SciFi and Fantasy Art F10: Janusch by Zachariah Campbell

Not a complex concept here... another spinoff from my time living in the Hassidic neighborhoods of Montreal. Characters in the Japanese fighting-game genre always seem to incorporate really exaggerated ethnic or patriotic elements/cliches, so why not a Jewish world-warrior?

Eli the Lost Prophet hasn't been re-posted in this gallery yet, but here's Janusch Feldstein... proud, semi-orthodox martial artist from New York. He's a strong grappler, and fast too, allowing him to compete on the Unlimited-Class circuit, despite being human with no cyber-enhancements. He hasn't proven himself against the big-names yet, but he's a spirited fighter, and one to watch.

( I'll offer a disclaimer, just in case... this was just kind of a fun idea for a character, and not intended to be read as some kind of negative stereotype. Thanks. )

7 Feb 2003	Maya R. Hirschman	Loading... I find the comment above mine hysterically funny ! You know I liked Eli, and I like this guy even more. He looks like a nice guy, despite being a hunk of kosher beefcake. Zachariah Campbell replies: ""a hunk of kosher beefcake"Thankyou for that wonderful description! I kind of pictured this guy being the nice sincere type... but then, I guess that's the way I drew him. "
7 Feb 2003	Michelle Badger	Loading... PHWOAR!!! He has got the biggest muscles I have ever seen! NICE! I know you're male but could we possibly see more sexy male pix plz??? g Zachariah Campbell replies: "With this kind of reaction, how can I not? Not to worry, I think some more hot guys will make their way into my galleries soon enough... I can't draw just chicks forever, right? "
1 Jul 2003	Stanton F. Fink	Loading... "Hunk of kosher beefcake"? That is a disturbing image. But, the real gist of my comment... Does Janusch's mother tell him things like "Now remember, Janusch, don't make a putz of yourself in the ring"?
5 Dec 2004	Simi Landau Muffin Queen	Loading... Hey, I wants me a hunk of kosher beefcake! Good God, he has peyos. Peyot? Goodness me. I bet he intimidates all the guys in the yeshiva, huh?
31 Dec 2004	Alel	Loading... Man if you eat pork he'll pound you! That hair however...it has to be a disadvantage in a fight...I don't care how big your muscles are someone just has to pull his hair. Zachariah Campbell replies: "His peyots are a symbol of the strength of his faith (Do we hear the echo of Samson here? Another Hebrew strongman..), not necessarily his common sense. Or maybe they're just for show and are actually glued to his kippah... "
31 Dec 2004	Grunge Rock Hamster Nakita007@com...net>	Loading... OOOOoooooOOO i like his hair!! can i use that hair style for a guy of my own? =^______^= he's coolies! Lovies, Zullala Zachariah Campbell replies: "Uh, well... -I- certainly don't lay any claims to that hairstyle. The orthodox Jewish community might have some thoughts though. "
2 Feb 2006	Rampaging Carrot	Loading... Dear Maude I love this XD I was glancing at your main page when I saw a) muscles and b) payos. My first thought was, of course, "OMG! Instead of one uh those fighting monks, a fighting rabbi!" And even if that wasn't quite right, I love it nonetheless. Wait, isn't there a band called the Boxing Buddhas? Fighting Buddhas? Something along those lines... Ahem... Why, yes, I DO have the attention span of a rodent... Right then. This is one of the most unbelievable original ideas I've ever seen, and being Jewish myself, I can't stop laughing. Like Stanton up yonder said, I can immediately imagine a squat, plump little quintessentially Jewish mother kvetching at her son. "What's this!? You always go off fighting... When will you find a nice Jewish girl and settle down? Dressing like such a schlub, go take off that schmata and change into something nicer while I heat up some brisket."
31 Jan 2008	Yho - Khi	Loading... Alel: ’That hair however...it has to be a disadvantage in a fight...I don’t care how big your muscles are someone just has to pull his hair.’ Meh. The Vikings had long hair. Nobody messed with them either.
