Hey, it's Inktober and this week, I'm doing a series of Flying Pigs to commemorate the fact that I, Luddite that I am, now own a cell phone. And not a flip phone either (thought it does have the pull-out keyboard.

This is a little plane loosely based on the P-26 Peashooter but made a little chubbier as befits a Flying Pig plane.



This is based on the old Evil Nazi Jetpack Penguin pack. Two GIs take over an experimental airfield



Just a Generic Jet Trainer as part of the Flying Pigs demonstration team



This is my favorite aircraft ever: the F-104 Starfighter Not the greatest but, what's not to like about a manned missile with wings?



On to a starfighter of a different kind: the Starfury! t's a little bit of a cheat. Just doing the linework was 4.5 hours starting at 9AM today. so, I decided not to ink the whole sky but, instead, relied on Photoshop to make some space...

Thiis drawing depicts LtCdr. Pigatha Leigh, Commander Space Group (C.S.G.) of Zeta Squadron during the Secession of Babylon 5

Cool drawings. Gawd, have I been away so long?

Speaking of F-104s, K and I got to sit in one toward the end of September: http://s4.photobucket.com/user/Pandabonium/library/Outdoor%20displays

I was amazed at how heavy the damned canopy was. One could easily lose a finger closing it!
