I enjoyed the travelers drawing I did in 2017 so much that in 2018 I decided to do the same thing but with a science fiction vibe: A character a day on the same sheet, for the entire month. This time I knew it would take up two sheets so I planned accordingly.
1: Poison
The first intergalactic traveler on my page is Ronald the Exterminator. His self-made poison recipe can take care of any infestation you might be dealing with: little bugs, big bugs, and even those raccoon sized roaches on New Earth over in the Andromeda System, it'll take care of those too.
2: tranquil
The Zelphs from Sagittarius 4 have extremely sensitive sensory inputs. You'll often see them tranquilly floating by in their Sensory deprivation pods in a state of deep meditation.
3: roasted
For the last 5 solar cycles, Neilblom has been selling roasted Kamp larva to earn money for a sublight freighter ticket back to his home world.
4: spell
Xandrow the Space Wizard collects "spell tablets." These ancent motherboards controlled the Star Rings millenia ago, and now are said to still cast spells on those who understand their coding language.
5: chicken
Buck Nugget: Space Chicken from the planet Gallus!Commissioned by the citizens of his planet to find new worlds suitable for the expansion of the Gallus Chicken Empire.
6: drooling
Plutonians are known for their excessive drooling, which isn't a problem, until they have to suit up for space travel.
7: exhausted
Beth was exhausted from traveling for three Earth days straight. She and her Plutonian partner, Ankron, missed their connecting shuttle transport on Alpha Centauri due to maintenance problems with their star craft on Saturn. Which means they'll arrive on Sirius 4 a day late!
8: star
Xeemo didn’t have time for breakfast this morning. Lucky for him a pod of tasty star-cukes floated just as he was starting to get hangry.
9: precious
Little Bot had thought he’d lost his best friend, Sparrow forever. After traveling through snow, desert, war, and space he was reunited with Sparrow. Their friendship, his most precious possession.
10: flowing
The Myopsidians from Aquarius 7 are a patriotic bunch, extremely devoted to their homeworld with a sense of alliance other Aquarians. You will never see one in public without it’s world flag flowing in the breeze above it. But be careful, often times they carry a proton-blast-scepter to defend their flag and zap anyone who talks trash about their homeworld.
11: cruel
Brog Zerzo, a bounty hunter known accross the galaxy for his ruthless and cruel techniques for nabbing his target
12: whale
Mel was a 5th generation Space whaler. She inherited her rig from her mother but more importantly, she got valuable star charts that show the hidden migration paths of the elusive space whales.
13: guarded
As an agent of the GSA (Galactic Security Agency) Missile Mouse is on assignment to monitor Terminal 7 of the Jump Port. He’s a bit guarded by some of these inter-galactic travelers and watching them closely for suspicious activity.
14: clock
Thora Horizon checked her holo-clock, worried she’d already missed her boarding window for the last transport to Pyxis.
15: weak
Groro Moooth, known charlatan and interplanetary scam artist, has cleverly escaped every attempt by bounty hunters to nab him....until now. Brog’s hunt wore him down, made him weak, and snagged him in a coffee shop on Euclidus.
16: angular
The angular designs of the high performance bi-pedal exo-suits made by the prestigious mech manufacturer Venratón on Mars are higly sought after status symbols among wealthy elites of the galaxy.
17: swollen
The unstable and swollen Shargnob IX has two vices: American fast food from a planet called Earth, and high performance sports mechs. Which means he’s probably not going to be around long enough to spend all his money.
18: bottle
Skull Chaser’s mission wasn’t an entire failure. He would be able to deliver, at the very least, one of the eyeballs. And for that he’d break even on this job.
19: scorched
Fire Tiger Robot, the leader of the Tiger Robots, is demonstrating his awesome power. Onlookers should beware, standing too close could leave parts of you scorched.
20: breakable
Gee Beene is being extra careful to protect his unhatched egg from breaking before he makes it home to the planet Echidnas.
21: drain
Careful around these guys. Their squishy, gelatinous bodies float through space, tendrils reaching out, searching for life they can attach themselves to and drain of all energy.
