Sketches: Dominance War 2009 I

Some portrait sketches for Dominance War IV. Argh, the portrait is due Monday, and I can't decide which character to actually go and paint (not that I have time this weekend, anyway... :( ). From top to bottom:


Medic - A prodigy in his own time, this young doctor would travel from battlefield, aiding his country. Of course, being a medic causes contact with sick people, and he contracts a disease which causes white spots on his skin, which flake off in moist-yet-chalky, moldlike, bits (think ick, that disease that goldfish get). Since it's contagious, people avoid him, but there are still those who require and purposely search him out for advice. He has retreated underground, and is loyally followed by the other infected because he can, if anything, lessen the pain from their condition.

A free-runner in the drug business who makes the bulk of his money from the horse-racing business. Unafraid of underhanded action, he uses drugs to rig the outcomes of these races (think steroids). This is harder to track than selling drugs to people. On the outside, his business looks like a messenger service. Once an urchin himself, he killed a drug dealer and took his wares as start-up funds. With his money, he makes mechanical alterations to his body and hires a mob of teenagers to do his dirty work for him.

A Bedouin trader, who sells weapons to the highest bidder. The higher the bid, the bigger the weapon. However, he is underhanded and will never let anyone get an advantage over him. He modifies his personal weaponry so that it would outclass anything he sold. His army is a ragtag group of plainclothes spies and merchants which serve to protect him, only a few in each town - a combination of fear and desire for payment. If any actual client saw his face, their eyes and tongue would be taken out.

Here are the failed progresses:
