thanks for posting this! badass concepts. Its also good to see someone related to the show actually trying to hype up the new episodes unlike cartoon network and Bandai. Personally i like this Slythe better then the one that is on the show. This one looks a lot more ruthless. Ill never get used to sayin Addicus, with that being said Monkian, looks awesome!

Wow. That's cool. I was wondering who Addicus was.

I love the Addicus design, and appreciate that the only major difference between this concept art, and the in-show design, is that he's bulked up a bit for the show. I REALLY hope he gets a toy at some point.
Slithe doesn't look much different from his in-show design either. Though the serious amount of shadowing on him here does help make him look a lot more sinister. |

Why would they change Monkian's name?

Could be a trademark issue, which is usually the culprit in these cases. anything from having the trademark denied to the legal team seeing a potential issue due to being used elsewhere or being to close to another trademark.
When you don't use the name for 25+ years, that's bound to happen. |

I'm pretty sure it's because their old names were the names of the species and not actual name names. Slythe was the only one that actually had a true name. I doubt it's legalities because well doesn't WB own all the rights? And they didn't rename anyone else. Plus the Wildstorm comics were able to use the old names with no issues.

I'm not saying that trademark concerns were what caused this, only that it was a possibility. |

P.S. apparently this really doesn't mean bad news for the Art Book. Dan said he has Thousands of drawings from the show and that's not even including work from all the other artists involved. He just wanted to get some hype up because he know people are becoming discouraged about no news about the show.

I like the size-chart of some of the different towns-people. They all look like they could have existed in the original show. The early concept for the original pitch poster is good. It's nice to see where they were starting from. The uhhh...Mumm-Ra logo is....interesting. I'm glad they went with his twin-snake logo instead. Though I do like how this one incorporated a little tech into it. This reminds me, I'm still hoping they delve a bit into his past. We now how the cats, Mumm-Ra, and all the other animals got onto Third Earth, but it would be interesting to find out where he's from, and what motivates him to do what he does. The original's ancient devil priest title doesn't quite fit anymore. |

if you mean the skull with wings that wasn't a Mumm-Ra logo. That was a T-shirt design Dan made a few months back.

http://dingo107.deviantart.com/art/L...2F4884246&qo=8 This "lizard slave" sort of reminds me of the mutant cook that was in one episode of the original show. Skinny and pale... http://dingo107.deviantart.com/art/S...F4884246&qo=10 Very interesting idea for Slithe...I'm glad this wasn't what they went with when they got around to working on the show, lol...(assuming it was brought up as an option for it to begin with).

yeah I'm absolutely in love with that Lynxo design. It's one of the best updates IMO, if not THE best.
