Why this piece is awesome: I need to give a bit of background here. Anti-He-Man makes an appearance in the German MotU audio plays; in episode 11 (itself largely based on a 1984 comic) our heroes encountered an alternate universe called Anti-Eternia, where Anti-He-Man was the villain (which would imply the existence of an Anti-Skeletor leading a rebellion against him, an idea that sadly was never explored in canon).
The Anti version of Castle Grayskull was described as having an angelic face, and I love that the artist included it in the background and made it the creepy kind of beautiful. The color scheme of reds and blacks for Anti-He-Man make him look imposing and the magical lightning coming from the blade is a fitting way to illuminate the figure. A great depiction of a fascinating AU!
