Ships Passing in the Night

[A cross-post from Ecclectic Mass.]

I've decided to start (yet another) blog. This one is to post a story that I wrote some time back. It's called Ships Passing in the Night. Okay, it's not the best title, but the story itself isn't that bad. I think this is a good way to show off my writing. Besides, I've had so much fun re-designing Ecclectic Mass that I wanted to do it again.

Calypso

My first character portrait. It has taken me 4 1/2 hours to get this done.

I just noticed that I haven't put in a shadow for her, but it's late now. I'll have to deal with that later.

Edit: I've added the shadow.

Starship

I think it is a little too "Star Trekish" in look right now. But one of the main reasons I did this pic is to practice with digital art.

The idea is that the "free agents" will have a ship large enough to have a couple of scouts or fighters attached. This means a relatively large crew, but not an army by any stretch. I haven't decided on numbers yet.
