Mwuahaha! No, seeing how huge the project is and how much I have to learn in order to be able to pull it off at all, I don't think the suggestion that I might not make it till the end is particularly nasty... Realistic, more like X/. We talked about this; I don't know what the chances are that this will ever come to anything. But why would I not follow my inspiration when I have it, and what do I stand to lose? So - we'll just see where I get :-).

I looked Mr Bammes up at Amazon; the book is highly recommended but not exactly cheap... What annoys me is that apart from the one image posted by your Swedish friend, I have no idea what the book is like on the inside, and so I cannot know whether it will bring me much that is different from my Sarah Simblet book, "Anatomy for the Artist". I wish I could get a look...
