Proteus Evolution - Meet the family

Proteus Evolution, the 8th book in the Proteus Series has finally hit the shelves and before I introduce the book itself, I thought I would introduce you to the newborn Proteus ships as well as a few other ships that feature in the book, specifically Aurora's family...

Enjoy!

Norcee is a third generation Titan class ship, although smaller than Miras she is quite frankly massive. She believes she is the groups leader but struggles with her siblings.

Hataka is unlike anything ever imagined by our friends. She is technically a Proteus Warship, heavily armoured and heavily armed. Looks can be rather deciving though as beyond her explosvie and aggressive nature she reads romance novels and is rather girly.

Cenya is not quite what she appears to be, a mini Titan of sorts she is no larger than Terrik or Lunar. She is lazy and can be explosive if you mention she is fat, but get to know her, she is hiding a secret from her sisters. She is seriously smart.

Qidgee is frankly a pain in the ass. She is hyperactive, annoying and plays far too many practical jokes. She is also the smallest and the fastest of the Proteus Fleet. She also tends to get herself in to a lot of trouble.

Corona is an Avoran Repair ship, and one that is highly unique and unusual. The Matriach of the Avoran ships, she cares for Aurora's sister ships Nova, Lumious and Pulsar, as well as the little experimental ship Eclipse. She is very old, fierce when she wants to be but has a good heart.

Eclipse is by my own admission, the Tiny Tim of the Avoran ships. An experimental prototype built shortly before the end of the Avoran civilisation, the technology she carried failed. Abandoned and left in Corona's care, she is very sick and needs a great deal of care.

That's it... fancy meeting them all? Grab a copy of Proteus Evolution.

Proteus Art - The Arr

Me...? World building and all that?

This is the Arr, the Dendritian flagship featured in Proteus Of Darkness and Light. It is heavily damaged during the battle of Apeyra and is returned to Beletrix for repairs.
By far Dendritian technology is nowhere near as advanced as the Alphians or Apeyrons and this is a warp drive capable ship as opposed to the subspace drive.
It is deliberately designed like this following a strange insect like style to match its creators.

More soon, maybe?

Proteus Art - Kelik Station

Introduced in Proteus The Long Way Round, Kelik Station is owned by the Dendritian Padaran Moss. It is a trading and diplomatic station for all the trade alliance races. Until this point I have a vague idea in my head of what I wanted to see, but this brings it all to life. The station has 8 large docking bays and 8 small docking bays, plus a central bay in the may complex for smaller ships. It is a massive station nearly 10 kilometers across. It is split in to 4 sections - the Upper central core where you will find all the shops, administration and diplomatic areas, plus living quarters. Then below that is the more industrial side with power generation, shield emitters and deuterium storage and on each side are the docking and cargo facilities with crew quarters. At any one time there are over two thousand people aboard Kelik with dozens of ships coming and going.

Proteus Art - Qidgee and Norcee

Continuing with the teaser introductions to the new ships due to appear in Proteus Evolution this is Norcee and Qidgee. Norcee is a second generation Titan although somewhat smaller than Miras, as you can see she is a monster of a ship. Norcee is very much the head girl, prim and proper and always thinks she is in charge even if her sisters tend to laugh at her and do what they want. Talking of the rebellious ones, to her side is Qidgee, technically the smallest of the Proteus ships. Qidgee is an utter hand full, with a potty mouth, a hyperactive nature and generally a complete pain in the backside. She is by far the weakest of the Proteus fleet though having minimal shields and no weapons yet she is unique in her abilities to form jump windows. She requires no recharge time and is amazingly accurate. She is also the fastest and most agile.

Proteus Art - Reunited

After the daring and frantic Plan B escape from Neo Alphius before everything was reduced to ash, the five ships rested above the world for repairs and for Miras to wake up. Needless to say Miras got a lovely awakening with her daughter snuggled in to her side and her sisters waiting for her to come round.

This piece is partly something I always wanted to do, and partly to let everyone know I have been doing updates to all my Proteus 3D models. As you can see, Saya, Koli, Terrik and Lunar have all had major reworks adding higher quality textures and improved mesh work.
If you want go back and look at some of the other works I have done - they have all been rerendered and updated and I have to say I am rather proud of them! Simply click the Artwork button on the right!

Hope you like it!

Proteus Artwork - Hataka

They are coming...

With the upcoming release of Proteus Evolution I thought I would give everyone a little time to absorb some artwork I have been doing. This is Hataka, the unexpected and frighteningly beautiful Proteus warship. She certainly came as a surprise to everyone...

Proteus Evolution should be out late this month.

Here is the Blurb!

"Life is starting to settle down once again. With the help rendered from the Alphians the Apeyron civilisation is starting to rebuild finding new worlds to resettle their population. As the Seleke Council approve the creation of new ships, tension grows at the Proteus family rebel against the Grand Council in an effort to earn their rights.
However when technology on Beletrix starts to malfunction, tensions rise, the finger of blame for these dangerous errors are pointed at the Apeyron with a theory they may have planted a virus.
There is something not right with the theory as the errors seem far too random and when the Seltus Shipyard goes in to lock down, the automation systems running amok, it is down to the irascible, under appreciated technical support specialist Issi Rem to try and solve this crisis and get to the bottom of this mystery and learn the truth of what really is causing these errors."

The first part of the Natural Selection Saga, Ghost's is an action pack tense thriller with a distinctly comical side as we follow the overworked, grumpy and arrogant Issi Rem as she tries to get to the bottom of a crisis that is threatening Verlon City, an artificially intelligent virus that has infected the Beletrix network. With the help of Zenni, Saya, Talishia, Tath, Sellie and Tamu, this unlikely group are dragged in to a dark situation with the most unlikely of endings.

Also included is a five page overview and fact file of the Seltus Shipyards and project Valkryia.
