Houston, We Done Goofed

Alright, wasn't able to post this yesterday because I got too tired, so instead I just edited the pic preceding this one and finally, a chance to whip out the real sauce!
So, what we have here is a sequel to the pic I did in 2020, where my OC from my Astronaut Classroom original series Geoffrey "Geo" Chase, Jr., went spacewalking with his dad, Geoffrey Chase, Sr., went spacewalking together, each wearing my own p-EMU and NASA's Shuttle-ISS EMU respectively, and now they're shown here getting into the job! They are both on the right side of the pic, and accompanying them on the left is Geo's schoolmate Lisa Mavericks, and Mr. Chase's fellow crew at the ISS, ESA Astronaut Ferdinand Skye. As shown here, looks like there are some mistakes made during their work, As Lisa appears to be sweating and confused looking at the monitor screen and Ferdinand looked at his lead spacewalker and be like "you shouldn't have brought them here in the first place."
As I alluded to before, this pic is a sequel to the pic where Geo and his dad just got out of the airlock and are ready to spacewalk together (which you can check right here), in which I also described how there were four spacewalkers in this pic, in a form of a short story. So I'm not gonna put some more paragraphs mainly because I don't really have anything in mind, and I'll just put the link to the pic on DA which you can check right here. Besides, the scene here will be a part of the story that will go with the series anyway, written in collaboration by me and one of the Parfait-tier patrons MrGerudoMan, which so far has a prologue and 3 chapters, which you can check out right here for the prologue and right here for the first chapter.
As for the process, well as usual the poses are based on my previous pics, and for the EMU poses it's particularly easier as there's nothing changed from the template I made, except I made some changes to the lower torso, making the legs closer to each other, draw the arms asymmetrically, and, as of the WIP I posted earlier, modified the helmet's lights and TV camera assembly. Also decided to give each EMU astronaut a mini workstation, which Is why I figured out I had to edit the first pic to include one as well so that they're consistent in continuity. A bit stuck when deciding the hairstyle for Ferdinand so I whip out some online anime avatar maker and looked for some emo-esque hairstyle to match his personality.
And for the p-EMU poses, well, the thing with the preceding pic is that the suit has multiple layers for the visors, like 8 layers, and it was quite a hassle flipping the visibility of each of them on and off according to whether the visor is down or up, so I simplified that by making the visor part that stayed static a part of the poses group, making the layer for the visor 3: front visor, the visor handle tab, and the actual visor. also made them mostly opaque, especially the static ones, with a transparent gradient on the main visor. Later on, I do the same with the original Father-Son EVA pic.
But hey, that's just internally, what matters is that you guys liked it as much as I do :D
