Dormant Ark - LEF Scientist - Female Concept

The game's protagonist starts out as a member of the LEF Science Division. Concerning the LEF team itself, I've developed designs for the uniform, taking inspiration from various sources such as the Alien movies, Promethius, Moon, Lost, and a few other bit's and pieces I've come across on the net. I want the team members to come across visually casual to allow the player to relate and connect with them, which is something the Alien movies do rather well. In saying that, the clean cut Scientist Archetype is still very much there, so that the player knows beyond a doubt that they are scientists. 

Allowing the player to feel at home within the environment, and being able to connect with the characters at the start of the game, will create a stark contrast with the horrors faced later on down the track. The protagonist will miss the familiarity cultivated in the beginning, and the terrors experienced will seem that much more terrifying. The familiar, nonthreatening world they started out in will be completely turned upside down. 

Here is a short Bio for the LEF Science division:

The LEF Science division ('L'unar 'E'xploration 'F'action) spend up to half a decade away from their homes and families, dedicating that time to their otherworldly passions. Committed to their work, the highly motivated team set out to explore undiscovered areas of the Moon's Lunar surface, mapping out new coordinates in search for possible life forms, and natural resources that might see the moon someday harbor a possible colony. 

I've got the female design down, aside from a few more variations I want to play around with. The male variations are next, as well as designs and bios for the individual members.
