DS: re: Cobalion/Terrakion, Thanks. ^^ As for the other thing, no - Kalpataru holds his proboscis up, parallel to and slightly above face level (like in
this picture, the first pic I've drawn of him). I suppose it might dangle weirdly when he's in the sort of stunned/status ailment pose because they all have the weirdest stances in that state. Vayu's (Gale's demon form), in particular, is fucking hilarious.
Yeah, Kalpataru is his actual name. "Asura" is more of a species descriptor. Digital Devil Saga is based quite a bit on Hindu Mythology. The Asuras were a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes portrayed as sinful/materialistic (as opposed to the more divine/spiritual Devas, with whom they are constantly in competition) - though their depiction as good or evil depends on the myth. Asuras have some good connotations too. The whole description of 'power seeking demons' is rather appropriate for the Asuras of Digital Devil Saga - who are essentially demon forms of people who are struggling for dominance of the world the game is on (in the loosest possible way, it's a lot more complicated than that).
Kalpataru himself is named after a mythical divine wish-granting tree (also known as Kalpavriksha), said to have the power to fulfill all desires. Although I think this one would only fulfill death wishes. << XD
Either way...
Sanzang, from the Warriors Orochi series. Because she is too frelling pretty for her own good and I have never seen someone kick so much ass with
sleeves.
Aaaaand this is what happens when I design my own outfit for her. @_@
Kyra Tierney (of Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium) and Maya (of Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator) high-fiving. Because they remind me quite a bit of each other, I'm quite fond of them both and I wanted to draw them. XD
