As long as I'm going on about stuff that's under the hood, I'll mention
that Jenny was born in Alberta, Canada where her Aunt Liska lives in
a strange nudist colony, but her family skulk moved to Hawaii soon
afterward to start Bali Hai Aviation.![]()

Am I correct that Jenny is wearing a white ruffle blouse under a blue jacket?
whitepony wrote:I was spending some time going back and looking through the High Rez versions of Scott's "21st Century Fox" strips and discovered that Jenny is actually wearing a piece of jewelry around her neck. Example: the third and fourth panel of December 27, 2002. I was mistaken and thought the jewelry were ruffles on her white blouse. Oops, my bad. So it might be possible that what I thought was a high collar, white blouse with ruffles (no potato chip jokes please) may actually be a high collar, turtle neck shirt under her blue jacket. Hmmm...now the question is what kind of jewelry is she wearing?

Is there a closeup drawing of Jenny's diamond necklace? Nearly all of Scott's drawing of her necklace just show a series of round circles connected in a one, two, three, two, one design; starting from the collar down. I'm now under the impression that the diamonds are compressed flat wafers. If so, they're rather fascinating diamonds and would be a challenge to draw.
Any suggestions?

(Let's face it, drawing a lacy Victorian blouse isn't exactly
easy. It gets simplified when I draw it. A Lot. She also
tends to wear a lei when she can get them delivered fresh.
Being on the road for a while, her lei wilted and she did
without. (Or maybe the artist got lazy trying to figure out
how to draw her necklace, a lei and all the lines of her
blouse and jacket and get it to look right.))
Now here is where it gets difficult to understand the design.The diamond necklace consists of 12 identical diamonds, each
about an inch or so in diameter. They're not quite flat, but
double conical crystals. (I should really look up the crystal
structure of just what angle they'd be at, but they should be
about an inch in diameter and 1/3rd of an inch thick in the
center where the two cones reach a point. The necklace is not
solid, but flexible between the stones, though, I haven't exactly
figured out how it's held together.

I spent nearly an hour searching the internet, trying to find a flat, round, double conical diamond. I'm not sure I'm visualizing it correctly. Is there a reference picture somewhere out there?

Oh, that's an easy one to solve:
I can't count. There are 9.![]()
I did find one cut called the "Princess" cut that was beautiful in appearance. Drawing that would be really difficult though.Kellogg wrote:whitepony wrote:I spent nearly an hour searching the internet, trying to find a flat, round, double conical diamond.

Just imagine something like the lens of a magnifying glass and you've
about got it. There are facets to the diamonds, but I'm not sure how
many there are in a normal diamond.![]()
There is an article in the current (February 03) Scientific American that details the manufacturing processes of synthetic diamonds, and discusses the propietary technique used by a company called Debeers.whitepony wrote:I did find one cut called the "Princess" cut that was beautiful in appearance.
