Hey all, here are two human characters. A bit more accessories this time. I think I'm learning what would be cool as I go along.
I've decided that all Arcasters must have that emitting palm and magic blast that Rune Slayer has as he sets the bar! Also these two look a bit old fashioned/medieval to fit in the Neo-Sapien line. Definitely two figures that i think the Xevoz line needs: a knight and a witch.
Thorn Witch might possibly need some extra pieces with green skin, but I definitely wanted something that could go less bizarre if you needed to kitbash it. You can also have the vines come out of her hand. She comes with a rose piece also. Grand Vanquer's alternate heads allows you to get a sort of Lancelot guy/paladin/Soul Caliber Siegfried ish, and the hooded face makes for a good Mage Knight! and I can finally make my custom Moon Knight from HyperGuardian/RuneSlayer/and Grand Vanquer parts!!! He has a normal claymore and also an enchanted sword since he's an Arcaster. He has at his base armor, but extra armor creates a beefier knight. Cape fits into two pegs in the back. I guess all Arcaster's have capes now too.
I did a count when I first started drawing Xevoz in my sketchbook of all the different archetypes of childrens faves that Xevoz has covered. It really is the best toyline ever. It's for everyone and when you pick a favorite you are really making a huge statement about yourself.
Omega Guard = soldier
Sledge Trooper = robot
Alpha Ranger = space marine
Razorclaw = panther+gladiator/boxer
Inferno Fury = fire
Skull Jack = skeleton+pirate
Grim Skull = skeleton+samurai ghost?
Shadow Blade = ninja+diver
Bone Cutter = mantis
Shock Berserker = electricity
Dune Stinger = scorpion/crab
Sky Grinder = extreme sports
Moonstalker = werewolf+vampire hunter
Hemo Goblin = vampire/goblin
Transcorcher = transforming robot
Street Punk = biker/apocalyptic hero
Crypt Curse = mummy
Storm Wing = eagle
Quick Slinger = cowboy
Shield Breaker = future soldier+hockey player
Tomb Wraith = demon
Cryo Katana = ice/frost giant+ninja
Preda Crawler = cyborg
Iron Spectre = phantom armor
Thunder Shaman = gorilla/monkey
Frankenpunker = frankenstein monster/executioner+rock star
Hyper Guardian = super hero
Infil-Traitor = evil robot
Fire Drake = Dragon
Rune Slayer = Elven+Sorceror
So with my additions we have:
Unnaturals = 7
Neo Sapiens = 8
Meta-Beast = 4 + 3 (Deep Assassin = Shark/Fishman , Fortress Masher = Elephant/Rhino, Stampede Blazer = Horse)
Bio-Mecha = 4
Sectoid = 2 + 2 (Doom Dozer = Beetle, Buzz Injector = Bee)
Arcaster = 1 + 2 (Thorn Witch = Witch+Botanist, Grand Vanquer = knight)
Reptosaur = 1
Hyper-Furies = 3 + 1 (Hydro Maiden)
So i think I'm low on ideas... I'm starting to overlap the other art threads, I did see a bee, elephant and fish/shark dude looking back at Neocaledonian's art thread. I also tracked down Heyyou's Shark custom, and it is super hot. I should probably beef up Deep Assassin.
Reptosaurs are getting the shaft at 1, but I think there's art for that in the "new figure ideas" thread, a tyrannosaurus and triceratops. There's also a wind Hyper-fury... damn.
Rockahuna... rounds out the Hyper furies, but I think that's it for them. I mean besides fire, electricity, water, rock/earth, wind, ice... what other elementals should there be? I'm not so keen on the plant one... I know that was one of the kids in Captain Planet... but I dunno.
I saw some cool ideas thought out and drawn for a lion, snake, and squid, for which I also had sketches. Those would be all Meta-Beasts, so at the end that would have the largest number.
With Glacier Scout = White Tiger? + Skier
Problem with meta-beasts is that there are so many animals that you could translate into Xevoz. I think wacommonkey mostly mentioned Neo-Sapiens in the unreleased waves.
Would Ursa Khan = Barbarian conan character be an Arcaster?
Is Mech-Shell a Meta-Beast or Reptosaur? Are all reptiles Reptosaurs?
Should Deep Assassin and the squid belong in Aquattix?
I have one more idea I'll finish up tonight and then I think I'll be done. What's a really basic need here? Neo Sapien: Victorian Nanny... jk
