hokay ZU, this should be fun.

I was thinking about the ZU manga, and one thing that kept flitting into my mind is ... "how should I/we portray the members/characters? as the impression their username/av/sig/personality draw, or as what we know they look like?"
Do you ever sit there and think "if ZU was a real place, how would it look like?" is it just a giant building with all the different floors being the different sections of the forum? or perhaps a CITy? is the FSQ just a bulletin board? or a town square? would that be better suited for the GCC? (the town square, that is :> )
what about the I:SB? is it a series of dungeons? or a whole set of "The Shades"-like dark and dodgy set of alleyways?
what would the residents of the different places look like?

Where would the BA fit? and what about the Zelda part of the boards? would the intensity of different forums bring about a difference in how people (who frequent that area) dress?
and the Clans - how would they work, in real life?


THIS thread, is for drawing ZUers - And ZU environment- based on the imprESSion they give off - whether it be through their av, acted personality or username or any of that. Or even to draw how YOU think you might "appear" to others based on the clues you give them. Or, how you WANT to appear (in a drawn comic of ZU! :> ). It is also for portraying how ZU appears like to yOU in your mind, if it were to be translated to a 3d real life setting

For example, Power Shot is usually paraded round as a green ranger full of himself,
Dr. Fish, his loyal sidekick is a wee blue fish who happens to hover/glide along ( xD) or maybe a Penguin,
Peefy is Dr. Wright from old school Sim City
Lioness would be a kitty ,
Tiroth as a pink fwuffy dwagon
Scott as a Men-in-black type dude with sunglasses and a gun
while DJ (Tacheon Black) is a bear!


Draw and share! :>!
Hopefully, this'll give me and us (when I finally pitch the idea) a fantastic boost ahead to the ZU Community Manga/Comic ^_____^

ah yes! Don't forget to include the reason why you see them as such!

okay, to start us off, and you might have seen the first two before:

Lioness as a queen kitty - firstly by virtue of her username and secondly through her personality. An avid fan of Disney's Lion King, she HAS been the queen Moderator for many many years; and since we know she;s a red-head, kitty also has to be red :> :




Radek and outside ZU (if it were to be a huge mansion-type building) , Radek, is one of the oldest (join date old) members of ZU, and who stILL sticks around regardless. Though mostly walks around scowling at all the newbies and NOT being impressed, he.. remains :> which is very endearing. That is why we lovingly refer to him as "ZU's grandpa" :



The ZUBC Headquarters look like so:



and Lastly, The Great Panda : first because of his username. Secondly he has one of the coolest personalities kicking around ZU, he's blunt and honest whilst at the same time still being tactful, hence the sword, and it being sheathed behind him. He's not afraid to use it, that's why he's reaching back for it :p I also know he has beautiful hair, so I tried to mix real looks with Panda-ey connotations of the name.


(sorry you turned out looking a bit girly, Panda =X )



SO! your turn! Take part! ^___^
