Working with more tints and highlights. Awesome stuff to experiment with :).

Eli, from my old Ghost Blade project. He's like, the hero of the Ghost Blade story. He's kinda emo 'cause his Dad died.

Oh yeah, Eli. It really depends on the culture for this one. I've heard a couple people tell me it was a female name. He's actually named after a high priest in the book of... Uh. I think it was Samuel. Interesting fact: El in Hebrew refers to God, and is one of the names of God. You've got Elohim which means "God the creator", El Shaddai "God all sufficient". And other stuff. In names, using El in a hebrew name can be used to portray one of God's characteristics in that person's life. "God is my rock" and stuff.

Uh, I don't know what "Eli" means. *looks it up* Eli means "Ascended" or "My God on High". Aaaand, according to a cencus poll it is rising in popularity as a name that people name their babies (in US and Canada). And yes, that is the results as a boy's name. *sticks tounge out at nay-sayers*

*reading stuff* This is interesting. Did you know "Sophia" means "The Wisdom of God"? Man, I thought it was just a cute girls name XD. Names are fun stuff, man. :)

I'd like, want to look more into the meanings of names like, next time I make new characters. I could find a name that really fits. Well, take "Toca" for example. Toca. I just got it from the name of an awesome techno song. "Toca's Miricle". I find out later that "Toca" in spanish means "To play a musical instrument". Also, the name of a bongo company and a PS2 game. In some cultures, Toca is a mans name from what I gather.

Something to do with film?

Any search results for Velvian inevitably turn up photographs. (and your deviantart page) :)

I think that it might take just a moment to find out what it is I want. To figure out what I really need though, that's something else altogether. That takes years, and I'm still searching.

LOL my hair looks so like his right now xD
i always thought Eli was a guys name... i think some people get it mixed up with the name Ellie, and don't see Eli being pronounced as ee-ly :shrug:

nice job on the lighting - looks like he's walking through a jungle... which is a brave thing to do for a bunny i guess hehe.
:iconhare:
yeah, Eli has a few similarities to Elmo I've noticed. Blue hair, lop ears, kicks aaaaaa... uhm, albania. yes.

And he may be a rabbit, but he's got a sword. To quote from Monty Python "Thats no ordinary rabbit!" ;)

My characters names usually don't have meaning... Take Sowen for example! The day I made her name occurred by pressing random consonants and vowel keys until I came across something fitting... ;P

But Tatsu, as you may or may not know, means "Dragon" in japanese, and my character Tatsu is an Egyptian Damara sheep/eastern dragon(even though I am in no way Egyptian or asian). I 've dubbed them Lanxovis, which is a mixture of two Latin words roughly translating to "Scaled sheep" *shot*

Possid's name comes from the title of the file! "Possible ID" but I was lazy and just typed "Possid" *shotshot*

I've always liked the name "Serafina" which I first came across as the name of a witch in a book series called "His Dark Materials". Serafina Pekkala. Serafina means "Angel".

I am very quotation mark happy today. :D Have a super spectacular day!
