I'll need the ability to create different characters and make them look like what I have in my mind. Basically badly dressed aggressive Mad Max type characters with Guns (men and women), if that makes any sense. :)

I know this is a Poser forum,  but you will be better served getting the current version of Daz Studio 3 which is a free download at cnet.  And as mentioned all the Daz Base models are now free at  DAZ3D.  The tool functionality of Daz Studio is far more user friendly and you'll be generating concept art in a shorter time frame.
