Ace Pilot’s Fighter Jet
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at today’s comic, as well as this comic from 3 weeks ago.
Figure 1 shows Ace Pilot’s air/spacecraft, after I sketched/scanned/inked it.
I actually extrapolated Figure 1 from Figure 2, which is an initial (and very primitive) sketch of the same machine which debuted in this strip 3 weeks ago. Some of the details from Figure 2 did not make it into Figure 1, which also contains features not present in the previous version. Yeah, there’s a continuity issue here, but seriously, you don’t care, right? 
Designing this stuff is complicated enough, and Figure 2 was a half-baked attempt which I obscured with a lot of shadows in the actual comic.
I bet nobody noticed until I pointed it out!
PS: If all goes well, you guys will get to see an exterior shot of the Terence N. Tijuana for the first time since this strip. Keep your fingers crossed, spaceships are damned difficult to sketch!
