Well, it seems that you’ve managed to stubble across a mine of previously unimaginable awesomeness here.I’d prefer a diamond mine, but awesomeness isn’t bad either. Cheers!

Definitely awesome. Excellent designs and execution. Love them!Thanks you!
@Trekkie said:
Awesome design! The faceplate is especially cool.Thanks. I guess it’s time for new headgear items – before I’m running out of ideas for new combinations…

Excellent! I’m a big fan of multi-armed humanoids. Love the differences between the two characters. They could either be from distinct classes (political leader/foot soldier), time periods (ancient/modern), or maybe the invaders take on specific weaponry/attire based on the world’s they’re invading. Very cool stuff!Tanky you very much! I was thinking more of a hierarchy thing within a particular class – military class in this case. So the guy on the left would be a warlord/general and the guy on the right something like a commanding officer of a battalion.
The other two classes (politician/scientists and working class/foot soldiers) will consist of two different species which I’m already working at. But I also like your idea of different time periods. Gonna keep that in mind…Thanks Wheeljack!
So – to jumpstart this topic I’m gonna start with a redesign/reimagination of some aliens that are part of the lethal trinity called “The Harvesters”. Remember my old “Draq“? Well, here’s their new incarnation:
Headshot:
The Croa are a reptilian species of shapeshifters which place covert agents in political, social, economic and military key positions on planets they have chosen for an invasion. These agents live for decades and sometimes even centuries undetected among the native inhabitants of that world and spy on their defense structures, sabotage any early warning systems and ensure in a variety of ways that their invading army finds ideal conditions on arrival. This of course includes terraforming by global warming, since reptiles are known to prefer a warmer environment.
Phew! This topic is gathering dust after one month without posting something. But, don’t worry – there will be a bucketload of “new” characters coming soon…
Meanwhile with christmas coming up in a few weeks:
Are you *******’ me?!
I’m talkin’ about where in the ‘machine that tattoo’s located. ‘Cos I can’t find it in there … -_-

Madjack, I don’t know what I like more, the characters themselves or the group shots!. I gotta ask, is that 100% Hero Machine?Nope, I use Photoshop for my group shots – imho way too much work to do it with the ‘machine if you have more than 2 or 3 characters…
@WMDBASSPLAYER said:
i’ve always found group shots hard as hell even with the assist of a photo editor.Really? I find it relatively easy – but then again I’m a professional web & graphic designer, so that could be an explanation…
You asked for it!
This was my very first team (a “little” older as you can see):
Recently finished:
And some random villiains:
The day when robots finally take over the world will be a nasty one with those creatures you produce. Amazing – but also somewhat frightening…
@Trekkie said:
They all look awesome! Very shadowy (I’m assuming that was the intention?)Thank you! Now that you mention – yeah, there might be a connection to their groups name…
@Anarchangel said:
Gotta agree with Trekkie. They’re all fantastic.Thank you very much. Always glad to hear when people like my characters.

Though I will admit that I’ve seen better, the creativity makes up for it. These guys are so original.Oh, dear. I hope I didn’t offend your eyes! Well, guess I can’t compete with masters like you…
