every time i make a mashup nowadays i just look like this

SenshiStock’s gallery consists of millions of pictures that are free to use as reference.

Phew! Finally, another comic!

Sorry for skipping the civilization comic, but I’ve been in a Sci-fi mood, and I’ve had the strangest urge to build my own starship. So I’m taking y’all on a trip with me to discover the finer points about building our own spaceship!

Also, since I’m gonna be doing this, I might as well promote this awesome YouTube channel which analyzes ships all the time from everywhere. So go check out “Spacedock”, if you want more!
