It seems like aeromorphs got a new phase of popularity!

So, I tried to draw them myself, and you know what? It was incredibly funny 🤣

And suddenly I’ve made, probably, my first OC from TU-144LL (first picture). I’ve even come up with the name for her - Vera Turbinova. And she is a sick, tired of life plane being, but once she’s got the chance to become a flying laboratory for NASA and help them to collect new data about supersonic transports and their problems, occurring, when flying at twice the speed of sound.

I’m planning to make a series of sketches, showing Vera’s life twists and turns in slightly humoristic form.

Classy lady Concorde (maybe, I’ll name her Naomi) from the second picture would be another character in these series and she’d be here for the contrast, representing everything that Vera was dreaming about and couldn’t reach due to various conditions.
