Jota ! You are blinding me with science The shadow was the original shadow on a separate layer - just made transparent to allow the new background to show through. _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Challenge 318: The horse has bolted
More great entries .. I like the rocking-horse idea Zapat. Great work again James  .
(Lonnie, just in case this has no reference to your work which is always great... I just have different ideas). I think Trevor will know the "#3" , how to overtake (pass) a car
Last one from me .... this week you'll be pleased to know

Re: Challenge 318: The horse has bolted
A rather beautifully cleaned-up stable from tooquilos kicked off this week's entries, with remarkably well house-trained horses. A charming love story in the animated version. A couple of points here: the horses really should get larger as they come towards the camera; and wouldn't it be good if the sun set during the final sequence? I like tomiloi's treatment of the stable buildings - very nearly done. The horses are completely convincing in the way they blend into the blackness inside, and I like the zebra! Good work. A very convincing scene from Ben Mills, with a straw-covered ground and some great hunting elements. A couple of things about the perspective, though, Ben: the opened stable half door is flat against the wall, so the bottom edge should really match the lines in the wood planks behind it. And that wheelbarrow appears to be floating in the air: it's so close to the camera that we should be looking down on it more. Joan of Arc via Star Wars from Jota120 - all that lance needs is a light inside and it will be a perfect Darth Vader match for the funky black leather armour. A great cutout job, though, and I like the horse looking out of the stable - but is it a touch too large? I really like the drama and action in the second entry - and what a fabulous wrecked car that is! Perfect shading and colour matching, the whole scene works perfectly. A fine scene of decay from Deborah Morley, whose stable has been made beautifully decrepit. A fantastic section of tile-free roof, and the overall sense of dilapidation works perfectly. Good to see a couple of fullmontage elements creeping in there, too! Excellent work. Not entirely sure why michael sinclair has added an Eiffel Tower to the scene, but I like the jiggling horsemen. There's a slight sense of their helmet plumes flapping in the breeze here, which gives it an extra sense of motion: a convincing effect. A strong entry from Stefano Giacomuzzi, pictorial rendering of Animal Farm. Fantastic detail here, with perfect writing on the wall and a great sense of drama. The shadows are the only slightly awkward part: they should all be the same size, relative to the animal that's casting them. Otherwise - very good entry. A leap of imagination from LonnieK, whose Mustang can be parked in that remarkably well converted garage. I particularly like the way the interior has been constructed, with the low stable wall on the left. I see your stable boy has had an upgrade, too. Good perspective matching from brewell, precisely following the perspective of the scene: look how the jockeys' heads all line up with the roof line. I like the opened half door, but are its wood planks converging towards the bottom? Should they be? The suggestion of a horse inside is a nice touch, but remember it should be the same height as the horses outside - there are never steps in stables. Nice work from Nick Curtain, whose depiction of the Queen and Ronald Reagan appears as a fine historical document. Good work on what must have been a tricky set of shadows - but do make sure the shadows of the legs all meet the hooves! Sheer desperation or not, there's a fine, warm, sunny feeling to Josephine Harvatt's entry. My only problem, really, is with the shadow - altogether a bit hard-edged and rather emaciated, don't you think? A charming scene from Carlo Alessandro Della Valle, with a lot of great extra touches - like the pile of manure, the shadow reaching inside the opened doors. The only problem here is that the horses are too far down in the scene: this close, the should be a lot higher, or even a little larger. Is that a Friis family outing in vibeke's entry? A fine collection of horses! Have to take you to task on the perspective, though. I was standing on the ground when I took this photo (as evidenced by the angles of the wood siding on the building). So the woman in the foreground should tower over me, and the girl behind and to her left needs to be rather lower down. The man inside the stable is taller than the woman on the horse - but he's standing on the ground! And the ground inside the stable must be the same level as the ground outside. Tricky stuff, perspective! A ghostly, rather haunting scene from zapat, with a rather eerie rocking horse (and a flying Pegasus). I like the subdued, cool colours used here, and the way they match the knocked-back colours of the rocking horse: a very emotive piece of work. Extraordinary animal movement, once again, from james: although I'd like the horses to wander in rather more slowly, so I can study the leg movement in more detail. I'm always amazed at the naturalism you can get into your animated GIFs, James. Very fine work. A terrific old postcard from Emil, a Wild West scene with cowboys branding a steer (it's either that or they're playing shuffleboard). I am going to have to question your perspective, though: the pair in the front look a little low compared to those behind. But I really like the Wanted poster, and the decayed edges and foxing on the card - very neat work. As several of you have said - fine work all round. |

Thanks Steve, the perspective again, one of these days I might get it right. Yes it is the Friis family at large, about 35 years ago. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

Re: Challenge 318: The horse has bolted
Take a look at the front right (starboard? offside) leg of the Queen's horse... the shadow doesn't meet it in the right place. |

Thank you so much Steve.... I keep making the same mistake about "proportions".... I made the same mistake with the chef when we "dressed" tripes...  |

Hello Steve, I was trying to post my challenge for this week, but it keep saying "the file you'r trying to load is already on this server". What those this mean, and how can I send my post. Thanks Kuham |
