Description

A character portrait from my Amazon CE4693 series. Portrait of a Rocket Jockey This is Captain Infinity Roaouh's graduation picture from the Sol Alliance Aeronautical Academy. There's a tradition at this prestigious Martian school that dates back before the Great Filter Event. All graduates get their picture taken in front of the vessel of their particular specialty and they all recite an ancient proverb just as the picture is snapped. No one knows where the phrase, "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast" originally came from, nor are they even sure about the language it's uttered in. Every academic who's done more than 10 minutes of research agrees it was probably the war cry uttered by some amazing ancient warrior just before stepping into battle. ======================= I'm prepping a couple of scenes for this series that require large crowds-- something I've never done-- and it's taking quite a while to prepare all the characters and their poses and clothing. This is a test shot of one of them that was just too much fun not to post. Have a good weekend, everyone and thanks for having a look!
