One of my biggest and best commissions yet. Torchship: Forbidden Space cover art, commissioned by Gorn. This cover art is for an audio drama podcast taking place in the same universe as the Torchship TTRPG, following the crew of the Mary Gilham-32. I'll let Gorn explain:

The year is 2169. The place? The Aquilian De-militarized Zone. All that stands between Humanity and a Second Aquilian War. A buffer zone encompassing countless stars and civilisations, cut off from the greater galaxy by a crumbling treaty. It falls to the four Cosmonauts of stealth-rocket Mary Gillham-32 to explore this Forbidden Space. To find new friends, to supply aid to those who need it, to discover the wonders of the universe. And all without starting a shooting war with the Divine Aquilian Empire. Introducing: Torchship: Forbidden Space. A scripted, fully casted audio drama. The pilot episode, 'The Quality of Mercy', will release later this month on spotify, itunes, youtube, and any podcast host you can think of. Thumbnail art by the excellent Luna Rose

I had a lot of fun with this. Gorn was great to work with, and I got feedback from the voice actors for their character designs. Although I was given a framework, a lot of the character design was my own work and I'm quite happy with the result.

The characters are cosmonauts in the Interstellar Union of Republics' Star Patrol. They are flight engineer Holmes, an old Aquilian War veteran and cyborg, astrogator and psychic Martin (who is not from Mars), Yureli, the Martian hacker signals specialist, and Stevens, the welsh doctor. And don't forget the Mary Gilham-32, the faster than light stealth rocket ship.

Bit of an old pic by now, but still like it. Teikkiet is pretty much my comfort OC and I doodle her often when I need to cheer up. She likes hugs~
