Finally finished! Earlier stages in the drawings development can be found in my Scraps area, should you be a student of such things.
The drawing was for Ken Fletcher's (Heywulf) Spontoon Island sight, for a racing feature he's doing. Rather than choose an aircraft, I thought I'd invent a racing car. The scene takes place on a wharf on Eastern Island, (I call the town "Float City" but it's not official). You can see the peninsula stretching out behind them, and just around the bend of the headland is the antenna of the Carnacki Interdimensional Institute. The characters in the picture are Saara Mar, asking for a lift, and her consort sitting on the luggage just off the S.S. Sirius. Tangel is driving. One presumes the XT's are present in Spontoon thanks to the Interdimensional Institute...
No points for identifying the source of the name "Henson Wharf", but ten points for knowing where the S.S. Sirius is from.

I've seen photos of them. He also had a huge cut-away of the atomic rocket Prof. Calculus build in Expedition to the Moon. Incidently I bought a three inch replica of that today. For what it was, it was badly overpriced. But they're only made and marketed by some European company. Nobody imports them to Canada except this one, pretentious little kitch shop. It was only PVC and the white checks were crudly silk screened on the red plastic. But ten bucks and change was better than the hundred dollars the 8 inch model cost! What swung it for me was the 20% discount during the store opening. (The place used to be further east and recently relocated to my neighborhood. The trendies are coming... there goes a perfectly good seedy neighborhood.) Otherwise the wretched little thing would have been $14.
