He-Man & She-Ra Painting at 2007 Cons

When Nonnie asked if Skeletor's face has skin or is just bone, David Mack confirmed it was bone and added: "I did a painting that comes with the DVD released last Christmas of Skeletor, She-Ra and He-Man. They are all pretty specific about making the characters exact in continuity. Was a job I never thought I'd have: Making sure Skeletor had the right yellow on his face, and re-doing She-Ra's arm bands to make them fit in continuity, etc. Did anyone see this painting card in the DVD? I still have the original and am going to take it to cons this year for sale." Front Back
