I struggle with drawing machines, so I'm working on a quick and dirty model of the one-person "ship" that one of my poor astronauts will be using to land on Mars.
It’s based on a real NASA concept vehicle called the FLEEP.

@thepost-nz.bsky.social continues its racist persecution of Tory Whanau. So stoked to hear how much their readership is down.
I can’t believe I even have to say this but…
I felt it was important to support a local, emerging artist. Clark Roworth is exceptionally talented, and will now have his place in Wellington’s history. As an arts capital, I’d advocate for any opportunity to use our talented arts community. 🧵

My mini comics tend to be very densely drawn and take many hours per panel. So as I block out my graphic novel, l'm aware I'll need to come up with a simpler approach if I ever hope to get this book done! 😅
Here's a couple of examples of this paired down look l've just finished.

Started drawing Bad Space's first Chinese space mission, circa 2035. And because I am a nerd, I gotta make sure the crew's space suits are bang on.
The ref photos are their planned moon suits, which debuted just last year!

Velociraptor I cast in bronze, in pieces over past couple of weeks - from a 3d model by Clynche Art. Lots of learning in pouring and putting this together, but huge improvement on what Ive done before! Stoked!
