This is a repainted and re-sculpted Fugitive Predator turned into a more futuristic version of himself or a descendant far into the future of the 2018 movie. He exists in a time during the period of the Colonial Marines and Aliens.

I took parts from Wolf, Jungle Hunter, Scavenger Predators. I used a soldiering iron to add battle damage to his mask and armor. Damage was later painted to look like actual damage with Basic [TM] acrylic paint.

Here is his character biography...

Name: "The Acolyte"
Rank: Un-Blooded
Species: Yautja
Gender: Male

One of the first wave Young Bloods to hunt on LV-742, "The Acolyte" is one of the newest members to join the "New" Lost Tribe. He is yet to prove himself and must embark on his first hunt and achieve his status as a warrior. He is known to utilize technology and cunning in his hunts. Credited with having hacked a super predator falcon reconnaissance drone. He uses the small drone to track prey and has upgraded it with stealth cloaking technology and enhanced vocal mimicry. It's weapons capabilities are known only to Acolyte. He is also know to use shurikens, duel wrist blades, and a rotary plasmacaster.

Yes the battle damage on his mask is custom. The damage on his chest plate and left shoulder piece is not. I also added some minor damage on the back of his chest plate to match up to the front side.

I like the concept, and it's clear you put work into this. That said, if he's from the far future, you could take his armor further, really make it look futuristic. Play around with the design, as it is, he's really just the Fugitive with a few extra accessories.

This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, and if you take it further I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thank you for the feedback! I had originally tried putting other armor on him, such as Borg and wolf armor but it did not look right. The sculpting underneath the chest armor is not painted like the rest of his body and suffers greatly from lack of sculpting. I don't think it was meant to be revealed, so as such I chose to add more to him rather than change a great deal. Seeing as how he is an ancestor my biggest thing was to upgrade his Equipment (drone and more technologically advanced plasmacaster). The battle damage to his armor was not stock grade. I added the vast majority of what you see with a soldiering iron and paint application. I already thought the Armor Fugitive had looked futuristic compared to other predators, which is why I opted to keep it.

In my mind, I see this as being an ancestor who donned an extra suit of the same armor. I plan to give him a different looking unmasked head. I think that will help with variance.

Okay, the retro suit makes more sense . Your original post said he was from the far future, which didn't jive with the modern day armor. Add that last bit of info, and there will be no confusion.
Is the custom battle damage on his mask?
