We haven't seen the half of the trouble it's going to cause yet! Here's #33 with a big nod to Monty Python... I'm going to call it a night and do #34 & #35 tomorrow. I'm going to make #36 an oversized recap strip with the Storyteller recapping the story so far using images from previous strips.

And #32!

Thanks, David! #31

Thanks, Rodney! I hope the audience at the website will feel the same as you! I've had a fondness for doing something like this for a long time! I remember having a conversation with a business partner back in the mid '90s about my wanting to do an adventure story with cartoon characters. I just like that idea... and with this, I'm getting to do that!

I was hoping you'd say that! The detail and texture just screams out for being seen in HD!

Thanks, jimd! The book is still aways down the road! On November 2nd, these strips will begin running five days a week on the website. Once I've finished this story, I do plan on having a book printed, but I'm still about a year away from that, I think.

Thanks, Stian!

It's amazing, Dusan! Wonderful, beautiful, touching! Really and truly amazing! As Paul says, a masterpiece! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Thanks, Kat! Well, it sounds like it's a done deal for Flemm... all he has to do is bring in Henrietta as his sponsor! I can't imagine that anything might go wrong... :-)

Gerry I think she looks great! The only thing that stands out to me is that I worry she needs another spline ring at the shoulders. Not sure that it will deform they way you want it to. Three rings is usually the rule, but it might not be a problem...

That's really looking great, Al! I love seeing the details in these models!

I think these are really cool-looking, Myron!

Bam Said the Lady! Done with #30!

#29... one more to go and then I'm caught up!

Thanks, Robert! I'll try to keep that in mind!

Rolling right along!

Assembly line's a crankin'! Here's #27...

Lookin' good, Paul! That's an amazing range of expression he's got built into him!

I hope so, Andy! Here's #26! I'm hoping to get 2 more done today. I'm behind this week. I had a lot of Greyhawk writing to do earlier in the week and was visiting family for most of yesterday.

Excellent, Gerry!

Here's an update on Glimey. Still have some things left to do before I call him done. glimeyturn.mov And here's Glimey with Flemm for size comparison...

Alternately, you can select a ring of splines from the group you want to use the same surface settings. Copy and paste it and then delete it. There'll now be a duplicate group created in the PWS. Select it and add the new splines you want to use to that new group.

She looks great, Gerry! This year's is going to be epic!

This is an issue of continuity. If you want the top to be flat, you need to create a new non-continuous spline. To do that. Hit the "a" button, hold down the shift key and click on the first CP, then with the shift key still held down, click on the second CP.

I don't know if there's a Window's equivalent, but on the Mac, A:M uses the OS' color palette: By selecting the icon with the three little palettes, you can add colors and palettes to a saved list. (Organized people can name them and save multiple palettes.) Another helpful thing is that by selecting that magnifying glass icon, you can capture the color of any pixel on your screen. So, you can select the magnifying glass, hold it over one of the color boxes in the PWS, click on it and select that color!
