It's Fat Feline Friday, and it looks like that dirty ol' fat cat space pirate Djamil is up to something... But is he sneaking, or is he trying to draw attention to a certain asset of his?

Find Me On:
Fur Affinity ◈ Weasyl Djamil is another one of those characters I designed for Alternate Fursona Experimentation Time a while back, just in case I wanted to play with/as a fat bisexual space pirate, but he seems to be developing into his own independent character the more I draw him (which, by the way, I think of as a good thing).
An oddly suave and well-spoken Kurakalak pirate from the outer edges of Cygnian Federation space, Djamil seems to be oddly well-liked for a pirate, but that might have to do more with his favored targets being cargo vessels owned and operated by various private interplanetary corporations--such corporations tend to be pretty universally reviled, giving Djamil something of "folk hero" status as even if his raids are unsuccessful, he's at least hurting the bottom line of some unscrupulous corporate entity exploiting the resources of the galaxy for pure profit.
While I have yet to draw them, I have decided that his main ship is an old, up-gunned Jeroban Starfreighter and his favored personal craft is actually an equally old (and heavily modified) Lightbearer Dominion cargo shuttle converted into a gunship with the addition of hidden weapons, much like bounty hunter Wassa Rydaar's gunship.Posted using PostyBirb

And your food.
This does remind me, I do need to work out how interplanetary currency would work in-universe. For now, for those transactions where a fiat currency might not be suitable or accepted I'm working with the idea that valuable materials could be portioned out in a controlled way (probably by weight, and stamped in such a way as to indicate weight and prevent unscrupulous individuals from skimming a bit off the sides of the coin, ingot, chip or whatever by making such tampering obvious) and be used for bartering--things like silver, copper and gold have useful chemical properties that make them valuable beyond any sort of monetary value that may be assigned. This would make things like coins actually a viable currency even at backwater space stations not under the jurisdiction of any government.
