Sometimes working on comics means backyard action poses with the broom!
Astronaut Academy: Re-Entry will feature a lot of Fireball competitions (the sport of the future), so I’ve been taking reference photos behind the apartment. I just wish I could build full-sized replica of the Mecha suits and fire pokers! That would help a lot!
I’ll post some more photos with comparisons to the final drawings when the book is further along!
