I've started my character development and as part of that I have to create profiles for my sci-fi duo, so here is my first attempt at the protagonist Syriff along with some thumbnails and a bit of the photoshop painting I've been doing.
Character profile
|
Name:
Syriff
|
Role: Escaped galactic prisoner
Leading the Duo
Age: 25
Height: 7’10”
Weight: 132 kg
Hair colour: white and brown
Eye colour: Steel blue
Personality: Although his outward
appearance is that of a menacing brute he is calm and collected constantly
thinking ahead with a quiet and still mind like that of a much older
strategist.
Clothing: Synth-skin a bio-mechanical
wetsuit like material that regulates body temperature which protects against
high-tech weapon blasts such as plasma or laser rifles, which he wears under
his rough leathers and scrap metal armour. His hands are bound
Weapon(s): Mechanical leg prosthetics with built-in thrusters offering
enhanced kick speed, flight (depending on fuel) and strength. The machinery is permanently fused to his
flesh and bone. Skills: Strategically minded, Occupation: He was a farm hand on the
agricultural planet Ka’orn until he was imprisoned for protecting a wild
female alien from Galactic State Marines a collection of alien species united
under a morally corrupt high Council
Back story: A simple farm boy who
spent a lot of time with his adoptive grandfather who taught him the value of
patients, cunning and hard work through the tasks he set him and the board
games he forced him to play. His grandfather’s health had been in decline for
a while but by Syriff’s 20th birthday he could no longer leave his
bed, leaving Syriff struggling to maintain the farm and pay the bills. Until,
one day the Galactic State Marines came to Ka’orn offering the inhabitants
the ultimatum of join the GSM or die. The government and its people refused and
fighting began with thousands of drop ships raining troops down on the people
of Ka’orn. On the 3rd day of the attack Syriff awoke at his grandfather’s
bedside to gunfire on the farm, he quickly grabbed his grandfather’s service
rifle from the wall and ran out to the fields. He found a female Tuskar (a
feral race of battle raised, sub-humans) with laser burns running from a
group of GS Marines, he quickly ran to her aid shooting two of the marines
and leading her to seek cover in his house but the marines quickly surrounded
and entered his house. Fearing for his grandfather he ran for his room but
took a blast to the legs and losing consciousness as he hit the ground. He came
to, to find his grandfather trying to fight the marines but falling to the
ground. The Tuskar was restrained but wildly snapping at the leader, a humanoid
with a red streak through his hair walking towards his grandfather. Through
blurred eyes he watched as the marine stomped on the back of his grandfather’s
head slowly twisting his heel as he reached for his gun. Syriff struggled to
the doorway barely able to crawl, screaming for him to stop. He heard the
leader mutter “filthy backwater scum” as he fired the gun, Syriff reached for
his grandfather’s body but before he could his face met with the leaders boot
knocking him unconscious again. He awoke on a prison mining planet
with the Tuskar by his side, his hands bound and what was left of his legs
held together by metal and wires. The prisoners were forced to mine to get
food, there were no guards on the planet just automated ships that would trade
food for the minerals and ore which they mined daily. After a year Syriff lead an uprising with the Tuskar Chi’ara by his side, using low tech
projectiles, crude explosives and even nets made from scrap wiring, to
capture the food ships. The plan worked and they are now on their way to seek
revenge on the Marine and the rulers of the Galactic State that took their
lives from them. Just some thumbnails I'll follow this up with some scans of my sketchbook thumbs next week.

Below is a sketch form a life drawing class from about 2 years ago, as part of my digital painting class I have scanned it and painted into it on photoshop. Now that I have it all painted I plan to pick from a list of female demons or mythical creatures and have some fun making her into one of them.
For my next post I'll have some vehicle thumbs and concepts of my Magnetic Ore Harvester.
