A city would be a nice addition!
Looks like my Rampart will be in the scene, also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfjB-ekFWHk shows how I will be painting it. Finally had some time to figure out a workflow for that model, since I can't do procedural textures on it like my other models use.

OK, starting up an image - looks like mine will be the only traditionally done line and color ^.^
I'm looking at a girl doing parkour in a Traveller cityscape. But...she's doing parkour with a gravpack!
WIPs in a few days!

quick sketch studies of the traceuse from the Calender submission Im working up. The first two are a bit rough and maybe cartoonish...the last is the more realistic style I will likely go with
Fun over fashion.
If you want my opinion, I would way go with the woman in the first two pictures. She looks like she is having a blast! She digs it. Hell, she might even grok it.
Because defying gravity is cool.
(But never forget, taunting Physics can be extremely dangerous. :devil
Laterness,
Craig.

one of two layups for the Calender...this one is a ships engineer doing repairs in a cargo bay while in Zero G.

I do likesis this piece, quite a lot. The upside-down composition is inspired and perfect for delivering that lil' bit of zero-G vertigo.

thanks! The idea was to do a bit that indelibly reflects spaceflight without overemphasizing the machine elements. And to be honest, the weightlessness and perspective made it interesting technically as well. I'm developing this a bit more.

Beautiful work on the engineer. Now I have the song "Lola, the Engineer" running threw my head.
Though I think she's a bit too clean. I'd have some grease on her hands, a smudge on her face, and one of the legs of her pants floating "up" a few inches.
Thanks for showing us the pic.

well, she wouldn't necessarily be all " grungified" as Sushi would put it, depending on the TL - star trek engineers seldom got dirty for all their crawling around in jefferies tubes because they weren't doing anything that actually got them dirty - changing out optical relays and modules doesn't get one too mucky. Of course, all that changes when you're working on mechanicals, where lubes, tailings, and grease occurs. That's why Kaylee on Firefly always had a charming smudge or two!( I never reckoned the Serenity at better than Tech 11 at best and it was always stated she had " been down the road a bit")
But that's not to say I wasn't thinking along the same lines - what you see here is a rough pencil, and is far from completion. There's much still to be done!

this is a common misconception -crew on the space station don't typically use tethers " indoors" for the same reason Sushi doesn't - they soon entangle the user. On an EVA, of course, its a different matter, and tools are always dummy corded to the astronaut, but when inside the " fod hazard" is less a matter of hazard and more an annoyance - its been commented by astronauts its actually rather handy to keep tools at hand this way.
unlike tools used in a vacuum environment, tools inside the station ( and I imagine spacecraft) are simply standard off the shelf but high quality tools.After all, its still just an earth environment.
This wasn't speculation on my part but was informed by the expedient of simply asking an astronaut.
