"The Herculoids"

(Laffalympics 2024 might be over, but--I'M NOT FINISHED!)

This is a great rendition of the Herculoids...

...but why the heck is Tundro so tiny? Her name is literally Tundro the Tremendous. Maybe it's a baby Tundro?

Still loving the art though.

KAIJUNE DAY 13: Tundro

It came raining boulders.

Scouts searched desperately for where exactly the bombardment was coming from. Reports from outside said that strange stones charged with glowing green energy were raining down, stones that did not merely shatter on impact but burst apart with tremendous force. Explosions be damned this was tons of rock hurtling in every direction at high speed, it was cleaving through the buildings that remained, further hammering our meagre shelters - and threatening the Genesis Engine.

Before we had countered every theat, our own crafted champions were defending the city at this very moment. Between the low booms we could hear the high pitched screech of the Steed and the burbling howl of the Krakenwulf, the grinding thrum of the Highway and the bellowing scream of the Hunter Killer. Blood and Ichor flowed and light flashed. But it was not enough, even if our own defeated the howling titans outside we could scarcely expect them to assail whatever it was that shelled us incessantly, especially with the recently revealed looming danger of the Shade.

Word came of something in the hills outside the city. A living rock, chewing stone and bombarding us with energy infusing what passed through its internal systems. Aerial support is what was needed here. Something that could traverse the distance at speed, and distract Mortarus while our own wounded titans closed the distance and brought the fight to it directly. The damage was mounting, it was clear that there would need to be repairs to the Engine after this, and something else had become paramount, we needed to be able to move the Genesis Engine somehow. But for the moment we were scanning our files. There had to be something that could fly in our arsenal. We had several options on file but not a bird of prey was compatible with our available volunteers. But there, a single match - it would not be a bird but a bat.

Sparks flew and rubble had begun to fall from the ceiling. We almost hurled the academy volunteer into the engine and engaged the Genesis Engine. Circuits blew and fires erupted, the lights went out, and a thrumming bellow echoed from the Engine.

And a titan on leather wings took to the sky.

Took a few liberties, gave it a grainy filter because the series is from early color TV days and I find it fun to do that sometimes. Tried to make Gleep and Gloop a little bit see-through because I thought it might be fun, but I should probably look up tutorials on how to be more effective at that.

"No one was using these characters at the time I painted this.  They weren’t even in regular rotation on Cartoon Network at the time. I talked Warner Bros. into letting me do this huge image, even though I was unfamiliar with many of the characters."

-- ALEX ROSS (American comic-book artist/writer/painter) on his "Hanna-Barbera" piece
