Description
TCC = Tetsuko Cosplay CalendarSo I'm finishing up "Tara Attacks" [link] and it occurs to me that there will be more than a couple of requests
to see Amzot's first lady drawn with more muscularity - which would make sense, as at least a couple of the comments I've gotten on "Tara Attacks" point out: she's a human on a world of monsters who's always fighting off invaders, she'd have to be in excellent physical shape.Then I realize it's time to start work on the June TCC, and it reminded me of something Jack Burton always says: Jack Burton says "what the hell!" So... Tetsuko as Tara. It's a natural!

Man, that's an idea! Looking at J2001, it would be awesome to see Tetsuko dressed as Shampoo from Ranma 1/2.

All right! I guess Zandor won't have to worry about Tara needing protection anymore.

"I vaguely remember the Pirates of Dark Water series. It was unusual because of the fact the team of good guys were all elves. You had the hot-tempered platinum blonde prince, a fugitive trying to reclaim his throne. A dark-haired, cynical pirate that owned the ship the team voyaged on. And a young, dark-haired and feisty female elf who later found she was a 'water-mancer', i.e., she was able to use magics to make water obey her wishes. The artwork and animation was pretty good, but the story line was so confusing, I couldn't really follow the plot, Anyone else have info on this show?"
"OK, next time we read the instruction manual before we try to put the thing together..."

The only thing I remember about Pirates of Dark Water is that the female elf you mentioned was voiced by Jodie Benson, the voice of Disney's Little Mermaid. I never got to watch the show very often.

"Well, like I said, the plot of the blasted thing was so convoluted, I finally gave up watching it out of frustration. I was surprised the character's name was even remembered by anyone."

"A splendid rendition of Tara, my good sir! Enough muscle definition to portray the character as a strong, athletic warrior without overdoing the concept. I do have one point to make, however. Aren't the legs on Tundro a little short? I mean, as I recall the original and the '80s follow-up, the big guy could really haul tail when he charged. With those teeny legs, it looks like he can barely hold up his massive weight. A minor point, however; the rest of the portrait is excellent."

They seem the right length as I remember them.

"OK, maybe I'm looking at an angle that makes them seem shorter than they are. But I really believe the legs should be longer. An Earth rhino has a massive body, but some proportionately long and powerful legs to move that massive body at speeds up to 35 mph. It seems logical that Tundro, even with twice the number of legs, should have the same sort of proportions. And in that picture, he doesn't seem to have that."

Sexy Tetsuko and characters from one of my favorite childhood cartoon.
Awesome combo.

I'm particularly amused by Gloop's defiant smirk.
Oh, and T-chan/Tara's not bad-looking either.

I can't find any reference to a character named Tula in Thundarr the Barbarian. Which episode was she in?
I'm surprised you didn't suggest the sorceress Princess Ariel (who was one of the three main characters).

Don't know why Tula came out.

Maybe you were thinking of another character in another show? Tula is a good character name.

Yeah, I can't remember where I heard it from.

Isn't Tula Aquagirl's real name or am I mixing that up with someone else? I've heard that name before.

yeah it is but I heard that name on a TV show once also.

Tula was the name of the chick from "The Pirates of Dark Water" (or simply "Dark Water" in its initial five-episode run). If I had to guess, I'd say you're thinking of that one.
Perhaps Tetsuko will dress up as her sometime, with Niddler close behind bearing an "oh crap I hope I don't have to carry that around" look.

I believe Mr. Burton once said "I have paid my dues and the check is in the mail".

Jack Burton is a veritable fount of wisdom.
Thanks for the compliment. I'm particularly proud of how Tundro turned out.

I see those tiny stitches along the sides of her garment, and I keep thinking that it'd be great to see her yawn...

one of these days you really oughta consider making a calendar for selling, instead of once-a-month imagery.

I will... but I can't use copyrighted/trademarked characters (or their costumes) for it (which is why I'm doing these for no charge).
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Man, if you put any kind of non-copyrighted outfits on this body of her while giving her any kind of non-copyrighted nickname, we're gonna buy for sure

ooh, right, forgot about that detail. Good point, man.
