I drew Liefeld personas for (Steelkill) and (Cablestrike) and then threw them all together with my guy Shade Hunter as a group picture that we named Blood Force. This was a fun challenge full of 90s nostalgia!

Vigilantes 2019 by Gaston25

Spoiler

Way back in high school, me and a couple friends each designed a character for a comic book we wanted to create called the Vigilantes. A street level team that helped clean up their city, it was my first real page work and attempt at story telling. No clue where any of the original artwork is.

From left to right:
1. One Eyed Jack: A combat veteran who has decided to take what he knows best and turn it into a form of street justice. He reluctantly joins the team at the request of Razor.
2. Razor: A business man who gains the ability to cover his skin in metal, and the metal is sharp to the touch. Can cut through most things, and excellent hand to hand skills.
3. Alchemy: A scientist who discovers a method of changing solids to liquid form. She gains this ability and can transform solids to liquids but with a limited range.

Here is some original artwork of these guys in action!

Villains 2019 by Gaston25

Spoiler

After my friends and I created The Vigilantes we created a group of villains for them to fight, and I wanted to redesign them like I did the Vigilantes.

From left to right:

1. Exit: A blind swordsman who can teleport. He can "see" through telepathy and sees through the eyes of others on where to go.
2. Seismic: Able to control earth and dirt, and manipulate it to his will.
3. Massacre: The team leader. He was nearly killed when caught in the middle of a super powered fight. He used technology and robotic appendages to put himself back together.
4. Persuasion: An telepath who can control men only, and force them to come under her control temporarily.
5. Primal: A wolf/tiger like humanoid who has all the abilities of an animal and the mind of a human man.

Here is some original artwork of these guys in action!

Cosmic Corsair Entry by Ardoric-Art

Spoiler

Entry for #CosmicCorsairOCC
Well! I took this challenge as an opportunity to try once outside my comfort zone.
In obvious way i merged the concepts "space" and "pirates/corsairs", to make it easier for me to understand haha.

a bit of background:
...Using an energy saber, determination and arrogance, complete contracts as a mercenary or antihero. furrowing the vast sea of the universe, the effectiveness is motto.

Cap: Of good quality, although common, only uses it as a symbol of authority in the ship. they say it's lucky cap.
Weapon: at first sight, a gun would be more effective, but a technological saber surely conceals reasons why prefers this weapon.
Crest: Represents a scheme of a star map, where their race come from, used it as a brooch in the belt on torso.

Raela Novae #CosmicCorsairOCC by Galakushi

Spoiler

Well... I don't usually do that but here's my entry in the Cosmic Corsair Original Character Competition.

My OC's name is Raela, and here are some more details about her :

Raela Novae - Cosmic Corsair

Raela is the eldest daughter of the Novae family, one of the most powerful noble pirate family of the galaxy, known for their ability to harness the power of supernovas.
Almost all of the Novae's body is composed of space dust and energy, and they wear futuristic suit to keep it stable and under control.

Their hat, though reminiscent of the old pirate hats in appearance, is made of metal and designed to calm the energies within the Novae's body, allowing them to maintain a human appearance above the neck, which is also why they never take it off in public and few are those who have seen their true face.

Their family crest can be seen on their classic pirate hats, though most people know the true symbol of the family is the miniature supernova floating above their chest,
a striking detail that all members of the Novae family have in common, and is a frightful omen of death for anyone who crosses their path.

The Novae have an extremely short lifespan, they live only for a few years after reaching adulthood, so they make sure to live a life full of adventures and freedom in order to "go out with a bang".
As the eldest daughter of the family, Raela has been given the Dustbringer, a powerful artifact capable of creating a blade of light and stardust from its handle.
It is said that a single slice of the sword is comparable to the implosion of a star; though it needs an enormous amount of energy to recharge after each single use.

Raela knows the cycle of life and death is a fast one, especially for her family, that is why she makes sure every second counts.

CosmicCorsairOCC by Igor-Grechanyi

Spoiler

She is a romantic girl and a fan of Robin Hood. She fights injustice in the galaxy by piracy.
The skull, knife and axe are the ancient pirate crest of her family.

("Workers with a knife and an axe.
Romantics from the Big road.")

