I’ve always enjoyed your more realistic bits and pieces that you’ve put up for our perusal. whether it’s LoB cast or “other, various.” If LoB were to ever (knocks wood) get a shot at being an animated feature or series, I would personally approve of a shift in style toward the more realistic. I don’t mean a radical push to the extreme .. more of a tweak, a gentle, encouraging shove in that direction, so to speak. I think the individual personality and beauty of most of the cast could be brought out more that way.

I still, BTW, hold out in my heart of hearts that … y’know, once the tale’s told and we’re all drinking the dregs of our ale around a tavern fire one cold, winter night, regaling ourselves with drunkenly off-key and tawdry songs while a fiery blond barwench glares an evil eye our way … I still hope it turns out that a Certain Knower of Things and a Certain Ice Queen hooked up back in the deep, wild Days of Olde and that a certain granddaughter of theirs was one day born with a gypsy heart …
