I&#8217;ve done all the work on the foreground balcony and its characters, barring adjustments and post, and having done that I now have some ideas for changes I&#8217;d like to make in the middle distance; then there are some other elements I&#8217;ve been planning to add in between.\n<\/p><p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/grafx2\/blog\/retrofuturistic_cityB04b.jpg\" alt=\"partygoers in the city of tomorrow\" height=\"399\" width=\"190\" style=\"float:left;margin:12px;margin-left:0px;\"\/>So, like I said &#8211; the city of next week or the week after. Give or take.\n<\/p><p>\nIt&#8217;s a little painful to see what happens to it when I shrink it down this much. With any luck, though, this bit of a close-up on the left will give you a better idea of what&#8217;s what.\n<\/p><p>\nNot too many misadventures on this bit, though as always some bizarre things did seem to happen. I&#8217;ve been meaning to try the Guruware <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guruware.at\/main\/ivy\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivy plugin<\/a> for Max, and so I did that here (in the urns at the upper left). Next time I think I&#8217;ll give it a trellis to work with.\n<\/p><p>\nThere are some small details that&#8217;ll reward a viewer who&#8217;s looking at the big version &#8211; like some Buck Rogers comics pages from the early 1930s, and a wine label (&#8220;Volstead Merlot&#8221;). That one&#8217;ll only make sense if you&#8217;ve looked into Prohibition history. And if not, why not?\n<\/p><p>\nStill not sure what I&#8217;ll call this. I was listening to Gershwin&#8217;s &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221; earlier and that seemed like the perfect soundtrack for the image &#8211; but &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221; is such a high-falutin&#8217; name for a picture that I probably won&#8217;t be able to bring myself to use it.\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, I&#8217;m still working on my City of Tomorrow &#8211; or the City of next week, or possibly the week after that.
