WWE: SLAM CITY!

This was a lot of fun. I created the concept for this story and pitched it to the WWE. A little nerve-wracking, those guys are huge. (But very nice). They liked it! Topline idea: a mysterious masked Superstar called the Finisher takes over the WWE and fires all the Superstars, heroes and heels alike, forcing them all to get jobs in the real world! Chaos ensues.

DESPARA, Force Captain of the Evil Horde

A little over a year ago, I conceived and developed the character “Despara,” a re-imagining of She-Ra’s backstory as a Force Captain in Hordak’s evil Horde. I wanted to take a more realistic look at this chapter in She-Ra’s life. Gabe De La Torre, lead designer at Mattel, designed Despara’s look.
