So this year Fox & Ratty are taking care of "great inventions" that changed human (and rat) life. In their own special way of course...
State of works: 12 detailed sketches, 5 inked, one coloured... and the cover idea is ready (in my head, that is). I'll make the usual sizes, wall and desk, in English and in French (
To give you an idea, the inventions (following chronological order) are:
- Fire
- Wheel (Sumer)
- Papyrus paper (Aegypt)
- Alchemy (not very scientific but the result was dear to Ratty's heart)
- Printing press
- Telescope
- Electricity
- Photography
- Plane
- Parachute (not Da Vinci's, more modern one)
- PC (yup, Fox invented it!)
- Ever shrinking cellphone
I know, some of those aren't the most important ones in the world, and greater inventions lack, but pun ideas come first!
Sorry I haven't the prices yet, should be the same or so as last years, though the on-line site I'm having them printed by is increasing prices every year... Last time it was a few cents short of cost price :o/
Let's add that the drawings will be full page coloured, as in 2009 (Hercules' Works). Last year the cartoons were far more simple but I was still under the shock of Mom's death.
