I went to talk to my mother:
Mom, I am going do draw something that I never did before. What should be:
"Thumdercats" or "Herculoids"?
My mother said:
"Herculoids"!

I was alredy with an sketch so I went to the artwork.

This started to be a double page, but ends up in my first artwork in triple. I got some videos in the internet and used them as reference do draw. Tundro was the most complicated, this artwork took four days of my life, so in the next six or five days I will spent studing a lot to improve my artworks. Since I used a lot of dark areas I put in Photoshop, gave a little of treatment and make it almost as Ink.

I watched a lot the Herculoids in the Tv when I was young, it´s violent, very cool, I lile a lot the beasts, principally their cries that put all the enemies in fear. I am thinking about doing from the old Tv series these heroes, maybe soon or later you can check all in my profile:

"Space ghost", "Thumdercats" , "He-man" and "She-ra". Let see the sketches first.

Em português, estou com preguiça de traduzir:



The Herculoids is a Saturday morning animated television series that was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1967. The Herculoids battled to defend their planet from menaces on Amzot/Quasar and from outer space.

There are eight regular characters:
[edit] Humanoids

The three humanoid characters were the only ones who could communicate in English.

* Zandor (voiced by Mike Road) - The protector of Amzot/Quasar. Leader of The Herculoids.
* Tarra (voiced by Virginia Gregg) - Zandor's wife.
* Dorno (voiced by Ted Eccles in the original series, Sparky Marcus in 1981) - Son of Zandor and Tarra. Despite being their son, he still refers to them by their first names, rather than "Mom" and "Dad." However this changed in the 80's revival of the series.

Creatures:

The five creature characters of The Herculoids are:

* Zok (voiced by Mike Road) - A flying space dragon. He can emit laser beams from his eyes and tail. His eyes also produce a "nega-beam" that can neutralize certain energy attacks. Zok can survive in space unaided, is capable of interstellar travel, and can breathe fire.
* Igoo (voiced by Mike Road) - A rock ape. An extremely large and powerful simian, he has extremely dense rock-like skin and is nearly invulnerable to harm. In one episode, Igoo wades through a pond of molten lava. Igoo has a great fondness and devotion for Tarra, and would do anything for her.
* Tundro (voiced by Mike Road) - A ten-legged, four-horned rhino/triceratops hybrid. He can shoot explosive energy rocks from his cannon-horn (Zandor, Tarra, and Dorno also occasionally shoot similar rocks with slingshots). His natural armor-plating is exceptionally strong, similar to Igoo's rock skin. His legs have the ability to extend to a remarkable length, somewhat like stilts. He can also spin his head at blinding speed, allowing him to drill through solid rock, and has the ability to make magnificent leaps.
* Gloop and Gleep (both voiced by Don Messick) - Two protoplasmic creatures. They are able to absorb and deflect energy blasts and laser beams, often placing themselves between attackers and other Herculoids to act as shields. They can also form shapes including, but not limited to: cushions, trampolines or parachutes to break falls; stretching themselves between tree limbs or rocks to act as slingshots; encircling an attacker's limbs to restrain them, or the entire body to squeeze and render them unconscious. Gloop is the larger of the two.
