It took me about two months to build that train. It's a fair approximation of the old California Zephyr. The consist is, for all you train buffs: engine(4-4-4-4 diesel), baggage car, two sleeping cars, dining car (with observation dome), lounge car and observation car. Yes every car has a full interior. There's even a piano in the lounge.
I bet there are some OS denizens who got to ride on the old CZ back in the day.
For all you CG buffs: panel 1 today took 84 minutes to render - all those !@#$ platform lights.

but caruso, is there someplace these are published, is it a Salon.com thing? i'd love to see the full-size or full-page or what have you versions.
and what's a semi-otician?
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve...
Maybe the bubbles will have to be changed to make sense in a different context, or perhaps old OSers will pay for the memories.
WOOF
Nanate: no it's a jjegraphics kind of thing and jje is sorta the insane one. And sizes? Yes I have them very large. A basic bg image is a 150 ppi tiff or uncompressed jpeg. I'm only half an otician, isn't that clear(?); a stop sign is octagonal and red - change either one and it's not a stop sign.
Designanator: Renders are done in Vue. The Muses are rendered separately and matted in. Old timer! Harumph! A version of the CZ ran in the 60's.
Susan: Interiors, yes. I mean if you have two sleeper cars doesn't that sort of imply someone is going to get murdered. I have a 100 (or so) pages of just that; my second Hat Check Kelly story. If I recall there's something like thirteen in the cast including Kelly, Nicky Cee Cee, and Hector Boiardi.
Ok ok I confess! I'm reusing stuff left over from a project I did two years ago.
and dear Dawg... re-issue after. That implies there is an after to re-issue into. I reject that kind of temporal chaunavism.
But to you poor people
(Leno is monologing Johnny-funny in the other room)
who have been trying to follow this - yes I'm taking this thing or something like it, bigger. In my own time, in my own way. Time is... well, I really have to let the pixies explain it to you.
whoa I made it here's Obama
