Scott Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Scott is an actor, and he has landed the role of Korak, son of Tarzan, in a movie from the Lara Croft movie franchise.  

Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Lara Croft is the main protagonist of the video-game franchise Tomb Raider.  She is a highly intelligent, athletic, and beautiful English archaeologist who ventures into ancient tombs and hazardous ruins around the world.  She starred in big-budget blockbuster films in 2001, 2003, and 2018.  

In this movie, the Tomb Raider is the star, and the son of Tarzan is her handsome sidekick.  After demonstrating his jungle abilities by defeating a villainous mercenary in a fight, Korak falls for the charms of a mysterious vixen, who throws the young hero to a carnivorous plant.  Fortunately, the Tomb Raider is around to rescue him.

The seven-picture series "Korak and the Femme Fatale" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2020.  Three pictures are available here.

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
