It’s actually intended as a reference to Uncharted 3, but the phrase has been used elsewhere too.
Spot the Reference
These 5 skins are based on characters from the Charles Dickens story, A Christmas Carol , Their designs seem to be based specifically on the 2009 animated film adaptation.
Close! Their designs (and descriptions) were based on The Muppet Christmas Carol, though I didn’t design Scrooge so I can’t speak for him.
Below are references…even though most of them obvious. Sorry if there are repeats.
I’ll be putting question marks next to the ones I’m not sure about.
??? Lord Ruthven (Dracula, Novel)
??? Traditional Priest Skin (Roman Catholic priests had to wear black)
Yuki Onna Mystic Skin (Yuki-Onna, Japanese folklore)
Amazonian Huntress Skin (Greek Mythology)
Queen of Hearts Sorcerer Skin (French-suited playing cards)
Juliet Trickster Skin (Romeo & Juliet)
Death Ninja Skin & Spectral Sentry (Grim Reaper)
Jack the Ripper Rogue Skin (Jack the Ripper)
Guerilla Archer Skin (Rambo)
Inuit Archer Skin (Inuit People)
Ankou Rogue Skin (Ankou, servants of Death)
Frankenstein Knight Skin (Frankenstein, Novel)
Knight of the Round Skin (The Round Table, Arthurian Legend)
??? Shield Maiden Knight Skin (Scandinavian folklore)
Founding Father Paladin Skin (A US Founding Father, probably G. Washington)
??? Masked Rogue Skin (Deadpool, Marvel Entertainments)
Yeah I really should have deployed Private Browsing before trying to work out if Soubrette Trickster from @Dappertron that I indirectly looted was based on some specific media example, or if it was more simply a generic/trope character.
inb4 I begin to get targeted ads selling me kinky maid outfits.
Ah yes, the Sienar Fleet Systems’ TIE/LN Star Fighter. A commodity that was the most plentiful thing in the galaxy after hydrogen and stupidity
No, but it’s super clear. Even if it wasn’t inspired by Deadpool, there are a ton of similarities, from the eyes to the belt to the sword.
New patch notes!
I’ll claim my own skin references before anybody else does.
Water Battlemaiden: Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender (it’s also my scrapped version of a skin for TWO art contests)
Samurai Quack: Two references: The name is a reference to “Samurai Jack”, and the description is a huge reference to “The Duck Song”
I don’t necessarily update every day (I have my own life as well so I can’t spend as much time as I would like on other things), but so far the leaderboard hasn’t gone over 2 days without an update.
Also coincidence that you mentioned update because I was in the process of working on it right now!
Tbf, hunchback might be a reference to igor (a character from frankenstein), since it was released for halloween.
