This image here is the result of my research into futuristic characters, many trends appear when looking into futuristic characters: many characters have clean lines and look very slick, stylish and modern. I feel this has been done to represent the "ideal future" where humans and technology work hand in hand and rely on each other to fulfil tasks. In comparison another common trend is that other characters have heavy body armour and war machinery, I feel this shows a future with heavy conflict maybe with extra terrestrial beings in addition, it may show how technology has taken over and humans rely on it to carry out basic tasks.
As explained before there were two main trends with futuristic characters much like there are two main environments: utopian and dystopian. A utopian environment is on where every thing is perfect or is based on the "ideal future" in comparison to dystopian which would be an unpleasant environment that contains or shows the effects of conflict.
In my research I found that the majority of my images were dystopian showing that the general image of the future contains conflict.
