Larger version here.
Pen line work with digital colour and editing. Part character test, part messing around with thaumatropes (and dirigibles). The reason for Gwen’s expression in the last panel is because she is actually doing something subversive (more on this in the fulness of time).
The two separate pictures are of a dirigible and (if you turn your computer upside down) a seated man who has just dropped a bowl. Together they are *meant* to look like a rudimentary and possibly unfeasible aircraft. Still working on the optical illusions here.
Edited to turn one of the images the right way up – I kept waking up last night with it bothering me.

Looking forward to finding out about the subversion.

Really cool and I love the facial expressions!

I was thinking the same thing as Susan – and wondering: could there be a possible story to be published that goes with this? I guess we will have to stay tuned!

Thanks!
Will and Susan: no, not yet. Gwen (and my lemur superhero) are still only vague ideas. For now.
