Urschanabi's appearance

Urschanabi's picture

Upd: The art section has been moved to his bio. Urschanabi's up-to-date reference can be found there as well. This page is now archived and kept for memories only.

(Yes, I do feel like I need another page for this. Just hoping I won't end up making separate blog entries for everything that should have been just a tab in his bio. Oh well)
Urschanabi
  • Aardvarks rock! ^|^
  • Roseate spoonbills rock as well. Just look at this expression.
  • It's been almost 6 years and I'm still absolutely in love with the Long Mask. It's not a mask actually, it's simply his face.
    Whatever form he takes, he can always be recognized at a closer look by this peculiar pattern on his elongated snout.
  • He has a TAIL (surprise!). I mean, not that little deer tail, but a massive one. Well, as any respectable aardvark would have.
  • And a super long tongue too. Although one rarely gets to see it, as the spirit doesn't need food.
  • He's dark red. Somehow I've always perceived the Noh pelt as red and was surprised to see people drawing it in orange, although it is in fact something in between?? Idk really, I've always thought I was mildly colorblind %) Thank Gods I have the Blood Red pelt now to avoid the confusion.
  • Antlers. Or ears. Or, most probably, head fins. Whatever they are, they look like a couple of frayed flags. I also like to think that he can flap them like some rudimentary wings while he rears onto his hind legs, as if trying to get off the ground — a sign of great joy and excitement. May be an allusion to Hermes' winged sandals (after all, that guy was a soul guide as well).

A HUGE THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who kept drawing Urschanabi based solely on his in-game appearance and my vague comments. You were all so eager to make arts of him, and it kept bugging me that I could provide you with neither a proper reference, nor any precise description. That's what finally moved me to work out his appearance. Not sure I could have ever brought myself to do it without you.

I always admired the

I always admired the originality of his attire. The orange skin is a vivid memory of you, and it's unusual to see it in its bloody form now. But I remembered the anteater haha. Love him.

Aww, thank you! I got used to

Aww, thank you! I got used to the Noh pelt too, will definitely be wearing it from time to time. Maybe one of the pelts will be reserved for special occasions or something.
Yeah, I also remember you had some beautiful art of tamadua-like deer! What happened to it, by the way?
Now that I look at my own drawing it doesn't seem red enough AARRGH Frown Laughing out loud

Wow!
I truly have no idea what the first picture from me is. Looks like the normal one had a glitch Laughing out loud But you saved it anyway. Cool.
Urschanabi's butt looks new to me, where were they posted?.. Really can't remember.

I was a little confused at

I was a little confused at first, but it's really suits Urschanabi, I guess!

@In: Mm, I only downloaded

@In:
Mm, I only downloaded what you posted back then)) There were just two versions of the picture, with and without Lu. The one with Ursch alone has transparent background, so I thought you made it in case I wanted to use it as a signature or something? Idk, you should know better)

The butt adventures were posted somewhere in the comments to Uitleger's former main blog, about four years ago.
I was young, and they said those pics would never be published

@Asakura:
Thank you! That's what happens when one procrastinates too long) I wish I had posted it before everyone got used to his deer form, but better late than never.

Thank you! I've read that

Thank you! I've read that despite living in the desert, aardvarks are surprisingly good swimmers. Probably that's because of their strong legs.

Thank you, I've put a lot of effort into his face, while the rest of the body was just meant to give a general idea about his shape)

There may be something on my old PC, but I don't have access to it now.

What a pity! One thing I

What a pity! One thing I remember well was a deer with a Long mask running down the hill. The drawing was in a very beautiful lilac colour.

Yes, that's it! Lovely color and I love the silhouette technique you used here.
Reminds me of an unbelievably beautiful German cartoon The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

Glad to hear that) Well, I

Glad to hear that)
Well, I guess the whole colour pattern including his mask and antlers is still based on the forest set. I only used one colour here because I'm lazy and have no idea about drawing I was focused on his shape rather than colouring.

Thank you very much! I enjoy our meetings too, although your superjet Cu usually streaks through the forest with the speed of a comet and I can hardly ever catch sight of him)

Hey bro why do you make me

Hey bro
why do you make me think about you when you're not even in the Forest? - I have become too dependent on your arrival and increasingly check with the map - Ursh is sitting there? (I hope you also go to the community almost daily in anticipation of the "new miracle")
You give a lot of positive and bright moments that make me go to the forest and literally LIVE there ...
Thank you?

Haha, that screenshot Laughing out loud
And heeey, thank you for saying that, it means a lot. I often come to the forest because I see your picto on the map.

P.S. Your comment has reminded me to add your beautiful art to this page.

So many hearts... Now, I feel

So many hearts... Now, I feel special...
I'm so used to your character that when i draw without realizing it, I get exactly him. And the patterns on the mask... I get lost in them all the time. It seems that the plot is clear, but my hands want to come up with something more perfect and clearer than is customary in the game, and I can not even understand myself, what I want to depict on a long mask?
And even when I hang out with other players for a long time, I can't draw them for some reason - because of that, I even feel indebted (some time <<<:) )

Now, I feel special... And so

Now, I feel special...

And so you are.

It's an honour for me that my character gives you so much inspiration.
Don't wanna steal all the attention though. I'd love to see your drawings of others too!
