Thundercats - Slythe

Description

Happy Monday, folks!

Work is keeping me busy as usual, but this week continues to be focused on a lot of coloring, so the warming-up continues in that trend.

Having drawn almost all of the main team members of the Thundercats and their wise and ghostly mentor, it was about time I gave some of the same love and attention to the antagonists. Hence, this week will be all about the villains of the show, starting with our favorite reptilian leader, Slithe.
Out of all the mutants from Plundarr, this is the one I loved the most. All of them had their merits, of course, but Slithe was always the most cunning of the bunch and I liked the fact that he was so bulky and almost dinosaur-like. One of the sequences that sold me on the old cartoon was the boarding action when the mutants try to hijack the Thundercats' spaceship and subsequently damage it; really cool stuff and you get to see the rivalry between these two groups. That's one of the details that i think made this story all the more intrguing: there were hints everywhere about a larger, more complex mythology that they didn't touch upon but seemed to exist. The two races were obviously ancient and had been at war, which really fired up the imagination as to what had happened before the events depicted. We got some of that background exploration in the 2011 version of the felines, but sadly, that also ended abruptly.

So, without further ado, here's my offering for today and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your constant support as usual and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Nic.-
