So how will this work?
On Mondays and Fridays, I will post a comic page wherein you will get to pick a certain aspect of this Ancient Egyptian samurai’s design. For instance, for the first page, you get to choose her hair style, and what she wears around her waist. By clicking the arrows besides the selection, you get to see the different styles available.
To give me your results, post them in the following format:
Hair: L(F)
where L is your favorite of the lot, and (F) is your second favorite.
You may either post your choices as a comment on DrunkDuck, or as a response to this blog entry where no signup is required.
For every page, you will have six days to get your votes in. So for the first page, posted on a Friday, you have until the following Thursday. If it’s a Monday, you have until the following Sunday.
If you would like to make any suggestions for future categories (ie, different tops) or for a category that has just been posted, please feel free to post them – a link to a picture of what you are describing would be most welcome.
Please note that teal is just a placeholder color – anything presently colored teal will be changed to a color of your choosing near the end. The slippers, armbands, and top are also placeholders.
Upcoming categories include: neck, upper arms, lower arms, and legs. I am out of ideas for tops, so if you are not content with the current one, please feel free to make suggestions.
UPDATE (March 24)
Today's choices:
Neck and Upper Arm.
For me to completely understand your choices, please post them as follows:
Neck: A(B)
Upper Arm: A(B)
Where the first letter is your favorite, and the letter in brackets is your second favorite.
UPDATE (March 28)
Design a Samurai - III
The winning hair is the one shown.
But for the waist, there was a tie - so for today's choices, there is a re-vote between the two runner-up waist pieces, in addition to lower arms and legs.
To ensure I completely understand your choices, please post them as follows:Lower Arm: A(B)
Waist: A
Legs: A(B)
where the first letter is your favorite, and the letter in brackets is your second favorite.
UPDATE (March 31)
Design a Samurai - IV
The winning Neck is shown - well, it's not, because the winning Neck was no neck piece at all.
There was a tie for winning Upper Arm, so here's a revote.
Today's categories are Face and Weapon. Just a reminder, you always have one week to get your votes in, even though a new page is posted.
Post your picks:
Face: A(B)
Upper Arm: A
Weapon: A(B)
where the first letter is your favorite, and the letter in brackets is your second favorite.
If you don't have a DrunkDuck account, you may post your choices as a response to the blog entry on the official Ninja Shizatch webpage, where no signup is required (link below).
UPDATE (April 4)
Design a Samurai - V
The winning lower arm, waist, and legs are shown.
Today's category is Color - the accessory color. The final option is just a silly bonus, not an actual choice.
Upcoming choices will be skin tone, eye makeup, height, and name. If you have suggestions for other categories, please speak up.
UPDATE (April 7)
Design A Samurai - VI
The winning Face, Upper Arm, and Weapon is shown.
Today's category is Name. As you may have guessed, this samurai's name must have something to do with gold. Choices A through P are real words from various languages having to do with gold, whereas the rest are actual names whose meaning has something to do with gold.
As always, you have one week to get in your votes by leaving a message with your favorite and second favorite choice.
UPDATE (April 11)
Design A Samurai - VII
There was a tie for Color, so today is a revote between the two highest voted colors.
If you don't have a DrunkDuck account, you may post your choices as a response to the blog entry on the official Ninja Shizatch webpage, where no signup is required (link below).
UPDATE (April 14)
Design A Samurai - VIII
A re-vote for the name - it's a tie between Nebu (the Ancient Egyptian word for "gold") and Nubia (an Ancient Egyptian name derived from "Nebu").
UPDATE (April 18)
Design A Samurai - IX
The winning color is shown - it was a close one.
Today's category is skin color. "Pallor - African" was the default skin tone shown in all previous pages. The names are simply the names of the colors I picked off a skin tone chart - so if you don't think a particular skin tone looks like its namesake, I wash my hands from it.
I can only think of two categories left: height, and eye makeup. If anyone has suggestions for other categories, please let me know.
