I've been an FPW / RJ fan for a looong time (frighteningly old am i, young Jedi), but I haven't checked in with the forum in a while (so long that I forgot my id and had to re-register).

I think most of we RJ fans recognize that there are very few images / depictions of a Rakosh on the web, or anywhere else for that matter. I've seen all the ones I could find from this forum - some really nice work there IMHO (BTW, is Rakosh plural and Rakoshi singular?).

I'd love to see somebody organize all the available images in one site (which would maybe help convince some other folks with talent to add more).

Regardless, I always wanted to ask if anyone else on the board saw the reasonably bad second Tomb Raider film - "Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life".

Fairly late in the movie, Angelina and company are attacked by a bunch of "tree demons" in some gnarled old forest they are trekking through.

I thought those beasties were a perfect representation of the rakosh. They were only on film for maybe less than a minute, but I thought they nailed it perfectly - tall, muscular, three taloned fingers, shark-like head.

Anybody else see this film and feel the same way? I'd be interested to know if the film special effects designer that created these was an RJ fan.

If you haven't seen it, and you can fast forward through it, it's worth getting to that part.

Just wondering,

FX Moon
