Sketches, all cleaned up and stuff. The finals coming real quick. I think the toughest part is thinking of the poses and the expression to put each person in. Everyone has their own expression for their character, or what they want to be in the Matrix - so that's the most challenging thing.
I was re-watching Matrix Re-Loaded to get some screenshots, and I was inspired to use a pose For Mindsweepx:
Mindsweep pulling a "Neo" move. It was a move I saw in Reloaded, where Neo fights the 3 Agents after Smith gstops by that underground meeting to drop off the earpiece. darn ... no eyelasers. He's awesome at fighting s I figured that Neo jump would suit Mindsweepx best. The outfit I had pictures of Mindsweep in was kind of a Neo-ish outfit, so the idea fit.
I really hope Zion gets some more positive points going for it sooner or later. I mean, I'm a machine person - but I understand the great need for balance. When I watched the scene from Revolutions where Neo was making the Truce Deal with DuesExMachina, I remembered what this whole game was spun off of originaly. That 1 scene ... Here's to hoping Zion gets some kudos soon!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neo: I only ask to say what I've come to say, after that, do what you want and I won't try to stop you.
Deus Ex Machina: Speak.
Neo: The program 'Smith' has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city as he spread through the Matrix. You cannot stop him, but I can.
Deus Ex Machina: We don't need you! We need nothing!
Neo: If that's true, then I've made a mistake and you should kill me now.
Deus Ex Machina: What do you want?
Neo: Peace.
(Zion: Temple entrance)
{Sentinels charge the temple entrance, then suddenly stop}
Niobe: What are they doing? *to Morpheus* What are you doing!?
Lock: Morpheus!
(01)
Deus Ex Machina: And if you fail?
Neo: I won't.
(Zion: Temple entrance)
Niobe: {looks up and sees sentinels slowly circling} Neo.
Morpheus: He fights for us.

ZippyTheSquirrel!! Yes - here he is. This one is kinda puzzling, had me stumped for a while - but I really wanted to do something fun. Zippy has control over the Squirrel programs in the Matrix. He can send an attack squad of squirrels after you on a split second notice!! - Okay, that is totally silly, but it's really funny!! It IS the Matrix you know ...
ZippyTheSquirrel with his attack squad.
And I made a little extra of him - The most popular cartoon show in The Matrix. All the Bluepill children get up every Saturday morning to watch the Zippy The Squirrel Show!! He has magical Red and Blue acorns. Ooouuuu

Here's for a really close friend of mine. RedLeopard! I am sure lots of you on Syntax know him, he sure loves to talk. He's super nice and pretty much always cheerful. And always a strong, die hard, supporting member of the Tetragrammaton. RedLeopard is really a great guy, sometimes a bit ... talkative ... but he's really upbeat and friendly.
The Leopard image in the back will be much more faded and absorbed into the background. I sort of want him to be his cheerful, go-lucky self, but have the fierce spirit of the leopard behind him. And red!

I really like doing Player Characters - ppl who have created their own little on-going RP characters. It's really neat to read their stories and learn what their character is all about. She gave me the description which I included below with the pic.
"Dreamliner is a Sentient program in control of flight systems around the Matrix. She was constructed to work under the Metacortex Company's Flight & Research Development Division. She works under the guise of "Terra Krause", the oddly charming & attractive, yet elusive Engineering Executive at Metacortex. She secretly develops plans and designs of flight efficiency for the machines outside The Matrix simulation. Dreamliner also has a hand in occasionally writing various small dream programs for the Bluepill-humans."
People love their characters! I hope I can bring them to life as much as I can for them
