In the two decades from 1984 to 2004 several artists and writers worked on the
Tantri series at different times. Ajit Vasaikar who succeeded Dongre as artist
shared Shakespeare's view that villains should have a ‘lean and hungry look’. He
changed Tantri’s appearance beyond recognition, turning him into a beanpole.
Hooja took on a beefy appearance and lost his air of innocence. The next artist,
Anand Mande, continued in the same vein, but gave both men longer, fleshier
noses and better headgear.
Another radical change in the physical appearance of the protagonists occurred
towards the end of the 1990s when Savio Mascarenhas became the main artist for
the series. Savio gave both Tantri and Hooja a facelift, and reduced the difference
in their heights to practically nil. Savio had other commitments and was pressed
for time, especially when he started illustrating the Shikari Shambu comics
episodes. In 2000, the editors decided to hand over the responsibility of illustrating
the Tantri series to Prachi Killekar. Prachi made a faltering start, confused by the
different representations of Hooja and Tantri she had to choose from, but
eventually came up with their present forms.
She continues to be the illustrator for the series.
