speculation -1-

Note that in this case, "Apollo-Era" means "built in the 1960s," not "1960's technology." Though considering how the base is kitted out (bargain-basement war surplus and Interstellar Wal*Mart), the term can easily swing both ways.

Minor cropping here - lost a bit of linework in favor of slightly clearer presentation. After the past few pages, the idea of cleaning up more 45° angles makes me twitch.

This page was going to open with a new exterior shot... but I'm tired, dammit. Tired of reworking reworked reworks. I'm not done with adjustments - not by a long shot - but I am done with gratuitous CG, especially if it doesn't further the story. The panels and dialogue fit, so there was no need to "make" space.

===================================================

Finally, boobs. Real boobs, as opposed to the oversized horrorshow variety. :)

I'm quite happy with the way this turned out- it's been forever since I've drawn Tantek, so I had to refresh myself. Still messed up one of the lenses in the lower panel, but hey. High detail line art isn't something I've been doing much of lately.

Speculation is a four page sequence. Pages three and four are going to be substantially more difficult than pages one and two, especially if I don't cop out and actually do them How I Want Them. Given the week-long delay between the last page and this one, I can't exactly say that this scene will be blammed out at the pace of, say, the first half of transition.

Woot.

Oh, and I just (ten minutes later) noticed the wordflow glitch with the deadbolt bit. :P Won't happen again anytime soon, I promise.
