I've really enjoyed answering people's questions in response to my posts lately. The sense of community here is one I wasn't really expecting - but I'm loving it. One benefit is that it's making me think about aspects of the Weird-Field World that I haven't really given much thought to yet. 

With that in mind I thought I'd do a Question and answer session. You can ask me anything in the comments and I'll answer. Questions can be either about the Weird-Field World, or about me and my process, background etc. Whatever you like really.

Ask away.

Do you other spacecraft designs fit into this same timeline? Are they the not-weird ships?

Yep. Some of the less advanced looking spaceships will definitely fit in to WFW pre-message. I might have to retcon some of the back story - I think I overdid the exploration / colonisation of the solar system.

Did you build the WF mythology around the drawings, or vice-versa?

It started just as a thought - what would a spaceship look like if it didn't have any standard form of propulsion? That quickly formed the idea of a ship manipulating exotic fields and strange physics to grip on to another dimension or aspect of space-time to provide some kind of traction. That idea was with me for a while before I drew anything at all, and the WFW was born really quite quickly as soon as I started getting the spaceship forms down on paper.
