"(And if anyone is offended by my characterization of Muslims, let me suggest that your offense is misplaced: your offense should be directed at those Muslims who are giving the religion a bad name by exactly these actions. If Islam truly is a "religion of peace", as President Bush said shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, then why is there not more being done within Islam to censure amd marginalize those who call for violence and murder?"

DAvid,  your brain works quite well when it comes to drawing the forms we here love so much.  But your brain does not work so well when it comes to detached analysis.  Within one sentence you admit that there are some Muslims who give that religion a bad name AND defend your subsequent (mis)characterization of all Muslims.  The thinking you demonstrate is a sad commentary on how a man widely seen throughout the rest of the world as morally corupt and intellectually challenged could not only be elected, but also REelected.  What ever happened to "the land of the free and the home of the brave" – to "one nation under god?"  It was sold to the highest bidder with nary a peep of lprotest from people like you.  No wonder other peoples will do whatever they can to keep the same thing from happening to them.  The american eagle no longer carries an olive branch and "big brothe"r has taken over and that is apparently OK with you and everyone else who reelected that person?!  If american democracy can come to this, what realistic hope can it offer the world?  And spare me the inevitable "if america is so bad how come everyone wants to move here" argument.  That is a myth perpetuated by the conservative talk show culture you apparently use as your news source.  The USA imprisons more of it's citizens than any other 1st world country.  American infant mortality is the highest in the 1st world (with multibillion dollar wars, who needs health care?).  And of the richest 20 nations in the world america has recently lost it's lead and been dropped by the exact same organization to now be included among the 3 least free.

Love the alternate story line (not any more than the original, though).  And am looking forward to updates to both the alternate and the original.  And although you are a tease, David (for showing us everything but the climactic transition – again), you are also a greatly appreciated artist.

Hi Pete,

So,you've entered the "no-return" arena of morphing.  Good luck to you.  Seriously, I look forward to where a man with your skills can take morphing. w/r to this effort – GOOD JOB! As a suggestion to be taken for what it's worth, One thing I learned over the years is that some manipulations really benefit from use of adobe's "sharpen" tool once they are "done."

As an observation: to me your legs need a llittle work – maybe the lower leg is disproportionally short or something – you are almost but not quite there.
But from the knees up you are dooing absolutely fantastic work.  I look forward to seeing more.
Many thanks for showing us your work.

Oh MY!  All these mysterious and wonderful changes in our concept of David's luscious Tetsuko character.
Might I say that this thread and our lovely Tetsuko are … ahem… pregnant with possibilities?
