Reptilian Alien art!

[sgtyayap]

I've broken ground on my dA account. Not only have I submitted a pencil drawing (which, without colors, I feel I do SO much better at ), I have also submitted something completely original! ;D

[RandallBoggs]

Nice work. Simplistic, yet also like the clothed/unclothed forms. And like the darkened articulation points for the suit. *chuckles* But those feet look familiar heh heh.

[sgtyayap]

Thank you. Alas, simplicity is my only thing.

Actually, Randall was only a partial influence. The bulk of it was inspired by the thugs from Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.

As for what this guy is for, it's part of a game idea I have in which this individual is the playable character. Basically, in my idea, it's the HUMAN race that has the villains, starting a nuclear war with the Xirg (his race name) simply because of the popular xenophobia among us. Only one human EVER bothers changing his prejudicial ways, which is especially a plot twist because his psychotic father was the brains behind the first strike on the Xirg.

Be sure to let me know what you think of the storyline as well, everyone!

[RandallBoggs]

Well the basics are what make up evertyhing ^_^

Ahh.

*chuckles* Reminds one of District 9 or in fact perhaps Avatar heh.

[sgtyayap]

Again, thank you.

I guess in retrospect, it IS similar to District 9, even despite I never even WATCHED that movie. Still, this is all-out war on several places on Earth.

In fact, another detail I think I'm going to throw in for this sci-fi shooter game is my Terminator-esque P-9000 fan character, as the human race obviously needs SOME sort of technology to have the upper hand.

[RandallBoggs]

I watched it once, thank Redbox, and it was pretty good. Essentially the aliens were treated basically LIKE aliens (in the governmental sense) and sent to live in "District 9". The story shows us that a human employed to handle their relocation is inadvertly has his arm changed into an alien one. Needless to say, his employeers take the opportunity to force him to use alien weaponry, even kill one.

Humans tend to take a fancy to reverse engineering when it comes to alien invaders/relationships. Even in peace, they still try to do it covertly.

[sgtyayap]

Wow. That's not only sad, it's also plausible. If aliens come here, they most likely WILL get treatment like that, even if they come in peace.

[RandallBoggs]

*nods* Though when you think about it, it makes sense. Humanity hasn't developed a traveling fleet of it's own, and aliens traveling here would have to have something advanced, and humans would want it.

[sgtyayap]

Ah.

Well, in any case, in my game idea, there is also a Randall easter egg. ;D And it can be accessed through a series of doors in which you need to type in a letter combination a la the Myst games, where, if you want to access the easter egg, you type in, "R A X I P". What is that backwards?

[RandallBoggs]

*chuckles* Interesting easter there heh heh.

[sgtyayap]

Yep.

Though, the easter egg where Randall is concerned will vary depending on what happens in the official sequel to M.I.

[RandallBoggs]

If you can call it "official".

[sgtyayap]

True that. And then again, we don't know for certain, yet. Hence, why Randall's cameo in my game is not set in stone.

I saw it! I think it looks cool! my advice, study a bit of anatomy aaaaaaaand... buy a sketchbook! It makes simple sketches look profesional!

Once again, GREAT sketches! :3

[sgtyayap]

Sorry, I just found out this was here.

Thank you. Though, what do you mean by studying anatomy?

As for the sketchbook, yes, I probably SHOULD get one of those.
