Jarod - The Heir of Thunder


This is the comic character that I have been developing for years. Unfortunately I never have time to really finish it. Oh BTW his name is Jarod. It derives from the word Jarot which means nucleus in Javanese.

Though his name was taken from Javanese word, the story was actually inspired by a legend in my family that originates from North Sumatra. Through out generation, we were advised not to swear on our offspring by the name of thunder. We were told that it would happen instantly because our ancestor, Balige Raja, once defeated the thunder in a fight. The thunder had sworen to obey whatever commanded by the offsprings of my ancestor.

We were also told that the earliest of our ancestor was a wise woman. She had talked a tiger into giving up its anger towards the villagers of Kampong Sihombing. She was the only one who knew the reason why that tiger was in rage. The tiger had also sworn to obey her offspring.

With these two legend, I created Jarod who commands tigers and thunder. Sounds like my imaginary life, isn't it?

Animate it, learn Flash and animate it and put it out on the web at Newgrounds.com and on your site. Draw the stories you told. If it goes no where at least it is out of your system and will always live online.

quite unique. you should put the (hi)story of your ancestor + Jarod into a movie script, then send it to Hollywood. they'll make a movie based on your 'true' story. my suggestion: digital animation for Jarod character.
