Description

The first thing that came to mind when I heard Cosmic Corsair was that this character was more than a mere space pirate. This guy needed to have a little panache and be very good at his job but still be flawed. When I first start creating an original character I like to think about the silhouette and how I can creatively combine time-periods to enhance the design and influence the shapes. I also like to think about what kind of a pose I want to put the character in to help accentuate their personality in the final illustration. I think that my greatest strength when designing characters is making a clear, simple design that's easy to read rather than something that is complex and a mash of random details.

This is Captain Julius Snow, one of the most reckless yet successful cosmic corsairs to ever sail the seven galaxies. He is from a distant planet in the Panthera System and comes from a long line of snow leopard pirates. In fact, that is his family's stock and trade.

His lucky cap was passed down through the generations and is said to have been worn by the original Captain Snow. The leopard skull medallion on the front of the hat was the original family crest before being changed to a leopard skull in front of a blue shield with an orange cross. It was decided that the crest should include the family colors and every Snow knows you defend the family colors to death so the skull was kept and placed in front. Captain Julius wears that crest on his belt buckle, on a medallion pinned to his jacket and on a patch on his leather pouch.

Captain Snow’s trusty weapon is a custom made short saber that was crafted for him when he came of age and joined the family business. Somehow it has never failed him and has always been by his side. Some people think that it is silly to keep such an old school weapon in an age where your arm can be a hand cannon, but in Captain Snow’s experience, new technology can fail you often. Despite that, he wasn’t against getting a new powerful cybernetic arm when it was shot off by a member of the Queen’s royal space fleet. And he was ecstatic when he got his new leg after it had been bitten off by a galactic shark bounty hunter.

After leaving the gaseous planet Nemo 7, Captain Snow discovers an unwelcome stowaway aboard his ship and he is looking forward to giving this creature the boot.
