Last week’s update just wasn’t enough, so let’s go back to Eternia for a bit of extra fun!

Custom Sprites: Masters of the Universe
– new Evil-Lyn sprite using the same base as the Teela sprite I added last week.
– new Mer-Man sprites using the Vintage Figure side pose.
– The He-Man, Teela, Skeletor, and Tri-Klops sprites from last week’s update all have improvements, including height adjustments.

Custom Sprites: Illmosis
– new sprite of Hilde/Santessa in work clothes and holding a Teela Masters of the Universe figure. Giving Hilde a non-Christmas-y look is something I’d thought about for a while, but multiple people wanting to see her show up more pushed me to finally sprite it.

All new and/or improved sprites added to the GFX Generator and this new short video for Masters of the Universe.

Still planning to add to the toy section of this site before the month is over along with getting ready to do some time sensitive commission work. I got one roster update pic done last week and will cook up a few more this weekend. But here’s a few pics with some of my newest (for now) items, including a Wall XD Artist Proof Display Panel by DioBolic Studios. It’s still unpainted, I might just wait until getting a second section and paint them at the same time so they’ll match. Funny enough, I got the Teela the day after last week’s update.

Toy-related things I got in early June 2026. Two Joneses, a Teela, and a piece of street.

Vigilante goes out on patrol and finds a completely different green dude than usual.

Pizza Kidd is back on the menu, check out the Kickstarter campaign here for the stylized pixel art beat ’em up!

Help Pizza Kidd deliver sci-fi-flavored pixel art brawling mayhem by backing the Kickstarter! Try a slice by getting the demo on Steam.

The Masters of the Universe movie is in theaters now, so I figured (sensible chuckle) this would be the right time to add some Eternian pixels to the site!

Custom Sprites: Masters of the Universe
– He-Man: new “I have the POWER” pose, all new sprite with parts of his original harness were from my 2017 scratch-made sprite.
– Skeletor: redone Havok Staff stand sprite, using parts of a new sprite base I made and piece of my 2021 sprite.
– Teela: new sprite with Masterverse-style weapons
– all-new sprites of Tri-Klops and Buzz-Off in the 1982 stance (I’ll explain in a sec).

He-Man and Skeletor now have separate galleries and their earlier sprites have been moved there.

Props to long-time friend of the site (and contributor) Psicoso for suggesting I make a standard base for MotU characters. It’s something I didn’t do before because I thought people would be mad if they had the same bodies… even though the original toyline did it first. That first pose is based directly on the 1982 toy sculpt. Then my new He-Man and Skeletor sprites have parts made to match this new base. Do you like how these sprites look? I’m not promising that I’ll make the whole line, but I’ll make a lot more with this base.

The new sprites were also added to the GFX Generator, along with an all-new background outside Castle Grayskull! This was something I’d started in 2025 but wasn’t satisfied with the castle I was drawing, so I drew it over again this year. There are still some things I’d like to add to it, but it’s good enough to show now. I’ve also added a custom Masters of the Universe theme to the MvC ending. Check THIS out:

If you’re a Masters of the Universe fan, more sprites based on this series and Princess of Power (1980s) will be added this year, along withe replacements for earlier sprites I’ve made.

I’ll be doing some special case commission work later this month, so this site will probably be quiet for a while. There will be a toy section update this month that would’ve happened last month if Amazon hadn’t canceled my Nendoroid Kirby re-issue pre-order on the day they were supposed to deliver it. Am I still salty about that? YES I AM, because I can’t find it for regular price anywhere now. Luckily, I’ve got some other things in that’ll let me update some rosters, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DC Comics.

The next main update will be on July 19th, 2026, the 26th Anniversary of the site. I’ll be concentrating on games more for that one.

Here’s a couple of teasers for this week’s update.

New/improved sprites of characters already on the site, some new characters (in the teasers), and few things for the image generators!

I couldn’t let Pac-Man Day pass without adding a little something to the site!

Pac-Man: Pac-Man in his Pac-Land stance, including with his default hat from that game and even a sprite with his longer nose from the Japanese version! While Namco’s 1984 side-scroller Pac-Land doesn’t get mentioned enough in U.S. gaming circles, you’d be surprised at how many developers around the world were influenced and inspired by it.

The new Pac-Sprites have been added to the main image generator, where I made the pic at the top of the post.

(edit: note from earlier in the day)
Sorry for the lateness, I’ll be adding it and it the variants later tonight. The tags in the blog post are a clue.

Hey, did you see the all-new Pac-Man cartoon series’ debut on YouTube today? If not, check it out here:

Liu Kang’s sprite and mini-logo was added to the main GFX Generator, along with Mortal Kombat circle layout for the Mego World’s Greatest Super-Heroes template.
edit May 11, 2026: also added 3 backgrounds from Mortal Kombat and 3 from Mortal Kombat II to the Group, Vs. MvC1 ending, 160x192p box, and 88x136p comic screenstyle options.

BTW: there was a small update earlier in the week adding Double Dragon 1995 Neo-Geo portraits to the regular sprite galleries and image generators.

Time to post more previews from the lab. Don’t worry, both are pretty much Easy Mode here (and the answer to one is in the comments of another post):
