UPDATE: Comic Sans Wadjet
7 years ago
Hearken to me, my subjects!
OOC
Turns out: the joke's on me. Nobody (or very few) liked the idea of me removing Etheras's wadjet makeup. So - this is an update to an earlier post. Due to overwhelming pushback from fans at my prior announced plan to remove the wadjet makeup from Etheras's eyes (about 90% opposed the idea)... I've decided that I'm NOT going to remove the wadjet after-all.
I still think that, in some pictures, it doesn't look very nice. But rather than getting rid of it entirely, I'm going to ask artists to make the wadjet lines slimmer, lighter, and have the line start closer to the outer edge of the eye so that it doesn't come off as "drooping" or "crying". I think that this will be enough to correct any of the aesthetic concerns that I have with Etheras wearing this makeup.
That only leaves the concern about fans misinterpreting him as being an Egyptian character, which - unfortunately - I don't think I can rectify at this point. I'll just have to keep getting sci-fi Etheras art and hope that folks realize that it was just an aesthetic decision and has nothing to do with Etheras's "origin story".
... speaking of which... stay tuned. Etheras origin story may be coming soon(ish). ^.^ We've finally started working on it!
So - thanks to everybody who responded for caring enough to dissuade me when you believed me to be making a mistake. I might have been too hasty. Perhaps I should have asked-around more first. Anyway...
Thanks!

why not do with him what you want
It’s your character, and you can do whatever you want with it. I’m just offering my two cents, and why so many people feel that way
That's actually interesting to know because honestly I always figured Etheras was Egyptian which is why I always gravitated towards him SO strongly when I first discovered him.
