The Not So Secret Origin of the Nameless Mascot

The creation of the mecha girl in my banner was accidental in nature. It came from this post at dannychoo.com about a bust of an anime girl. A bust is a sculpture of a person’s head, shoulder and chest. So FatB, a fellow member suggested why not give her Fauna ‘s lower half and a pair of Gundam arms.

Inspired by FatB’s comment, I did some cut and paste in Paint (didn’t have Photoshop at that time) and came out with this.

kintaro, another fellow member saw it and did a sketch. Danny suggested I use it as my mascot for my site but back then I didn’t have a blog so didn’t put it to use. Kintaro has also agreed to let me keep her.

The mascot was part of the reason I started a blog since I did not want the picture to be wasted. ^^;

Update:
New improved face lifted version of the mascot and finally a name for her!!

    When I first started visiting your blog, I didn’t catch the joke behind your header. ^^;

    Only after a few days did I realize and go, “OH HEY! ISN’T THIS-” XD

    I’m slow. orz

    so that is how you come up your mascot, interesting.

    agree with others, you should give her a name.

  14. 14 gordon 16 June 2008 at 9:54 pm

    Mizunaga,

    ed,

  15. 15 Mizunaga 16 June 2008 at 10:54 pm

    Ah.. Maybe joke was the wrong word to use ^^;

    Symbolism is more like it. Yeah.

  16. 16 D_Blade 24 June 2008 at 2:30 pm

    Eh, what about your candygirl, she hasn’t a name either? Shame on you!
    *Runs away*
    Just kidding.
    Oh and about your nameless mascot, I guess I never noticed her Gundam-style “elbow pads”. I just found strange she was roaming around without any skirt or pants. ^^;
    *Runs away again*

    D_Blade,
