Description Designs for personifications of Shinto, Taoism, and Confucianism.

SHINTO (also known as Shintoism and kami-no-michi) is a peaceful and well-mannered man who lives on the island nation of Japan and coexists with a number of strange spirits. He is often nicknamed 'Ziggy' by Chris because of all the shide seen at his house. Because he grew up on his own, Shinto has developed unique traditions and beliefs. Shinto is deeply connected with nature and spirits.
TAOISM, or Daoism, is a deeply philosphical thinking man who lives in China with his brother Confucianism. He has a well developed morals and believes in stuff like qi, wu wei and the Tao (the way, path). He has a ba gua on the back of his robes.
CONFUCIANISM is Taoism's brother and is also very philosophical thinking. Confucianism follows the teachings of Confucius and behaves very honourable and respectful.

I've also been working on Human names for them, please tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions:
Shinto - Shintaro Mizushima
Taoism - Zhou Tao
Confucianism - Lu Kong

Pretty cool concept, where's Buddhism though? it's the far East's biggest school of thought.

I like the names, though why not name Confucianism as Kong Fu Tze, on the name of it's founder? just a thought.

True, but I plan to place him with his older brother Hinduism and sister Jainism since he originates from that family ^_^

Makes sense, though technically, those are still Eastern faiths. But yeah, I can see your point, one for the Chinese oriented faiths, and one for the Indian oriented faiths can't wait to see how you'd draw Jainism, lol, I can already see Hinduism with 6 arms

Are you making a story with those characters? or are you just giving personalities to different faiths?

Nah, I've just been personifying them. I've had a few ideas for short strips though.
