Description This is one of those ordinary pages that doesnt have superhero action shots or crazy dramatic tensions. But it seems to still be a crap ton of work.

In this page too, on panel 1 the script just says they load this cargo onto a transport carrier...anything's cool.

Well, I could make it something simple and done before, but this is what is so awesome about comics illustration to me. there are so many opportunities to design new things that can stretch your creativity. After doing GI Joe for so long, and working on vehicles there I wasn't that intimidated. But I did want to try something new since most of those vehicles are either based in reality or drawn from an established toy.

I looked up some concept planes, figured out its function and did up some designs. However I couldn't take too long on this end of things because the other side of being a comic illustrator is that you simply don't have the kind of time to be working out these side details. Especially when they aren't fundamental to the story.

Still, fun to do, thought i would share.