Cosmic Corsair: Agni by milkuriiem

Spoiler

"Lets burn this place to ashes!!"

Agni is a hot-headed and brash pirate originating from NGC7099. He excels at sharpshooting and wields dual pistols. He dons the family crest of the Capricornus (a flaming ram skull) on the back of his coat. The crest's motif can also be seen on his belt buckle and the hat he wears which resembles a ram's horn. He has cybernetic legs inspired by mountain goat legs which grants him exceptional balance and a heavy kick. His coat reflects his fiery personality and is very kinetic, the fringes dancing like flames.

Agni was orphaned at a young age as his home planet was caught in the middle of a war of the surrounding planets. Growing up on a inhabitable planet torn by war, Agni managed to make a meager living by repairing and repurposing scraps of tech left by the military of neighboring planets. It was then when he collected firearm and polished his sharpshooting skills. At the age of 22, Agni joined the Capricornus, a fleet of pirates captained by Pricus, a walking legend among their galaxy. Initially accepted for his engineering skills, Agni also gained a reputation for having impeccable aim and the ability to dual wield firearms. He upgrades his cybernetics and firearms whenever they come across suitable loot.

Captain Pricus is quite fond of Agni and his headstrong ways, often referring to him as "the biggest idiot in the galaxy".

Vala the Cosmic Corsair by StarSoulArt

Spoiler

This artwork is created for Original Character Challenge - Cosmic Corsair

"Treasure heist ain't rocket science." - Vala the Cosmic Corsair

Background

Once a race of intelligence, innovation, and exploration, Vala was one of the fortunate survivor to escape the losing war within her planet which fell under siege by her nemesis empire. As her spaceship drift away from her home planet with nothing but her great wit and laser gadgets, her only hope for surviving is to hijack the first spaceship she encountered, and hence begun her legacy of neverending treasure conquest and piracy.

A true space explorer at heart yet tainted with struggle, Vala is no doubt driven to seek the best of the best crews in search for the lost technology and treasures among the stars. Being an escaped individual seeking fortune, she was able to persuade prisoners of similar background during heists to join her cause. With her talents came more riches, and with more riches came more 'fame'. Some rumors had it that she gained such wealth and power so that one day she will return and free her home planet with a secret army. Others had it that a heart of a pioneer has taken the better of her as she devoted herself to wander from star to star in search for deadly adventures and priceless rewards. Whether it's the path of revenge or discovery, her space pirate instinct will tell.

Description

"The Pioneer" family crest is branded on the side of her jetpack. Her kind believes in seeking new creation and knowledge among the stars and it's their purpose or 'target' to achieve it. Vala improvise the crest by adding the pirate hat and replacing the planet with her enemy skull. Her dual Raygun or "The Velvet Eyes" are her trusty weapon of choice along side her jetpack which helps her maneuver through space with heavy fire. Her lucky cap is attached to her helmet so it won't fall off, no worries. Oh, and she's a heavy smoker!

The Red Comet - Original Character Challenge by Elairin

Spoiler

Just in time!

Here I'm really happy to show you my entry for the DeviantArt Original Character Challenge - Cosmic Corsair!
Let me introduce my badass girl, The Red Comet o/

-----------

Fire, explosion, and a sound of glass hitting the floor. Too late, she's already there, and you cannot escape from her. The Red Comet.

She's not interested in you, but in whatever treasures you may have, and be sure she'll find them. Tall and fit, she always looks beyond the horizon, but she's always watching you with her sub eyes. Don't even dare having a long stare at her glass legs, nobody know what happened, but she'll take yours as compensation for it.

A smile, the detonation of her fire musket, then the dark.

Fear the Red Comet!

