New Character Icons

[Walter]

This is where I will post new icons as I make them. You can choose these icons to be your avatar (the image of your persona on the BBS) by changing your profile with the button on the menu at the top.

9/19/01:

Rakushas:

Locus:

Naga (The armored guy has no name, but is referred to by the Kushans as Naga so...):

The above three icons were made so that I can now implement those new characters into the Character section of the FAQ. Look for their implementation sometime this weekend. (Though for regular readers of my site, and this BBS it wont be anything profoundly new of cource...)


More, just for fun:
Femto (alternate):

Femto (Alternate part II):

Guts (This was from an olllld postcard that Jin sent to me. Ill post it in the Renditions section also this weekend):

Griffith (alternate2):

Thats all for now! Enjoy.

...well, of these ones, Rakushas is for sure the best one...

;)

Rakushas:

I'd spell that name "Rakshas", as the Rakshas (or "Rasetsu", in Japanese) are demons of the Hindu mythology, and the Bakiraka clan seems to be inspired from that civilisation (their language sounds a lot like Sanskrit, for example).

Of course, I can't tell for sure, for that one... ^_^;
(and I'd really like to know how to spell "rokusu"  :-/ )

from my random mythology knowledge, aren't rakshasas feline shapeshifters that eat people?

rama and hanuman defeated the lord of rakshasas (whose name, for some reason, i can't remember) and that pretty much became rama's greatest deed

[Olivier_Hague]

Something like "night demon".

Eintrigga: Yeah, they're also called "Rakshasas" or "Raksasas", if I remember well.

 

[paradiselost]

...night demon...uhmmmmm...it could be really attinent...uhmmmmmm...

 

[floydboy]

this was the first time i saw the wiinie the pooh icon......LOL...o man was that funny (at least at the moment it was)...

as for the Rakshas it reminds me of "prying open my third eye"...kudos for anyone who can get that reference.

 

[aelka]

<--It's getting chilly around this time of year just standing around being naked Slann. Time to move on with some pathetic fuzzy coated freaks.

:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

 

[Olivier_Hague]

He reminds me of the Kaonashi from Spirited Away. ^_^;;;

 

[Walter]

When I first saw him he reminded me a lot of Kain from the first Tenchi Muyo film.

​

 

[Walter]

one more I forgot (yeah go figure...my least favorite new character...)

​

 

[MAD]

I think I will change my character icon to Naga.

 

[paradiselost]

...it really seems Tenchi Muyo! You are right, Walter...uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

;)

 

[Vampire_Hunter_Bob]

thats from the Tool song "Third eye" right? and he does look like the guy from the tenchi movie.

 

[paradiselost]

...uhm....but, when was it created that anime of Tenchi?

???

...I mean...maybe Miura took an inspiration by tenchi....uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

:-/

 

[Olivier_Hague]

...uhm....but, when was it created that anime of Tenchi?

You don't really think they created that movie last week, do you? ^^;

 

[paradiselost]

...come on, Olivier, be serious, please...don't get on something of ridicolous...

::)

...for sure, they don't create it last week, but maybe, they took a kind of ispirationb, why don't?

;)

 

[Olivier_Hague]

...for sure, they don't create it last week, but maybe, they took a kind of ispirationb, why don't?

...

How would a character of an already-released movie be inspired by a comics character who appeared for the first time _last month_?

 

[paradiselost]

...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

...Olivier, my friend, I said the exact contrary about what you said...! Really...

...it was Miura the one who took inspiration, guy!

;)

 

[Olivier_Hague]

...Olivier, my friend, I said the exact contrary about what you said...! Really...
...it was Miura the one who took inspiration, guy!

No, you didn't, "guy":

...for sure, they don't create it last week, but maybe, they took a kind of ispirationb, why don't?

How is "they" (the same "they" who made the movie) supposed to be "Miura"?

Also, if you always thought that the inspiration came from "Tenchi Muyô in Love", why did you ask for the release date (April 20, 1996, by the way)?

 

[paradiselost]

...well, 'cause I don't exactly remember all the days of creation of all the animes I have seen in my life, Oliver...

;)

...however, it has been a kind of misunderstanding, no problem, dear...

;)

 

[Olivier_Hague]

...well, 'cause I don't exactly remember all the days of creation of all the animes I have seen in my life, Oliver...

(it's _Olivier_)
And how was that related to the Rakshas character and the possible origins of his design?

...however, it has been a kind of misunderstanding, no problem, dear...

Sure. -__-

 

[Vampire_Hunter_Bob]
