The Entrapdak Zine is out, so let me show you my piece!

Repost, Tumblr has been glitching a bit lately. I wanted to add some extra thoughts.

“Lord and Lady of the Fright Zone“, standalone work and an illustration for my fanfic. Featured in @maireadralph‘s Entrapdak Zine; this is the full piece. Hordak ought to have been wearing a black crown, but I ran out of time, as the first two designs didn’t quite match my mental image. Perhaps that’ll materialize in some upcoming piece.

The background appears rather more dramatic than originally intended, but after sampling some colors from Hordak’s hair and cloak lining, I ended up with this smoky sky looming above a tenebrous, rocky barrenness surrounding the capital of Hordak’s dominion. I’m still relearning digital painting, and have some issues with light sources, but it’s coming together step by step. I’m quite happy with the result here, even if the background illumination ought to create additional shadows.

I have gotten some questions about the height difference between Hordak and Entrapta again, so I have included a screenshot from “Signals” on which the current arrangement is based, among other S2/S3 scenes. My Hordak has “gained” some height since the first drawings a year back, and he’s a few inches over seven feet tall in his current form. While I grant him quite a bit of muscle mass, his arms are still atrophied and protected by the exoskeleton, beneath which artificial muscle groups enhance his strength. I was going to post sketches of my hc’s concerning the functionality of the entire ensemble some months back, but ended up detailing it in the fics instead.
