Fuligin in illustration

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

You guys are great.
thanks so much for scanning and hosting the illustration.
yes i agree its the most faithful thing I've seen for Severian.
and very well rendered ta boot.

and yes, I'd LOVE to seen the additional Vass Richard covers.

this rendering does bring up one other question I've been toying with, which is, wouldn't these future ice age folk be sorta hairy.  Anything I've seen has a sort of modern whiteboy look, ie, not so hairy.  I suppose he might look like a manly russian old school dude.  I mean, he's a wolf and the name Severian is Russian, No?  anyway, I don't really think there is much mention of his hair, other than the black hairs on the back of his hands and head, and his shaving.  I don't think there is anything to say he's not a hairy chested man.

Christ, I'm such a nerd.

best,
~witz
