So here are the last of my new Retropolitan men, with their unique morphing faces and slightly less unique clothing that’s made to be easily retextured and modified into a wide variety of parts.<\/p>\n

My new system for characters is cranking along; even that minor problem I mentioned last time, with the modifiers I used to grow a character’s cowl out of his head, is working fine. I still don’t know why I had problems the first time.<\/p>\n

The fact is I’d love to keep going with these if it weren’t for the two ominous facts that 1.) I still need to skin all<\/em> my new characters to their bones; and 2.) I need to get back soon to the illustrations for The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/a><\/em>. There are lots of pages queued up in the buffer but I know that this last set is likely to be pretty challenging. I’d like to make an early start.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I’ve been thinking about the serial that will follow The Clockwork Book<\/em>. There are some things I’d like to do differently; but those things may not work well with the existing layout of the Thrilling Tales<\/em> web site. Some of my thoughts may be wrong headed, but if this works out it could mean good things for the print version of that story – which, I think, wants to be a longer form story than The Clockwork Book.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Still some things to figure out there; and as always, the frighteningly unfinished Part Two of The Toaster With TWO BRAINS<\/a><\/em> is moaning at me from my hard drive. It’s got a really scary <\/em>moan.<\/p>\n

Someday I really need to work on just one of these at a time. But I can’t believe that’s going to happen any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
