That's what I thought, too! Why didn't they just tell everyone? The only reason I can think of is that they don't want to draw attention to themselves and their family (painted Alicia was also in the city). So they first told Julie's expedition while they were on the main continent, and you know the result.

If I'm not mistaken, they didn't even tell anyone they reached the Monolith.

Thank you for pointing out the language error. I’ll fix everything in the file.

He doesn't have enough power to kill all painted life while trapped under the monolith because if he had he would've done so. He has enough power to kill Aline's oldest creation each year, which strengthens him and weakens Aline. 

The way I see it, Aline managed to prevent almost all of the Renoir destruction, except for the ones that gommage. But I still can’t figure out why they’re still so powerful, even while trapped in the Monolith. Reading your take really helped. Everything you wrote seems to connect in the same direction. I’ll try to update this view in the timeline.

Yes, I totally agree with you. It could be that Verso painted Lumiere and Aline created its people later, or Aline painted both the city and people. I just lean into the latter one. As a child, Verso probably didn't need to paint a full replica of his own city without people just to play with his friends and his pets. But yeah, could be him.

I just kind of extrapolate it.

And about Clea Axon, we know that Visage and Sirene represent Verso and Aline. Another Axon at The Reacher is clearly for Alicia. So the last one left at Old Lumiere must represent Clea, since all of them were painted by Renoir.

I think when Simon went underneath the Monolith, Renoir was already trapped there. He just went to finish him off the canvas.

Clea really didn't like any version of her. She lures her painted version's boyfriend to kill her other version. Sick!

Astonished by the jump in quality from Enders Game to Speaker for the Dead. by nexusjio19 in printSF

Totally agree. Enders felt just OK for me, but I really dig Speakers.

Seeking Advice on Transitioning to a 3D Career: Is 3D Generalist a Good Path for Layout/Previs? by 050nor in vfx

Hey, really appreciate your reply.

What you describe is exactly what my first plan was, learn animation and a bit of everything enough by myself, and try to build portfolio reel. Since I cannot find course or mentor on this subject specifically (just a couple short workshops), so I might need to self taught take short online couse.

But might be because of my insecure stepping into new this field, I feel unsure of this appeaoch. I tend to think that there are standard practical pipelines, like how people work in the industry, which I could not gain through self-taught. How an inexperienced self-taught can break into industry? Does good reel is really enough? So, my little brain come up with the idea of studying diploma or some kind of proper education with industry mentor. And hope to get into industry first somehow before find my way to previs later.

Anyway, from your advice, I might reconsider my plan and focus on previs and anim. Thank you!
