Description

For the record I should note that I find the following things to be contemptible: Slavery, sex-slavery, forced prostitution, people trafficking, sexual exploitation, speculative investment capitalism, modern stock markets, the modern "Joint-Stock Corporation". That said, the beauty of science fiction is that you can always play the "What If?" game. In this case, what if we took the horrors of slavery, added the vocabulary of modern capitalism, and then added an undercurrent of liberation through self-exploitation (the same way some native tribes in North America have been able to make a living by opening casinos and playing off the white man's greed). In the context of the Star Trek universe, I also thought it would be humourous to think about the ways the Ferengi (a species who promote profits more than morals) would attempt to break through the cultural barrier in their interactions with humans. In this case, here's an attempt at creating an academic/financial journal that could be sold to both Humans and Ferengi alike (in their minds at least). In terms of the image itself there are a few things I'm not happy with (blurry eye brows, the colour scheme of the set), but all in all it came out alright. I'd like to thank HollywoodBest for letting me try out the "Anima Suit" outfit for this one, it's a fun little piece. Finally, I'd like to thank those who helped to put me up on the Art Chart this week, I definitely appreciate the support. [Comments Are Always Welcome]

Well the one I purchased had Coccidia and was filled with Ring Worm parasites. She infected the whole kennel. Ended up paying to have them all vaccinated. Profit margin in the toilet!!

I actually like her skin tones, and her vivid blue eyes make for one desirable beauty! Excellent work - hope to see more of the same! ;)

I love the idea of this, this whole sci-fi advertisement style, its freakin hilarious man. And check out the big brain on Revelation-23, he busted loose with all that treky knowledge, like a professer teaching a Star Trek history course lmao.

I know I should be offended by slavery but hey it's only sci fi and she looks hot! Sounds like they get treated better than most species who have their freedom.

In an infinite virtual world all things are permitted limited only by imagination ... even unbridled vulture capitalism. This gives me much to ponder for my next virtual investment. Unfortunately, unbridled vulture capitalism has found inroads in the real world doing untold damage to people, other animals, and the planet. Thanks you for posting this. Well done!

I have to admit the blue eyes and the blue/black hair go really well with her skin tones. No way I'm allowing a sex slave in my house! Unless of course it does house work and cooks ... giggles
