Description
Peter Pan © J. M. BarrieThere is a reason why I listed Barrie and NOT Disney: I wanted to depict what Peter Pan would look and act like in the present day, not in the turn of the century or in WWII time like in the two Disney movies. Therefore I could nix the ballet shoes and show a more cosmopolitan personality in the famous "Flying Boy who never grew up."
As you could see, I had an influence from Nintendo's Legend of Zelda. I'd figure he'd incorporate parts of Link into his own style. (But what can I say, he has a fetish for tights

Just a minor detail, the copyright for Peter Pan does not belong to J M Barrie.
It belongs to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

You have a point. Mr. Barrie gave the hospital ownership rights in his will, or so I'm told.
It is a habit for me, thanks to this modern age of Corporations and the RIAA/MPAA, that I show the world who should really own the characters I use. for example, I use 'Mickey Mouse © Walter Elias Disney' rather than 'Mickey Mouse © The Walt Disney Comapny' You can file this under Political Speech. Right alongside with Hardee's Monster Burder and Burger King's new giant breakfast sandwitch.

um, okay.
1. the ownership rights were given to the hospital so it could take the money from the royalties and put it to a good use.
2. Mickey Mouse is actually copyright of 'Disney' as in the corperation.
3. Why would I file anything under Political Speech unless I was actually making a political statement.
4. it's spelt 'sandwich'.

Heh, it's not just the lack of ballet shoes that marks the original version of Pan as different to the disney. Can anyone say 'Nasty violent egotistical little psycho?' ^_^;; Suffice to say yours is a biiiit more freindly seeming.

Once again, part of my charm. I reiterated my motto a bit too recently--"Disney Magic, Fox Attitude"--and it's probably showing in my version of Pan. Not only would he be more friendly and able to faint you into kicking your own ass while having a good laugh at it, unlike certain real live versions of him--cough jackson hack--he likes girls. Much to Tink's dismay, of course.
Please excuse my rambling here. I've just woken up.

A lot of people don't realise the complexity of the origin of the character. If you want make it a bit more interesting, have a close look at the original novel, there's a lot more to him that just being a fun loving child that many people miss out on.
(Then again, I'm due to write an exam on it in a month or so I've looked into it a bit more than most.)
Check out the original Tink as well, you might be surprised.
