In my He-Man universe Queen Marlena was a run away from First One colony who became a Han Solo like pirate called the Crimson Queen.

My Marlena totally told Adam about all her adventures (she over exaggerated of course) but that’s why when Adam was young she was “the coolest”

there’s Lyn calling him a boytoy in revelation

skeletor saying something a long the lines of “what are you going to stop us with? your good looks?”

and also whatever the hell this was (ignore that this is a photo of my tv, i did not have the ability to properly screencap it)

Skeletor and his queen Evil-Lyn

Yannick Bouchard final work "Downfall of Castle Grayskull"

"So, here is the finished version of this painting, which I finished a few weeks ago, but hadn't posted yet. This was a commissioned painting based on the characters from The Masters of The Universe (He-Man). . You can scroll and see some process pics. The second image is a rough conceptual sketch I did digitally, so my client could have an idea of where I was going with it and approve it. I then did a photoshoot with the fantastic @carlottachampagne -I brought that sketch to show her so we could recreate those poses. . The third image is a colored digital sketch I did, once I had the photos of my model. Yes, she is all 4 characters, haha! It kinda make sense when you think about it, because all the characters in the toy line and cartoons had similar body types. And Sorceress and Teela are mother and daughter, so it explains the likeness 😁 . The 4th image is the rough underpainting. I traced the drawing on the canvas, then added a bit of details with thin oil paint. I let it dry for a week or so, then brushed over a wash of diluted ochre color over it. . The 5th image is the first layer in color, which I did in about a day and half. . Last image is the final painting. I did one character at a time. It took between 15 to 24 hours to do each one of them. Then, I did the background, which took almost 24 hours to do. The whole painting took about 140 hours to do (not counting digital sketches). . Title: Downfall of Castle Grayskull Dimensions: 30" x 40" Medium: oil painting on stretched cotton canvas"

here’s the character lineup of what i have done so far, i’ve hit a block with character designs because im incredibly tired.

(i changed nothing about cringer because A. i can’t draw cats all that well and B. there’s not much to redesign tbh)

I imagine at first he was trying to convince Mandos to re-embody him so he could go and help his kids, but eventually accepted he never could have saved them - it was impossible even for him. Here he is about to ask to be sent to wherever Uruk souls go, so he can be reunited with his children once more. 🖤

Are you even a dad if you don’t pretend your kids have slain you whilst play fighting? Wait - no - why would I do this to myself? 😭😭😭
