I had an idea about putting Banda Singh Bahadur in a fantasy sci-fi setting.
To make it sound different. I called him Bah'dr. He is from this alien race, selected by the leader to use his skills in a better way instead of wasting them.
This story will be called "One Will" because their beliefs revolve around the One, kind of like Sikhism. Obiviously, their beliefs will be according to my understanding of Sikhi so that helps differentiate more from the original Sikhs and Banda Singh.   [/quote]
This could get you into trouble Bhagat ji, as there will be some who in all sincerity would find this apostasy. It is a good idea to change the name per your plan to stay out of the storm of controversy. Some controversies are not worth it. Pick your battles and remain in chardi kala.

Cudn't agree more and would like to add "Oh, and I would ratehr have people appreciate the real Banda Singh bahadur rather than Bah'dr. So thats one reason i woudn't personally build up on that idea."

I guess you will find out more when I create that race (known as "Raw") and release some pieces of writings on it. Dont expect it anytime soon... |

Narayanjot Kaur,
Cool Idea, but just the superhero thing in general, I think it would make a difference if it was for a younger audience or like an older audience, because maybe a kids show would be liked byeverybody. | | The following member appreciates BazGrewal Ji for the above message. | |

I need to know how many people would be interested in seeing a Sikh Superhero and
seeing comics, movies and videogames on such characters?
(All other factors neutral meaning, if you would like to see Sikh history being portrayed in those media, then it hasn't been taken care of, its not a problem, its neutral )
By superhero, I mean an imaginary one like Superman, Batman.
oh BTW, I didn't mention some examples of Sikh superheroes can be found on www.sikhiart.blogspot.com
Fateh!
Bhagat Singh | I'm actually in the process of writing a story about one.
It will be quite interesting as it is relevant to events that have happened in our history.  | | The following members appreciate Randip Singh Ji for the above message. | |

Dear Bhagat Ji
Not sure about Superheroes or other religions but I have come across Christian heroes and detectives. So, personally I think it's a fantastic idea and look forward to seeing how you develop this concept further.

Can I also take this opportunity to commend you on your artwork I have viewed on another site...just curious..what package have you used?
There's something remarkably lifelike about your subjects drawn via digital media... |

Seeker9 ji,
I use photoshop cs4. Though I have been trying to experiment with corel painter since I heard it has a more painterly feel to it. |
