The Vixens: Shakti, Pomona, and Oba

The Vixens are very special for several reasons. One is the name they go by Vixens. A vixen for those of you that don’t know is a female fox, and foxes just happened to be my favorite animal.

Now each of their names is of a goddess. Shakti is Hindi, it means “Divine Woman” In their religion it the Hindu Goddess of Time and Destruction. Pomona is Latin it means “Apple” In myth it’s the goddess of fruit and fruit trees. Oba its Yoruba, myth a goddess who rules the rivers.

When it came too how the Vixens looked I was determined to make them very sexy and deadly at the same time. My only complaint with Yugi and Atem is their lack of a wardrobe hence getting him clothes. So I was determining to make these girls look great. When I drew I like to look at bright colors better then dull ones. So I chose three colors that worked well. The elf ears and Bajoran earrings? I love to draw pointy ears and I love the Bajorans earrings. They’re the ones in Star Trek with the ridges on their nose and the odd names family name first and first name last. I love their earrings so that why I added that. Cat pupils make them look evil but that tiny diamond? That was actually inspired by an X-file episode with a genie who was trapped in a rug and that was her bracelet of slavery that diamond.

The Vixens are based largely on The Charmed Ones and the Weird Sisters. I wasn’t really into Charmed that was Kali’s thing. But the Weird Sisters from Gargoyles are very much like the Vixens. They are immortal; they look alike except for hair. The sisters have one blond, one black and one white. Both groups sever a higher power and both are more often refereed to as a group then their individual names. This why they be voiced by Kath Soucie.

She is one of the most famous voice actors. Other are Jeff Bennett, Tara Strong, Cree Summer, Grey DeLisle, Ron Perlman, Rob Paulsen, too name a few. After awhile you learned to pick up them. It because of them I wish to be a voice actor so badly!
