Ship upgrades

For , for the 10 sketches challenge (see my journal). Again, this became more than just a simple sketch, but for more than one reason.

I've known Gwennie for many years now, and we met on a Danish page for drawings and art (www.tegnebordet.dk). She's a very, VERY talented girl, and I've been privileged to know her.

Also, I've been LONG overdue with some fanart of one of her lovely characters. I wanted to do STD and STA from her wonderful webcomic ([link]), but then I stumbled upon Nela, her peptine.[link]

The Peptine race is a race of aliens, invented by the unreasonably talented , who I also know from the same site.

I've never drawn the race before. But I was bound to make myself a Peptine eventually. Mine became an old battle veteran, because I think the current population of Peptines lacks one.

Nela is a mechanic. I know this is probably a little out of character, but it just struck me as a funny exchange of words.

Nela's hair is dyed that colour, I believe Gwennie explained, just before any body asks if it isn't an odd combination with a natural skin colour like blue (Like Michael did when he saw the drawing).


Oh, and Kudos to everbody who recognize the name of Vanja's ship!
