Commission for Zerorider56, featuring the newest addition to the Space Voyagers cast! This guy is quite a bit different from the ones I've done so far, and probably the most alien feeling one yet, but he was a really neat character to design, and this is my first time doing a character with four arms too. xp I also had to be a bit of a show designer for this one, and come up with something interesting for a character with two huge toes, lol.

Zerorider56 writes: "The helmsman of the Voyagers. Brash, rude, ill-mannered, yet nurturing, fond, and loyal. Gnork has seen the good, bad and ugly in life and doesn’t have the time nor the patience to put up with people’s rubbish. Often gives crude remarks and swears in his native tongue. He prefers the direct approach and will be blunt with his opinions. Despite his rough exterior and boorish personality, he does show genuine fondness for the crew members even if he prefers solitude to reflect. When it comes to family and kids, he's developed a more nurturing side due to his past experiences with his former partner and knows when to be patient when it concerns the young members of the Voyagers. (To the artist, he is middle-aged in our concept of aging. Although in the context of the story, his race have short lifespans so he'd be 32, which would translate roughly to 52 human years.)"

Here's two more character designs I just finished for Zerorider56's project, Space Voyagers! Left is Jack the... Jackal, and right is Lenny the Polar Bear! You can see more character designs I've done for Space Voyagers by clicking here.

Bio Written by Zerorider56: "Jack and Lenny are members of Captain Ratcliff's crew. They've been partners in crime for many years before joining the life of the pirates in the stars. And couldn't be more opposites from each other.

Jack is the schemer, the one who takes initiative and calls the shots between the two of them. He likes fighting dirty and taking any advantage he can. He also has a big temper, oftentimes butting heads with Lenny on how best to approach a situation, and even with his captain on how things should be run. Has a huge ego and loses his composure whenever anyone belittles him or talks back. A dishonorable pirate by every definition and has it out for himself.

Lenny is the muscle of the duo, yet his demeanour often betrays that title. He acts like the lackey and is willing to get rough. But can be very clumsy, meek when it comes to killing and confrontation, and tries to help Jack even if it isn't the smartest choice. Often has reservations to a lot of his partner's plans, he's a thug who was dragged into the wrong crowd. "

Here's another couple of characters I designed for Zerorider56's project, Space Voyagers! You can check out a number of other characters and art pieces I've done for them by clicking here.

These two are brothers, hence why they're part of the same reference sheet! This is the first time I've ever put two different characters in one reference sheet, but I felt it was appropriate. I wanted to show they were related at a glance, and I posed them so their personalities would contrast with each other. Vex, the guy on the left, is your typical space pirate, and the guy on the right, Rex, is a former assassin. :3

"Members of Captain Ratcliff's crew, Rex and Vex are a force to be reckoned with, yet they couldn't be any more different. Vex is a loud-mouth, crass pirate who lives the life of a party and continuously flirts with women with disastrous results. Very aloof, loves the thrill of the pirate's life, and will gladly cause havoc wherever he can.

Rex, on the other hand, is a former assassin who merely joined to keep an eye on his younger brother. Stoic, a serious individual who likes to focus on the task at hand. A deadly killer when given the opportunity, sometimes wishes he's able to snuff out more enemies. He is a mute who only speaks telepathically with his brother, an innate ability only his species can do."

Here's a new character design that I did for Zerorider56's project, Space Voyagers! This guy is the same species as a previous character I did for them, but has unfortunately had, uh... quite a few experiments performed on him to create a formidable beast. @_@

"A member of Captain Ratcliff’s crew. Subjected to illegal experimentation by a criminal organization, Brox went through a torturous transformation that altered his physical body and mind. Seen as a bestial monster, his rage drew him to destroy anything in his path. The pirate captain saw potential in him, tamed his wild and broken soul and took him in as one of his own. The life of pirates suited the bumbling brawn, and his incredible strength and prowess is used to further Ratcliff’s goals to claim treasure ripe for the taking. What he lacks in intelligence Brox makes up for with his everlasting loyalty to his captain, and his strength will help lead them to victory."

