Maybe I am running out of ideas after these past few years. However I did go to the Festival of the Books in Waukesha this past weekend and attended a number of panels, most of them on publishing, e-publishing, etc. Got some good info, new ideas, and talked to writers. They did have a Graphics Novels panel but that didn't really apply to what I want to do.
However, sitting through one of the BORING panels I did start writing down some dialog and small sketches for another mad scientist in a box strip while listening to the history of Steampunk being discussed. (It was only boring because they were running through a list of movies and books, all of which I'd seen or knew about already).
So -- I have most of a small adventure plotted out using the Aether Rider (aka The Wind Bag), which still needs an ending, but that won't be hard.
I also sketched out three jointed paper dolls - a sparrow, cockatiel and parakeet - with flexing wings, moveable head and tail.
I'm sure the panelists thought I was taking notes. LOL
