Another King Crowned

Whew...  Yet another series done!  This time 50 panels in total -- a pretty nice, even number that I promise I didn't plan ahead of time!

Ever since I began Barbaric Brawn, I had wanted to do a Tarzan series, but... well... take a look at my early stuff and you could see that I wouldn't have been able to do the ape man justice.  Flash forward several months, and I think that I've gotten okay enough to have given him a shot.

I was surprised by how nice this one became.  It isn't nearly as perfect as I'd like it to be, but I'm happy with how the setting and (more often than not) the lighting came out.  I can probably place a majority of the credit to the updated rendering engine I'm now using.

When I was first drafting the storyline, I didn't originally plan to have Kondo, Njau, and Zuberi come back.  But since the software allowed it, I brought them in and let them help Jabari stick it to Tarzan.  I don't usually do double-teaming (or in this case quadruple-teaming), so that was a fun challenge.

I hope you guys enjoyed this one!  I'll be around, posting new single images here and there while I think up a new story.  If you're hungry for more Tarzan action in the meanwhile, be sure to check out Wildjuba's awesome work over at BAM Men.  There's also the superb art of Herodotus which is hosted by the equally great Telemachus.

I'll see you guys later!  Feel free to leave me a comment here and let me know what you thought!

    1. I'm glad to hear that, thanks! And a more recent version of 3Delight, which comes with the 3D studio I use. There have been a lot of optimizations and updates to it compared to the version I'd been using before this series.

  3. Splendid King-size jungle action. Looking forward to the rematch, always rooting for Tarzan to triumph and pound those mighty pecs in victory. That bonus panel image...amazing. Huge Gordon Scott fan here, and your story went in directions I wish his movies had gone. Definitely more challenges for the incomparable jungle muscle man please.

    1. Thank you very much! Wow, this one was a long time ago.

      To be honest, Tarzan likely won't be winning very many battles here, but he definitely could someday! Always a chance. I love the big ape man and will absolutely be doing more with him in the future. Thanks for your comment!
