Icarus 1

Finally, something to post! I finished up with the first poster of two we're doing for our last project in art class. The second is all penciled in and ready to be colored, and I'll have that ready to post next week.

Enjoy, and please critique to your heart's content. :D

Pictured here is a poster of a game idea I came up with for this project. The game name is Icarus, named after the first inter-solar colony ship of humanity. This colony ship, built and sent as a global effort to show off man's colonial prowess, was sent to Alpha Centurai. On arriving, an Alien Slave race took the colonists into custody so that they could do the "Keeper's" manual labor. The game takes place 30 years later. The character portrayed on the poster and the main protagonist is the player's character. Her name is Ziti, and she works as a scout for the mining operations taking place. She is used to treacherous terrain, close quarters, and working alone. In her free time she works for the Human Resistance Group.

As part of the Alien's attempt to maintain their control and avoid any kind of resistance, they bolted shut the mouths of all human beings and the offspring thereof.
