#Tarzan’s mother

[elijones94]

🍃🐾 Whenever I do drawings of characters from Disney’s “Tarzan”, I usually refer back to original drawings, storyboard drawings, or early concept drawings by Glen Keane, Ken Duncan, Bruce W. Smith, John Ripa, and Sergio Pablos. It’s fascinating to see earlier versions of characters from their respective movies. With this drawing I did of Tarzan’s mother, Alice Clayton, is actually based off an early concept sketch by Glen Keane. Keane was the supervising animator for Tarzan (as an adult). John Ripa was the supervising animator for Baby Tarzan and Young Tarzan. As an adult, Tarzan gets his hair color and facial shape of his father and his mother’s hair type and eye color. Additionally, their deaths were way more gruesome in the original book than in the Disney movie. In the book, his parents get marooned by mutineers. At the beginning of the movie, they’re escaping from a burning ship. In contrast to the movie Tarzan’s mother dies from natural causes and his father gets killed, not by Sabor, but by Kerchak which is pretty shocking. 🦍🐆

Propaganda Under Cut:

Sally Jackson (Mother of Percy Jackson + Estelle Blofis): Recommended by Elmaxlys. Sally loves her son more than anything and will do anything protect him. When everyone else wrote him off she believed in him and supported him with his ADHD and dyslexia. She named him Perseus after the demigod who survived hoping that her son would survive being a demigod.

Kala (Adoptive Mother of Tarzan): Recommend by yen-sids-tournment. Kala having lost her son in an attack them found a baby whose parents too had been killed and decided to care for him as her own despite what her mate thought about the human baby. She raised and cared and protected Tarzan and taught him to be an ape.

Desensitivizing the fun police (affectionately).

It may not have worked as hoped, even if they didn't fall.

(Cullen has mismatched socks because he can't be bothered and Little Brother the horse is a very chaotic neutral small steed. You can read his villain origin story here.)

Featuring Aisling's doodles on the note he got her as a protest.

Also yes I read the tag and canon approved, Cullen is the only one who can read her horrible cursive. BUT, Dorian and Solas have joined forces and compiled a dictionary and a manual on Aisling Epigraphy to decipher her writing.

Thank you @shivunin for sending me the original meme that worked as a pose reference for the first image (and hey! Check her writing, she's GOOD.)

Can I just say the way you draw Homelander and your other characters is absolutely awesome! Keep up the good work!

Thanks ! Always pleased ( and a little surprised ) to know that people aren't sick of me drawing him.

Randall’s breath was held tight in his throat as he nervously awaited Emily’s response, pulse pounding as he searched her face, trying to pick up on any sign of how she was to react to this-he was relieved when she finally replied, exhaling softly as she gave her response. Behind the mask, he’d raised an eyebrow at her comment about beauty being only skin deep (it was a phrase he’d heard before, just never in regards to himself...), her elaboration on how, no matter how attraction Don Juan was, no matter how women he had hanging off his arm, he would always be alone.

And that was true! Don Juan dropped these women as soon as he was done with them, leaving him empty and alone at the end (even if such a thing was never shown to bother him)…but what did that mean for Randall himself, he wondered? Did she mean to say that, despite his accursed ugliness, he wouldn’t be nearly as lonely as Don Juan was? He supposed that was true, now that he had Emily in his life, but still...did it mean that, maybe one day, he too could be loved, surrounded by good company?

He wasn’t quite sure of what to make of that, but he could see what Emily was getting, and despite that skepticism, he put on a smile for her, saying, “Th-Thank you, my dear, I...I’ve thought about that, how people still love Don Juan, despite what he does...even we in the audience are entranced by him, and we see all he does on the stage! But him being alone, despite all that...I-I hadn’t quite thought about that!”

Wendy Darling (Mother of Jane and Danny): Wendy loves her children telling them the stories of Peter Pan and the adventures he has to them. Wendy accepts that her children are to be evacuated and asks her daughter to continue to tell stories to Danny.

Ride Through Deep Jungle

For @the-world-hopper

Going on adventures together in the Sky Bison, my F-ZERO machine/Gummi Ship, I thought that Lucas and I would go to one of the worlds that Sora, Donald and Goofy haven't been to for so long, Deep Jungle, aka the world of Tarzan. I landed us somewhere in the Bamboo Thicket area where Sora, Tarzan and friends had defeated Sabor the Leopard when trying to find Clayton, whose heart attracted the Heartless just so he can hunt the gorillas. However, Lucas and I landed in a different time where Tarzan and Jane were married after the battle with Clayton. It could be The Legend of Tarzan timeline since Clayton's death of being hanged by a jungle vine was different from being crushed to death by a Stealth Sneak chameleon Heartless. But I assumed things changed since Sora and company ever made any visits to this world since the first game. Lucas and I enjoyed the movie of Tarzan in the world we live in, but when I decided to introduce him to Tarzan and Jane, he couldn't resist having to climb on the backs of Jane and Tarzan. At least the gorilla family, Terk and Tantor didn't have any trouble with the Heartless when we visited. Especially since Bubbles the Bouncywild and her clan along with her best friend Snipes the Sniperwild come and leave Traverse Town to live in this jungle world.

the most underrated Disney Princess

I need me some Tarzans in my life. Sadly they only exist on paper!

Visual development for Tarzan (1999) by John Watkiss

Thoughts on my first Tarzan rewatch since I was a kid:

• Golly gee, I did not remember that both Kerchak and Kala’s very young son AND Tarzan’s parents get mauled by a leopard, it happens within the first ten minutes, and you actually SEE his parents’ bodies. Modern Disney would NEVER

• Also remember when Disney actually animated really good fight scenes, they had nail-biting tangible stakes, and they actually showed blood??? Remember when they weren’t cowards????

• REMEMBER WHEN TARZAN KILLED THE LEOPARD TRYING TO PROVE HIMSELF TO HIS ADOPTIVE FATHER HAVING NO IDEA THAT HE WAS AVENGING HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER (AND MOTHER). REMEMBER THAT

• It’s been said before, but the effort put into the physicality of Tarzan is just top-tier—especially later into the film where he starts to mix his gorilla and learned human mannerisms. There is so much detail here and it’s fascinating

• Also, the times where they chose to make the gorilla conversations understandable to the audience or make them sound like gorillas (aka switch to Jane’s pov) is SO fascinating and does wonders for building up the “two worlds” dichotomy.

• Jane’s crush on Tarzan is SO obvious and honestly comes on so suddenly, she is delulu for days, but honestly I cannae blame her, if *I* was saved by a strong handsome wild man who couldn’t understand me but stared deeply into my eyes as if he could see my soul through them as he pressed the palms of our hands together, I’d probably fold too

• My favorite character was Tantor the elephant. WHAT a character arc, I was so proud of him

• Hey uhhhhhhhh remember how the villain of this movie died by inadvertently hanging himself and the movie indicated this by showing his dangling silhouette in a flash of lightning??? HELLO???

• Y’all like to give Ariel a hard time for giving up her voice for a man when Jane Porter permanently and irrevocably left civilized society to run away to the wilds of Africa to live with gorillas for a man she met a week or two ago who she’s still getting over language barrier issues with. I’m not saying she shouldn’t have done so, I completely support her decision, but I feel like if this movie weren’t so slept on some of y’all would have a lot more to say about it.

• In general Jane is a bit more unhinged than we give her credit for, and more power to her. She’s rapidly climbing the ranks of my favorite Disney princesses.

• And then her father joins her??? “People go missing all the time”???? LOL

• Finally, it’s been said before, but: Phil Collins, you legend. You did not have to go that hard on this film, but you did and we appreciate it so much
