Lightning Strikes Twice

The beginning of the Trollan Invasion of Eternia. Dree Elle is blown into Eternia and has more adventures than she wants.

Associated Artwork (spoiler alert!):

• Feathers - A children's game.
• Carry Me Back - or Flying for Two.
• A Grim Scene - Magic isn't fun when it's being done to you.
• Pinata Party - Well, this didn't actually happen, but it'd be funny if it did. B&W.
• Denouement - Out of danger, but not out of the woods yet.
• Goodbye - Happy ending? (The background and portal come from the game Hexen.)

The Mage in The Silver Mask

Part two of the Trollan Invasion. Dree Elle returns, with a few Trollan sorcerers who have their own agendas.

• D'Sparil - The Trollan in The Silver Mask, a known Heretic. An inspirational pic, meaning that I didn't stick with this look.
• Mobbish Trollans - Another try at D'Sparil and Tengu. Another inspirational pic.
• Orko the Gardener - In case anyone missed the in-joke.
• Orko The Great... Big Show-Off - Eine Kleine Dinner Theater.
• The Warlock's Wheel - Three mages, one bad idea.
• Wand Fight - Don't interrupt a sorcerer when he's casting a spell. It makes him cranky.
• Blonde Abuse - Not everyone adores Dree Elle.
• When Trollans Jog - Run away! Run away!
• Superdree! - It's a bird! It's.. oh, never mind.
• Tiny Bones - Orko as you've never seen him.
• Face to Face - A Trollan ritual. Warning: facial nudity!
• New! D'Sparil - Lar DeSouza's take on D'Sparil. B&W.

The Apprentice's Sorcerer

The final third part of The Trollan Trilogy. Montork arrives to clean up some loose ends.

• Put One Foot in Front of The Other - When you drain a Trollan's magic, he can't fly. Being a pedestrian is not fun when you're only two feet tall.
• I Aten't Dead - Montork learns a valuable lesson about Eternian magic - namely, that it doesn't like Trollans.
• When Dragons Fight, it is The Forest That Burns - or, dueling sorcerers drive down property values.

D'Sparil's Theme - Actually, this is "J-E-N-O-V-A" from the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack. It always seemed to me to be a good battle theme for D'Sparil. 211K, zipped RealMedia file.

Souls

Orko and Dree Elle take a big step - all the way back to Trolla. Meanwhile, He-Man deals with an unruly goddess.

• Rasuto - A "soulcatcher," a priestess who shepherds souls. For naturally magically inclined creatures like Trollans, that's a less nebulous task than you'd think.
• You're Not The Boss of Me! Normally Dree Elle is very even-tempered, but there are a few people who can really push her buttons.
• Exvie - A spirit, a goddess - what is she? Heck if she knows, but that's He-Man's problem, not hers.
• Finger Food - A happy little scene on Trolla starring an adorable little girl and a scary giant serpent.
• Alchemy - Orko does some heavy magic while Battle Cat wishes he were anyplace else.
• Exvie 2 - Updated her design a little. I hope bark doesn't chafe.
• Emorko - Kind or a remake of Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day, but more story-specific.

Rise of The Snake Women

We've seen the Snake Men, but where are the snake women?

• Hebi - an Ophidian redshirt.
• Kamil - a less-hardcore-looking Ophidian.
• Kurokassan - The Boss. Well, of a clan, anyway.

More Power, More Problems

When people run around swinging swords, someone's bound to get hurt. And when you're fighting in The Struggle Of Good Against Evil, you will get your hands dirty.

•  Natrix - Another Ophidian. A male this time.

Continuity

Skeletor has a new plot to capture castle Grayskull, and The Order of The Gash has its own plans. History repeats itself in many ways.

• Bright Eyes - Orko gives Montork an eye exam. It's hard to write non-spoilerous captions sometimes.
• Dree as Aerith - Reacting to the above. Please don't ask about the costume.
• Queen Snake - The first real Snake Woman.
• Squee! - Some women get scary around babies.
• Sumi - a member of the Crimson Council, introduced in this story.
• Sumi 2 - An early draft of Sumi...
• Sumi 3 - ...and another...
• Sumi 4 - ...and another...
• Evil Sumi - This isn't really him, but it was fun to draw.

New! Hordak 4:1

An ancient evil returns to Eternia. Who will triumph and who will fall?

• New! Hordak 4:1 Poster - Suitable for framing or wrapping fish.

Short stories

The Orakle

Who is The Oracle, who appeared in the episode The Power of Grayskull? This story stands alone, though references are made to my continuity.

• Self-Censorship - The Oracle edits his journal.

Here are a few developmental pictures for scenes that didn't quite make it into final stories.

• Busted! - Montork has the power to, with a few words, make Orko swallow his gum. (This bit was cut out because it would have made Montork look like a meddler.)
• Copycat - Orko and Montork testing each other's skills. (This scene remained, but it was recast with Dree and Roboto.)

Musical, um, Thing

In the old show Orko had his own theme music. Not so in the new show. Well, here's a clip from the video game "Ai Cho Aniki" which I have adopted as a theme for the version of Orko that I write. This is a zipped RM file, so you'll need something that can unzip files and then something that can play RealMedia files (like RealPlayer or RealOne.)
