Hi everyone!
So, instead of annoying you with tons of reuploads, I decided to *update* my Masters of the Universe: Tribal Clash cards for real, post the current versions - including all the improvements to the artworks, and the redesigned layout - and then continue on, following this direction.
You can follow me and this project on Twitter: twitter.com/MotUTC
Full gallery here on DA: www.deviantart.com/g-for-galde…
For those seeing all this for the first time, a brief sum up from my original post:
I've spent my entire childhood playing MotU with my brother and friends, and one of the brightest memories I still keep about them are those fantastic mini-comics illustrated by Alfredo Alcala: savage He-Man, the brutal villains, the barbarian feel... Beyond awesome for kid-me, and still incredibly inspiring to these days.
I'm pretty sure even the guys at Mattel - at the very beginning - didn't have a clear picture of how to develop the series, and we all know how Filmation changed it later on, so those early suggestions really got stuck in my mind.
I started from there, and tried to imagine this alternate universe where heroes and evil forces act as clans and fight against each other for anything else than survival or supremacy.
About the Rock People... Upon deciding against the inclusion of elemental creatures in Tribal Clash - to keep it free from anything that wasn't somehow corporeal - I almost automatically started to think about how to recreate the Rock People. According to ancient tales, Stonedar, Granita, Quartzina and Rokkon were cosmic visitors, descended to Eternia hundreds of thousands of years prior to TC events, to help its inhabitants and watch over their evolution. The myth is now represented by large statues - usually made of precious gemstone, otherwise painted in gold or different, bright colors - which can be found in temples, as well as around villages, for people to stop by and offer gifts, as a sign of constant gratitude.
Peace
G

You are clearly missing one of the Rockiest Rock People of them all.
Kidding aside, Rokkon was my favorite due to his orange-blue color scheme.
