Description
One Chieftain alone had hesitated before departing; I saw him standing in the shadows of a mighty column, his fingers nervously toying with the hilt of his great-sword and his cruel eyes bent in impacable hatred upon Tal Hajus. It was Tars Tarkas, and I could read his thoughts as they were an open book for the undisguised loathing upon his face...~ A Princess of Mars [96-97]
I accidentally draw him with a spear instead of a sword
I seem to have a thing for designs with four arms XD
... now to wait for the movie to come out... If it ever does! They've had it up at IMDB for years!
Tars Tarkas from 'A Princess of Mars' (C) Edgar Rice Burroughs 1912

Oh man! I'd love to see that fan art. So many under appreciated characters.!!
John Carter is my fave fictional character. Gave me the loves of Buck Rogers
Flash Gordon and the Comic Hero Adam Strange

John Carter is pretty awesome. 
After I read the first book, (and I was like, 15 at the time), I found out soon afterward that Burroughs also wrote Tarzan... and I was like, no way! XD
I haven't seen Buck Rogers, but he can't be bad if so many people love 'im.

I dunno how I feel about a John Carter movie though :\
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. We'll have to wait and see on that one. But, Disney's had their eyes on him since the beginning, so maybe they'll at least pay proper homage.

I dont think John Carter could be a PG 13 movie... Lots O nudity

Plus Tars' heart-breaking backstory. Hehe.
It would definitely have to be re-wrtitten a little for the little ones. But, if it's got a decent feeling to it, I'm okay.

I hope they cast a manly man for John Carter and not some prissy pretty boy.

Unfortunately tastes have changed since back then.

it's the whole twilight shit. People want their heroes to be femme boys. The days of Arnold, Chuck, Jackie, Clint, John Claude, and Sylvester is over. Now we got uh... that twilight loser, Matt Damon , Brad Pitt and like I dunno.. Harry Plopper

It's sad, really.
I don't mid a scrawny guy, but they also throw pasty makeup all over 'em these days. It's kinda gross.
I miss Arnold. XD

Wheee, Tars Tarkas! I love how you drew him!
You know, I always thought the tharks would look better using poleaxes and spears and such rather than swords anyway. >>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't the tharks use spears in the book? I thought they were crazy like, 40 ft. long or something XD

Now that you mention it, I'm sure you're right. Those were so badass! (I need to reread all my Mars literature...)
