Minions of Apocalypse: Metron, I mean Zodac by Rob Ayotte

I'm so sorry dropping out of sight for a while. AND I'm sorry that I did not follow the guide lines to the Minions of Apocalypse theme. MY EXCUSE: It is said that Masters of the Universe is very influenced by Jack Kirby's New Gods and that the most obvious parallel is between Zodac and Metron. They are both neutral observers who fly around in chairs and so on. If you Wicki Zodac it'll tell you all about it. I've been trying to get this color/painting/ digital art thing down and also trying to have a decent set of MOTU pieces for my portfolio so this seemed like a good choice for me. I hope ya'll can forgive me if you feel that this was out of bounds. A lot of wonderful work was produced while I've been away from the site! I've enjoyed looking and will continue to do so.Take care,
Rob

Most of the Minions posting here, I gather, know each other from MCAD and the general Minneapolis scene. I, however, really only know Josh Lynch and live in Wisconsin ("the Other Minnesota"), and so the rest of you are all mysterious to me. So when Josh picked this week's theme in which each of us would draw someone else, I had to do some investigation on the subject of Rob. Through digging I found out that he can play the violin, which I do not know how to draw. I also found out that he has teaching experience and did a mural with high school students, but I do not know what this mural looks like.

Then he told me he likes Masters of the Universe villains, and I sure as hell know how to draw those. I've always been dodgy with likenesses (it took me about three years before I could draw a reasonable cartoon of my wife), so I hope the Skeletor body mod makes up for it.

(P.S. - Super lame colors, I know, but it had to be colored somehow (just isn't Skeletor if he's not blue and purple) and I don't have your guys' fancy Web tablets and Photo-shoppe.)
