KH1 is the only KH game with a Tarzan level, however KH2 is more fun >.> (also please clap since I basically ended up doing the entire Frieren weird head angle emotional arc when drawing Tarzan here)

#tarzan #frankenstein cover art of their brief crossover published by Dark Horse, part of the Tarzan “Le Monstre” series

#retro #comics
Le Monstre : The Modern Prometheus issue #1 of 2 cover art, Tarzan, wearing only his loincloth and armed with his knife and bow and arrow, sits on a stone gargoyle high on a tower somewhere in Europe* *I’m pretty sure he’s in Europe here, feel free to correct me if wrong because I mainly only remember this arc is placed within the year gap where he isn’t married to Jane yet (and he was traveling in between the US and Europe in this time) Le Monstre: The Modern Prometheus issue 2 of 2 cover art Tarzan swings into a lab and crashes mightily into glassware, his monkey friend Nkima in tow

#tarzan oh I almost forgot there was a Tarzan / Frankenstein crossover miniseries back in the day

#frankenstein #comics
Tarzan Le Monstre comic Frankenstein arc - “the modern Prometheus” Frankenstein: “that miserable THING that now feeds the fire could have been *my brother.* Tarzan: “then you were *dead*…and *now* you are *ALIVE*!” Frankenstein: “I did not exist, alive or dead, until Frankenstein sewed together a hand of hair, a piece of bone, and scraps of dead-man’s flesh! …And as my unnatural life began, his natural life ended. He was a haunted, tortured man to the end.”

That time I mashed my fandoms together and used a Linktober prompt for Tarzan art (repost Nov 2024)

#tarzan #disney #disneyfanart
Text: Linktober ‘24 Day 1 - “Mirror” Remix of the scene from Tarzan (1999) where young Tarzan looks sadly at his reflection, with his face covered in mud, but this time adult Tarzan sits somberly in the water with him, to both comfort his younger self and sit with his own feelings of a pull between human and ape worlds. Young Tarzan crouches, huddled in on himself while older Tarzan places a comforting arm around his shoulders.

“Close your eyes. Now forget what you see. What do you feel?”

—my continuous mantra while figuring out a way to draw these two in a way that makes me really *feel* like it’s *them*

#Tarzan #Disney
Two headshot sketches, the left shows Jane looking up, concerned. Her hair is redesigned in a shorter look that ends just before her shoulders. The right shows Tarzan looking pensive.

“Tarzan Triumphs” (1943) Wikipedia synopsis

(For context, Cheetah is a chimpanzee.)

3/3
In the final scene, Cheetah speaks into the radio; the Germans in Berlin mistake Cheetah's sounds for the rants of Adolf Hitler.

Burne Hogarth’s “Tarzan versus the Nazis” arc

#TarzanThursday

2/3
“Tarzan versus the Nazis” cover art for a book collection of Tarzan comics by artist Burne Hogarth “Tarzan versus the Nazis” back cover art for a book collection of Tarzan comics by artist Burne Hogarth Text: “World War II - Axis forces entered Africa in 1940, so it was only a matter of time before Tarzan, the son of a British aristocrat, would oppose them. So did series writer Don Garden, who left the strip during wartime to serve with the military. Thus Burne Hogarth took on the writing, and ‘Tarzan’ came to wholly represent his explosive artistic vision.”

The Lord and his Lovers

Very early post for #TarzanThursday

#Disney #Tarzan #MyArt #sketch
Tarzan, wearing his outfit from his time on Clayton’s ship, speaks animatedly with a hybrid form of Beast / Prince Adam. Adam’s large hand rests in Tarzan’s shoulder. Tarzan rests in the lap of Hercules, who holds him from behind and gazes warmly down at him. Eric, sitting on the floor, also looks up at Tarzan with a smile and gently, affectionately holds Tarzan’s leg with both hands. Shang leans his weight on Hercules and also gives Tarzan an affectionate look. Lastly, Milo holds Tarzan’s free hand and kisses his calloused knuckles with reverence.

Pillion summary bothered me so much it yanked out of JayVik land and back into my self indulgent AU where I make a bunch of the other Disney guys give Tarzan all the love and care that I can’t

Pillion synopsis genuinely bothered me so had to draw some actual loving, emotionally connected vibes as a cleanser

#wip #disney #tarzan
Sketch of Tarzan leaning back against Hercules’ chest and chatting with Prince Adam (in a hybrid beast design, with his horns and animal ears, and long shaggy hair obscuring his face). Adam, Hercules, and Shang gaze at Tarzan with adoration. Adam’s large hand is visible resting on Tarzan’s shoulder.

