AJ and Skinner Re-Do

So finally some characters. AJ (the female) is the heroine of my thesis story, kidnapped and experimented on using alien technology which she now uses to her benefit in a plot of revenge. Likewise for the Skinner character, minus the hero and revenge parts. I like him much better now than the god-awful first attempt.

The Organism

The environment for my thesis is a depleted mining town covered in an alien growth. This is my first painted design attempt. There's definitely a nod to Beksinski with this image, and that type of bleak moody atmosphere is generally what I'm aiming for.

Good Dog, Now Sit...

Creature design for my thesis: an "attack dog" to be let loose on the unsuspecting and part of an army led by the Captain.

Newsies

I got Painter 11 in the mail yesterday and its been at least a year since I've messed with program, so I did a couple of sketches to get the feel of it again. The bottom one is a potential design for my Skinner character, but looking at it now I need to develop it beyond the SubZero/Borg look. Anytime I think about this character I always revert back to the enemies in Quake 2, so I plan on researching that more to see if its an idea to run with or avoid.

Skinner

This is a thesis character, with the idea that he was a farm hand/laborer who was captured and made into a killing machine. I'm not 100% on the design yet, but its a good first run and I used a different set of texture brushes this time.
