Since I've decided to do the series with an entirely human crew I've had to rethink the characters, these are some drawings from yesterday and today of 2 of the characters, the human woman was originally supposed to be the holographic form of the on-board A.I. but I decided the AI shouldn't look so completely human, if for nothing else than some diversity in the crew!
So the original AI character is now going to be a human crew member... Who for now doesn't have a name or role:
Oops I forgot to take the "SAI" off her suit, and also to give her shoes... Kind of a giveaway of what the onboard AI's name is going to be... Meet SAI:
SAI stands for 'Sythesized Advanced Intelligence' and this is the holographic form she takes on-board the ship. Being a hologram she is unable to interact directly with physical objects, this visible form's purpose is to create a more personal interface for the crew with the ship.
The software used to create SAI is as revolutionary as the ship itself, able to understand and emulate emotion when necessary, SAI takes and responds to orders and also relays information when requested.
I'm currently working on full bios for the 2 characters.
I'm also slightly worried that I may have gone too realistic with the proportions, which I had originally planned to be more cartoony... I'll have a think about if the series will work in this style, if not it's back to the drawing board!
