Do you think I should draw the others like this too 😆?

Does anyone think Tygra is maybe lonelier and more hungry for answers/finding some kind of meaning after the destruction of Thundera because he's the only ThunderCat whose clan originates from Asia? Everyone else can trace the type of cat/what clan they are back to Africa, but not him. It's one thing to be one of the last of your kind, the last of your clan, it's yet another to be the last from your entire continent.

Not only is he isolated by being effectively the leader of the ThunderCats until Lion-O is grown, he also, beyond being from the same planet, might not even have the same or similar cultural background than the rest of his fellow survivors. Assuming Thundera's various feline clans mapped out similarly on their world as their real cat equivalents do on Earth.

One of the best quotes in the entire show comes from him "Because it is our tradition... It gives our lives form, tells us who we are and what we must do." from Lion-O's Trial of Mind Power. It's obviously an incredibly important theme for the Thundercats as a small band of genocide survivors but it's extra potent coming from him.

Thundercats Redesign

Wilykit:*imitating Y/n* oooh thank you my hero!

Y/n: hey I didn't say that!

Wilykit: not quiiiite...

Wilykat:and then THEY KISSED!

LIon-O and Y/n:WE DIDN'T!

Wilykat:and lived happily ever after!

*talking at the same time*

Y/n: nah nanananananah, we are totally not campatible, I mean I'm not even from this world what are you saying?!

Lion-O: we are totally different, we are just friends! Stop assuming things like these!

*observing*

Cheetara: they look adorable...

Tygra: I bet that they'll kiss in a month.

Of all the fanart I’ve seen of Panthro, I never see one with hair. In true 80’s fashion, I gave him a Mohawk/mullet situation that I think really suits him. Personally, I wish they didn’t make him that grayish blue and the large ears make him more bat-like than cat. (Lowkey, I always thought it was weird that he basically looks bald lol) I also gave him a crooked nose because there’s no way that he’s a marshal artist and hasn’t lost his fair share of fights.

Fun fact: Panthers are actually jaguars/ leopards with melanism!

I also have some sketches of a younger Lion-O if anyone is interested ☺️

I have a lot of really hyper specific headcanons about Thunderian culture— a primary one is of Thunderians being a very social people and how that effects the way their society functions

Close ups under the cut

Still so sad it was cancelled.
