Predator: Shogun inked

I am inordinately pleased with this guy. This is probably the most ridiculously complicated armoring scheme I've ever done. I would like to thank The Last Samurai, my McFarlane Spawn Samurai action figures, and the very few full-body shots of Predator "killers" in the AvP Three World War comics for their help with this project. There's a lot of slap-dash from all of these different resources in this fellow's design.

This is a kiriban for . He wanted a Shogun Predator, which I took to mean something akin to a Killer from the most recent Predator and AvP comics. However, I took it a step further and hunted up some actual samurai armor. It just wasn't *alien* enough. I had to go to my McFarlane action figures to get the kind of absurd detailing I really needed.

Color comin' soon, though others are welcome to color this guy while I'm dithering around.

*sings merrily and dances around the studio*

Everybody was kung-fu fighting;
Those cats was fast as lightning -
In fact it was a little bit frightnin';
But they fought with expert timing...