My worries are soothed by a happy Jayce (and so are Viktor’s)

#jayvik #arcane
Postcanon Jayce laughing, his eyes squeezed shut in joy, while Viktor watches him lovingly, smiling too. Viktor is wearing his glasses so he can see that smile on his husband even more clearly. Postcanon happy weight Viktor again

Gave postcanon Jayce a little braid this time bc I think Viktor would take great joy in tying it for him and giving him a little kiss on the cheek when he’s done and telling him, “It is very pretty on you, Jayce” and Jayce would blush and giggle and kick his feet

More miscellaneous postcanon Vik with short hair / beard / dad bod practice + 1 postcanon Jayce

(I haven’t been very responsive to comments on here recently, sorry about that. Hoping to improve that after some upcoming life adjustments.)

#jayvik #arcane
Dad bod Viktor sketch with short hair and beard. He has a diamond shaped scar on his forehead, a large scar spreading outward on the center of his chest, and hexcorization scars on his cheeks. Behind him is Jayce, who wears his Arcane fingertips crown and has top surgery scars. His frame is slighter than Viktor’s and is reminiscent of his s1a1 look. Dad bod postcanon Viktor with short hair and beard. He is smiling slightly. He has wrinkles under his eyes from Jayce making him smile all the time. Postcanon Viktor with short hair, beard, a bit of a slighter dad bod, and wearing glasses with a little smirk.

Sketches exploring a postcanon dad bod Viktor concept…because he’s a dad!

Implied #jayvik #arcane #viktorarcane
Another Dad bod Viktor sketch, this time wearing a long shirt that’s open at the collar and there’s a bit of chest hair peeking out Two pencil sketches of post-canon Viktor, from hips upwards. The first is closer to his s1a2-a3 look, but with more muscle. The second has more of a dad bod, with larger biceps and a more padded torso. His hair is a bit shorter, and he has a short beard. Both are covered in body hair, and have a diamond-shaped scar on their foreheads and hexcorization scars on their cheeks. Skeet screenshot: Viktor can be the one to come home after chopping wood for hours, drenched in sweat, backlit by the morning sun as he stands in the cottage doorway, while Jayce rests. As a treat.

// Cw implied or referenced trans mpreg / pregnancy / childbirth / pregnant Jayce JayVik’s 4 kids according to Adam. The leftmost, Amara, is a young girl with long dark hair, large ears, and a diamond-shaped scar on the middle of her face. The smaller child in the middle, Jack, is a smiling young boy with dark hair in a short bob like young Viktor, and with a gap in his front teeth like Jayce. A small hexclaw is visible protruding upwards from his back. He holds JayVik’s third biological child, Jack, swaddled in his arms, a sleeping baby with light-colored hair touched by the Arcane, and with hexcorization markings on their cheeks. On the right is their third child overall, a taller boy, part Vastaya, with short light hair and rabbit ears. He leans his weight backwards on one hand, and in the other he loosely grips a cog.

Thank you for 100 followers! 💙

Here is a repost for #HexdadsWeek Day 5 - Magic / Resemblance

My take on postcanon JayVik’s 4 kids:

Each child has some kind of special ability, with each bio kid inheriting a trait of the Arcane Herald.

// Cw implied or referenced trans mpreg / pregnancy / childbirth / pregnant Jayce Colored sketch of Adam’s 4 JayVik kids. The first has Jayce’s tan skin and dark hair, with Viktor’s amber eyes. The second has Viktor’s light skin and brown hair, with Jayce’s hazel eyes. The child on the right has pink hair, brown eyes, and gray rabbit ears. The baby held in the middle is Arcane blonde and is swaddled in a blue and red blanket.

Repost for #HexdadsWeek Day 4 - Milestones

Amara has achieved her milestone of…very good grip strength! And also recognizing a symbol of her dads’ love for each other 🦋

This is a milestone for Viktor, too—

#jayvik #BottomJayceWinter #arcane #jaycepregnantweek
Post-canon Viktor carries he and Jayce’s new baby in a sling around his torso. His left hand rests on his cane while he cradles baby with his right arm. He gazes down at them adoringly while they look up at a butterfly floating nearby, one tiny fist in their mouth and the other clutching Viktor’s shirt collar. Viktor’s hair is short with lightened streaks closer to the nape of his neck, touched by the arcane. Hexcorization scars are visible on his cheek. His head is lowered so that his large nose bumps affectionately into his child’s hair. He says, “He carried you for nine months… Carrying you now so he can sleep is the least I can do, no?

// cw mpreg pregnancy implied childbirth pregnant Jayce Viktor tenderly strokes Jayce’s hair and kisses his cheek, while Jayce rests after his second birth. Jayce’s eyes are closed and he gives a tired, blissful smile, his heart full as he holds his second child swaddled in his arms and his husband showers him with affection. While Jayce is still resting, he shares a joyful kiss with Viktor. Viktor rests his forehead against Jayce’s and they gaze at each other with happy tears in their eyes at the growing of their little family. Viktor leans in close, resting his head against Jayce’s. Viktor cradles their first child, about 1 year old, who has thick dark hair and skin dotted with moles. She looks at her new sibling curiously while sucking her thumb. Jayce and Viktor also continue to sappily look at their second baby, still swaddled in Jayce’s arms. The back of a little head of dark hair is visible.
