space girl comic
that kid is dedicated to his craft.
if you’re wondering why there wasn’t a comic this tuesday, i’ve been really busy with work lately, so sedna is moving to a 1 comic/week schedule until i can build up my buffer a little bit. sorry about that mates. hopefully i’ll get back up to 2 again before too long.

illustration day mates! nice view from up there.
for those wondering, this particular dinosaur is a ‘giraffatitan’, a tall sauropod from the jurassic. you’ve probably seen before but falsely labelled as ‘brachiosaurus’, which is a similar but less giraffe-like sauropod that lived in north america, while giraffatitan lived in africa. early paleontologists thought they were the same species, and giraffatitan had a much more complete specimen, which is why a lot of brachiosaurus illustrations looked like this.
i tried to be anatomically accurate with these guys for once, and it’s surprising once you realise just how small their heads are compared to their massive necks. it makes sense though. sauropods don’t do a lot of thinking or chewing, they’re basically giant tree vaccuum cleaners, and the head is pretty much just a feeding hole.
also yes, this does mean the next batch of comics are going to be dinosaur-related. i haven’t been super happy with my earlier dinosaur comics so this time around i’ve tried to improve the art and make the jokes a little funnier. hope you guys like them.
that girl’s got a good family. :)
well, that’s the end of this little sedna+mum series. hope you guys enjoyed it. it’s a nice break from all the usual science geekery just to have some characters goofing around every now and then (and it’s nice not to have to do any research for once).
but for the (probably) small percentage of you who are actually here for the educational science comics, stay tuned for next week. ;)
must. resist. those eyes.
awww cute- oh wait. o_O
find a boy who looks at you the way he looks at his stuffed dinosaur collection.
at least she could probably pick him up on the moon.

another day, another illustration i probably should’ve planned ahead better instead of winging it and hoping i’d figure it all out along the way. i think it came out a bit too blue and visually noisy (but hey, it’s not the worst thing i’ve ever drawn).
as some of you may know, this is actually based on a real window on the international space station in the “cupola” module, which has by far the greatest view of any window on earth (or off earth, in this case). the actual window is a tiny bit little smaller than this one though, and probably doesn’t have as much random garbage floating around most of the time.

finally another slice of life illustration! these are way easier than drawing dinosaurs or spaceships.
this one probably doesn’t have as nice colours or composition as some of my other illustrations, but i sure had a blast adding all the little easter eggs around sedna’s room (i wonder if any rocket nerds will notice anything… familiar about some of sedna’s rocket designs). :P
you can never trust that girl when she’s wearing her lab coat.
