In Lulach

The Game Of Empire, CHAPTER THIRTEEN.

Two possible cinematic presentations of human beings interacting with Cynthians: 

live action plus CGI;

animation.

 

The Cynthian town of Lulach is such a quaint, picturesque setting:

 

some buildings under large trees;

others among their branches;

squirrel-like Cynthians leaping between branches;

narrow, twisting, turf streets;

a rambling timber riverside inn with stables for horses and changtus -

 

- that it seems to me to lend itself to cartoon treatment. It as if Diana and her companions have wandered from a realistic environment into a cartoonish one.

 

There are two styles of comic strips: realistic and cartoonish. I used to wonder why the two kinds of characters never met. In fact, imaginative script writers and artists have sometimes found clever ways to combine them.
