Dorno and Zandorna 2 by roemesquita |
Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the
Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet. The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Due to his youth and his lack of special powers, Dorno is certainly one of the most vulnerable members of the Herculoids and is frequently a weak link which their opponents seek to target. He is often in trouble and in need of rescue.
Although Dorno is the son of Zandor, he has little in common with his father, aside from their pageboy haircuts and their blue, shirtless outfits. He lacks his father's red hair, stern countenance, and powerful, muscular build.
Dorno tends to resemble his mother Tara. Like her, the boy has blond hair, a pretty face, and a slender, athletic build. When the time comes, Dorno may be unable to succeed in continuing the strong leadership that his father has provided.
The 2-part picture series "Dorno and Zandorna by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.
Zandorna is a cousin of Dorno from Zandor's side of the family. She shares Zandor's red hair and powerful, muscular build. Apparently, Zandorna has developed a crush on the shirtless pretty boy Dorno. While he attempts to ignore his visiting cousin, Zandorna tries to get the attention of the cute, blond, athletic son of Zandor through physical challenges, at which she tends to prevail.
These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno. I introduced Zandorna as a potential antagonist and love interest. These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.
