Wow, so many ideas! I especially like the Renaissance idea, only make it more fantasy... like Arwen in LoTR! And Bell in different professions sounds cool too!

Right now I'm working on an inked and finished version of the three sisters in Greek/Roman garb, so look for that soon.

Oh that sounds wonderful! I can't wat to see how that one turns out ^_^!

The elfen style is really beautiful. And Lion's pics gave me an idea, something I got from the only Greek outfit I own. How 'bout Belldandy as a flamenco dancer? They're always so elegant and proud, and simply radiant!

Also, Kitori-san's idea is pretty nice. Mermaids are rather beautiful. :nod:

yea good ideas! ^^ Bell would defenetly be lovely in an elven style... and also maybe you can try drawing her mother by mixing some Bell and Skuld features and making them a little different... ^^

Speaking of Fantasy ideas ^-^ how about Bell as a Pagen Goddess with Keichi as a Cenatuar (is that how it spelled?) I think that would be cute if she is nuzzling him ^-^ Pagenism always has beautiful art ^-^

lol cute

she DOES change a lot over the manga!! She kinda changes in the anime too, but not as much as the manga!

yups she does a lot!

i think the changes in the anime version tries to reflect the changes in the manga, when you look at the timing of the release times of each animated Ah! My Goddess series/movie they seem to correspond with the look in the manga at the time.
(its good to have discussions like these but lets not stray too far from the main topic of the thread, we dont want to upset Melichan now would we!) :bg:

True K1 ^-^ Well as for another idea I think it would be funny if Belldandy was a Earth Goddess holding a little chipmunk that odly resembles a grumbling Keichi ^.^ that would be soooo cuuuute! I love those kindas of pictures *-* and it is based on Japanses tales.

thats a very good idea Kitori and so specific too! what do you think Melichan?
personally i really like to see Belldandy in wedding dresses! hehe its kinda a fantasy of mine (im not telling more!) lol :bg:

lol i think you told us enough dad

thanks K1, but r u and angelfeathers really related? ^-^

Yeah, I was sorta wondering about that myself, why you call him dad...

Oh, and I finished my inked/colored pic of the three Goddesses as the Fates (the greek version of the Norns) and uploaded it, so it should be on the site as soon as it gets approved. Unless it doesn't. ^_^;

I'm sure it will. And Angel just likes to call people that are older then her 'mom' or 'dad'. I'm 'mama' myself, sadly enough.

But anyway, concerning your idea for a clothing style based paganisme, Kitori-san...As a pagan myself, I definetly like the idea, although you messed a couple of things up. Centaurs, for example, are more associated with Greek mythology then anything else, although you could say that they're a form of the God in his Earthly form. To really go with the Paganist style, it would be best to give Belldandy a simple, white robe, but letting the glow around be like the moon, with a crescent on her forhead, as the embodiment of the Goddess, since she stands for the Moon, water and air. Might help a bit. Keiichi, however, as the embodiment of the God then, stands for Sun, fire and forest. Horns could be appropriate, like Pan, a god of the Greeks, who plays his flute through the woods. You could go into lot's of different directions with this.

As for something else...watching 'Titanic' really isn't a good thing for a romantic soul like myself...but anyway, Meli-san, do you know that dress Rose wears when she's about to commit suicide? I would love to see Belldandy in that dress...it's pretty lacy, but dark red is one of Bell's colors, thanks to her brown hair.
