I have finally modeled a humanoid figure and I am fairly pleased with her! She is a corporate assassin (for when the Competition gets too tough!) Let me know if anyone would be interested in her and If there's enough interest, I get her into testing :) Oh, name suggestions would be good too! Thanks all! Noel.

HOLY SH!T Noel. This is awesome!!!! And being the shoe fetishist that I am, I have to say I REALLY dig those boots ;) Lona the Black Assassin ;)


Cin- posted Thu, 18 April 2002 at 9:18 PM

I'm with Xena on this one... this is AWESOME Noel! I'm not sure about names... I'm not very good with them... not sure about Lona, but the Black Assassin has a very nice ring to it. Please please please make it avaialable, and not too expensive so I can afford to buy it! ;)

polys are right there Serrge...start counting, lol ~EA


Ironbear posted Thu, 18 April 2002 at 11:26 PM

I still vote for calling her "Bun-bun". ;] Cool stuff Noel.

ok folks, I'll be sending her to my Testers in a few days :) Just have to tweak a few joints and make some more "stuff" for her. For a name, my Son suggested "Tequila" play on "ta kill ya" which I thought was pretty witty :) Thanks for the reponses guys and sorry Sherman, I I think she would kill me if I named her bun=bun.. lol... Cheers Folks! Noel

Some people have no feel for using absurdity to camoflage the deadly. ;] It's the "kill em while they're laughing" techique: "So... you're the new corporate troubleshooter?" "Yup." "What do we call you?" "Bun-bun." "BUN-BUN?!?!?? Bwahahahahahaha- " "Bang!" snicker

"ta kill ya" and she is like tequila, sneaks up on you and knocks ya on yer butt!! lol She now has a bunch of weapons and the antenna are now posable and scalable (that can't be a word) Here's a shot of her as she is now. btw, I am in no way to be held respnsible for anything she does after you buy her!!

As always, I'll make my request for a male version as well. It's nice having the right assassin at the right time. You could call him Slammer ...


Dave71 posted Fri, 19 April 2002 at 10:45 PM

That is so cool....


ChromeTiger posted Sat, 20 April 2002 at 1:16 AM

No no no...if there's going to be a male version (which gets MY vote), there's only one name that would now fit... "Sunrise" I'll leave the imagery up to your imagination... :)


Xena posted Sat, 20 April 2002 at 3:33 AM

LMAO @ Chrome. Obvious choice ;) A matching male version would be sweet. No pressure or anything LOL


Ironbear posted Sat, 20 April 2002 at 4:17 AM

Or maybe the male version should be called "Mockingbird"

Male version on his way folks :) Thanks so much for all the great comments!


Valandar posted Sat, 20 April 2002 at 11:15 AM

I say the Male Version should be named Cuervo. And have lots of blades... "Cuervo the Carver"... and maybe have a bizarre little worm on his shoulder...

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!


Styxx posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 12:01 AM

Okay folks, here's the male counterpart to Tequila. I'm stuck on a name, though. So here's the deal: I'm running a contest. The duration of the contest is from Sunday April 21 to Friday April 26. Whoever *I* think comes up with the best name for him wins the couple. His name should "fit" with hers somehow, but please, don't limit yourselves to drink names (I am *not* calling him 'fuzzy navel' or 'sex on the beach' lol!) I'm still working on this texture, and they'll both have probably 3 each once I'm done. Plus they'll have their own weapons. I'm even including poses for them. Now, remember, these *aren't* just suits for Mike and Vickie! They are 100% original mesh characters! I'll include a wire frame render shortly so you can see (I'm only saying this because I've had about 3 people ask if they'll 'fit' Mike and Vic). So! Just post your ideas here, and come Friday I'll choose the winner!

Sacred Rose posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 12:15 AM

What about calling them 'The Advocates' Tequila and Bender ;-)


Sacred Rose posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 12:16 AM

btw..they kick serious @ss!!! (as usual)


lalverson posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 12:48 AM

If she looked a touch more egyptian, she would be the banshhe character I've been attempting for years. But she's glose enough.. i want her, and I want her now....heh heh.. I'll wait till she ready tho..don't wanna rush real artistry..

depakotez posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 1:25 AM

"Twisted" was my first thought, but I think that was more a reaction. However I think he looks like a "Nocturn" or "Damos" My nickle.


caffeineguy posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 1:30 AM

How about Shott or Shotts?


