Scott Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Scott is an actor who played the role of Korak, son of Tarzan, in a Lara Croft movie.  

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.

In the previous movie, the son of Tarzan served as Lara Croft's handsome sidekick, who was able to defeat a villainous mercenary in a fight but fell for the charms of a mysterious vixen, who offers the young hero to a carnivorous plant.  Korak is now ready to embark on his own adventures.  

In this series, the son of Tarzan is introduced to the champ and his girlfriend on a safari to take pictures in Africa.  Our young hero observes the champ's girlfriend wandering outside of camp after dark.  The champ's girlfriend welcomes the attention and wants to show the handsome youth how much.  However, Korak believes that he must maintain a certain level of professionalism as a jungle guide.  The champ's girlfriend is not impressed.

The multi-picture series "Korak and the Champ" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2021.  Six 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.
