Description
Happy Thor's day, folks!
After a brief hiatus from posting yesterday due to work obligations, I managd to sneak some time before jumping onto proects to warm-up again in Barsoom. I've been very pleaseantly surprised at the reception these images have had and it has certainly pushed me to try my hand at doing some more characters.
After my last post featuring the great Tars Tarkas, I was tempted to tackle an image of the only kind and sympathetic green martian Mr. Carter would find outside of the aforementioned warrior: Tars' daughter Sola. Perhaps due to the more moderate nature of his father, Sola suffers in the company of other Tharks because of her quiet nature and compassion towards others, especially John, whom she helps adapt to life on Barsoom.
Depicting a green martian woman was certainly a challenge because I had to keep close to the tharks' basic anatomy but twisting it enough to make it recognasably female. And while E.R. Burroughs just states that the difference with thark men is that they have longer tusks and vestigial fingernails, I decided to add more touches to her femininity while keeping the tough nature of the species overall. I also loved to draw a quiet scene of her cleaning John's weapons in a very ritualistic manner, which shows a bit of her caring nature and focused mind.
As usual I hope you enjoy this one and I look forward to doing some more. There's even been suggestions that I should make a comic adaptation and while time does not allow it now, who knows? I certainly love the idea!
Thank you again for your constant support and see you soon!
