Grand Space Opera - Character Design
Hey everyone, this is my entry for the Grand Space Opera: Light Age Challenge, it was quite the experience but i learned a lot with this challenge, i'm really happy how the characters turned out, also i'm pretty glad that i decided to take part in this challenge.
Here's some context for the world that i had in mind: In this place of space there is a hub/pit stop, that is open to every race from every corner of space, there is the staff that takes care of the place, the travelers, and also the dangers that surround this place.
