Another Monday has come and that means a new-improved (not really) art update!
I'm still working on ThunderCats fanart. I'm keeping up with the show that's currently airing and it's curling my toes with excitement! I haven't seen a decent cartoon from Cartoon Network in ages. (There are a few exceptions, but most of those were on Adult Swim and weren't even from America. Japanese imports, baby!) That aside, because the show is getting me so pumped, I've been more than willing to try my hand at drawing their characters. While trying to stay true to the character design, I'm also letting my style of drawing rear it's (ugly?) head and make itself known. Besides, it's rather boring fanart if it looks exactly like the artist's original design.
The Lion-Os have their claws sunk into me at this point. I've already shown you the 80s version of him, and I've drawn the '11 Lion-O now as well. I'm currently sketching out the two Lion-Os having a friendly match with each other, but since I've decided to take it a step further and give it a decent background, this next one will take a bit longer to draw. I'll keep you updated on the progress of that.
On a slight side note, I'm really excited to say that I've gotten some decent feedback from an artist on devianART. He's really excited about my ThunderCats fanart and has even placed a request for a piece. (Not an official commission, but at least he's interested.) He and I have talked about my doing other 80s fanart, and overall the whole thing has been a huge encouragement. It's nice to know someone is getting something out of your artwork (Besides yourself, I suppose!) For now, though, I'll let you see the reboot Lion-O looking all prettified for you! And, as always, here's a link for a larger size: Lion-O
