Molly's art notes: Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 13.2.581 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine with some post-work in Superfly and a tad more in Photoshop. The 6 separate images were then mounted in a graphic novel page format using Comic Life 3.5.21. Sonja Steelsinger is based upon La Femme with modifications by Afrodite-Ohki. Miss Pannikin is by 1971s. The maid servants dolls are by Studio Maya. The butler and his wife are based on the CSI dummy by Cybertenko. The setting includes the Steampunk hideaway from DAZ, steampunk buildings by Cybertenko and -Applejack-'s Level 1. The Torpedo Zeppelin is by 1971s. Support content creators!! I did include full size versions of the original panels. Finally, I worry that it's harder for those who don't speak fluent English to manage this format since cutting and pasting into a translator is not available with the images on a graphic page. Therefore, I reprinted the dialog below; if you use Google Chrome it can translate (right click and choose translate) or you can easily cut and paste into translating software. Another issue occurred to me: the effort to reproduce the accent of the unrefined characters like Sonja, Pannikin and Fat Bob might not translate so I included a standard English version of their dialog in square brackets beneath the reproduction of the speech balloons from the story page. ------------------------ Dialog for use in Translating software follows this break-------------------------------------- Panel 1 Narration: While Sonja and the maid dolls enter the manufactory, Pannakin and the others prepare a distraction... Pannakin: 'tis been time enough fer 'em ter be well on teh way fer ter rescue 'er ladyship. Time ter put a round inter teh Baron's strong'old, Mr. Butler!

Pannakin: Well placed, Mr. Butler! 'twill surely raise an alarum! Time to beat a retreat, Weasel! [Plain English: Well placed, Mr. Butler! It will surely raise an alarum! Time to beat a retreat, Weasle!] Weasel: Agreed! All is up to Miss Steelsinger and the maids, now. I'm turning us back to the Darkstar aerodrome.
