Female Alien Characters Inspiration

This reference is from warhammer 40k art. It is the god of decay. I would like to try an attempt to use this as reference but again try and add female aspects.

A great image to reference from. I can tell the character is female but this art looks too tree like to me rather than rotting or swamp like.

Another character inspiration for Snotlin race. I like the look of this character and will use this to reference from. I will however need to try and add female features to this character and make it suitable for my game.

Character inspiration for Snotlin race. Looking at the shape for the character Tiko. I think this is a good place to start as I want the character to be ugly and quite large.

Another character inspiration from the character Morgana. This is more along the line i am looking for. I will use this image heavily to reference the character Angel Eyes. From this image I really like the hair, pose and body shape along with the mechanical look of the character.

A character inspiration from the game League of Legends. I would attempt to use the wings and her body shape but change her facial features and color to make her look like shes from a planet of fire e.g red hair, some flames.

A more revealing character. Could be used for Angel Eyes with alterations to body shape and style. I want the character to be good looking but for the audience to tell that she is the protagonist.

More inspiration for Pyraxoid race and Angel eyes. I like the shape and look of this art but would need to work with traditional western clothing around her body spikes if possible,

Pyraxoid race inspiration. I am looking for a race born of fire. I could use the wings, horns and the general shape of the female here. Possibility for the character Angel Eyes.

Object association

I like the color scheme of this lamp. Could be used on some clothing. Also the modern shape of the base could be used in a building some where.

A modern energy saving light bulb. I like the shape of the new bulbs. The light it emits isn't as bright, I could maybe use a similar effect when lighting my game.

The "Spaghetti western" Architecture

A modern fake replica of traditional 1900's western building. Will be able to use as reference material.

Wooden saloon. More colorful. Could be a modern representation. Will be good to reference from as my story is based in the future.

Pictures of a Saloon in traditional western architecture. Made from wood.

More wooden buildings. One road through town.

Example of wooden buildings. Traditional western style architecture.

Shows traditional western buildings and the spread layout of the towns. Usually one road through the middle, buildings made from wood.

Traditional western females

Early cowgirl. Black and white image. Can make out the traditional hat and rifle. Will need color images for better reference on clothing and architecture.

Better example of cowgirl dressed for a rodeo. Will need more color examples.

Cowgirl in color. The clothing with tassels you see in modern day. The whip could also be considered a melee weapon for my designs.

A drawn concept image of a cowgirl by PixelPirate on deviantart.com. This image is exactly the sort of character i want for my Blondie (The good) although I will change the shape of her body and her clothing significantly but this is brilliant reference.

Jessica Simpson plays a modern cowgirl in dukes of hazard film. Gives me reference for the Blondie cowgirl of a sexy figure.

More reference from a cowgirl film. A far more gritty look and far less revealing clothing.
