What's this? Progress? *gasp*

Not 23 days anymore

But I think I might have come to a decision regarding both the artist and the portrait model. And although it's far from a likeness at this point I think you might be able to identify the person from the gear....

In answer to the little question mark (which I guess isn't about her bum)

Well I did search for her gun but it's not like there's just the one, and the first ref I had didn't show the whole thing and it was mostly in shadow. Then when I tried to find a better one I couldn't find anything with that exact one. I ended up using a photo of a small figurine.... Probably not the best choice, maybe Banj's ref will be more useful...

The figurine did use the same gun as in Banj's pic though, which doesn't attach the uh... harness? in the same place as the first ref... I think I'll have to do a hybrid thing.... (as I am with her clothes, too)

At a certain point in the film she tapes two guns together, which could cause some confusion in a dimly lit photo.

EDIT - There's also the fact you are using Ripley from Alien with gun from Aliens.

I'm using 4 or 5 refs of Ripley from various films.... I'm not really going for geek level accuracy here
