Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up.<\/p>\n

For the last two weeks we’ve been looking at the heroes of Eternia, this week, we start looking at the villains. As I was drawing these, I realized how freaky some of the Masters of the Universe villains look.<\/p>\n

First up, is Sassetor…or Skelesass, your pick. Normally, I try to keep the Animus characters’ natural colour, but blue is such a big part of Skeletor’s design, that I gave Sass a blue body suit. I like the shading and the lightning effects. I don’t know that it comes through in the finished drawing, but the idea is that Sass is wearing a Halloween mask.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up is Zo\u00eb as Webstor. I tried an action pose and while the pose is alright, I feel that you don’t really get a feel for Webstor’s design. Oh well. I gave her a blue body suit too to try to make it clearer who she’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up is Evil-Nek. I’m starting to like playing with shading to make glowing effects. I like how the blue orb in her staff turned out. Not crazy about the dagger. I used pictures of the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line as reference pictures for the other mash-ups, but Evil-Lyn’s body is a straight-up repaint of Teela’s body and I didn’t want to redraw the same body, so I used Evil-Lyn’s 2000 redesign as a reference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we move on to Deema-lash. Of all the Masters of the Universe mash-ups, this was the easiest casting decision to make. Whiplash is a lizard-man with a tail. Deema is a lizard-girl with a tail. I tried something new with the tail smashing the rock action pose. I like the results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last for this week is Wrench-Jaw. Cyran’s wrench is glued to his left paw (his left, our right) so I had to switch Trap-Jaw’s mechanical arm from his right to his left to match-up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So that’s all for now. Come back next week for the remaining Masters of the Universe mash-ups.<\/p>\n