-----------

(Sorry for my english ><)

And to answer the questions asked during the challenge:

[What comes to mind when you hear Cosmic Corsair?]
Obviously I think about piracy and stars (such an original mind).
It also reminds me of The Treasure Planet movie, and bright colors of the space :3

[What do you focus on first when creating an original character?]
I start by gathering all the things I love about the main theme, and then go explore some other universes/references.
Then I try to create the more stylish and readable silhouette, trying to balance areas with details and without.
I also try to think a lot about my character, its life, its universe, the world within it lives, its jobs etc. All the things building its universe (because I think it really affects the way we dress).
Then I search for the right color palette and balance to have a strong visual o/

[What do you feel is your greatest strength when designing characters?]
Hum... Tough one... I would say the dynamism. I always try to give dynamism and movement by playing with hair/clothes/fabrics/accessories etc.
Arf so hard x'D

We will follow you to the ends of the universe by R-Tan

Spoiler

Love pirates and love sci fi. I also love different genres that combine to create their own space, so this was a pleasure to work on. I liked mixing futuristic tech with an old school aesthetic. And those are plasma sabers, not to be confused with light sabers.(don't want the Disney lawyers to show up at my door.lol)

This piece was also a good excuse to try out a new workflow I have been working on to speed up the painting process, as well as some new techniques I've been experimenting with.


My idea was to have a crew made up different aliens collected from the different planets they have visited, with a captain they would follow anywhere.

Since the crew was made up of different aliens I wanted a crest that would be somewhat universal. I figured no matter what planet they are from, the sun and stars would probably be represented visually in a similar way. They would probably also be a universal means of navigation. So I placed a star within a sun shaped medallion. I also included an infinity symbol to the infinite universe, as well as the infinite possibilities, adventures, and freedom it contains.

The Nicking Knitter (and Killer Kitty) by queenofeagles

Spoiler

Who said space piracy is only for the young? Granny Nettie's corsair career started when she was already retired, after all. The cause? Mr Fluffykins.

Granny Nettie once noticed a lonely kitten searching for shelter under her porch. Or at least, she thought it was a poor, abandoned pet looking for help and a home. The kitten actually just wanted to nap in the shade. It had little say in that. Granny brought it inside, gave it a name and adopted it. Mr Fluffykins adopted her chair. It was far softer than the soil under the porch, and living here came with free food. He decided to stay.

Mr Fluffykins is no real cat, though. It's a nebuline, a catlike creature made of 30% stardust and 60% bad attitude. What that last 10% is, no one really knows, but it ends up in Mr Fluffykins' litter box at least once a day. Nebuline grow large enough to swallow galaxies, so after some time, Mr Fluffykins no longer fitted in Granny's chair. Nor her bed. Not even her house. Only when he started to cough up tiny black holes after thoroughly licking his fur, Granny Nettie realised something was a little off here.

Still, he was cute kitty. A little mischievous at times, but all cats are. So when the neighbours started to complain, Granny really didn't know what they were talking about.
"He chased our hovercar for hours! Only after having crossed four countries, we could get rid of him," they said.
"He used our solar panels as a scraping post," they claimed.
"He ate our doghouse. The dog was in it," they whined.
Really, that couldn't possibly be Mr Fluffykins. But then the police came to her door, ordering Granny to give up her pet.

She and Mr Fluffykins fled instead. Granny borrowed one of the neighbours' spaceships ("He sat on it and now the deck looks like a pool!") and promised to return it once she and her pet had found a new home. Only this borrowing was all rather fun. Besides, having her own ship meant she could visit her grandchildren more often. Too bad the look of the thing was downright terrible. Not enough doilies. She made a stop at the first inhabited planet and did some rigorous redesigning. The neighbours would love it - if they would ever see their vessel back.

A nebuline needs no vessel to travel through space, so Mr Fluffykins followed Granny everywhere. Mr Fluffykins also wreaked havoc everywhere. His favourite pastime is knocking parked hovercars, space crafts, and even medium-sized buildings off their air docks and foundations and watch them tumble to ground many kilometers below. It put Granny on top of various intergalactic terrorist lists.

"That's not very nice of you, Mr Fluffykins," she scolded the animal (for the first time in its life). "If you want to play, use a cat toy."

Obviously, cat toys are a little undersized, so Granny started her new "borrowing" project: gathering enough wool to make the biggest ball of yarn for Mr Fluffykins. She would return the wool once Mr Fluffykins was done playing with it, of course. Oh, and she would save a few skeins for herself; she had to knit a few scarfs and socks for the grandchildren. This gathering of wool gave Granny Nettie her nickname: the nicking knitter. Granny obviously disagrees and prefers "borrowing knitter", but she admits it doesn't ring as well.


