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.

The 6-picture series "Dorno and the Buccaneer by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2020.  

It was inspired by an episode from the second season in 1981.  In "The Buccaneer", Zandor stops the pirates from digging for buried treasure in a geologically sensitive location.  In retaliation, the Buccaneer takes Zandor's son Dorno hostage.  Ultimately, Dorno is rescued, and the Buccaneer is defeated by the Herculoids.  However, in this version, more focus is given to Dorno's capture, and, having escaped the Herculoids, the Buccaneer must decide what to do with his hostage.

These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.

Korak in Wakanda 4 Alternate

 

Korak in Wakanda 11.5 by TheRaytrix

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.

Black Panther's real name is T'Challa, king and protector of the fictional African nation of Kakanda.  Along with possessing enhanced abilities achieved through ancient Wakandan rituals of drinking the essence of the heart-shaped herb, T'Challa also relies on his proficiency in science, rigorous physical training, hand-to-hand combat skills, and access to wealth and advanced Wakandan technology to combat his enemies.  He is the hero of various Marvel comic book series, starting in 1973, a 2010 animated television series, and a blockbuster 2018 film, and a major character in various films, television series, and comic-book series.

Korak strives to emulate his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is both more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

Korak attempts to avoid authorities of the mysterious nation of Wakanda, being without a passport, visa, or other travel documents.  However, the son of Tarzan has been successfully tracked by the Black Panther.  His next choice to fight, rather than flight, turns out to be a poor decision.  As a result, he found himself a prisoner of the Black Panther in Wakanda.

This multi-part series "Korak in Wakanda" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2020.  One picture plus 12 sketches can be found here.  The original version had a much worse fate for Korak.

As much as I love seeing Korak in trouble, I prefer to imagine that he remains alive so that he can get into more trouble in the future.

Hulk is the alter ego of physicist Dr. Bruce Banner.  Following his accidental exposure to gamma rays during the detonation of an experimental bomb, Banner is physically transformed into the Hulk when subjected to emotional stress, at or against his will, often leading to destructive rampages.  He is the hero of his own Marvel comic books series, debuting in 1962, various animated television series, beginning in 1966, a live-action television series in 1978, and various television movies, starting in 1988, and feature films, starting in 2003.  He was a founding member of the Avengers.

Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

Encountering the mild-mannered Dr. Banner during a walk, the rich and handsome son of Lord Greystoke has no idea what he had done to cause the Incredible Hulk to emerge.  Refusing to be placated by the young hero, the green monster now begins playing with his new toy.

The multi-part series "Korak and Bruce Banner by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2020.  Four more are available here.  Although Korak is a peak human teen-aged jungle hero, he is facing a larger, stronger opponent with superpowers.

Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.  Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.

Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo, which their opponents often seek to exploit.  Robin is also cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman.  He is often in trouble and in need of rescue.

Darth Vader is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, a science fiction movie series which debuted in 1977.  Vader was the primary antagonist in the first three films and, as Anakin Skywalker, the primary protagonist in the next three films, set a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

In this whimsical fantasy, Robin goes one-on-one against a visitor from a galaxy far, far away.  With his speed, spirit, and home planet advantage, the cocky Boy Wonder feels confident that he will prevail.  Meanwhile, the Sith lord aims to teach the young earth sidekick a lesson.

The five-picture series "Up Through the Darkness" was commissioned from the artist jackcrowder through DeviantART in 2020.  

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".  Darth Vader was introduced as a potential antagonist.  This is an original scene and did not appear in the television series, or any other derivative material.

Tommy is an original character whom I share with the artist JarvannIV at DeviantART.   He is a teen lifeguard who prefers to be called Tom. 

Tommy was about to end his shift as a lifeguard at the swimming pool when he was surprised by a burglar.  The burglar thought it would be amusing for a lifeguard to drown in his own swimming pool.

The four-picture series "Teen Lifeguard in Fear of Drowning" was one that I commissioned from JarvannIV in 2020.  Three pictures are available here.
