Chakat Darkepaw in hir bedroom aboard a starship - looking thoughtfully out at the vastness of space...

This was the first commission that I used an airbrush for some of the effects. (the spacescape outside the window, and also the glow of the lightband that goes around the ceiling).

I also had fun designing a simple but futuristic room, which includes a computer system built into the wall - with a cardkey activation for basic controls, and a keyboard that folds out from the wall (the rectangle you see below the monitor). The 2 plushies on the taur bed are a lion and a white chakat and they represent 2 of Darkepaw's mates. Its also good to see they still have books in the future.

Chakat Darkepaw is copyright hir player.

Done in acrylics and airbrush on 9"x12" illustration board.

I don't see the utility of such a large window on a starship. It could be easily punctured by micro-meteors, and would do nothing to stop cosmic radiation.

When you can't even rely on yourself, the only thing you can do is to rely on your family, and friends.

If the day comes that your the only one left, and there is no one else around, then set out and find what your missing -- someone who cares.

i have stumbled across this by accident. and im glad i did.

the isolation this character is feeling is illustrated well. the paw touch on glass is a beautiful indication of a search for something real. the distractions in and around character are just. the half crossed arm is a good indication of characters unease of their suroundings.

the mediam you have used is a nice touch... gives it a real organic feel. the haisy look really gives it that... 'it could be a dream' erm thing...

if i had any authority.. i'd give this a 9/10..

thank you for inspiring me today.

This one reminds me of how I find myself at times.
Far away from home, away from friends and family. Basically alone. Surrounded by distractions and entertainment, I wander off to where there's a view and get that '100 yard stare'.
Good job capturing that in Darkepaw's expression and hir body language.
I just hope I never get the dreaded '1000 yard stare'. That one tends to be a bad sign.
