Mmmm. BTS spacefold.

If, like my coworker, you're wondering what the thing in panels four and five is... see here, here, aaaaand here for in-use shots of the Cheops CSM.

Last page for awhile - time to model the rec area.

Though the Cheops and the Terran Templar defensive "net" (which is really more of a "sharp stick") are a relatively minor part of the story, they're still a part, even if it's just for a laugh in this chapter.

20080608 : Okay, yeah. It's been almost two months since I've posted anything new. I took the first three weeks of that "off," then I spent the next four modeling the rec area. It looks great, but it takes forever to render.... worse, I completely biffed the first batch of renders (the panels of the next page) and had to re-render parts of all of them. Which has, as I'm sure you can imagine, slowed things down considerably.

That's been sorted, fortunately. The next two pages are rendered and the one after is chugging away. I'm currently planning on rendering the entire scene (or at least four of the five pages) before I start with the linework - it'll be more of a wait, but once I get rolling there won't be any production bottlenecks. Or I could just say screw it and start plugging away before the sun rises. Either way, the plan is to have a page up on the fourteenth or fifteenth at the latest.
