Concept art over a what if: Ethan, Zoe, and Mia end up joining the family and nobody finds/cares to check on what happened to the "missing" Bakers and Winters.
Lots of possibilities over how they fall under Eveline's control (like if Ethan just gives Eveline the benefit of the doubt and gets totally busted for it) but for now I'm just focusing on the "it already happened" part. Ethan is put in a similar position as those 20 missing persons except Ethan is kept for way longer because of Mia being Eveline's new mom. Ethan usually stays inside for the majority of his transition into the family but afterwards he patrols the yard. This goes back to the scrapped hunter idea in the re7 concept arts
it's suggested that the Bakers had used dog collars on the victims considering they bought 20, and so far, 20 missing persons had been documented
Marguerite and Jack are labeled grandparents, Zoe gets experimented on by Lucas through the help of The Connections thus getting mutated into a white mold variant, and Mia becomes like the Bakers and helps Ethan transition into the family. I haven't thought about what would happen to Joe Baker yet but he's on my mind. I feel like Eveline has a chance to get close to having a "normal" sibling dynamic when Ethan and Mia have rose because they're both mold. Eveline can't control her like she would the rest of the family due to Rose's own powers so they bicker without Rose being intimidated by Eveline. In a similar fashion to how Eveline has black mold in places she's been, I feel like Rose may leave white streaks on things she touches.
unserious p30 chris au doodles, and the duo that'd come of that. some thoughts about the au below the cut!
while jill's hair color changed because of the reaction her post-vaccine body had to the p30, i do think that it was still a considerable factor in how wesker stripped her of her identity; hair means a lot to a lot of people, so forcibly changing something so crucial to someone's appearance/identity definitely messes with their mind.
in the au, chris' hair is blond because i don't think it's too far of a reach to assume wesker would take it upon himself to strip chris of his identity the same way he did with jill.
there's also the fact of dyeing his hair being kind of an intimate act in a way? i see it the same way as shaving another person with a straight razor, or helping them tie something behind their back that they can't reach. there's a sort of trust and reliance that comes with acts like that, despite them not being very intense or heavy acts.
so i think that wesker making chris let him bleach his hair kind of follows that pattern; wesker's creating a situation where he makes himself seem selfless and caring by doing something for chris' "benefit," which leaves chris in a position of feeling like he needs to be grateful, both bc he's being looked out for and bc wesker must care for him if he's doing him this favor—even if he doesn't know why. it furthers his dependency on wesker, in a more subtle way.
anyway, i could go on, because i think there's a lot of nuance and stuff to this au, but i'll end it there for now :)
Realized I still hadn't posted all of the concept art from the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide. Whoops.
Looks like he had a gasmask and some sort of gun early on.
It's a little hard to see, but I think his mask has a little Umbrella logo on the side. Would you guys have preferred him with the mask? It looks kinda neat and I love masks but his emotionless stare feels more unnerving to me.
They seems to have dabbled in having a full face mask too. Also, look at the long black nails on his "normal" hand.
This one reminds me of Handsome Squidward.
Anyway, that's all for now. There are still more images of concept art in the guide but I'll be posting those another time.