Family crest: skein and crosspins because it honours her nickname. Besides, Granny thought a skull and crossbones looked a little aggressive. You can find the crest on her hat and on a flag attached to her vessel (next to the flowerpot).

Lucky cap: her plastic rain cap, of course. You really can't let all that piracy ruin your perm. But the grandchildren started to complain that Granny didn't look like a real pirate, so she added a (also plastic) tricorn hat to it. Speaking about perms: did you know those hair rollers are great for storage? You can put anything in them! Pair of glasses, lights, spare batteries, and even a small gun in case the trusty weapon is not so trusty...

Trusty weapon: stainless steel, 5.0 mm, single-pointed knitting needles. Don't underestimate them; they are wicked sharp. People have been skewered by Granny's knitting projects (mostly by accident as people leant in a little too close to see what she was working on).


***

This one is for the cosmic corsair contest! I don't know exactly how I ended up with a grandma character, but well, the world will never have enough crazy cat ladies, so why not. I think I just went through a bunch of stereotypes that would fit the role of pirate or space traveller the worst, then picked the one that made me laugh the most. Plus, this one comes with a giant sparkly cat. That's a win for me.

Also, I have no idea what happened to my drawing style. I had an idea for Granny's face, but realised quite soon it probably wasn't going to work for my default, more realistic style. Then lines happened. I don't do lines, but this is not the usual kind of lineart, though: I first coloured it, then added the lines. Roughly. I quite like how it turned out, especially for her face, hat, and 'hair rollers'. Make sure to zoom in on them!

Bip the Space Pirate by kinixuki

Spoiler

Super last minute submission for #CosmicCorsairOCC contest! I wish I could work on this more but it's 6 am in my timezone and I'm not even sure how am I still awake.

Ever since Bip was a freshly hatched chick, he kept watching the stars on the night sky and dreaming of becoming a space pirate, who snatches all the shiny there was. Other birds laughed at him, saying that small birds like them can't become pirates or go to space.

Bip didn't listen to them. He made himself a small paper hat, because there's no real pirate without a pirate hat. He buried his beak deep into science books, and later in all sorts of various machines, determined to build his own, that would be able to not just take him to space, but to make him strong enough to acquire the shiny.

Finally, Bip ascended to the sky in a space shuttle of him own making, riding a robotic suit. Safely perched on its head, protected by the strongest glass, and ready to fight whatever alien he encounters.

There was no stopping him. He became the hero of birds of his home planet, and he was feared by many. His collection of shinies led to many great tales, his crest with a claw ready to snatch the shiny became known across galaxies and if there was anyone still laughing at him being just a small bird, they didn’t live long enough to tell others.

Cosmic Corsair Contest Entry - Sherry by 0ktavian

Spoiler

Sherry was the youngest of her six siblings. They had been growing up on a mining colony under occupation of a totalitarian hegemony. Seeing her parents die of exhaustion way too early Sherry realized the only way out is by force. Sherry was the brain behind an escape plan that she and her siblings had put through. In order to survive the six of them began illegal activity which in long term lead to becoming well known space pirates, feared in most places, though welcomed in others due to their wide variety of goods for sale.

Her Trusty Hat is in fact a robot with mildly advanced AI, it helps her with aim, and alarms her when it spots danger. It can also translate quite a few languages.

Her Weapon of Choice are two old-fashioned guns she keeps in by her belt, always ready to attack. If needed the guns can switch from classic bullets to plasma.

Her Family Crest is Winged Arrowhead symbol of the family's fierceness.

The Dreaded Martian Corsair by dadarulz

Spoiler

Solomon “Scraps” Koperbloed was a martian native of south-african ancestry, born at the end of the Red Colonial Era, at the peak of Mars’ struggle for independence. A fourth generation miner, Scraps was privateered later in his forties with the goal to enforce martian airspace sovereignty and dissuade any nation from attempting to land and claim territory on the surface.


Officially, Scraps donned the martian admiralty’s flag as a demonstration of his lettre de marque, his legitimacy to engage foreign ships, but the Nut n’ Skull Crest of his crew overshadowed the Red Disc and Two Moons on most of his equipment. A warning to all enemies of the presence of the Dreaded Scraps.


