He just got his own ship! Freedom to explore space, find our where he came from! He is so ready to share this with his best pal!

Yeah! I don't think this is the final final versian. But it's pretty close.

This is really cool! I was actually inspired by your story to work on the "origin story" of Zak and the Phantom.

Oh, cool! That will be a fun read! Origin stories are always fun!

It should be. It's written with lots of heavy Douglas Adams style.

Rover is so excited about this. I like Little Mister Interrogation there.XD And the way he's dressed. Can't see his face though. What's he holding?
Cool to see the Nellie-Belle too.

If he was a girl he'd be squealing and running in place. He can hardly contain himself he's so excited.
Heh, yeah. Had to draw that annoying little guy. He's holding a fruit of some kind.
That's not the official design yet. Still working one some of the details, but this is essentially the shape of it.

Good thing he's a boy.
Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot that was what he was holding...
What's the barrel-looking thing on the side? I notice them in the concepts too.
When you get the official version hammered out, it'd be fun to see it's internal structure too. Where all the rooms are compared to each other.

Probably.
I honestly haven't figured that out yet....
I really want to do a cutaway. She does have four decks, a cargo bay and a docking bay. She's probably about the size of one of those really big old Victorian houses........like the one in Pollyanna.

Hmm. Well... I'd imagine if a cowboy were carrying two barrels around in a wagon (which is what they look like to me, esp in the other concepts), they might be filled with drinking water or something. So maybe they house the life-support related stuff, like the stuff that generates the water, air, etc. Then again, maybe their storage things where Rover keeps supplies of some kind. Idk, just a thought.
(Don't think I've know Pollyanna) But yeah, that's pretty big!
I forgot I was gonna ask about Rover's arm too. It sounds like he pretty much found it lying around (instead of having it custom made or something, like I previously assumed). Any more details on that?
I was also wondering what the * in K*laxian stands for?

So that's Rover's ship? It's bigger than I thought! Cool!

It is for now. I may tweak it before it gets a completely official design. But this is the basic shape of it.
It's pretty big, as it is a cargo ship. Stack a Safeway on itself and that should be about right.

This is so cute! 
Flyspur seems to be thinking: This is stupid, but I'll do it for you, Rover...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Yeah, he definitely has a puppy quality to him, which is probably why Fly sour never expected him to be so ornery.
Ha ha! That's EXACTLY what he's thinking. He really doesn't get this custom but rover is just so excited he can't say no.

Well, Flyspur learned his lesson pretty quickly.
The things that he puts up with... 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He certainly did. Never judge an Offworlder by it's cuteness.
IKR? Yep. Those are the two reasons. Rover is annoyingly persistent and isn't going to give up easily. And, while Flyspur thinks it's a pretty silly thing to do there is no logical reason for him NOT to do it either, especially when Rover will be happy about it.

So true. In sci-fi, it's often the cutest, most cuddly-loking aliens that have a tendancy to rip people's heads off or chew their hands... XD Luckily for Flyspur, this time it was only a mischevious, annoying little alien that likes to ask embarrasing personal questions.
