I did actually have enough time after returning home post-July 4th festivities last night to finish the artwork for today's comic page in a basic sort of way, but I felt the shading and CG work was important enough to this page to spend some extra time on it before uploading. I hope you like it; personally I feel it came out rather well. Hmm, looks like rain moving into Tharsis tonight.

The air shield Caprice mentions was used back on Page 71 when our heroes were visiting Io. Technologically it's a quite simple device which she activates by using the lasso and magic wand tools to select and then applying a 50 percent, 32 intensity outer glow effect.
