Even though Budos left arm is all....weird, I'm really diggin that design. Not sure what it is, maybe just the simplicity, enough gear to do the job but not enough to weigh him down too much.

Thanks for the comments Wry1.
Here's a quick doodle of Raptor... I was trying to come up with a way to make him look menacing instead of, you know, stupid: I don't think it's possible to translate that menace into a "realistic" digitally airbrushed image though. A grown man in a bird suit just looks ridiculous (to me, at least) any way you cut it. |

Four pilots:
Ace, Ghostrider, Slipstream, Payload Design notes: - Ace's head/face is based on a headshot of Jason Gedrick, star of the 1980s jet fighter action film Iron Eagle, which had the misfortune of being released in the same year as the massively successful Top Gun starring Tom Cruise. I actually prefer Iron Eagle to Top Gun (although I'd rather not re-watch either film to be honest... I can think of better things to waste ~2 hours of my life on), just because it's got 100% more Louis Gossett, Jr., 100% less Tom Cruise, and maybe 50% less homoerotic subtext disguised as "alpha dog" macho posturing (ha ha... not that there's anything wrong with that). - Here's a list of the barely visible right shoulder unit patches on Ace's, Slipstream's, and Payload's flight suits: Ace -- 7th Special Operations Squadron Slipstream -- 18th Flight Test Squadron (gives me an excuse to outfit him in a g-suit despite being a special operations pilot... the 18th FTS is the Air Force Special Operations Command's primary tactics development unit so its conceivable that their pilots might occasionally wear g-suits during the course of their duties) Payload -- 15th Special Operations Squadron |

Neat suggestion. Having Raptor as a flamboyantly dressed crooked corporate accountant is definitely in line with the aesthetic I'm going for, and makes hima perfect viillain "in these troubled economic times"
