Okay, I have to admit it... I am a total Predator geek. The Alien vs. Predator books are still some of my "just for fun" favorites (no big philosophical themes, just shits-and-giggles blood and guts). A "yautja" is the name of the species which is more popularly known as a "Predator."

Back when my dad had a then-top-of-the-line Pentium 166MHz computer, I played as a yautja female under the screen name DutcH8r. But when peole kept asking me, "What's so wrong with the Dutch?" I decided to scrap that. ("Dutch" is the name of Schwarzenegger's character in the original Predator movie, and seeing as he killed one, and I played as one... yeah.) I'll have to brush up on the yautja language to remember what her real name was, but it translated to "Night Blood."

0.7mm mechanical pencil sketch, two hours of being PISSED OFF at the boyfriend. I always do my best work when I want to kill someone, and this piece is no exception. Thanks, Jay.

Predator action figure (yes, I own one) for armor reference after I scrapped three other failed armor doodles. 'Cept this one's tweaked, because she's gots boobies, she does. (I can prove female yautja have boobies!) And no mesh, because I didn't want to screw with the cool mottling of her skin I acheived. IGNORE THE P-O-S SPEAR. I winged that, and crashed and burned.
