Young Taranis by Tavis Cardenas.

Awhile back, had designed a great alternate look for My character TARANIS THE THUNDERLORD (seen here: fav.me/dct93e8 ). It’s a look I really liked, but I didn’t see it as something he’d wear at this time. But then I had an idea...

...it VERY much looked like something he might have worn in his youth. And so, I commissioned to draw him in his much younger days, when the gods of the ancient Celts were themselves young, and the Children of Danu had not yet settled on their mystical home of Tir na nOg. These are the days when a young would-be Thunder godling would leap between the branches of the tree of life, hurtling thunderbolts down to the lush forest floor, laughing all the while.

HUGE thanks to both those gentlemen for making this possible. Thanks, guys!!
