Hello, everybody. Antoni here, and I have hit another DeviantArt milestone. I have just reached the 500-watcher mark with, you all guessed it, exactly 500 watchers. It felt really surreal that, in the past four months, I have ended up acquiring almost an additional one-hundred watchers, which I never expected would happen to me let alone expect. Therefore, I am grateful to each and everyone of you who have kept up with me throughout the three years and eight months I have been here on DeviantArt. As expected, I dedicate my collage to all of you as a sign of my utmost gratitude and as a sign of the works I have enjoyed doing during my tenure as an artist specialising in fan art.
When it comes to my favourite musclemen of animation and comics, I could never go wrong with Conan and Zula from Conan the Adventurer, Marvel's Ka-Zar, the comics version of Tarzan, Kavandavanda, Malb'yat, and Arok, Doodle of Doom's Fernando the hero, Psicom's Init-Init and Bernardo Carpio, George of the Jungle, Disney's Hercules, Maugli from The Adventures of Maugli, and my favourite Waziri brothers of all time, Basuli and Tarzan from, of course, Disney's Tarzan. I also enjoy Grunch the Caveman from Droopy: Master Detective because of how much more love he needs. Why do I bring these mighty musclemen up? Because I had wonderful headcanons in store for them.
Where the Disney version of Tarzan is concerned, he is Basuli's most favourite younger brother of all time, thus making Basuli and Tarzan absolutely lovable as a pair of handsome, mighty, and powerful Waziri jungle warrior brothers raised by their single dad, Chief Keewazi. Aside from Basuli and Tarzan being the most awesome pair of brothers the African jungle has ever seen, they share their fraternal love with Fernando, Init-Init, Bernardo, George of the Jungle, and their most favourite younger brother of all time, Maugli, thus forming a tight brotherly bond who are always there for each other to the point where they would create a mighty muscle wall by flexing their bulging biceps to ward off poachers and many other evil-doers while combining their bulging muscles with their skills as wrestlers, boxers, and Pankration practitioners. Grunch the Caveman is also the Waziri brothers' best friend for life and is just as loyal to them. Basuli's and Tarzan's romantic lives are just as loving, considering that Basuli is married to Namontack and Tarzan is married to Kocoum, and both have been raising strong families of their own. Their best friend/lover, Hercules, contributes so handsomely to Basuli's and Tarzan's love life because of the kisses, cuddles, and canoodles he receives from his two most favourite jungle brothers of all time, with Namontack, George, Kocoum, and Maugli joining in all the loving embraces, passionate kisses, and boundless closeness. You could not ask for anything better than Basuli's and Tarzan's lives being showered by a multitude of platonically fraternal love through Grunch, Fernando, Init-Init, Bernardo, George, and Maugli and romantically intimate love through their respective husbands, Namontack and Kocoum, and their lover, Hercules, thus radiating in that virile beauty, love, and harmony.
Do not think that I am skimping on the comics version of Tarzan because he also has his moments of fraternal love with Conan, Ka-Zar, Zula, Kavandavanda, Malb'yat, and Arok. Their daily routine would consist of bodybuilding pose-downs, weightlifting, wrestling, and comparing each others' bulging muscles by making their pecs bounce, flexing their bulging biceps, and feeling each others' muscles. Their competitive relationship with each other has also inspired them to create their own jungle gym to help fellow warriors live out to their true potential. When their days are done, Conan, Ka-Zar, Zula, Tarzan, Kavandavanda, Malb'yat, and Arok would wrap each other up in a warm, fraternal, loving embrace through their well-build bodies before going to bed. Their virile brotherhood is brimming with so much beauty and sexiness to the nines even to the point they pass it down to their favourite progenies Korak, Dick, and Doc.
