I’m not sure which I prefer.

I suppose both have their appeal.

Someone else is drawing a train… so… that means I’m doing more stuff with trains…

Wanna know why B and V are the same letter/character in Japanese?

And… what about P? Same.  Same.

Wanna know why F and H work similarly and why they are derivatives of the same phonetic?  And what about Pa?

Ga and Ka?

How about Da and Ta?  Almost, Same Same.

Wanna know why there is a good reason to animate Bs and Vs differently in Lipsync? Or when that might be ok?

I’m guessing the scale is fairly close to final unless we decide to go for extreme exaggeration and make them really really tiny.   Making them super small could work rather well.

More from the Train Robbers story…

A quick attempt to bring the Bearded Man into 3D.

And..  added another render with the Bearded Man closer to anticipated scale (where he is smaller).

First pass at designing the two train robbers…

Now live.

If you miss it look for the recording later.

A quick test of a 3D train for Jeremiah!
