This one was touching, but not heartwrenching to draw

This works really well too. The focus on the father-and-daughter while everyone else pales into insignificance behind them, showing hw they are shutting all distractions out as they commune.
It's a tender and necessary moment - and it tells us a lot about them both. Duncan is not as stern as he appears - and Teela more vulnerable than she likes to project.

Thanks ^__^ When I was thinking about how to tackle the image, the pale baground and people in it appeared right away in my mind. I'm glad it pleases

It is just right for the story. The fadedness shows the less important people here as not so important.

Omnivore approved as well when he saw it.

Sometimes that's how inspiration works; it certainly is demonstrable here.

This one was also one of my favorites of your work.

Pleased to hear that ^__^ I had no idea this image was so well liked when it first appeared with THF

Oh yes, it was much remarked upon then.

One of my favourites of all your Omnivore work. It's so touching.

Aaww really? Wow... I had no idea. I didn't think much of this image actually. Glad you like it

You didn't? I'm surprised. It's really distinctive and subtle.

I agree, it is. It shows a very special moment

Well, whatever it is that 'isn't right' isn't obvious either!

This is a really nice and touching image of a significant moment of quietness in the story. It shows real love.

^__^ I know, right? The very special kind of fathers and daughters. Which can be awkward sometimes, especially when fathers don't know how to show their feelings. Thankfully though, Duncan doesn't have that problem.

What is nice here is that maybe Duncan does not always feel it is easy to show it - not in such a public place, but here he overcomes it because of his girl's distress.
The way you show them together, alone in the midst of all the rest is tender. The other figures fade because they are excluded from the moment.

Well, this Duncan is I think more detached and perhas severe, but kind at heart. Though the Duncan in my memory is very at ease with showing his feelings, both to Teela and Adam. So this was just water for my mill

But we have only seen this Duncan under great stress - his daughter abducted, his charge Adam rushing off to rescue her against all advice. And now He-Man is gone and cannot be found at all. I think it is right that he seems somewhat severe and preoccupied under these conditions. Or do you not think so?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... I suppose you have a point. It's been stress and nothing but stress for him from the outset, hasn't it? Not very great conditions to show us his soft side

Thank you. I do believe that Duncan here is under much pressure, yes. And it makes him seem harder, as when he snaps at Teela (but he also gives her a public hug!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pressure does that to us, doesn't it? Makes us go from one extreme to the other.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that is very right indeed. It does.
I think we cannot be sure how Duncan would be normally here, since we have not had that chance to see him when not under this great pressure.
He-Man is captured, Adam (as he knows) also lost and through his own madcap reckless haste. Teela is fretting madly and the kingdom is without its heir. Nor can the Sorceress help!
I think he has good reason to be worried!

I just wish for Duncan as I remember him, is all ^__^

But would you want every MOTU story only to be a repeat the exact evolutionen of the 1980s cartoon? That would not be too attractive to many.
I am thinking this story works so well because the framing and the characters are all familiar, but they are also developed much past the cartoon and with greater realitism and deepness. I recognize Duncan here so easily, yes, but know that here he is in a world which has great pressure and threat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not a repeat, no. Lol, i think I'm alone in my crazy and unexplainable sentiment for the Filmation original. Alas... I guess I miss that world where things were simpler and solvable in 20 minutes 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It had much appeal and charm, yes. But it is also nice to see MOTU grow up a little in the hands of a skilled writer and deeply sympathetic imagination.

I feel the same, despite all appearances. Else I wouldn't be here
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand. And it is good for us and for MOTU that you are here!

Wow really? I don't remember it being so popular at all

Another one I liked. You got Teela's age just right, and her cadet's uniform and practical hairstyle. And even her court gloves!
It's all in the details, isn't it?. I like the architectural setting too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why thank you ^__^ When it was posted in the THF story, it didn't get all that much attention, but I'm glad to know you find it so special. The architectural design is actually a very, very manipulated photo I got from Omnivore7 for this purpose

I like the (unusual) display of emotion between the two of them. The stress has brought out the true depth of their feeling.

I did comment on it and so did some others, I remember. It was much liked.
