WHR and xaos

I said next post I'd explain the relation between Witch Hunter Robin(from here on referred to as WHR) and xaos how this show inspired him. I remember seeing previews of the show before it even started airing they had previews for it and I remember thinking to myself this seems... familiar. I was thinking "a group of people all wearing black and fighting bad" sounds like something I thought of, seems like a show I dreamed about." Back when I was younger and I saw something that seemed like I would do I would yell 'rip-off!' and this was no exception I promptly yelled 'rip-off!' Note: another show I yelled 'rip-off' at that was so similar to a comic I was making was Elfen Lied a little too similar to what I was making at the time. But that's another story all together. Anyways from that you could say xaos was already sort of there in my mind since the beginning but I just met him three years ago. I remember even when I first met him I was half asleep on my bed after coming home from school then all of a sudden I have a vision, a daydream, whatever you want to call it of a guy in a big black coat. He was pretty tall and he looked menacing he looked like he had some strength in him that no one else had. I remember it well I could see him clearly and not only that I remember the area as well it was in a bar a dark bar and it looked like either A)he was getting in a fight or B)just finished a fight and was looking if anybody else was going to start trouble I couldn't tell that very clear he was so mysterious. I couldn't draw him so good for a long time but when I finally saw WHR and saw the character Amon seen here

I saw how I wanted to draw him Amon's personality and his design was something I wanted to integrate into xaos, there was also another character name Haruto Sakaki that was an influence. By the way the english voice for Haruto is none other than Johnny Yong Bosch aka Ichigo aka black power ranger. Haruto had a blue shirt and jeans under his coat instead of a black vest and all. So bam, I was thinking of giving xaos regular street wear under his jacket. The characters of WHR did have an influence but that's not to say I just ripped them off and made my "own" series but based off of them. I'm just saying the show is an influence. Xaos is his own man, no team stuff like in WHR though there is a team out there that fights and they look at him as sort of a leader or idol or something he has nothing to do with them. Xaos calls those people his 'groupies'. Why I haven't drawn these 'groupies' or said anything more about them, well truth is I haven't fleshed them out more yet. I have some basic designs for a female member though. Also like I said xaos was kind of always there I just never fully realized him then. I was looking through the very first drawings of xaos and I noticed I never gave him a name yet. Matter of fact I don't think I named him until senior year of high school. I saw that I just named him the unknown character. Man, even back then I noticed that calling him the unknown character makes sense now. As for where I got the name, again that's another story, same with his powers but I will tell you one thing about his powers and his 'identity' the show that made me realize that part of xaos was E's Otherwise. Yeah well, I'm starting to forget the other things I was going to mention so i should wrap it up. See this pic?

Now I actually forgot a lot about the story of the show so if you want that go to Wikipedia and for a quick synopsis go here ANN synopsis
Oh yeah what would I be talking about a show and not putting up the opening theme song?

I hope for those that never heard of this show before might actually consider checking it out now too.
