I'm almost finished and Oxford University Press are already printing the proof edition, which is the not-quite-finished version for reviewers, sales reps and such. But the final printed edition won't be in shops until autumn. I'm glad I took a photo of this drawing because it suddenly made me realise that I'd forgotten to draw the axle between the wheels. So I was able to nip in and fix it. Phew!\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mcintyre_seawigs_14jan1-810cdce79e.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nYou can see earlier glimpses of the book under my \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/tag/seawigs\">Seawigs tag here\u003C/a>. Drawing underwater stuff if fun, I can create a real magical kingdom. I'll be working on this picture today.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/mcintyre_seawigs_14jan2-b847478bae.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAlso, I was talking to my co-author on it, \u003Ca href=\"http://philipreeve.blogspot.co.uk/\">Philip Reeve\u003C/a>, and he referred me to the sets in \u003Ca href=\"http://www.magicroundabout.com/\">\u003Ci>The Magic Roundabout\u003C/i>\u003C/a> and sent me this link. If you're not from Britain, you might not remember this programme from childhood, so I'll post it for you. It's very slow-paced, but the shapes and colours are so lovely:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"2347\"/>","2013-01-15T07:22:00.000Z","seawigs-work-in-progress",[],"seawigs work-in-progress",1776628724655]
