Thalomine appears to have gotten on the wrong side of the alien tentacle plant beast locked in the "Hazardous Specimens" hold. And it looks probey. Damn aliens. Just when I'd gotten my food out of the spring-loaded dispenser, imagine... Okay, this is one of the most fun things I've drawn in ages. Zero gravity is fun as hell and gives me leeway to concentrate tension wherever I need. I can put anything I need in the frame wherever I need. Distorted interior perspective is so fun. Designing an interior completely gravity-ambivalent is so much fun. Drawing white plastic spaceship interiors is awesome. 1970s science fiction movies ("THX 1138," "Silent Running," "A New Hope," "Logan's Run," "The Black Hole") are among my favorite things ever made by mankind.
Also, you shouldn't have a geiger counter just floating around like that...
I really want to color this if I can find the time... but inking is SO MUCH FUN. And if anyone wonders, that panel behind Marble's head is supposed to be a window onto the void of space. I'm a claustrophobe and sorta needed to include that.

Probing holes must be fun, they travel through the entire galaxy for it XD I get the feeling that zero gravity is indeed beneficial to your specific syle...maybe you should set more of your art in outer space?
Also thanks for bringing up memories of "The Black Hole", Disneys failed attempt to jump on the Star Wars bandwaggon that was also one of my favorite movies as a kid. The villain, fellow landsman Maximilian Schell, died last year sadly, but I still remember how much that red robot scared me as a kid...even though I later realized it looks kinda silly...like pretty much everything in that movie XD Still, 70's scifi has its charme indeed

I want more of an excuse to paint zero gravity. Perhaps I'll ask
foxjump if I can use some of his characters for it...
The control panels were my favorite part of that whole movie. Like Epcot threw up.
but the seventies were kitschfests nonetheless! Not even Yul Brynner (my childhood crush) could save "Westworld" from sucking.

The food tray cracks me up every time—the way it (and the juice box) are drifting out of her hands perfectly sets up the situation unfolding in the scene! I like the sci-fi suit you made up too, and...that alien looks like a lot of fun...can't help but imagine it getting all up in her suit heh
And gosh I love your ink work. Those rich blacks in the tooth of the paper...just yes
Thank you so much for drawing this little scene...makes me feel inspired too!

I'm very grateful for a childhood reading the New Yorker, just for the chance I got to observe visual storytelling in action! Slowly drifting props are glorious!
And if you want the alien to crawl inside her suit, unable for her to remove it, that's the first thing that came to mind!
Haha, Always happy to inspire an artist! And yeah - David Apatoff's written some good stuff about ink. It's a medium that doesn't suffer fools, it's exhilaratingly ARROGANT to put those thick black lines into the tooth where nothing can remove it. I feel like a fucking queen whenever I go back to ink work..."Ink will still be there in the morning when you wake up." There's a lovely sort of submissiveness you get...

I intend to color this soon - I don't know how I would do that - see, the colors of old sci fi covers came about because they took the K plate off the artwork and printed them with no black. Ink is ONLY black. This is the polar opposite.
But I actually do have a parody or two of pulp magazine sci fi covers coming up, so just waiting and see! ^^
