Description
Another Traveller: 2300 illustration from back in the late eighties. This has always been a personal fave, though I'm not sure why. I guess I just find "women doing science" to be sexy
Pen and ink.

I think this is from World Builder's Handbook. In that case, an alternative title could be SCOUTING.

I liked it so much I borrow it as an placeholder in one of my little scribblings, I hope you don't mind ...

Sorry, grew up in a mining town. "Explosives solve everything" wasn't just for the military folks there.

Do you know what this could mean to science? It could mean real advancements in the field of science!
The only other thing I can say is, "Rowwr."

Yeah, Traveller was my old personal passion AND paycheck.

Well, one must count himself lucky if a passion provides paychecks, too.

Well.... I use the term "paycheck" in its most bare bones form. It provided enough to buy a few rocks, that I could then trade for a fistful of prime mulch, that I could then trade for a few bean seeds to plant....

It's refreshing to see normal looking woman in a sci-fi setting!

Thanks. Yeah, a planet being explored by a bimbo in a bikini just wouldn't be right....
...unless you're TRYING to emulate Barbarella

Very true!
I've got an old copy of that game sitting on my shelf.
So far I just sort of browsed but it sounds cool!

Clean was my usual style. And you're probably viewing it at a size considerably larger than it was intended to be seen. I generally worked at 200% size so that when it went to print it'd REALLY tighten up.

Its great to see these pieces from GDW here. I was totally unaware that you were one of their artists. Did you do pieces for Twilight 2000 too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. Don't think I ever did a single Twilight 2K illo. Almost, once, but never happened.

That small fragment of rock she's examining...could it be...atmospherium? Prophetic.

Well Blamire WAS at Boskones back then, so the ONLY obvious conclusion is that he stole my ideas.

In fact this was done for the "Kafer Poop Sourcebook", written by Wmwconnors!!!

I love all the equipment and cloths you designed for this. Everything looks like its coming from the same basic design aesthetic, but with some nice variation. And I love the sense of place you establish with only the sihouette of the mesas, and the graphic elements. Lonely, and mysterious but she's not bothered by it, totally engrossed in discovery. Yeah, strong, smart independent women -very attractive, and something you don't see nearly enough.

Well.... it was coming from the same design source - ME! With lots of pollution from folks like you, Gibson, and Deitrick

But it looks different enough to not scream everything was done by the same guy, or that it came in some "doing Science" travel kit!
