Also, whilst looking at human spines, I found this. Just remove the pelvis and the light bulb and you've got the general shape of a hooder.
Righto, I've just finished working backwards through The Technician and am now further tidying, also writing those chapter starts: 'How It Is -- by Gordon', 'From a Speech by Jobsworth' etc.

"...imagine it ten times bigger and coming down on top of you."
I'd rather not, thank you, Neal. :)
That is one cool looking lamp!!
How IT Is. hope to read lots of "it"s in this next one.
ever seen this footage of actual early hooders spotted not far from where we all live? at 1:37:

I've always imagined the Prador as looking like horseshoe crabs.
But Michael, that's what I ask you to do in my books!
Larry, yeah, but I wouldn't want it in my house.
Vaude, I enjoyed that clip - some cool life forms there. I might nick that floating lens thing.
Glad to hear that, Friso. I see them clearly enough in my mind but always wonder, as with all my beasts, if my descriptions are good enough.
Of course those considering entering the ART COMPETITION should take note of this. If you don't know about this, scroll down and click through the SUBMINDS link.
Are there bigger versions of the cover art for Orbus available?
Do you have descriptions of the creatures, ships and worlds available in snippet form that could be posted on subminds, not dissimilar to the "how it excerpts" rather than having to re-read all the books again?
I appreciate that this is cheeky and lazy, but it would help budding artists. For instance I would not have drawn a hooder with the Lamina part of the spinal column projecting up, I would have drawn somthing more similar to a Centipede but with a Trapezoid shell (elevation ways), ringed about with the red eye dots, the mouth parts and manipulators though, Horseshoe crab all the way, but maybe lots more leggy bits for rotating and dissecting.
It has to be said the Polity needs an illistrated encyclopedia, to be fair it just needs an encyclopedia.
What I mean is a bigger better encyclopedia, out side of the Excerpts from Gordon and Co.
Already have posted that stuff to Subminds, Graeme.
"Lamina part of the spinal column projecting up, I would have drawn somthing more similar to a Centipede"
ditto.