Here's another character I designed for Zerorider56's series, Space Voyagers! His name is Mr. Burroughs. You can view all the other characters I've drawn for them here: https://temiree.tumblr.com/tagged/zerorider56

Bio: Moya’s first mate aboard the Voyager. Age: 87 (53 human years, his species lives to about 160). An old soldier who serves under Moya. Strict, by the book, and a very serious individual. Does not tolerate foolhardiness among the voyage. Abides by his oath to keep the crew-members safe. Served with the captain ever since his rescue from a Lyrax prison camp and admires her greatly. Born as Cade Burroughs, he has a military background and at the age of 21, he enlisted as a soldier. He fought in the Lyrax War and became a hardened soldier because of it. He’s seen the worst of their species and developed a prejudice towards them for all the destruction that was wrought. Yet, has conflicted feelings towards Sky being a part of the crew. Although initially against her joining, he knows that she isn't the only Lyrax he's met that wanted nothing to do with the conflict. Due to his background and history as a soldier, he isn’t really one for small talk. His strict and no-nonsense attitude often clashes with his captain's more laid back personality. Despite this, he still remains loyal to her and will follow her into the abyss itself.

These three were riding a hoverbike, driven by Rook with zero training, and had to make a crash landing onto a pile of waste inside an unknown facility. Despite surviving, reactions are mixed to say the least. As for what happens next... I'll say you'll find out eventually. :3

You might remember these three from reference sheets I had done for Zerorider56 in the past! It was super cool for me to draw them in a scene together, like it was a big Avengers-style crossover picture of characters I had designed.

Reference sheet commission for Zerorider56, for yet another character in their cast! His name is Bolt. Zerorider56 writes: "Age 20. An anthropomorphic woodpecker who was captured by a dangerous criminal organization and brought to planet Ravku III, in which he was experimented on. The goal of this group was to create secret weapons that would turn the tide in the ever-lasting conflict with the Lyraxes. Unfortunately for them, Colin and his team infiltrated the base and released Bolt before they were finished. Bolt's memory of who he is was still intact, but his personality was altered. Manic, a wild card, and completely unpredictable, his random behavior and actions resemble that of a 'toon' archetype. Was given the abilities of teleportation. Quick to move, never making a lot of sense to his teammates, yet he can’t seem to stay away from them. They’re a constant reminder of his old life, and the ticket to helping him achieve his primary goal: revenge on those who experimented on him. You’d never know it at first glance, though. He'd just seem like your wacky, cartoon mascot to most."

Another character of theirs, Colin, was used to help show scale in the background. :meow: Also I'm always happy to draw birds! I've really been getting into them lately. :3 You can view all the various other character's I've drawn for them here: https://temiree.tumblr.com/tagged/zerorider56

Reference sheet commission for Zerorider56, featuring their new dragonborn D&D character, Kava Drachedonian! Zerorider56 writes, "Kava is a blue (lightning) Dragonborn. Age: 19. She is friendly, adventurous, and very loyal and protective to those close to her. As she grew up in the Norixis clan, she was expected to strive in perfection and excellence in her duties. After all, every Dragonborn owed their devotion and respect to the clan above all else and to do otherwise would bring dishonor to all, and can result in expulsion or exile. The clan does not rely on help from the outside world either, only keeping to themselves. Kava, being a bit of a free spirit and a rebel, wanted to explore the world rather than follow orders from the clan and after many instances of disobeying orders, was eventually exiled. While on her own, she would often help people as she traveled the world, acting as a vigilante/Robin Hood esque type of hero, stealing from criminals and helping those who need it. She's been a drifter for a few years now, yet is very kind and friendly to people. She even met her best friend along her journey and eventually the rest of her current party. But after discovering the Achukma, a secret thieves' guild who also attempts to save lives across the world, for the first time in her life she feels like she's found a place to call home."
