Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet

On Treasure Planet, Harald Siepermann also worked for several weeks on visual development for the character Captain Amelia.

Amelia is the captain of the magnificent space galleon the Starfinder, that takes Jim and Professor Doppler on the expedition to find Flint’s treasure.
