Yes, I'm still on my Have Spacesuit -- Will Travel kick.  I made an image for my previous post of my extended ending, and just kept going.  So sit back and try to enjoy some more images, created just for the heck of it without a mind toward pecuniary advantage.

You'll also notice that Peewee looks different than she did in my tribute to her.  That's because I did the actual rendering in 3ds Max and could therefore get the blonde hair to work like it's supposed to.  I could also make clothes drape properly and do fancier things with materials.  DAZ Studio can do a good job with select options (see my Ik entry, http://duane.duane-n-lisa.net/wordpress/?p=95) but it doesn't have the sheer power and flexibility of Max.

I'm thinking I should have spent more time making Wormface ugly, but there's always that trade-off.

*The term "quantum space fold" does not appear in the novel. It is a name I assigned based on the description. There is a theory (I know, because I thought it up, which means someone better at the math probably also has thought it up) that the Big Bang didn't happen as we think. All particles still occupy the same point and what we perceive as distance is an artifact of a quantum interaction number that behaves sort of like an angle. It explains action at a distance, and lets the Mother Thing's ship be possible.
