Freighter

I have a thing for space freighters. I don't know why, but when it comes to science fiction, I'll be the first to admit that I love a good space opera, I'm a huge fan of Star Trek (socially inept nerd) and have a thing for hard sci-fi, hence my love of what I guess can be referred to as "blue-collar space" work. The idea of a hard day's work in space is romantic to me. Colonists moving to settle new fertile worlds, cargo shipping, bureaucracy. The last one is a long story. Making real life, Rockwellian life almost, into a visual in space or foreign worlds has always been extremely interesting to me. When I draw spaceships, sometimes I will indeed draw cruisers, fighters and other such tools of war, but the vast percentage of what I draw is freighters, cargo ships, privately owned vessels, the stuff you never see behind the scene at the spacedock when the Enterprise is in for a refit. That's where the glory and the daily stories lie for me. So, I felt like doing a freighter here, and maybe continue it onto a theme of "work in space".
