Well - here is my vision of Scott's "Parlor Passage" as he described in his novel "Red Seas under Red Skies":
The tenth hour of the evening. Night fell like a cloak over the Ghostwinds; and the Poison Orchid, under topsails, stood in to the Parlor Passage gilded in white and amber light. A hundred alchemical lanterns had been shaken to life and placed around the ship's entire hull, a few in the rigging but most beneath the rail, casting rippling facets of false fire on the dark water just below. ... "A quarter less six," called a leadsman. "Fog coming up," said Jean. He and Locke stood at the starboard rail of the quarterdeck. Drakasha paced nearby, Mumchance had the wheel, and Delmastro stood by the binnacle with a small rack of precision timing glasses. "That's how it starts," said Mumchance.
If you're interested in the creation process (OK, at least some steps), please have look here: Passing the Parlor Passage
and and for all friends who came along with me:
~Sapharya thanks for sharing the best Locke Lamora quotes in Finnish - which still sound like magical invocations to me
~le-filou thanks for beeing so ... tyrannic (?) and enthusiastic
Thanks a lot and - No problem at all! I didn't realize that we have a second Locke-Group now here on dA - until now. I'd really love to join, but I learned that join requests are closed for now. Just note me, when you start to "hire" new members, OK?
Jokester! How hard I wished I would be able to work with Poser or DAZ to insert some people into the scene!!!! But seems I'm too slow-wittet for that.
But there is still hope. As the whole scene still exist as work-in-progress-wireframe-model on my harddrive, maybe someday I'll be able fo fix that point. and to use another ship-model and to figure out, how to get along with those damned lanterns!
Your comments and hints really made me think about another try to get through this passage. Thanks a lot!

*giggles* dA is a bitch sometimes
no administrators.. but you should still become a member then. Right?
I will look into it now.
