White Samurai and her White Steed!

by NickGreat (Minifig MOC's)

I present, WHITE SAMURAI!

If anyone remembers, I had a RED SAMURAI. This is my follow up on his adversary; White Samurai!

Lots of work went into her (and troubling RB to help me print the decals on a couple of occasions just for this), but I'm quite happy with how she turned out.

Thanks! 

I used the heavily sanded Green Goblin's headgear with a pair of viking horns, for the shoulder adornment.

Now that's more like it. Gorgeous color scheming and great design! Of all of it, the flag really caught my attention. I'm trying to figure out how you got the gold foil there. Those Japanese characters mean anything or you just tryin' to be suave? ; )

Heh thanks, the colour scheme was my initial motivation to start on her.

The flag is actually waterslide decal applied on transparency. Ah yes, those characters.  It's actually a Chinese (and Japanese too, I believe) character for "God". I used this as my previous Red Samurai's flag had the "Devil" word emblem. And also cos it looks good :)

Hey, Nick.

Those are abolutely kick-@**. I must, however, correct you on you hanzi (characters). The Red Samurai's hanzi means "magic", not devil, though it can have connotations of devilishness depending on its use. Either way, I look forward to seeing some more amazing work from you!

If you set your encoding to Unicode or to  Chinese or Japanese, you can see the character for devil/demon (which is actually a component in the character for magic: 鬼

Nick - she's stunning! All that gold on the white is an amazing look - and that shoulder piece kicks serious butt! Congrats - she's gorgeous.     :)



by Baggins on Wed, 04/19/2006 - 09:19

This fig is really cool.

I love this colours and is this your own decal ?

Wizzy0807;

Hi, and welcome to MCN! Regarding the Hanzi character i used for my RedSamurai, it is used most commonly in conjuction with other charaters. By itself, it is usually associated with the demon or devil. It by no means, represent magic when by itself. Of course, what I i'm saying only holds true in Chinese (which I am versed in). Chinese and Japanese text share many vocabularies but altho they are written the same, there are differences when usage is concerned. Unfortunately, I do not know Japanese (tried to learn but gave up), so you may be right, in a Samurai sense. However,  being a fan of DragonballZ, i noticed that Piccolo, representing evil, has that Hanzi character emblazoned on his chest. Speaking of which, I'm doing DBZ characters next :)

 

PorkDemon;

Oh no, another word debate :). "God" is one single word/character; it's not the same as the mahjong tile (which incidently, altho being called that, has nothing to do with a red dragon).             For my paints, I almost always use aerosol sprays for even distribution :). Different brands are used depending on required colours. A few thin coats are always better than one thick coat.

 

Redbean;

Couldn't have done it without you! Thanks!

 

Lamanda2;

Thanks! Feel free to use whatever ideas you see here!

 

Eelie;

Sure she's gorgeous, I had you in mind! *flirt* *flirt*

 

Baggins;

You can say that. I drew them, but I got Redbean to print them for me. The torso and face design is a close variation of the official Lego female ninja's.

Wow I like it! Insidently I was thinking of your samuri today and was wandering if you were going to be doing many more customs and now here's another one! Strange how these things happen...

I can't pass by without saying what an amazing custom this is! This'll have to go up in the gallery right away!
How many female Samurai were there? ;)

And remember kids, the difficulty of the Chinese language is another reason never to have Hanzi or Kanji tatooed on your forhead. You never know when some asian guy will come up and ask "why does it say 'I'm a banana man' on your forhead?" And you'll never know if he's joking...


by kor on Wed, 04/19/2006 - 11:55
Wow!!! Amazing! Thats probably the most inspiring custom work I've seen.


by armothe on Wed, 04/19/2006 - 12:08
I loved your red one - white one is even better. It's a shame it wasn't done in time for CCC3!

Great work, I would like to see her next to your Red Sam.  Really nice work and that gives me a great idea for a SW character.  Thanks

Wow, your samurai are stunning. I love the color combination, excellently executed. The phoenix (or crane, or some other bird) design on the barding, flag, and under-armour is awsome.
One thing I suggest though, is to make the horn the same color gold as the rest of the figure. The horn on her helmet, I mean.
Hey, doesn't the symbol mean divine? God is shang4 di4. 上帝. Divine or holy is shen2. 神. That word is half of another word for god, shen2 xian1. 神仙.
On your red samurai, the symbol is mo2. 魔. This character is half of the word for demon, mo2 gui3. 魔鬼.
