This is just a little… something. It was a one-point perspective exercise I was doing that got a little out of hand. Just so you don’t think I’m on the “Permanent Vacation,” as so many great comics end up doing. I’m still here, and 6-Commando will be back sooner than you think!
By the way, just to restate the posting policy I have here – you have to add a legitimate email address or it’ll confuse my filters, and they’ll delete your message by default. If it does get through, I thereafter MARK it as spam, so it adds up on the filter on a continuous basis. Believe me, I get that some people are nervous adding an email address to a post – but if you don’t, even if you’re legit, making up an email address that’s clearly fake, or is connected to one of my watch lists, flags under my spam rules, so I add it to the spam list. I had to do that to three or four comments recently. It’s not ’cause I don’t love ya, it’s just to keep the bots off everyone’s backs, and to keep the site from getting branched and used for nefarious deeds.
Anyway, I’m still on downtime here, but I do try to keep my hand in, anyway! All the best, folks.
You officially have my attention, sir. Great drawing.
😀 glad I caught your eye!
I’m getting some Gerry Anderson flashbacks, specifically to Captain Scarlet and the Angels, an elite squadron of all female fighter pilots, who flew bright white attack jets.
Sarah in Supermarionation? Now THERE is an idea that had literally never occurred to me!
To be fair, Mike is the kind of thing Mr Anderson would have put into his shows. I mean, a massive, neuclear powered battletank? Granted, a Gerry Anderson version of Mike, would probably have reel-to-reel tape computers for brains and make chugging, clicky noises when ever he spoke. Also, don’t forget about Supermacromation, the puppetry technique used on the very last, often forgotten Gerry Anderson puppet show, Terrahawks
good job, I know it’s ‘just a one point exercise’ but dang if that wouldn’t make a heck of a splash page. Just saying…
Glad you think so! Here, I was worrying everyone would forget about this comic!
Do you have an actual tech sheet or just weapons loadout for these?
You know, it’s the one vehicle that I don’t think I’ve done a spec sheet for yet. I should do that.
You should let your hand go free some more often if we are going to see this kind of things 😀
I’ll be patiently waiting in the runway for the clearance, sir
I’m actually really into it, now, just some one-off illustrations for the comic. It’s fun, and actually kind of revelatory about some oft he deeper themes in it.
Ah, the old days. When she still had hair.
And both eyes.
And Milo.
Well I see she was practicing monocular vision for later, she even picked the correct eye.
Not to be a bother, but I’ve always wondered:
Where did you come up with the name “Bronniford?” Even for Quebecois, its seems a bit strange.
Her father was Anglo-Quebecois: Alan Mark Bronniford. Her mother’s family name was Trudeau.
Of course Gerry Anderson would have updated the computers etc.
What type of craft are these we see?
Some of the best design work were on the GA shows. Cars, planes, subs and buildings.
These are “Howlers,” wing-in-ground effect hybrid tanks and low-altitude aircraft. Sarah’s unit, largely composed of crews from Quebec, but also Cuba, Japan and South Africa (and others) pilot about three dozen of them. They’re used for recon and as fast, light tanks.
Good enough to be a “Join the UNA” advert! Excellent sense of perspective and horizon.
😀 I’m a pacifist, and even I might fall for it!
And death from above! Where do I sign up? 😀
Lookin’ good major! 😉
Yeah, she looks good in uniform. All the characters are like the opposite of superheroes, wearing baggy clothing and all too human…
Keep ’em flying! 🙂
