Actually the thing I've found the hardest is to construct her eyes in this angle.

Eyes in three quarter are in perspective! Draw perspective lines from the front-most eye and it'll be easier.

Oooh...I don't know if I'm up to that. Why don't you give us another one, and I'll try to think of one for the future?

[Therefore, (3x2)+(3x2)=12]

I stink at math, but my reasoning would run something like this:

• If Wonky Island is always last, it should be dropped from has no bearing on the number of possibilities we're considering.
• 
  If Oceanspirit is first or second, that means:
  
  
  
  • Three possibilities in the first slot with Oceanspirit in the second (A)
  • Three possibilities in the second slot with Oceanspirit in the first (B)
  • A combination of the others in third or fourth for each (C)
  • For each A, there are two C groups. For each B, there are two C groups.
• Therefore, (3x2)+(3x2)=12

My guess is 12, though I think it's unlikely I'm correct.

Thank you! Will check this out this evening!

[Perspective grid]

Perspective grid, with arbitrary curvature (I like it for rooms, and fits the kind of curves I tend to naturally use when I sketch freely)

Any chance you have a higher res version of this you wouldn't mind sharing for us to try out?

Vince is working on a nice-looking new comic. I follow him on Twitter....

Go out to eat now. You will think, I have a newborn -- we can't go out. We'll wait 'til she's older. But this is the easiest and quietest your baby will be for awhile. Once she turns two, your peaceful evenings out will disappear.

Can't say I've ever come across 'anymore' as a replacement of 'nowadays' not at the beginning of a sentence. That just sounds way off to me.

It's apparently a regional affectation, and I've just moved in recent years to the region that's affected.

I'm fairly certain the Associated Press used to capitalize Century, which is perhaps where you got that from. They don't anymore, though.

One thing that bothers me, since "anymore" was brought up, is the positive use of the word, i.e. "anymore" used as a replacement for "nowadays." Anymore people use "anymore" to begin sentences, like this one, and it bugs the living shit out of me. I wish they wouldn't do that anymore.

There were actually a number of early text adventure adaptations of the game. One of which you could win by simply refusing to play!

Looking forward to this one!

Mr. Colossal just saw the release of the book version (by Amulet) of his popular webcomic Rutabaga.

Wait a minute...I thought that green dome looked familiar....

And in an interesting counterpoint to what I posted back then, I now use a perspective grid for everything, even clouds.

WHAT?

You might check this old thread I started for help.

Try Kerkythea. It's free, and will give you better renders than Sketchup alone.

Granted. You are enormously nonplussed to find that you don't actually exist.

I wish for someone to shovel my driveway.

Granted. Now we have lost one of the all-time great bits of television dialogue. Thanks a lot.

I wish I had remembered to pack my lunch this morning.

Granted. You made this wish on a day when I literally tried to catch a closing door for someone coming through and accidentally wound up giving someone else a bruised nose when I pushed it open. Now more people will be nice with horrific, unintended consequences.

I wish we had British chocolate in America.

Granted, but....


I wish for the person who replies to this has a great day.

Eight Bit Skyline becoming a publisher to watch!
