I'm not sure if I want this colored or not. It looks great as in... My friend Ian says I should be his Lyn to his Skeletor but come on! How does that work? I never read the comics but in the toon he's like, tried to kill her a couple of times and she's tried to do the same to him... ¬¬

Thanks!
Well, I have started coloring this, but the lineart will be left here anyway. These days I sorta like having different versions of the same picture in my gallery, and show how the progress goes.
In the comics Keldor/Evil-Lyn is canon. It hasn't been told what cooled down Lyn's feelings for him (or the other way around), but apparently it has a lot to do with Hordak's transformation concerning Skeletor. The operation altered also his mind, perhaps making him more psychotic or something. However, volume III of the comic showed some open bits... deep down, there still seems to be a basis for some kind of fondness. Lyn appears to "miss" as what Skeletor was as Keldor, and the blue fella went and saved her from a severe mortal peril despite her treachery.
So... a tad hard to tell

Let's put it in a nutshell shall we? Their relationship is minor but very chaotic... Though I do have a question... Why did he save her?

Looks like I'm forgetting to answer to things again...
Frankly, that bit remained a bit unclear for me. I can only assume it has something to do with the past bonds, and that there's still a bit of that Keldor left in Skeletor who once cared for her. The last words before Skeletor breaks the curse that holds her go as "I should leave you to die. And yet, I cannot."
I suppose there might've been more explanation if the comic/series had continued.

Brilliant! Gotta love those kneecaps she's got, very fancy.

Although the background in itself is a lovely artpiece on its own, it doesn't suit the lineart. It looks like you're mixing two styles. It is a bit dominant, it might look better if you make it lighter. Another thing is that stab thingy skeletor is holding.

The part where the skull and the stab connect, it seems to be too narrow to support the weight of the skull.

But otherwise your lineart is spectacular.


Good luck with the exams. I fully empathise.

Thanks! Yeah, the bg was too dark, it bugged me from the start too. It's lighter now. I don't yet know what to use for the colored version, but I try to take account of the stylistic uniformness.
As for Skeletor's staff, it actually is like that. I used the comic for reference, and the connector is just as small there. Must be some robust material.

Thanks! I have to blame the comics for the influence concerning Skeletor's face. Compared to them, he looks like all softie in the cartoon.

Hmm...the only thing I would say is Skeletor's bent leg looks a tad small for his body. Maybe just thickning it out would fix that up. I really like this one. The sketchyness really makes it look kenetic.
