Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones

I don´t manage to do lots of private drawings next to my freelance work, but once in a while I feel inspired and can muster the energy to put a lot of work into a pivate painting. In this case I visited the Grayskull Convention in Germany were I saw a complete set of 'Golden Girl' Figures in the Exhibition. Who´s Golden Girl you might ask? 'Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones' was a toyline produced by Galoob between 1984 and '85 in the wake of He-man and especially She-ra of course. But instead of being a plain Knockoff it took a much more barbaric approach to the 'magical girl genre', more like a cross between She-ra and Red Sonya.
To give it a more serious tone while still be glamorous of course, I chose to depict Golden Girl in a dire situation here, being overpowered by the Dragon Queen after defeating a bunch of her minions. But as the Toyline also was about the Guardians of the gemstones, rescue is on the way in the Form of 'Onyx - challenger of the sabered sword'
