The last time I drew Adora and Catra, it was set pre-series, when the two of them were BFFs. This one is after Adora becomes She-Ra, when the two of them are mortal enemies (albeit with sexual tension bursting from the seams). I don’t do it often, but I enjoy a good “villain captures hero” scenario, provided the characters have the right sort of chemistry (which these two do). There’s actually a handful of times in the series Catra has Adora/She-Ra at her mercy, and those scenes always feel like they’re a few steps away from turning into something like what I’ve drawn here. So, yeah, this one feels like kinda an obvious scenario, and while I typically try and avoid those, I love these characters too much to not have a little fun with it. Hope you all enjoy.

So I really like pairing Adora with Catra. They’re enemies throughout the series, but at the very start they’re best friends (and this carries through the tone of their rivalry). This pic takes place before Adora becomes She-Ra, when they’re still friends, but I also wanna do stuff from when they’re enemies later.
