M is for Magic and Monsters











From Magic Fish to Monster in the Lake, we have monsters and mayhem and magic. The AI refused to reproduce the irregular pumpkin of the Man Who Lost His Head (I'm always struck by how many pumpkinheads I collect; that may be a post in itself someday). It also refused to reproduce the naked breasts of the 200-year-old picture of Melusine; I tried to edit it myself several ways (cover with scales or a wisp of hair) but no go. Finally I basically said, "Magic, do what you will,' and it came up with that armor-plating. Mim's Whims comes from those few seconds Madame Mim proves that she "can be beautiful, lovely and fair." Miramon Lluagor is from The Silver Stallion. Momots memorializes the fearsome critters of my youth.
