Recreated a water warrior I designed from when I was around 10.
So backstory: my parents decided to move out of the house I grew up in and found a lot of my old artwork.
In particular, I found this "book" I don't remember creating filled with a bunch of warriors I designed, and thought it would be fun to cover them now over a decade later!
Look at that masterful binding job
Since I started with the water warrior, I'll just continue from here.
There's plenty more so if you guys enjoy them I can finish the series. Even if you don't I probably will, this was a ton of fun.
FP Edit: Thanks you all so much for the positive feedback and funny comments! Hopefully I'll have more up by next week, and I get it, they'll all work out their legs this time.

What´s up with the gimpsuits child-version of you?
zigzagziggy

monevthegale
It looks like I just discovered what a stapler was
RawrImABear
Just started posting my own art recently. You're an inspiration. Awesome work.
monevthegale
Great to hear :) always practice!

JEWISH NAME ALERT FELLOW YID LOCATED
monevthegale
You must be very Jewish to recognize my name
wolfsawrawr
Gen warrior looks like a pole dancer. But all in all, these are pretty rad!
Maxgaap
I was going so say looks like a gimp from an s&m club. Well drawn OP, but looks a little kinky.
andysthirsty
Can somebody animate gem warrior hip thrusting?
YourWaifuIsTrash
Dat bulge doe
monevthegale
In all fairness 'Gem Warrior' does sound like a stripper name.
crashzealot
Gem Warrior needs a dildo sword
TeriyakiTyphoon
I'm pretty sure I've met all the "warriors" in the gay club. Gem prefers his middle name though "Mark".
RyixUO
I was thinking you might have been questioning some life style decisions in your youth with that gem guy
nuclearwessels
I want to see all of them.
monevthegale
In time
nousernameisirrelevant
Hopefully I won't miss out... I enjoyed these
MechaRoosevelt
Me neither
lazysombrero
My kids have such collections. Hope they do something like this when they grow up
monevthegale
Keep encouraging them! People tell me all the time how they just stopped drawing
Mastahkeef
I was just thinking that I used to make drawings just like this, but just stopped. Now I see what I could have become...
monevthegale
It's never too late!
urmm
This is brilliant. I may have to look back though all my old drawings.
urmm
Would love to see more also.
monevthegale
Go for it! And more shall come!
zark4di
I love this. I love that you made a book with warriors. And it's fun seeing you interpret them with new and varied designs.
derrymerbles
The originals are all better than I can draw now. You can tell that you had an existing talent to cultivate
Plemeno
But why do they all look like BDSM aliens?
ResemblingRemarks
Dude have you even seen 80s/90s animated adventure shows? Dudes in underwear and belts everywhere!
monevthegale
Because that's how children draw
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yeah about that... i don't remember drawing gimps when i was a kid :)
monevthegale
That makes me really happy. I tried to stay true to the original spirit of the warriors, but it was impossible to not add new interpretation
UncleCeiling
sure, you added new stuff, but what would the original artist think?!
CultofCedar
They all look cool but man, gem warrior sure did grow up weird. Looks like that dudes into some weird stuffs.
KickAssFactsMachine
Ha! I was thinking the same thing. He's got kind of a gimp vibe. Still excellent work though!
CultofCedar
Yea the way he's standing kinda slumped over isn't helping his cause lmao
ThePowerToKillAYakFrom200YardsAway
RocktheDwayneJohnson
Very cool! Do you draw professionally?
monevthegale
Nope, I'm studying political science :) but I appreciate you thinking I could!
Stronghans
I'm no psychic, but a I can see you becoming a political cartoonist from all this.
monevthegale
I usually draw scary/creepy stuff so probably
theelvesoflothlorien
The next Gerald Scarfe?
SLTWWS
Welcome to the trump Era! Your perfecr
Drshwing
They kind of look like JoJo stands.
CheshiresShadow
I was also thinking that.
IchitheKira
was thinking the same thing
Boltz
Mwahaha Jojo you konoyaro, you have fallen into my trap, that gem was in fact ore no stando, Za Gem Warrior ! *Swoosh*
AfterEffekt
Do ya think Gem Warrior can use Bite Za Dusto?
Deathkeeper
No he uses Emerald Splash just look at those eyes.
AfterEffekt
So does that make Water Warrior grant wishes & say "HAIL 2 U?"
TheGingerOctopus
My only comment is that your legs always seem a bit short. But amazing improvement!
Deutter
BOOOOO negativity
lqql00
You think Dungeon and Masked Warrior has time for leg days? NO! Everyday is Chest Day.
IAmCodyProbably
I just like to think they were drawn as if through the perspective of a fish eye lens.
Somanyquestions
Shorter legs have better balance, an important warrior trait!
Snooj
They are warriors, not runners.
EstebanWinsmore
We are warriors. Not merchants!
monevthegale
Thank you so much! And true- I tried following the dimensions of the original warriors but I def exaggerated the hulking upper bodies
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Your early drawings are like my sons. Are you a disappointment too?
FrustratedBluffing
something something jumper cables
monevthegale
The short answer is yes
LazyTheAssCat
Is the long answer no?
Robvp
Long answer is "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss"
