Very cool.
I have a few WIP scenes where I was working on some things out of the Tom Swift
Jr. series - since I have a not-quite-complete set.

How do you plan on doing the lettering?  One-off polygons?  Some variation of
Dave Blandston's 'bordered characters'?  Jim T's lettering?   I think Cousin
Ricky has also done some pretty neat font/prism work.

Design a new font from scratch?

Or are you going to go massive overkill and make some parameterized Bezier
spline prism macro that fits the letters to the curve but keeps a constant
stroke thickness?

- Great sketches, and I like seeing how the scene develops from the drawings.
You should check out Inheritance Machining on YT - he does some nice hand-drawn
layouts for his projects.
