I think i had that same character in a previous conscript I did a couple of years ago. One of my conscripts had a character that matched one from the script of the Zentradi from the Robotech series. The only difference was the Zentradi one was a mirror image of mine. The funny thing was was I had never seen that specific episode where they showed the Zentradi script before I created my script! Perhaps there are just certain shapes people are drawn to when creating conscripts? _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- 'The beginning calls for courage; the end demands care'
