This one's pic-heavy, folks.
In my opinion, one of the greatest 2D side-scrolling arcade beat-em-ups ever made was Capcom's Alien Vs. Predator. Released back in 1994, this amazing 3-player game allowed you to pick one of four characters - two Predators, and two Colonial Space Marines - to take on hordes of Aliens who had infested the Earth. If you've never played the game, or if you just haven't seen it in ages, you really need to check out this gameplay video featuring the subject of this thread's custom figure in action: My favorite character from the game is Lt. Linn Kurosawa, a female marine and cyborg whose speed, aerial maneuvers, and martial arts abilities - including her mastery with the Japanese katana - made her a blast to play as. Plus, she just had a really awesome character design. Anyway, I've been dying to do a custom of Linn for ages, and after finally tracking down all the right parts, I gave it a go. This was a very complex job with a lot of different parts involved (including GI Joe, Star Wars, and Japanese Gashapon and Gundam stuff) and I'm really, really proud of how she came out. Incidentally, the hardest part to find was her trademark shoulder armor, and I finally found the perfect piece from a Gundam model kit (the way it's made, it even perfectly snaps onto her shoulder and stays there even when posing). I know the official art above I've posted shows her shoulder armor with blunt spikes and I considered trimming them down before painting it, but since her actual in-game character sprite (see below or in the gameplay video above) depicts her shoulder armor with full-on spikes, I decided to leave 'em. Looks more bad-ass, in my opinion, and I was going more for the exact in-game look anyhow, which also features a much fuller, bigger ponytail: Please comment and thanks for looking!

Hey That is really cool. I loved that game and pissed away more coins than I like to think. She was my favorite character to play, but difficult to master.
Great shots too, I can almost actually hear that distinct slicing sound! |
