Does this seem familiar? Well it should, because this. Is. A. FLASHBACK! Oh yeah! Click on pictures to enlarge them.
In the original series bible, Evil-Lyn is an astronaut from Earth named Evelyn Powers. She crashes on Eternia with two other astronauts, Biff and Marlena. Biff mutates into Beast-Man. Marlena marries King Randor to become queen and Evelyn becomes an evil sorceress named Evil-Lyn (love the puns!). This plot is pretty much abandoned by the cartoon. Evil-Lyn is an evil sorceress who helps Skeletor. She’s one of his most competent aides.
Here’s Nektara as Evil-Lyn. In the toy line, Evil-Lyn and Teela shared a body sculpt. In order to make each drawing more distinct, I went with the 200x update of Evil-Lyn for the original. This time around, I went back to the classic look for Evil-Lyn and went with the cartoon look for Teela to distinguish the two.
Here’s the comparison to the original. The original Evil-Lyn was one of the weaker drawings insofar as keeping the character’s dimensions go. It just doesn’t look like Nektara. But I really liked the colouring and shading.
That’s all for this week. More Masters flashbacks next week.
