Dree Elle has just a few modifications–I swapped the colors around a bit, making her gown lighter than her hood rather than vice versa, and added some bracelets and gold trim on her cuffs. The purpose of the shawl\/cape was to give her better defined shoulders, and I changed her scarf to a veil so that we could see the silhouette of her slender neck. I felt that this emphasized her femininity just a touch, so that she wouldn’t just look like Orko in drag. As for the caption, Dree Elle and Orko both belong to the Trollan race. And apparently, I was mistaken in hyphenating “Dree Elle,” which is actually making my borderline OCD brain a bit crazy.<\/div>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong> The original title for the this post was “Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say\/But nothin comes out when they move they lips\/Just a bunch of gibberish\/And m*********s act like they forgot about Dre (Elle)”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
