Artist's Comments

... rock and roll radio?
The person I've known the longest on the net is ~Liffe, but whether or not I knew her when I made my first human character (Susanna/Susanne), I don't know, so I figure it's a little rude to ask whether or not someone remembers her when they weren't even present. Hah!

Yes, people. This is what eight of the Elita characters looked like in the beginning. I didn't include Janet because she has hardly changed at all and I didn't include Hugh and Marjane, because they weren't created by me.
Let's go...

Alexander Applegate! (Alexandra Applegate)
- I remember discussing Rammstein with one of my old friends (~AtomicSquid), and we came across the song "Zwitter", which is German for "hermaphrodite". Having a sudden source of inspiration, I created Alexander Applegate, a piercing-loving, freckled, bisexual hermaphrodite. Yes, male pregnacy came later. I do not know what I was thinking.
- His eyes were completely black back then (like the lemuriers of Margit Sandemo's The Tale of the Light's Kingdom, but trust me, I had not read the series back then), and though he could still see a group of peculiar beings (that weren't people quite yet), his "mutant" ability was to shoot optic energy beams, like X-men's Cyclops.
- Although Alexander has become Alexandra, his/her boyfriend has remained the same.

Jone Jensen! (John Mathias Jensen)
- Have you ever seen anything this uke-ish? By George, this is embarrassing. What makes me confused is how popular he used to be when I still used my old account. Hmm.
- He was firstly produced to be in a little side-project I had made, which went down, nose first, as quickly as it was created. Also from this project came my character Atle Nilsen, who - in that series - was Jone's boyfriend. But he obviously isn't anymore. Jone's first design was with blue eyes.
- He was quickly tossed into another world (of MSN roleplaying), got pink eyes, another boyfriend (and two...) and I was terrible with him. Abusive father, random abusive people, being whiny and angsty... Jone had a lot of scars, and was not very sensitive to pain (nor tickling, hee hee).
- All of a sudden, I realised he had to look more man-like, and it was almost a sudden change. It changed gradually, and I don't think anyone took much notice.
- In a roleplay forum, I made him bisexual in stead of gay, and gave him a boyfriend for the time being (created by *Kreativv). After a few ifs and buts and mental abuse and yelling and screaming from a few of the users in there (including myself), Jone became straight, got together with *Kreativv's Maura, and this is how it is now.
- (Reminded by ~SkrzydlataSchiza!) Jone's very first ability was to control plants. His next was to change his gender (which brings us yet again back to m!preg :ohmygod:). Both of these abilities have been tossed aside.

(*phew!*)

Ryan Anderson! (Ryan Daniel Anderson)
- Furry. His little sister Rachel was more a "main" person in the little X-men "inspired" world I had created (I called it "Survivors", no need to go into details), and Rachel was friends with Susanne (far right) and two non-featured boys named Jesse and Lloyd. Jesse was like Ryan, but feline.
- Ryan was also tossed into the world Jone/John was tossed into, and after a few doses of a manically depressed scientist which didn't belong to me, Ryan's dog-like features disappeared (but gradually came back as he grew older). When this world turned to ruins, I decided to keep Ryan human in Elita, as I'm not going for the whole X-men thing anymore.

Howard Cooper!
- Yay, same name. He also comes from Survivors, but is one of the later characters. His name comes from the fourth season of Blackadder (Blackadder goes forth). Picking out random names from the credits, I ended up with Howard Cooper.
- His original ability was to breathe underwater, or something. I think. I think he could breathe through some holes in the skin of the stalk eyes, but wtf. Anyway, he was my representant of X-men's Toad, and he would not hesitate to hide in the mud and spy on his enemies, or something.
- In the roleplay world, Randy removed one of his eyes from his head, and that was the start of me thinking "ew, go away, eyes".
- Look at his bratty attitude!

Melissa Berg!
- Looked a whole more plain than she does now (although some facial features still remind me of her current self...). Yes, her hair was like Rogue's.
- Physically, she changed from this to a four-armed, grey-skinned, short-haired (and black-haired!) goth girl who never really developed any personality but anger, because she never really got much attention neither from me nor anyone else. So her story's short.

Randy Bullet (Randall Bullet)
- Not tall, not skinny... but the colours remains the same. ~Booris gave him (and a few others!) to me, though I decided what he (they) should look like. In Survivors he was found outside "the good guys"' location, having rained down from the sky, because he had the ability to turn himself to water, and had evaporated. He later joined the bad guys, and that's all I remember about him, really.
- In the roleplay world, he just grew taller and taller for each time I wrote his profile... This was also where it was established that he was gay.
- However, in the roleplay he was a whiny crybaby with a sense of justice. As for now, he's still whiny, but just to whine. Not better, but not worse.

Henri Bouvier!
- Still French, still short, still tan and still blue-eyed. His first ability was to understand and occasionally speak any language he could get the hang on. His girlfriend was a Mexican girl with brown fur all over herself (I was upset when I found out that the X-men's translator boy was together with (or whatever) the fur girl Rahne, because I frankly didn't know before I made Henri and his girlfriend), and he was the only one who could speak her language (... yeah. Spanish is so difficult).
- His hair style changed after I had made another character in a whole different world I won't mention, and when I figured I wouldn't really use that character, I gave his hair to Henri (that sounded funny! :lol:).
- His ability changed when I went all "omfg, my character is important and mysterious!" and claimed that his eyes were never wide open, because if he did, something would happen to the person he looked at. Now he's just a hypnotist, thank goodness.

Susanne Lander! (Susanna Hansen)
- My first human character, despite her purple skin and hair.
- Her first design was a female Nightcrawler. Big surprise. I made her right after I had watched the second X-men movie May 2003, and being fourteen, what else could one expect, huh? When I realised I really couldn't do that, I made her purple and gave her a lizard's tail. After a while I realised that the snake-skin she had disabled her ability to grow hair, so... it's a wig, and the eyebrows are painted on.
- There was a moment I decided she would evolve as she grew older, giving her wings when she had turned twenty.
- This thought was again tossed away when I changed her colours completely, making her skin black (as in BLACK), her eyes red (but with whites), and her hair white, as the average "drow". Yes, shame on me.
- As soon as Elita was created, I tossed this idea aside, but kept the white hair and the pointed ears. I now only have the pointed ears to go with, and her hair is auburn.

Dear god, if you're still reading, congratulations, because I certainly wouldn't have bothered! ... I think.
Ignore my lack of effort at everything called shoes and trousers. :|
Time used: Six hours?
Music listened to: Frank's folder.
Tools used: Adobe Photoshop CS3; Trust tablet.
All characters belong to me. Thank you!

I remember Howard with extra eyes! I kinda missed it, but I really apretiate your progress. And sex-changing Jone... I was his number one fan. But now he's got more personality.

indeed. I would like to talk about more of your old works but I don't think you'd like it. That's good. That shows us that you really have self-criticism.

no, it was not sarcasm ^^'
I see that you're not satisfied with your works from two-three years before. Neither am I with my works. That just proves that you want to improve.
