Tiger-Streak 01 - Zeus



I was cleaning up files on my computer and dug up old drawings of a superhero team I created back in college called Tiger-Streak. Basically Tiger-Streak is a Teen Titans-esque superhero team composed of young inexperienced superheroes who are taken under the mentorship of a retired veteran superhero, Tiger-Man. The most fun part for me about Tiger-Streak is that pretty much every character in the story is based on one of my friends from my college track team. Couldn’t resist drawing them again in my current style.


So here is the first member of the team, Jon Sealander aka Zeus. Originally I imagined Jon was just a non-magical superhuman who obtained lighting manipulation and absorption powers from some kind of mutation, but upon revisiting him I think he should actually be connected to the Zeus of Greek myth. Perhaps due to some treachery up on Olympus, Zeus ended up banished to earth in the form of a young man with his memories altered to believe he was just a mortal. Under the alias of Jon, he lived a normal life until one day he discovered his super powers and began using them to fight crime. Although Jon has discovered his powers he still hasn’t recovered his memories as Zeus and has some difficulty controlling his them. Tiger-Man quickly recognized Zeus’ potential to be a great superhero and took him under his wing to help teach him control. Zeus’ signature superpower is the generation and manipulation of lightning, but he also boasts superhuman strength, endurance, durability, and speed, and the ability to shape-shift into an eagle. As a nod to his eagle form, and the god Zeus’ sacred animal, I added an eagle design to his mask. Below is an old sketch of Zeus and another Tiger-Streak hero from the 2010s.

Botamon and Koromon

 Botamon and Koromon. I've been in a big Digimon mood lately. A few months ago I started collecting and playing the Digimon Card Game and I've been rewatching the Digimon Adventure Tri movies.




ARSENAL vs. CITY

 Quick illustration I did of Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola in anticipation of the big game last Wednesday.
