Description
This is an early birthday present for a long time and active watcher The-Combine-Engineer .
Its a Sea_Vixen, with a Sea-vixen. The aircraft isn't 100% the original its a VTOL variant, I hope you enjoy bro!
Also for everyone else I would like you thoughts on this piece. I am trying to work on a simpler style so I can do a comic without it taking me 20+hours a panel. This was a sub 4hour piece from conception to final touches.

A sea-vixen? Well thats a new one, but I kinda like it actually x)
4 hours is a good time for a piece like that! The character looks great, especially the expression. The aircraft looks great aswell!
It's hard to get a good balance between quality and speed in art. The only little tip I'd like to suggest maybe is to consider cleaning up the lineart a little bit more, for example on spots where there are "two lines indicating the same shape" (left side of the picture, the darkgreen bomb's tip), or on spots where lines unnecessarily cross each other.

Haha yeah thanks bro!
And your not wrong, hopefully the more work I do the better I can get lines on a time crunch.
The lineart, and the initial shading is usually what takes me the longest on a piece.

Well, this was unexpected! I love it!
I actually had to Google the Sea-Vixen. ^_^' It's a little obscure.
Engineer Vision engaged From my engineering view, I find the Sea-Vixen to be an odd choice for a VTOL version. Mostly 'cause of that boom-tail and the general design of the craft. But hey, the Lockheed lift-fan! (I might start calling it the Luft-fanen 
On comics though, I'd say that amount of detail in that amount of time is acceptable.

Your welcome bro, you've been around for awhile and always pretty active.... And idk which one this catagorizes in but the back two jets tilt downward and there is a little booster on the back for liftoff/landing. I am not to sure about the original aircraft, but this one is mint for light ground assault, and anti ship warfare...almost like a light weight frogfoot.

Yeh, thanks again.
Engineer Vision engaged! Hmm, I thought about it for a little bit, and reached an interesting conclusion. Because of the twin-boom tail and the position of the engines, the center of mass and center of lift would be in the right place for vertical direct-thrust, and kinda eliminates the need for a booster under the tail... I kinda wanna design a full jet based on that idea now.
I did a little more reading, and I think the idea behind the sea-vixen was an anti-ship missile rack and recon plane.
Heheh, I see what you mean. Nose mounted buzzsaw cannon.

Exactly that was the thought is that the placement of the engine would probably be ideal for a vtol. And I actually came up with a tad bit of lore for the race to.

Right on.
And lay it on me, me amigo. I'm kinda curious about the Sea Vixen species.

Mainly they build sub aquatic cities, and have a massive submarine fleet...but like huge submarines. Hence the need for VTOL aircraft as there runways are more helipads than actual runways...and only emerge when they launch. They are a lot like dolphins in that they can swim pretty good but also need air.

So they're pretty much Gungans, but with a lot less Binks-Hijinks, eh?

Hahaha yes!! Fluffy gungans.

Yeah, technologically advanced ones.

Haha yeah minus the blue ball thingys

And without the strange reliance on pack animals to carry their shield generators.

Yeah and that XD

Yeah. You'd think they'd have some form of automobiles to act as proper war machines. But instead you see space giraffes with massive machines on their backs.

You would think XD

Haha which one the jet or the Fish-fox?

Haha.....ha....I kinda liked the fish-fox.....
