He-Man: Kobra Khan Redesign

Liam Keogh
by LiamK on 1 Jun 2021 for Rookie Awards 2021

I used a combination of Zbrush and Photoshop to redesign Kobra-Khan from the He-man series, envisioned as a character in a Hero Shooter video game. As Kobra-Khan is an antagonist and He-Man is kind of a barbarian, I thought it would be cool to base Kobra Khan's costume and culture off of Ancient Roman Culture.

Kobra-Khan Rifle Design

After preliminary sketches getting a feel for the design, I used a bit of Blender for this gun


Face Paint Design


Earlier Concept Models

The red colour I eventually changed to purple as Kobra-Khan is second in command of the "Snake People" and purple was more of a royal colour in Ancient Rome.

Early Sketches


References: Was Gender Bending Kobra-Khan as I thought that would be cooler. Always fascinated with Roman History and Agustus and Livia Druscilla's power dynamic and considering Kobra-Khan is second in command of the "Snake People" (and Livia was kind of second in command of the Roman Empire) I thought that could make a cool story.

Some sneaky alternate designs after I worked out Keyshot a little better
