This is an image of Teddy Ruxpin's Vitamin Z empowered entity. The fur on his back and 'hair' extend to become a cape or wings that glow like sunlight and is similar to Spawn's cape. All the power of the Seven Crystals of Virtue run through his veins.
I was thinking of doing a lesser version of this design where Teddy gains precognition and can alter things in his vicinity, manefesting the same powers as Wima the Ancient...
And just so you know, the seventh crystal is composing the 'third eye' symbol on his forehead.
My thoughts on this is. WOAH! Kind of freaked me out at first, but when I got a closer look at it by zooming in I saw more detail than I did in the preview. You seem to have a theme for making hair change into things I noticed. Very originial. I thought the ' Z ' mode only worked on Arin and Aruzia for some reason, but this dose bring a wider specrum to it.
Maybe ' Z ' works on everyone who ingests it. Depending on who or what you are it has differnt effects. Maybe when he goes into ' Z ' mode he becomes bigger a giant like Arin and Aruzia, and his hair becomes longer turning into golden strangs which glows with a light of it's own looking almost like strings of brillant light. Weaving themselves into wings, as each of the 6 Crystals on his tunic begin to glow starting from the top to the bottom, and finally the last one on his forhead, and when the transformation is compleate his eyes glow as well.
Seriously he looks like he's ready to maul someone, though given the psychological effects Vitamin Z tends to have this isn't very suprising. The glowing eyes are a definite plus to this piece, as well as the symbol on his forehead. Just one question though, where is the seventh Crystal?
Personally, I like the idea of the hair being a cape or scarf as opposed to wings, I just don't see Teddy looking good with a set of wings on his back, especially if they're made of hair.
Of course, the best part is the costume he's wearing. Not too overdone, not to underdone, it looks like a cross between simple clothes and battle armor, especially with the six on his shoulders. Can't wait to see more, but this one is definitely going into my favorites.
Ah the wonders of Photoshop! There was a hefty use of layering and gaussian blurs to get that glow effect.
And the seventh crystal? Of *knowledge*? Where else would it be? The hair was just a good idea I got from Onimusha when Samonosuke goes MUSHA and his becomes like moonlight. Thanks again...
Normally the Z-mode does work like in the way it does in Arin and Arusia but in the LegRux document I wrote, Vitamin Z is also an airborne chemcial that is activated when people push themselves too much. Think of it as an overdrive of sorts. The hair and fur on Teddy's back changing into wings was inspired by Onimusha in a way.
I tried to make very 'movie version' but it somehow still looks really rough. I like the idea that a Z-mode for a character has that creepy element to it as if something isn't quite right with the transformation and it can go out of control like Arin's did in the cartoon.
What do you think Teddy should look like? Draw it?
