I think it's high time I started talking about a project here. Only took several years of gathering courage, but hey - better late than nver, right?

Introducing the messenger ship Hope Springs Eternal, a prototype fast cargo ship that has gone through experimentation, decommissioning, a graveyard orbit, recommissioning by pirates, and now serves as a messenger ship spreading the words of hope and rebellion across the stars.

The ship and its story come from a story/worldbuilding project I have worked on for... a long time. The tentative name is Final Retreat, a story of a tiny stretch of space going through tumultuous changes and shrinking freedoms, and a conflict between those seeking to either preserve or destroy old ways of life. More on that in future posts.

Art is by the wonderful  T K, who took my prototype design and elevated it to an entirely new level - thank you for working with me on this! Their upload can be found HERE
