Well, as promised on today's journal update [link] - the "Disney Heroes" are back!!!


And to kick it off again, here is - (does he really needs an introduction?!) ----> Tarzan!!!

This time around I was going for something a little different. I knew the character of Tarzan deserves a dramatic touch for it to be part of the "Heroes Collection". Starting this I thought that an 'ape-like' pose such as in the movie would be too obvious of a choice... So, instead of all this I reversed it all. Thought I'd have Tarzan standing in a very 'static-like' pose, almost straight in-front of 'the camera', and to have the dramatic effect he needs I decided to go and give a very strong contrast lightning on his face and body...

And to add a little extra edge to the whole thing, I added the necklace and the scratches on his chest. think of them as a tattoo ;)

I'm very pleased with this one, and I would like to dedicate it to my wonderful friend :iconjaneckb: as a return on her awesome gift she gave me a few months ago! I sure hope you'll like it! :hug:
