Sarah - EMP Poster References

I noticed on the EMP website a section for the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and the inductees for 2012.. James Cameron being one of them. I decided to take 3 of his films mentioned and close favorites of my own for my inspiration.
While researching reference photos I had in mind the idea of Hero/Heroine vs. Villian and the idea of the two facing off. For Aliens I focused on Ellen Ripley and the Alien.. for Terminator, Sarah Connor and the Terminator.. and for Avatar, Jake or Neytiri and Colonel Quaritch (I think I will focus on Neytiri to keep things consistent with a female hero throughout).

Aliens

The Terminator
