Default Does Anyone Else Think The Asura are Inspired By...

I kept thinking to myself they looked familiar and it was killing me that I couldn't pin-point what they looked like. Then it hit me today when I altered the nose. They look remarkably similar to Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch.

You are definitely not the first person to notice this, or even mention it.

This "genius observation" is so old it's starting to smell funny.

Asura do look a bit like Satan, though.

Inspired by drugs, perhaps?

I think the design was derived from a koala bear(because of the nose and eyes) and a rabbit(furry and long ears).

Thanks a bunch. I had not made ANY connection with Asura and Stitch, and now that I have that firmly in mind I have NO intention of using the hero. Stitch! Argg, what a creepy, freaky toon!

j/k. I do hate Stitch though. Can you find anything more innane than Stitch, Teletubbies and Barney?

I think the race was inspired by Britney Spears. The resemblence is uncanny. Serious.

Sorry, but the inspiration for little creatures that delight in creating powerful and ingenious weapons, and who feel the need to continuously remind you of your mental inferiority is clearly this:
