@Chaos Burn: yea, some characters don't lend themselves as well to the future thing but honestly I stopped sweating that aspect with this contest a long time ago. There's only so many lasers and glowing suits you can pull off and trying to force it on a character where you don't see it produces less than desirable results. I figure this character wouldn't change all that much in the future and my real goal was just to make a decent Prince of Persia pic I could include in my gallery.
Couldn't really pull off an interesting back story either cause I don't really know anything about the character, just winged it off the visual references I could find through google. Besides, when they go to voting they never include the back stories so it's kind of a non motivating to include one to explain why it's the future, especially when your not 'feeling' it.
The contest has 2099 in the title, but the future is subjective, we could just as easily get knocked back to the stone age and have no fancy electrical gadgets and things like that, so with this character I suppose that's the route I'd go explaining why he looks the same and not all hi-tech. :)
I'm sure someone will figure a creative way to include lasers or something more futuristic, I just had a tough time working that in with the time I had to work on it.
