Copic grayscale Markers, updated with Photoshop colors.

Ben Richards was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987 motion picture. In the book, Ben Richards is actually you’re average joe. Which makes a story a bit more appealing when an ordinary guy is having to face extraordinary challenges.

He was in his late twenties and had a family in the book, but a bit older wouldn’t hurt, aging him more giving him more to lose. The run is the run for his life, so its nothing else than relentless, exhausting and down right dirt. He should look as such.

Stephen King’s The Running Man is ripe for a new interpretation, with games like “Manhunt”, and movies like “Gamer” still popping up skewing our view of future-sport, the concept is always fun to think about. I’m making my own interpretations of the story to build my visual scope of where I’d take the story into a new format, be it movie, comic, or game.

Seen here: One of my first sketches done of one the Hunters, the military team sent out to find the protagonist Ben Richards. In the 1987 Schwarzenegger flick, they were pro-wrestler themed gladiators, mine’ll take a bit more practical (but still theatrical) approach
