Abbey Admires Thundarr's Sword
🕑 Added 2020-07-07 22:00:04 +0000 UTCAre you like me (and the commissioner of this piece), old enough to remember Saturday morning cartoons? *sigh* So old...
Truth be told, I was pretty much only a Bugs Bunny/Warner Bros. cartoons guy. I got spoiled by that great old animation, and couldn't get into the cheap animation of 70's cartoons. But I do remember The Herculoids, which is where the dragon-thing poking his head in from off-panel is from. Thundarr was unknown to me, until I researched the characters for reference. That always makes me a bit nervous. Not being familiar with a character, it's easy to accidentally draw them doing something they would never do. For all I know, Thundarr would never let anyone else hold his sword; or maybe it only "flames" when he holds it. I hope not. And this commissioner is so nice he'd probably never tell me, so as not to make me feel bad. Thundarr's lady and Paris look a little too jealous...unless they're reading-in a whole phallic thing with the sword. Hopefully Paris knows better than to try to compete with a 7-foot-tall muscleman barbarian with a flaming tool.
