Me: ok, so if I move 'Spider' over here then he'll have a good shot on that codex, but for this turn I first need to put him on overwatch so that he doesn't ge- Central: COMMANDER, THE ALIEN DATA TRANSMISSION IS ALMOST COMPLETE, WE NEED TO DESTROY THAT RELAY NO-

Old sketches of Bradford with bonus off model Jynn in the middle. Have to edit them a fair bit before slapping them on the other blog.

Commander, you can’t just ask if the snakes have boobs! But we all thought it the first time around, right? Or just me?

This dude really looked for her for 20 years. Strategic genius? The aliens will destroy the world to find her? Is this the same Commander we are talking about? I do like to think she can be pretty forward and blunt, type A personality, but take away the red tape for a lack of filter. She just has the guts to say it out loud haha

well that explains the magnificent eyeliner he sports in the game :D

Oh Central~

Because every time I watch the Parks and Rec Gazebo Bathroom Invasion scene I cannot help but think about these two.

Technically my Commander does have a face, but this was funnier in my head.

Mysterious person: “commander, we need you for another mission.”

Commander: “Another!? I already saved the human race from aliens twice. What more do you people want from me?”

MP: “To travel to an island and rescue dinosaurs from a volcano.”

Commander: “….”

MP: “…”

Commander: “Fuck yeah I’m in. Bradford, round up our crew. We’re going dinosaur hunting!”

Bradford face palms.

Somebody *laugh* somebody please take the plot from Jurassic World Lost Kingdom and put the X-Com people in it as the good guys.

Excuse the quality because phone photos and I forget how yellow my room light is.

More Central back scars exploration and a quick front view. Extended the one on the right to go up the shoulder. The dark/colored in ones are plasma burns. I like to imagine the one on his right shoulder hurts ever so often, he’s not fond of people touching him there, and he flinches if someone gives him a hearty smack there.

And the front view dialogue means Jynn and Central had another sparring match and guess what? She broke his nose so massage time later!

Can either of you learn how to let go?

Sad-ish future scene of that VoidWalker AU.

Look, I made a thing!

I did see the work of other’s Commanders and I did feel a little less alone in the fact that I put so much thought into mine. I love to see it.

This is Diane Whittaker, who funnily enough was originally based/inspired by my oldest, most beloved Sonic OC from my childhood for how I imagined my Commander’s personality to be. Now she is her own free-standing character. Like I so commonly see, she has a particularly strong bond with her Central Officer Bradford, too.