To circumvent the prohibition on projectile weapons anywhere past Earth’s Troposhpere, Scraps employed a coilgun as his weapon of choice. On the surface, it served mainly as a mining tool, to pin anchors to the rock or send probes deep into the crust in search of minerals and ancient aquifers, but Scraps retrofitted his own with a larger, double chambered feed mechanism capable of accommodating any small piece of ferromagnetic scrap — nuts, bolts and bits of debris — granting the Corsair his nickname. In the interstellar void, Scraps’ coilgun could shoot the many bits of metal at vertiginous velocity. It easily pierced a shuttle’s fuselage compromising its crew’s atmosphere, shredded its engines and gutted its airlocks for a swift boarding by the Corsair’s crew.


As for the lucky cap, Scraps wasn’t known to have any. As he would probably put it himself, “nobody wears a hat in space, you blerrie fokken moron!”. In fact he was known to despise superstition altogether, since Scraps and any member of the mining workforce used to harsh environments knew that luck played no role in one’s survival. It depended on proper equipment, careful planning and triple-checking every single goddamn hermetic seal. If anything Scraps owned could be attributed to sentiment over practicality, it was his utility bag from his mining days that he filled to the brim with “ammunition” for the coilgun. It wasn’t particularly better than any other bag, but it reminded Scraps of his community, of his modest upbringing, of the martian blood that coursed through his veins.

I have no delusion of having any chance to win this, but the theme spoke to me and it had been a while since I drew a complete thing. It was fun.

Cosmic Corsair - The Leader by LordCarmi

Spoiler

The Original Character Challenge !

The Leader

"...No one of the Great King's vessels could be enter in the Roaring Lagoon, but all in all, they could be pirates...

But when you think about it, you can shout <<Hold the line !
They are bold here only for the gold and the cargo hold!
- Fight for your lives but leave the money to them!>>

No,

they are not here for your treasures...

They are corsairs !
... So the Great King can arrive at the Galaxy's End with his gold. so the corsairs can arrive here with the Great King's gold in their pockets. They are the King's shillings. the King expects they kill you.

Do you see the symbol on this black sidewall ? It's an eye in a cog...
Do you see them ? There aren't any individuals into these uniforms and under these helmets...
They are the Crest. It's not a crew, a faction, a nation or an empire. The Crest is an entire galaxy of thousands of billions of living beings cooped up in advanced space-suits. The Crest lives in its Space Ark and travels around the universe for knowledge and treasures on the Great King's payroll.

And that ?! Yes it's only a representation of the Crest, a void suit filled with these microscopical creatures. It's coming for you...We call it, for the sake of simplicity, the Leader. I'm pretty sure that many lost souls thought to have killed it. But every time the Ark has produced another identical Leader...
The same fancy hat, it can reach out to the other Crest's void-suits, it's like a lighthouse in the cold space.
The same sword, it is composed by the same Crest. When it is going to skewer your flesh the Crest is going to replace your cells with its...
...And you, my friend, will became one of us, a part of the Crest. "


What comes to mind when you hear Cosmic Corsair?
First of all it's not a pirate ! But it is an hired gun of someone !
What do you focus on first when creating an original character?
First of all I focus on its background history to fit its in a proper way

What do you feel is your greatest strength when designing characters?
The passion to draw in an own style and follow personal interpretation of the subject it's really important for an artist

Juliette came from the bourgeoisie and lived on a planet mostly colonized by wealthy classes from the Earth.
One day during a Corsair assault in her city she took refuge in a chest, unfortunately this chest was taken away during the looting while it was inside.
Juliette was 6 years old when she grew up next to the biggest thugs in the galaxy. She quickly adapted to this environment by her behavior completely and ended up becoming a liar and professional scammer.

She is part of the crew of the "Black Kuma" that takes their name from a small animal from a distant star that has the appearance of a small black bear, they are very temperamental and have the ability to detect precious metals and minerals. This is why each member of the crew has his little bear, some make life unbearable to their owner!

