Three stages in the life of the immortal space pirate, Captain Bloody Jack Hacke, a 500-ish-year-old space pirate originally from the 17th Century. Found the fountain of youth (which I decided, in the context of this narrative, is an alien life seeding and data collection device), which keeps him vigorous and allowing him to use his own life energy to power a personal deflector shield, but doesn't allow for regeneration of major organs or limbs.
It was an exercise to develop "early game" and "late game" versions of a character in an art trade. The former just as he began his pirating career, stealing a ship from a space port, the middle during heyday of his pirating career, and the third after his crew and ship were wrecked by opposing forces, leaving one very angry immortal to cyber up and come after them.
Character owned by a fellow MATC alum, Frank R (stage 2 based on his design), stages and art by me.
