Astronaut Suit Design for Asteroids, Inc

Starting to work with a new astronaut suit design for the characters in Asteroids, Inc.

The idea is to account for the following:

• Life support / Oxygen
• Tools for fixing mining equipment
• Propulsion / Jet pack for traveling around an asteroid
• Display of suit status

Since its a comic the realism doesn’t have to be crucial but its nice to work in some functional aspects of what is really needed. I’m working on the overall ship design incorporating some real science. I’ll post some sketches as they come along.

Introducing Farm Comics

Farm Comics is a collaborative project that will be geared toward comic creation and the evolution of the medium in a digital environment. There are a couple of series that are in the works that will be explored in a classic comic strip and full page formats. All comics will be geared toward all ages from children to adults.

We hope to publish on a bi-weekly basis at least one episode across all the series. The current comic that is kicking off this endeavor is Asteriods, Inc, which involves Zinc and Stubon being sent into space to mine asteriods. The adventure will involve investigating the life of an asteriod miner through 1-3 page comedic episodes. There will be twists and turns that may arc into other series eventually.
