Sorry for not replying earlier, i wanted to have some update to go with the reply, unfortunately, no luck here - been bit busy lately 
HieSpike: he’s not likely to be ‘looking away’ - his backside is not that interesting 
claudio_jordao, painkiller: Thanks guys 
Versiden: yeah, that my be a bit of a problem - but i just had to model him after i sketched him - even if he end’s up being very small in a final image ;), besides, i like character-centric pieces.
visualact.com: thanks - might as well do that 
Rui_Padinha: Cosmix was very nice, nice character, and very cool visual style, especially in wider, open-space shots. Well done
. As for charismatic characters, i like such ones much more than generic ones - generic characters are most often simply boring 
jamacsween: Great idea, steam-clockwork parrot, hmmm, will see what i can do. Thanks.
JamesMK, Static Project: Thanks 
Daniel McMillan: I actually have some sketches of the ship - unfortunately it’s for a single person, so only crew would be that parrot mentioned by jamacsween.
Had to scrap few of my ideas as they are already done by some people in this challenge, thinking about new ones hehe
