Character designs bellow

More stuff from uni, this time for character design class. This is Alana, the leader of a group of rebels called the Red birds in a post apocalyptic world. She is a mutant who can turn into a bearded vulture. Her and her brother (character on the far right of the last picture) were made by an organization, which she later betrays, escaping and leaving her brother behing.

Jericho (the character right next to her) is the best pilot of the group, they often work together and have a pseudo-romance, that will, eventually, flourish once the war is over. Chris is Jericho's daughter, a good kid who doesn't yet fully comprehend what her dad does, but still thinks it's cool! Also yes they're wearing Jericho's jacket.

"More fantasy football than rooting for the red or blue home team. More chess than checkers. There’s a slow shift underway from thinking of voting as a simple act of civic duty.

In practice, gamification looks like obsessively reading polls in an attempt to gain an edge or dispel rumors about your party. Or “wasting” your vote on the candidate you want to win, even if the polls say they won’t win, because you want to send a message to the political establishment. Or, my favorite, voting for a candidate you don’t like in a primary to help a candidate you do like win the general election.