Stellar Dust Pirate by EilemaEssuac



Almathea the Cosmic Corsair by Coksii

Spoiler

(A character design I did for the Cosmic Corsair character design contest)

Captain Amalthea belongs to an artificially created species. Once there were many of her kind, all living in the laboratory they were created in. Despite their wishes their creators would not let them leave, as they feared their creations were too dangerous. One faithful night the experiments broke free and chaos ensued. Many of them died during the escape, but a few survived and hid on a small planet from the scientists. There they started their own tribe, trying to survive in secret.

Rumours had spread about the experiments escaping and even decades after the escape, their species faced hatred and fear by others. Amalthea didn't have an easy life growing up. Her mother died at birth and she was constantly living in fear of being attacked. On her 12th birthday she was out with her dad, when suddenly they were ambushed by one of the many hate groups that had formed specifically to hunt down their kind. Amalthea managed to get away, but she had lost both her left arm and her father in the fight. Fed up with living like this, she began to train and soon became and excellent sword fighter. At the age of 18 she set out into the universe, determined to take back what was hers and avenge her family. She is now feared across the galaxy, as one of the most ruthless corsairs out there.

Family Crest:
Amalthea's family crest resembles her kind. She no longer wants to live in the shadows. She wants to be proud of who she is and to strike fear into the hearts of the people who had hurt her family in the past. She had it stitched into her cap and her coat, as well as the flags of her ship.

Lucky Cap:
Her cap was gifted to Amalthea by her dad on the day he died. Ever since then she has cherished it, and would refuse to take it off. Even now she is rarely seen without her hat. It makes her feel close to her father and serves as a reminder to her mission: getting revenge and liberating her kind.

Trusty weapon:
When Amalthea lost her left arm, it was first replaced by a poorly made prothesis. As she set out into the world she met a mechanic and inventor, who after she rescued him from other pirates, built a cyborg arm for her. This arm serves both as a hand and as a weapon. The hand can shoot out like a grappling hook and makes it easy for Amalthea to grab enemies and pull them towards her. The claws are razor sharp and deadly, serving both as a way for Amalthea to hijack other ships, or finish off her foes.

Welp, there she is lol my alien shark bull monster girl (?)
even if I don't make it far in the contest, it's still a win for me because I actually really like this character and I will most likely keep it!!

#CosmicCorsair: Nihrenda by Avian-king

Spoiler

Nihrenda leaned back onto her long, clubbed tail for support as she reared up her legs to kick the advancing man in the head. Her mechanical prosthesis made a sickening clank as it collided with his skull, and he slumped to the ground like a doll. The captain turned to see more of the ship's crew members rush towards her, wielding various equipment. She took a flaming plasma shot into a woman's jaw, and used her tail to knock a man behind her off his feet. She turned and leaped off the side of the ship, and grabbed a stray cord on the way down. She swung down, her opalescent blue feathers glittered radiantly in the starlight. Lifting her gun, she took aim at the control deck of a passing co-ship. Nihrenda had been separated from the rest of her crew in the heat of battle, but she trusted that they would be triumphant. These ships had valuable cargo and she didn't want to rest until all of it was theirs. These human ships would fall, and she would make sure of that.

Nihrenda was born on Ghad, but her parents took her off-world when she was a budding subadult.
Ghad was a small desert planet pocketed with oasis and lagoons. Once rich in life and culture, it is now a hollow husk. Human-led mining and resource corporations went against strict Intergalactic Law to mine the planet of opal and other precious minerals.
Nihrenda watched villages burn, the ground twist and subside like a wave, and the sky turn crimson with desert ash and the smoke of the great machines. Nihrenda lost part of her right leg in an unfortunate encounter with a miner's tooth trap when she was a kit. Her parents saw to it that he lost the same or greater.
Many Languilians fought brutally against the miners. Kicking, headbutting and tail clubbing the invaders. Many Languilians left the planet once it became clear they wouldn't win the fight on their homeworld. Many families would become pirates and robin hoods, pillaging goods from those they saw as undeserving or under the employ of the very same corporations that took from them. Although frowned upon by the greater society, the Languilians are doing what they can to get by in the cosmos.