Elsina posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 1:33 AM

They are great! I would go for something like Thunder or Thor..Torge or Tyr (father of the giants).

Ajax posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 1:39 AM

I vote for "Mescal" as a play on "max-kill" and also being another spirit made from the agave cactus, just like Tequila.

How about Raicilla or a derivitive of? Raicilla is the oldest alcohol spirit known to man and was drunk by the indian high priests, even before mezcal, and was considered a very mild hallucinogenic. Heh, all those years of bartending in a biker bar taught me something after all. ;)

Tilandra posted Sun, 21 April 2002 at 11:01 AM

I vote for "Shooter", which is a spin-off of "shott" but just sounds better to me. Although too obvious. Then of course there is "Alexander" which is a derivative of Brandy Alexander, but who on earth would mix tequila with chocolate milk? Then there is "Lime" because we all know how well those two go together... and how deadly. :) "Salt" is a spin-off of that, but "Lime" sounds better... maybe he's British? Tilandra

Oooooers, love the figures! And I just have to post some entries to this contest since I love words and I live in the desert region that grow the Agaves that produce Tequila. * Mexcalmetl (a play on max kill plus metal) The native name of the variety of plants that produce Tequila and Mezcal. Mexcalmetl and Tequila has an interesting ring to it. * Maguey Another name for Agave, which is the common name of the succulents that Tequila comes from. I'm not as crazy about this name either.

Clissold posted Mon, 22 April 2002 at 3:51 PM

Mr E (joke)


TriTeq posted Mon, 22 April 2002 at 3:51 PM

Another one- * Pulque (pronounced pool KAY and a drink with a fascinating history) This was the drink before tequila became popular, and is still drunk today, but doesn't have the popularity that Tequila has (kinda like Michael isn't as popular as Vicky ;). Fermented from the same Agaves that Tequila comes from, this drink is believed to be over 2,000 years old. The myth and history of this drink is fascinating. "The pulque gods wore a half moon made of bone in their nose and their faces were painted black and red representing the light and dark side of the lunarscape and reflected their status as lunar beings." Representing "a star" that died and was reborn daily (the moon) explains why the gods represented life and death in nature. I read this shortly after seeing your male figure, and it seemed to fit. Or at least worthy of mentioning here. Pulque was used by royalty and priests to celebrate great victory and "was served as a ritual intoxicant presumably to increase the priest's enthusiasm over the imminent sacrifice and to ease the sacrifants impending demise." Sacrifice?! Woah, back up there. Then light and dark side of the moon? Death and daily rebirth? All adds to an interesting namesake. Woah, okay this is a long enough post. I'll stop my long-windedness.


TriTeq posted Mon, 22 April 2002 at 4:52 PM

A few others-- * Aztec, Aztecan, Azteq. * Aztech, Aztecnician (keeps with combined Mexican culture plus corporate theme laugh). * Cortes or Cortez (for the Spanish explorer that conquered the Aztec empire). * Tecate * Peyote, Mescaline. Both hallucinogens from the desert. * Hemlock, Arsenic.


TriTeq posted Mon, 22 April 2002 at 4:59 PM

And finally -- * Liquate, an anagram of Tequila. Also Liquidate, Liquator, Liquidator. Liquate means to "cause a more fusible substance to separate out of a combination or mixture by applying heat, as it in liquate lead from its ore." * Quilate, another anagram; translates as carat from Spanish. It's not as sexy as Liquate. * Black Wasp I'm done for the day. :)

TriTeq posted Tue, 23 April 2002 at 3:43 PM

And still more entries for today-- * Ouzo, a colorless Greek anise-flavored liquor, frequently done as shots. A play on "uzi" * Metaxa, a famouse Greek brandy. I like the sound of the name, as in they "met axe" * El Diablo, the devil in Spanish. * Amontillado, as in "The Cask of Amontillado" from the Edgar Allen Poe story. And a drink recipe-- T.K.O. 1/3 oz Tequila 1/3 oz Ouzo 1/3 oz Kahlua Pour into shotglass, shoot, enjoy. :) I've not tried this.
