Blizzard Blade Animations: Behind The Legend of Korah

Behind The Legend of Korah

Korah's Beginnings

Korah Hyoutetsu was created by Alex Torres, also known as Korah Hyoutetsu or Xela. The original choice of the story was insprited by the eight elemental blades created by Snow. The choice of the Blizzard Blade was originated from a variety of reasons. The basic four elements of fire, water, wind and earth had been used quite frequently before for a multitude of main characters. Ice seemed like the perfect element that had not been used too often that had both fit Korah's with having a "cold" past and that could have a variety of uses that had never been seen before.

Korah's personality came a lot of my own personality along with a mixture of other characters. His design originated from a few sprites that were edited and combined to create Korah. His design evolved into something much more unique and much more different to create a character never seen before.

The Storyline

TLOK's story line is based off of Snow Taradien's written story 'Scars'. The original story was created just for fun, but eventually turned into a Flash animation by Xela Projects (originally NintendoFlash), out of the love of the story and the love of Korah.

Through time, the story got more and more complex and combined with many other ideas from many users from the forums.

Animation Inspiration

The animation style of The Legend of Korah was inspirted by Dragonball Z, thus you may see many similarities between TLOK and DBZ in fighting style and sound effects. Other animes also help contributed with ideas, such as The Last Airbender.

The Legend of Korah is will continue to be animated until the series is completed. In order to make this animation succeseful, we will need many things; so any ideas, sprites, and help will be gladly accepted. Comments and critiques are welcome as well.
