I know that Spanky; however I'm not about to say:Spanky The Dolphin wrote: By the way, Ford, van Gogh was more than just eccentric or "emo." It's widely believed that he was manic depressive or schizophrenic (mind though that he only painted during his lucid states).
Or something similiar, because, yeah, that's just silly. More correct in regards to van Gogh perhaps, but still a rather more silly thing to say to Pick. And also, is your current (at time of posting) avatar Asuka, armed?Hey, it just adds a layer of schizophrenia to your persona as a drop dead awesome artist. Like Van Gogh, but not as manic depressive.
Noting the feet, eye color, and hands, this isn't an old Umber at all. Umber as he is in the actual story is much, much taller than this --not only because of age, but also because he currently digitigrade whereas this is when he still had flat feet. He's well into the realm of eight feet. You can actually always tell Umber's approximate age by his feetLord Revan wrote:something I've wondering if Umber is just 6'2'' (I'm about 6'4'' so that's why I said "just"(I imagined them (at least older ones) to be alot taller) how tall are the rest?
There probably would be blood if I colored it, despite the fact that I'm sure he would have cleaned it off before he came homeFord Prefect wrote:I would complain that there isn't enough blood for the Return from Zantim (I actually thought that was spelt with an X there; though that's Xelorenden), but that's a minor quibble.

Why? It's just a demon-elf thing which happens to have the pigmentation of a Grey. It's no more a Grey than those lesbian space pirates in Consider Phlebas. (Gow and Kee-Alsophorus, they were called IIRC)Spanky The Dolphin wrote:(Don't let Simon see that or you'll never hear the end of it...)
Yes, all Zaa have bone extensions. You can tell a Zaa from anyone else, as they are the only people with that particular trait, and they all demonstrate it --and never anything uncharacteristic. Basically, they're purebred, but there's enough of them that they aren't really inbred. They had their own nation, even, before it was crushed by the Syvorians.Darth Raptor wrote:Verdigris would have a fascinating skeleton. Is it characteristic of the Zaa to have traits that are extensions of the skeleton? Claws and horns that are little more than bone instead of covered in horn like other azzarn?

Or an androgynous messiah. Lo and behold the Sama-Wajd, the hermaphroditic avatar of Jejoh! The perfect androgyne shall be Emperor-Empress of the known universe! Iä Slaanesh!Darth Raptor wrote:Verdigris is a her. Look! Boobs!
The Zaa consider themselves to be an entirely different species from the azzarn, but the azzarn, on the other hand, think of the Zaa as being simply another kida that happens to have an excessive degree of racial pride. No one is entirely sure which perspective is accurate, and the Zaa actively resist any efforts that would lend more data for examination. What is odd about the Zaa is they are clearly Evil like the Syvorians, but have a social structure that is actually very Llanellian.Darth Raptor wrote:So they're more like a vast kida instead of a true subspecies? Sorry, I love xenobiology.
The Zaa are rather unusual, however, as Verdigris said. On average, they are much more powerful than azzarn. They're strong, excellent with most magic, and quite shrewd. Basically, their worst weaknesses are their dietary requirements and lack of population. Still, they are stubborn, and haven't given up hope of regaining their former role, kind of like a desperate ex-boyfriendGiving a short snort, Verdigris replied darkly, “We are proud, but we aren’t unrealistic. We are immensely strong, intelligent, and magically inclined. More than that, we have the Laws. Why wouldn’t we treat you azzarn with contempt?”
Nobody is genderless in Dark Councilors, and I would never draw a man with boobs. The eventual realization of gender would just be too cruel to those who just jerked off to it five minutes priorPeregrine Toker wrote: Or an androgynous messiah.

For the record, Van Gogh painted in his crazy-as-fuck states too, including the paintings he made shortly before he killed himself. You can actually look at a chronological listing of his paintings and tell when he was doing OK and when he was out of his mind. When he got to his bad place, his painting style becomes desperate. While the Wheat Field With Crows likely wasn't his last piece before he died, on contrary to popular belief, you can really see what a bad place he was in there.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:By the way, Ford, van Gogh was more than just eccentric or "emo."
