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.


This simply means that there's already a file with the same name on the server. Rename your entry - I recommend adding your name or initials to make it unique - and it should work fine.

Re: Challenge 318: The horse has bolted
This is what I came up with, which is my first friday challenge attempt.
I'll say, this photo manipilation thing is interesting and challenging but its also sweet like honey.

Less I forget, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, pardon me. How can I blend artwork with different photos to make it look clean as if they are real?

Thanks
Kuham

...and finally, a late entry - but a first Friday Challenge - from Kuham. I like the characters, and the new background works very well. But - watch your perspective! The girl in the front has a head that's in line with the bottom of the stable roof. The guys in the back should also have their heads more or less in line with this roof, but they're nearly twice the size!

Love Emil's entry - I am a sucker for sepia!

Thanks Steve - the shadow could have done with a little blur - it was the original shadow tho btw

Thank you Steve for your comments. I have moved up a little bit the front pair and you right it looks better.

Josephine, I remember on your great art work which inspired me. Do you remembered your The mummy returns work? Great graphic design.

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.



My brain refuses to see the walkway as flat and the stable on the same level as the grass. Attached is the way I saw the scene - the red line is the path a horse would take walking straight out of the stable, down the sloping walkway and across the grass. What's going on here? I justified the slope as a method of controlling water flow away from the stalls.

Bruce, I'm with you on that point and saw it the same way, hence placing the horses lower than that placed in the stable.

Okay, Nick. We'll wait for the last word from the photographer.

Re: Challenge 318: The horse has bolted
Thanks again Steve,
On the first "?": I also thought the 2nd horse was a tad large. I'd created a second variant the next day. I liked the size of the horse, so just made the stable a tad larger, as you do! I did not post it as seemed a bit too forum noisy on my part and sort of preferred the first one even though a bit "wrong". Also, I had and kept a little motion on blur stable, but not the horse's head, as it/she/he was following the motion.
"Star Wars", never got that association, thats funny

I like the opened half door, but are its wood planks converging towards the bottom? Should they be?


I appreciate that you take the time to really look at these images. The wood planks are indeed converging because I cut them out of the wall and rotated it. I made an attempt to make it so it's not flat against the wall and failed to recognize the strong perspective lines rotated as well. A simple skew will fix the problem.
