Free Planet designs: Victor
🕑 Added 2025-04-03 01:10:55 +0000 UTCContinuing the Free Planet design posts, this time focusing on Victor MacLiu.
Victor is a child of privilege, a university trained anthropologist, the son of an Interplanetary Development Alliance admiral. While living with and studying the indigenous population of Aides/Lutheria, he threw in his lot with the revolution. He is a charismatic leader and a ruthless strategist.
First drawing of Victor: it looks like I rejected this one- though I am not sure why. Maybe he just looked too cruel?
This next version of him has more of a square jawed hero look to him, as well as one blinded eye. Since there were already a few characters with eye injuries, I decided against that. But this general look is what I decided to stick with.
I believe I was trying to make Victor look more like Toshiro Mifune in this version. I think he looks too old here.
Since he's a main character and bit of a showboat, I designed a special pistol for him. This is a plasma pistol. Most plasma weapons are large rifles with a backpack mounted power source; presumably Victor has this more expensive model due to his wealthy origins.
Admiral MacLiu, victor's father.
The final design for Victor, seen hire with his blood-brother, Keen Surokko.
A sheet of Victor head sketches, to get him figured out from multiple directions. His profile looks off in both versions, but that bottom drawing looks really good to me.
A digital painting of Victor- this might be an earlier version of his look, since I didn't draw his scar, but he looks like a really sweet guy with a deadly weapon.

Victor MacLiu is bad ass. Liking the first one best. Got plenty of attitude. Loving the plasma pistol as well. The colored one is a little softer. Well rendered but lacking a wee bit of the edge in my opinion. Admiral MacLiu looks good right out of the gate. A real bruiser.
