wow… that pretty much covers a few story plots for the next few issues we plan on making. impressive
Merged Post:
very much agree with your point and since the show didn’t develop her character much, the writers here can come up with a story arc to better develop her.
Oh! I have a sketched-out ephiphany for Cheetara’s backstory.
Nice. When can we see it?
I think the best thing to do is to email it instead. I had it thought out now, but it sounds a little risky to do that.
Aw, to heck with it! Who’s going to steal it?
Well, the orphan idea just seems beaten to death. What I was thinking for backstory is that her own parents kicked her out and disowned her. Cheetara was trying to live up to her parent’s expectations, but was overshadowed by her siblings being better than her at everything. So, she tries so hard to please her parents, but something happened that got them so fuming, they kicked her out of her home. She feels like she has no purpose in life now. So, she became fascinated and admired the clerics. They stood for something greater and it would give her a reason to live by serving the royal crown that would perhaps please her parents. But unfortunately, that hope doesn’t come. She was on a peg if she couldn’t join the clerics. She had no where else to go! No one to go home to. That was what drove her determination. Jaga now becomes more of a father figure for Cheetara as she grows up. Her level of pleasing others is gone, but she desires to help them in whatever way she can. Cheetara hides her stronger emotions deeper because of her discipline and maturity as a cleric.
That idea could work. Perhaps it could even explain some of her behavior. If she was neglected and scorned a lot as a child, maybe Cheetara acts very encouraging and nurturing and touchy as a reaction against that. She wants to feel close to everyone.
Very true.
Meanwhile I’m bored and hammy, PLEASE PM me the rest of “With Power and Pride” if ya don’t wanna release it online! I’M B-O-R-E-D!
I’m actually starting a new fanfic that has a completely different premise. It’s basically what would have happened if Lion-O would have heard Pumyra when she was trapped under the ruins and would have rescued her instead.
Good for you!
Oh good! This idea may also require to make OCs of her mother, father, and siblings. I was thinking she would be the middle child of three kittens. This may take some time to marinate on the ideas of why she was kicked out and what was she neglected for. I was thinking perhaps maybe her running ability wasn’t that good, but that can be debated back and forth.
Also, I believe the artist(s) of this fan comic, whoever is officially decided upon making the comic, may love to “draw” some inspiration from the runners during the 2012 Olympics for Cheetara’s design.
The Olympics were pretty awesome this year.
last night, i started sketching some of the thundercat characters. i have completed some basic sketches of liono and tygra. i was told by a few on this thread to keep the designs still relatively close to the NS series and that i did. i also kind of incorporated a little of the OS designs on both liono and tygra. it isn’t a big change but i just basically altered the markings on the NS faces of liono and tygra to look like their OS counterparts marking. i also changed liono’s hairstyle to look a bit like tygras but still be different. any kind of critic is welcomed so feel free. i am having trouble uploading the sketches…it seems to be a bit too small for viewing. so any assistance for fixing this problem will be appreciated.
I’m surprised this project may show some progress. Hope you guys can do it! 
That’s really, REALLY good! That’s exactly what I envisioned!
Well…er…um…I like the Final Fantasy haircut look on Lion-o better and Tygra looks a wee bit young. Other than that, they look good! Think you can do Panthro? He’s going to be older and have much more muscle mass.
I hope that feedback is okay. I know you must have worked very hard on this.^^() Critiques can be a nightmare.

i created a deviantart account so i can upload the sketches for better viewing. now these sketches were done using a bit of my style of drawing and also heavily imitating the NS style too. i wasn’t trying to stray from the design and look of the NS. so any feedback will be welcomed because i can always change things up if the majority doesn’t like it. i am also currently working on other characters too and they will be uploaded soon.
Cool. I’ll keep an eye on it.
You know the best place to get a critique when you don’t have a premium membership, HeMan? Forums and groups. There are Thundercats groups and people on forums that will give you feedback and critiques.
Great artwork on Lion-O and Tygra. :3
I like your art style and I think you can really capture the look of the show, HeMan. I would prefer it if the characters kept the same facial markings though. To me they just seem like different people with the different pattern. Tygra does look a little too young. The hair on Lion-O looks fine though.
