The Herculoids by
Nate Stockman
The first time I saw a Herculoids cartoon, I thought that they were the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I LOVED the alien creatures, and wanted to ride on both Tundro and Zok. Gloop & Gleep made me laugh, and I thought that Igoo could beat up anyone. I didn't really care about the humanoid family at first, because they looked so normal and I wanted strange-looking things! But I was quite jealous of any family who could live on an alien planet with such awesome creatures! Anyway, I've been wanting a Herculoids commission for a long time and have actually brought up the idea with a few different artists, but Nate was the first one I actually pulled the trigger with. Nate had a very deprived childhood apparently, because he had never seen a Herculoids cartoon before. I sent him reference images of the Herculoids and told him to hit YouTube in search of some of the classic episodes. I feel that Nate captured the characters perfectly on his first attempt and think that the team has never looked better! The creatures look intimidating and even Dorno looks like he's gonna put a hurting on someone. Anyway, I love this deeply and will be showing it off for years to come. Thanks again, Nate!
If you like this piece, then by all means go buy some of Nate's comics and/or commission him yourself.
