Now that I have a new account, I need to repopulate it.

Space Fox was one of my favorite projects to work on. So much so that I'm doing it again!

These are the original four illustrations I did for the series. I'll be remaking all four of them (plus six more!) in the future. I'm working on the sketch for the ninth of ten now.

Here's the first pic that I finished for the new Space Fox series. This is not actually one of the ten illustrations I'm working on for it, but a preliminary piece to nail the new design for her ship, the Aether.

This has been inordinately helpful as a reference, and I have it open for every single piece in the series I've been working on.

Here are the first four out of ten sketches for the new Space Fox project!

Countdown, ALTO (Air Launch to Orbit), Warp, and Intercept.

I will be doing all the sketches together, before moving on to rendering anything. And I've gotten eight done so far.

And the next four Space Fox sketches!

Exploration, Umbra, Event Horizon, and Reentry.

These include numbers two and three of the original ones. (also I'm tempted to describe the old ones as The Original Series and the new ones as The Next Generation).

After this, it may take me a while to post the next two, as I still need to do a lot of work on them.

One... more... Space Fox sketch and...

Holy heck. That's all ten done.

I can start rendering pictures for the next four years now! I mean, hopefully under two.

There's gonna be engine exhaust in this one, too, I think (depending on if I like it in the composition), but the sketch looked too messy and it obscured the plane, so I left it out.

I have committed many aerodynamic crimes in the making of Space Fox's plane. Also some poor decisions regarding reentry heating and whatnot.

But I'm no engineer, and this is a funny drawing about a small mammal going to space.

@ziphi designing a physically plausible spaceplane is Hard. no actual engineers have managed one that works yet either!

@ziphi (it's easier to do in kerbal because kerbin has low gravity and an extremely--even implausibly--thick atmosphere)
