The Colonist

Description

I just had an itch to do a figurative SF piece… a human colonist on a remote world, trying to scratch out an existence on a marginally habitable planet. Something akin to the colonists of Allen Steele’s “Coyote” series, those of Niven/Pournelle/Barnes’ Avalon from “Legacy of Herot”, and prospector “Pappy” Jack Holloway from Piper’s Fuzzy novels. And before you give me beef about how we wouldn’t spend precious resources sending our animals along with us… well, we would. That’s all I gotta say on that.

The major components are from the following talents: Background image by Didi_mc, outfit bits by ElorOnceDark, Luthbel, 3DUniverse, Uzilite, vehicles by DZFire and VBaretto, crates by Stonemason, figures by DAZ Studio, character texture by Phoenix1966, alien plants by Traveler, et al. There’s a lot of talent behind the components and I stand on the shoulders of giants. Rendering was done in DAZ Studio 3, using Mood Master. Composite and postwork in Photoshop.

Dedicated to all those who keep the spirit of exploration alive…. And to my buddy Allen.

Love the Fuzzy series!  Got everyone of them!  And, yes, having animals along would be, and could be, expensive in transporting, except as embryos to be planted in specific mothers.
