Artist Builds Impressive He-Man Sculpture From Scratch

September 17, 2012 in built from scratch, characters, good job, goodness gracious, he-man, holy smokes, i wish i could grow my hair long like that (i wouldn't -- i just wish i could because i like options), it's stuff like this that reminds me just how untalented i really am as an artist, muscles, scale model, sculpture, yow yow!

Seen here sporting the hair braids he got during spring break, He-Man prepares to battle Skeletor's forces with nothing but a sword and brute sexuality. The 1:4 scale sculpture was built from scratch by DeviantARTist EdgePang (aka EJ Pang) and is fairly accurate representation of what I look with my shirt off. My nipples are way smaller though. He's got half-dollars, I've got dimes. Also, I don't have any of those worms crawling under my skin. "Those are veins." I knew that! I go to the gym -- I have a membership. "You might have a membership, but you definitely don't go." Ugh, it's so hard to get motivated.

Hit the jump for a bunch more from different angles, two different states of undress, as well as some work-in-progress shots.

Thanks to my buddy terry, who looks like a chubby white ghost with no clothes on (we play racquetball and change together in the locker room sometimes).

    no penis. the bastard didn't give him any junk. if I was going to make a cool ass sculpture of He-Man, I am going to take the time to give him a swinging baby arm down there.

  • KP

    Well, it does say that the WIP photo of the body is still "basic anatomy"--sculpting a dick doesn't really have priority when you're blocking out a sculpture...so hey, maybe there is a penis under all those loincloths. He just added it later. :P

  • yeah because forming another mans penis with your hands is the ideal thing to do :l

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    it's He-Man. from the name alone he deserves to have something better than an asexual Ken doll.
    also...he already spent detailed hours sculpting a naked man....take 5 more minutes and give He-Man some dignity.

  • *rolls clay in between hands, sticks it on sculpture* there... 1 minute

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    now...was that so hard?

    ...that's what she said

    Effing hipster/emo hair.

    Great sculpture.

  • Søren Karstensen

    It's really cool, apart from the hair. Dude should've sculpted that as well - it sorta ruins the whole statue thingy with that leftover Barbie look....

  • OR he could have used real human hair.

  • HeroXero

    I admit the hair is a little weird but it also gives it a bit of a realistic look.

  • Rick_McRockock

    "From scratch"? Aren't pretty much all sculptures built from scratch?

    That said... this might be the coolest representation of He-Man ever.

  • Hayley Prychun Rodgers

    I think they mean he didn't start with an action figure or pre-made form.

  • Bubbubsky

    That is tremendous. Really, really good.
    I especially love that you could put the shield on the left arm, switch the weapons out, or leave the weapons off entirely and it would look good.
    Quality stuff.
