Xenomorph: Cai Gentle
[Click for full size version.]
Cai Gentle, Shuttle Pilot, RSV Shackleton
Female, star-born (corporation citizenship), mid twenties.
Company Brat, well-liked, but a bit… docile.
In an artificial world where even the sanitation workers have double PhDs, Cai Gentle is an anomaly. The twenty three year old woman is a corporation brat, born and raised in deep space on company research stations and colonies. She has little formal education, but possesses resources and reflexes honed by a lifetime in artificial space environments. She is one of the space-born. As a shuttle pilot and cargo handler/courier, Cai is one of the most well-known faces on Shackleton.
Cai Gentle is a player character in Xenomorph. Artwork created and rendered in DAZ Studio, with postwork in Adobe Photoshop.

Mission Call
In the dark hours after general curfew, station security control is bathed in shadow.
Quiet all decks. Shackleton’s tiny habitat of some fourteen hundred fragile souls lies sleeping. An entire steel-encased world surrenders to sleep. A few rest peacefully, others not. All dream. Perhaps even MOTHER dreams.
With a soft repeated beeping, the watch officer’s screen wakens to life. Down-scrolling letters reflect in the glass of a space helmet.
MOTHER calls, cryptic and insistent. Something is amiss.
MOTHER has something that needs doing.
On Shackleton a woman is sleeping. On Shackleton a woman awakes.
In the darkness, someone is weeping.

Ned Stark (WIP)
I don’t often attempt real-life portraits, but recently I’ve been reading George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, and re-watching the magnificent HBO adaptation in preparation for Series 2, which begins in early April. This is the result: Sean Bean as Ned Stark, King’s Hand and lord of Winterfell. Not so much a finished project as a 3D model awaiting a full render – DAZ Studio and Photoshop.
