Excellent! I don't know how I've been missing out on these forums in the past. No more.

For me as a young lad, the Sentinels were one of those rare creepy comic book entities that scared me. Something about those emotionless beings with only one goal had a powerful impact.

Sentinels are fun to write and fun to draw. Their sheer monolithic quality, the bull-in-a-chinashop aspect of, well, pretty much anything they do. Usually with large characters an artist has to stay aware of their surroundings, how much space they have to move around in. Not so with Sentinels!

I found Alex Ross' depiction of them (in MARVELS) particularly effective, as they swept through the city at night.

Big fan of the Sentinels. And their big, sorta-but-not-quite human faces are creepy.

JB - I like how yours looks more like the stratojet that Dave Cockrum first drew instead of the SR-71 that it was based on.
SR-71 is my favorite jet, but looking back at Dave's work, he definitely drew it shorter than what some artists went for later on.
Looking back to find the few times that you did draw it in your original run, it always looked like you stuck to that then as well.
I really do hope to see this in print someday.
