Late last year Karl from Crooked Dice asked me to draw concepts for a pair of Colony 87 Bounty Hunters that were reminiscent of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don_Quixote <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above are my initial sketchbook pages; the Don Quixote character would be an aging but still tough bounty hunter and the Sancho Panza equivalent would belong to the Colony 87 squat humanoid race. (Though there’s an Insectoid Alien option here which Karl felt was a bit too monstrous!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This page is where I refine the Don Quixote look, though I wasn’t quite sure about Sancho Panza and wanted to define the alien\/human variant race more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pages show me inventing the high-grav worlder bounty hunter and his gear. The ‘Wheel Ships’ I imagined they travel in are built around a super-dense fragment of one of their worlds. I’m adding various high-tech elements to his gear and seeing what works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
