What's a Yautja?

Athena sounds good as well.


EDIT: Well, Wikipedia redirected me to the Predator page, so I guess Yautja is to Predator as Xenomorph is to Alien? Sounds interesting...

[Dan Knight]

Ok, here's a sketch of...Oh, bollocks. It was Grace you wanted as a Pred. I got the two requests mixed up.

Anyways, here's a sketch of Susan as a Predator:

Spoiler

I figure by the point this drawing was made, Susan has been a captive of the Predators for five years, during which she has evaded death at the hands of the Predators undergoing their rite of passage, helped wipe out a nest of Xenomorphs, and become a respected honorary member of the Predators.

Well, I'd rather not see Athena disrespected by putting Grace as her. :V

I don't recall any squirrels in Greek myth, but there's apparently one in Norse myth who carries messages up and down the World Tree.


On the pic, it looks competent but I've never seen the movies, so...

[Dan Knight]

Looking up reference pictures of female predators was...interesting. One in particular, I did use as the main reference for most of Susan's clothing, but I had to make some...adjustments. Let's just say that the strip of cloth on the right-hand side (our left) of Susan's...torso...was only fishnet in the reference picture...

And for some reason, the woman in that picture was just that - a woman, not a predator. Apparently, she's a character from the first canon Aliens Vs Predator comic.

Susan makes a good predator, She might even actually be OK with this

And here's the inked and coloured version:

I'm finding it very hard to draw Susan as Athena. You might want to pick something else.

[Dan Knight]

Just thought. I always thought Grace was black, but the skin colour I used for her was taken from one of the comics, (second panel), and the picture came out looking like Grace was just tanned white. I don't get it.

[Youwillneverknow]

Heh Heh, The sight of Grace wearing that armour makes me laugh, very well drawn and coloured

So I got an idea...

The basic garb of the Knights Teutonic.

Imperial infantry in the mid-1600s.

Mix 'em together and slap 'em on a crusader catgirl. With more of a Sun-like symbol instead of the cross.

[Dan Knight]

Awesome. Let me finish my breakfast, and I'll get right on it.

[Man on the Moon]

Unfortunately, I gotta leave for work early this week and won't be able to see it until Thursday. :T

[Dan Knight]

Hmm...I've never drawn a catgirl before. How biologically accurate should I make her? I mean, for one thing, cats have more than one pair of nipples. Should that translate? Or should I pick the other option, and have her human with cat ears and a tail? Or somewhere in between? It's an interesting conundrum.

[Youwillneverknow]

while the traditional one in ears and a tail I would add some claws and perhaps paws that might look good dress up in armour
on the other hand seeing something more akin to puss in boots level cat like might look good to.

[Dan Knight]

I think I've got her design sorted. In my preliminary sketches, I have her looking kind of like a cross between Flora from twoKinds and Kat from Sequential Art. But with more of a feline face, similar to statues of Bastet when viewed front on.

[Youwillneverknow]

Either Kat or Flora would look good in that armour, this is going to be a good drawing

[Dan Knight]

Hopefully.

[Dan Knight]

Figured that you might like a look at Verena before her armour is drawn, so you can see the exact cat-girl look I was going for. NSFW in a vague, Barbie-ish way.

Spoiler

[Youwillneverknow]

Looking good I can celarly see the cat within her

[Dan Knight]

Did you know that surcoats are hard to draw? Here's a picture of Verena without a surcoat:
