Masters of the Universe: Tribal Clash

Description

And here we are, the final row of Evil Warriors from my original Tribal Clash alternate-universe-thingamajig (you can head here [link] to have a look at the full gallery).

As you can see, it's finally skullface time! :D
And despite the fact that it's the last one, his concept was one of the earliest I came up with.

Basically, I started from this question: how can you re-imagine THE arch-enemy - this whole idea of a one and only 'boss of the villains', a superior entity who all the bad guys (humans, humanoids or monsters) look at their sole master - especially in this scenario where all these creatures aren't really each others' friends and don't act like a proper army? Also, I never liked the fact he always had his ass handed in the cartoon, which made him look like a complete sissy. XD

On one hand I wanted to keep his role of supreme guide but I needed to get rid of that 'whoever enemy loses a battle = puny Skeletor flees' kind of scenario.
So I came up with this idea of turning him into something less material than he's used to be... Not a physical being anymore, Skeletor is now an evil deity, a cult spread all over Eternia in form of creepy temples (Snake Mountain maybe?) and altars (as the one above, guarded by Panthor). In its name, evil priestesses like Evil-Lyn perform bloody rituals to gather as many vicious beings as they can, to employ them as their minions.

Hope you dug this first batch - I know I left out important characters, but I plan to do more of them in the future and also cover the Snake-men, She-Ra and the Evil Horde story arcs - as always, feel free to comment, critique and suggest. It's all very welcome. ^_-
