This is an interlude scene from
wonder_city Stories, and features Molly, an 82-year old woman with the body of a 13-year-old girl, and Hel, the airship AI, represented by her brass speaker horn and arm. Oh, and cats. Lots of cats :)

Date: 2011-04-22 11:24 am (UTC)Also, I really enjoy the somewhat cynical look on Molly's face. She doesn't have that slightly blank look that some 13-year-olds (and 16-year-olds, etc) manage (I see it on my goddaughter from time to time) -- she's thinking and calculating, which is perfect.
My one small criticism is Molly's shirt -- which is totally my fault for never mentioning it in the scene description. She's probably tossed her coat somewhere, but the shirt/outfit she'd wear under her tailcoat would probably look something like this (http://www.doversaddlery.com/the-ts-front-zip-breech-by-tailored-sportsman/p/X1-35185/cn/1/). (Her full outfit is probably related to this (http://www.doversaddlery.com/pikeur-dressage-shadbelly/p/X1-4028/cn/34/), though she wears black breeches under the green tailcoat and she's probably done away with the hat for anything but high dress occasions. :) )

Date: 2011-04-22 08:35 pm (UTC)Sorry about the outfit...she was described as wearing jeans and a t-shirt in her first appearance, and began the interlude by casting off her outfit and declaring The Equestrian to be on leave, so I didn't think she'd be dressed 'in character.' It's easy enough to fix :)

Date: 2011-08-07 09:01 am (UTC)It isn't crucial, but I'd kind of like to see the background a bit more cluttered up with steampunk-techie stuff. Maybe a bank of several speaking trumpets in a row, with their acoustic tubes bundled together for a short distance before running off into different walls, ceilings. and floors. Maybe a feel kind of like this picture:

--only not *that* cluttered, more spacious, and less electric stuff.

Date: 2011-10-25 12:59 pm (UTC)The first thing that caught my eye was the decoration on the - grammaphone? horn in the front right.
You draw awesome kitties; I want to see more of the one on the back of the chair, with the perfect kitty-smile.
And the doorway! OMG lovely!