Crest(s):
Nihrenda bears her family crest upon her left breast in the form of a metal plate. The crest depicts a mature Languilian with a star betwixt its horns; a call-back to the species looking up to the stars and to the brilliant minerals found under their scaly feet. The crest also includes a ring of spikes around the neck of the Languilian, marking the species' combative nature when confronted, and the osteoderms protruding from the tarsometatarsus and tail.
Another crest sits upon her shoulder. this crest shows a fierce and toothy reptile. These are common to the planet Nihrenda hales from, and in this case, is used to represent her crew. The members of her crew bear a similar image in the form of tattoos, raised piercings, or patches.

Weapon(s):
Nihrenda uses 3 weapons to meet her means. The first is the one she was born with; a thagomizer embedded with osteoderms. These are used in the traditional ways of battle, in space where everyones got a gun or light sword, you better have more than a club. The tail also functions as a counter-balance when kicking.
Nihrenda carries a plasma pistol. A highly modified antique taken off of a miner. When out of plasma it can just as easily be used as a standard musket, hence why she carries a powder horn (other than starting explosions)
Finally, Nihrenda bears a mechanized prosthesis on her right leg. The knee and ankle are fitted with large spines to double the kicking damage. The leg is a mosaic of work done by a less than liscensed mechanic, her parents and herself. Nihrenda cared more for function rather than appearance of her new limb.

Lucky Cap:
Nihrenda's Cap is a gift from her father, Opals (her planet's collective symbol) are pinned to it. She is fairly certain that as long as she has her father's cap and crest she will survive in the inhospitable realms of space.

Her quest is to position herself as a major figure of power within the galaxy in hopes of giving a chance to the people who started from the bottom like herself. Her crew. Her family. Her people.

Captain Hal and his D'ohnuts Crews by YellowFugitive

Spoiler

What comes to mind when you hear Cosmic Corsair?
Fun-filled adventure in space. Battle against strange species, exotic babes, and outlandish loots.

What do you focus on first when creating an original character?
I started with the character background story, his personality, and quirks, and from there I could start imagining what would they wear, what weapon will suit he/she, what expression would they pull, and what poses they would strike or what kind scene they would be involved in.

What do you feel is your greatest strength when designing characters?
My confidence in character designing is the anatomy and expression of my characters. As for the rest, I'm still learning and developing my skills every day


Meet Halil, an engineering whiz kid from a backwater planet with a big dream to explore the space. His only ticket to realize his dream to explore the cosmos was by enlisting to a federation funded space aviation academy. Halil spends his youth studying and training under federation finest instructors, aiming one day he would captain a ship of his own and explore the unknown space.
Never one to play by the rule, his out of the box thinking baffled and amazed his academy peers and rivals. High achieving student with the promising career path he thought he was one step further of realizing his dream until he was framed for leaking highly classified military tech developed by the federation to the Karakans, the federation resistant group. In one night he was stripped off of his achievements and the junior posting promised to the academy finest graduate. He will also be brought up for a tribunal that could end with his flight license revoked for life. On the eve of his tribunal he made his choice, he would fly one way or another.
He breaks into the shipyard and stole the newest federation fleet still under test and development program. The very technology he was framed to have leaked.
Ever since Hal has been realizing his dream day in day out, exploring the cosmos and collecting cosmic loots left, right, and center with federation fleets hot on his tail. with his trusty crew and sidekick Halil off to prove to the universe that he could have his cake (or in Hal's case doughnut) and eat it.

Crest - Strawberry Glazed Doughnut
He endured the bitter taste of betrayal once, and Hal concluded that the only thing that would never betray you is food. So he elected his favorite food as his pirate crest. What's better than a doughnut? the sweet-tasting, mouthwatering earth finest delicacy fitting for the coolest cosmicfarer in history.

Lucky Cap - Buccaneer Hat
Derived from good ol' pirates cap, what special of Hal's hat is the feathers charm. It was from an extremely rare breed of bird that was said to be extinct. In one of his adventure Halil save the bird's egg from volcanoes and in return, it gave him its rare feather. it brings extra luck.

Trusty weapon - Modified plasma gun
with his personal concoctions at ready Hal could shot, green sticky substance to hinder his pursuer or poisonous substance to vanquished his enemies. the effect differs by the color combinations