Heading to the rising sun are my favourite characters as well as couples from Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain, and Texhnolyze. My Inuyasha AU has Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha form a loving relationship with Ayame, with Sesshoumaru being a supportive older brother-in-law/first love/former crush to Ayame and Inuyasha being Ayame's lawfully wedded husband, an awesomely dynamic fraternal relationship with Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, and be strong surrogate older brothers to Shunran. Together, Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran are known as The Splendid Seven who use their collective strength, power, and might as yokai warriors to take down foes while sticking together as a mighty family. With their best friends for life in the forms of Ichise, Kiba, Ran, and Cheza, Shuran's eldest son, Kohaku, and Sesshoumaru's second eldest daughter, Rin, they form a formidable family strong enough to give the Von Trapps, the Huxtables, the Bankses, the Winslows, the McCallisters, the Drummonds, and the Conners a run for their money. In this family, there exists various forms of love from Sesshoumaru's, Shuran's, and Hakkaku's iron-clad fraternal relationship to the healthy romantic relationships found in the perseverance of Inuyasha x Ayame, the beauty of Ginta x Shunran, the genuineness of Ichise x Ran, the warmth of Kiba x Cheza, and the lovability of Kohaku x Rin. Furthermore, Ayame's relationship with her older brother-in-law/first love/former crush Sesshoumaru is just as supportive and loving as well as Shunran's equally loving relationship with her older brother, Shuran, and her most favourite older brother-in-law, Hakkaku. Any way you slice it, The Splendid Seven definitely have a superb familial relationship with their friends and their progeny, thus preserving the tradition of togetherness throughout the generations.
The Splendid Seven and their most trusted progeny, Kohaku and Rin, also work phenomenally well when they are in an African jungle setting, thus demonstrating that Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta can be mighty, muscular, and powerful jungle kings and Ayame and Shunran can be fierce, sexy, and courageous jungle queens, with Kohaku and Rin being just as mighty as a jungle king and a jungle queen. Sesshoumaru may be the jungle high priest who conducts sacrificial rituals and wedding ceremonies, but he could also implement his combat skills to defeat all of his foes and be just as much of a jungle king as Inuyasha and Ayame, who are the king and queen of the jungle. Aside from Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and Ayame bearing prominent titles as the high priest, king, and queen of the jungle, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran are just as integral to making this jungle family fierce respectively as the bodyguard, the messenger, the captain of the guard, and the peacekeeper of the jungle. When you have jungle warrior kings as super strong, potently powerful, and magnificently muscular as Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, and Ginta, jungle warrior queens as fabulously fierce, formidably ferocious, and fantastically flexible as Ayame and Shunran, a jungle warrior prince as handsome, formidable, and determined as Kohaku, and a jungle warrior princess as agile, gorgeous, and spirited as Rin, you better make sure you do not mess with their jungle home lest you be at the mercy of the jungle kings' mighty chokeholds, bear-hugs, neck-breakers, and back-breakers that could make lions and gorillas jealous, the jungle queens' punches, kicks, and clinches enough to make leopards envious, Kohaku's Full Nelsons and Boston Crabs, and Rin's roundhouse kicks and uppercuts. These jungle warriors even have roars huge enough to make lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards run for cover. Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, Shunran, Kohaku, Rin, and all of their families are ready for a good fight with their muscles, bare hands, super strength, fleet feet, and incomparable combat skills to keep their jungle safe from perpetrators.
Mighty muscles, fierce combat prowess, muscular virility on the men, and fierce formidability on the women may define these warriors from Africa to Japan, but what has brought them together is the togetherness of the family and never giving up on each other. They will always have each others' backs forever and evermore until the end of time. In fact, I will never give up on creating fan art for you all even when situations get very tough. So, thank you so much for putting up with my craziness and for sticking with me through the past three years and eight months. I also hope that my fan art collage has given you a greater idea of what I love, specialise in, and enjoy the most, thus inspiring you in effect. For those of you who are new to my DeviantArt, I also hope you can support me by watching me and faving whatever you like on my gallery.
I hope you all enjoyed this fan art collage, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and thank you for the support, everybody.
