Regional Chancellor Uvei Mortis. A few weeks ago I posted a painting of a really detailed alien looking face, but there’s no way I’m gonna draw that face over and over again in a comic book…

And a kitbashed image to show relative scale…

This guy stands about 8 feet tall, and is mostly mechanical. Red is the signature color for the Galactic Imperium; for basic grunts like this guy, red will be a major element in the design. For higher ups like Uvei Mortis, red will play a much more subtle role in the visual design. For scientists and middle management types like Fentonov, the red will be more of a 50-50 design element.

Oh yeah, and this is obviously a revised/refined version of the sketch I posted of this guy a while back.

Vitaly “Adam” Fentonov is a Scientist Top Grade, working for the greater glory of the Galactic Imperium. He was recruited by the Imperium as a young scientist while still in the Academy, and has been a loyal Imperium subject ever since. Lately however, Fentonov has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the politics of the Imperium, especially in the case of its treatment of artificial life, which is one of Fentonov’s specialties. He probably would have defected to the Planetary Federation already were it not been for the fact that his beloved daughter Isolde remains a loyal Imperium subject.

Old school, like 80s style!

Ben Grimm! I tried adding a bit of color this time.

He’s fishing or something, I dunno…
