Seeing Pred

An illustration of the Predator from the movie Predator. It’s an alien with a metallic helmet and dreadlock-like cranial appendages. It wears some bones as trophies, and has netting over its muscular body, in addition to some sci-fi partial armour which includes a gauntlet sporting two claw blades.

Thanks so much!

Thank you :) As is normal for me I was instantly disappointed in spots I missed the likeness, but I'm glad if any of him comes through. I can always try him again another day! He was one of my favourites too

A drawing of Gears of Wars characters Augustus Cole, Marcus Fenix, and Damon Baird. They’re drawn light-heartedly with beefy proportions in beefy armour, each holding a rifle with chainsaw at the front like it’s a bayonet. Cole rests his elbow on Fenix’s shoulder, and they all scowl.

Dr. Wright #simcity

An illustration of Dr. Wright, the player’s advisor in the SNES version of Sim City by Maxis (and designed by Will Wright, who lends the character’s surname).
