Worked for me. Love the way the guy gets dragged off on the back of the boar.  |

Re: Challenge 344: L'addition's addition
What a lot of great later images and those before, Thanks Sophie, he is amazing and was just one of the strange men and women, children .. and dogs... for the closing Sunday. James immutable!..(my comments broken). Great blending Michael (I'm getting a bit worried you are keeping to brief, I'll be exposed as the most off brief  ).
Emil, that's great creative idea and result you managed to get an entry in. (Always appreciated, but for me my quality goes down unless lucky, safe) Tomasz ->Sutex, great to see your new Title. Congratulations! And the image creative, though I think my glasses might be giving me double vision (excepting don't use them to read )
Oh! the snow is back François, looks great to me

Re: Challenge 344: L'addition's addition
First to customise Véro's new home this week was munchonu, with a rather extraordinary S&M image. A great use of perspective, with the house correctly interpreted and placed at the top of a rising path: but the shadows are too strong for this sort of light. A great boar, but just of the sake of composition InDesign have flipped it the other way, so its snout points back to the centre of the image. Great work integrating the house into the forest, though. A rather charming scene from Vibeke, with roses around the balcony, a picnic on the lawn and a rather tasty vintage car in the garage. If it's warm enough for a picnic, though, isn't Véro's daughter a little overdressed? And I am going to have to take you to task on your perspective: that water line is far, far too high! See below. A classical makeover from Josephine Harvatt, and isn't it splendid! Although losing a window for a clock may not be everyone's idea of a great view. I like the ionic columns, too, but I'd have placed another one on the far right for extra security. A refit of those old wooden boards from Ben Mills, who has also straightened up the house for a more head-on view. I agree, a door onto the balcony is much better than just a window. Not sure about the colour of the garage, though - won't that frighten the boars? An oversized dog kennel from zombie67 - and it does work rather well, especially for the labrador (?) at the bottom, and the, er, little rat-like thing upstairs (I really don't know much about dogs). But does the ground disappear too sharply into darkness? A more gradual fade would be more convincing here, I think. Looks like Brewell's been at the psilocybin again... a fantasy incarnation that does, indeed, resemble a fly agaric mushroom. I like the overall tone and the repainted balcony: is that a painted screen downstairs? A complete makeover from LonnieK, and rather magnificent it is too: the wood may look a little like plastic, and the stone cladding isn't to everyone's taste, but the overall feel is dazzling. I like the way the trees come in front of the building, and I'm sure I recognise that ivy. Are the reflections just too strong, though? A wealth of magnificence from tooquilos, whose still image shows the house incorporated into an entire classical building - complete with flag and carved name on the pediment. A truly extraordinary animated version, with the little red fork-lift truck traversing many architectural forms: I like the way it disappears behind the columns of the Taj Mahal, and bounces over the crenellations later on... and ending up with Sydney Opera House is the natural choice. An incredible amount of work, Anna, with some beautiful scenes. Clever work from gaoxiguo, who has taken out the ground floor to make a path into the forest. Very good blending, and a great idea. Good work! A rather beautiful suburban setting from Sophie, who has nestled the house right into the forest - but tamed it with a new cobbled road and lawn in front. Something slightly odd going on with all those shadows, but I like the dappling effect! A very convincing scene. A neat tidy-up (and some deforestation) from puffin31939, with well-varnished wood, some new grass and a rather good dog. That plant growing over the left side seems a little over-enthusiastic, though, and could it do with some way of reaching the ground? The shadows are indeed a bit dodgy, as you suspected, and that's really because they're too strong for the overcast day on which the photo was taken. The main issue, though, is the height of the horizon - see below. A magnificently neat image from Niavlys1980, who has performed a miraculous tidying-up of the building, moved it to a splendid location, and even turned the fork-lift truck into something altogether more beautiful. A stunning, immaculate piece of work, Sylvain: je croix que Véro sera vraiment content! A very enthusiastic balcony from katew, with new woodwork and a new window. A very appropriate pair of garage doors, and I especially like the path that's been driven though - a great idea. A fine new lawn, too. Good work, Kate. I liked michael sinclair's idea of perching the house on top of a mountain - that's one way of coping with the low perspective viewpoint! And it does fit rather well in that space. Of course, moving it higher up the mountain, as in the second entry, is one possibility - but if you're going to do this, don't you need to adjust the lighting as well? A rather glorious third entry - so is the building now a boathouse? A homage to the international cycling week from Jota120, which of course explains the wacky cyclists in the scene - although I'm not sure about the provenance of the buddha in the upstairs window. And tell me: how do the cyclists get from the back to the front? Through the flower bed? A good remodelling of the house, with a convincing new downstairs door and blind. Some of your boars seem to have turned into sheep, Trevor. A tasteful entry from laddition herself, who has pushed the house deeper into the forest. Good new woodwork, extra windows, and some flower boxes on the balcony. Mais qui est le garçon devant la maison? Ton fils, peut-etre? It looks like emanuelefrau has concentrated on the hunting theme - a shame, since the boar are so small. And are all yours joined at the hip? Or just huddled together? An outstanding animation from James, which has the hunter sneaking around the back of the building before poking his gun through the door... having shot the boar he walks out nonchalantly, only to be overturned by one charing boar and ending up on the back of a second. It's an extraordinary piece of timing, with plenty of extra detail - the spinning rifle, the moving figure of Véro's daughter on the balcony, the new figure in the window, the shadows... amazing! An excellent moving-in scene from Marty, with the fork-lift truck pressed into service to bring in a crate of art materials. I like the added dog in the jacuzzi! The ivy is a nice addition, but are the lines just too neat? I think a little more randomness of width is needed, perhaps with a sense of the ivy dripping down more. An extremely dark entry from Emil, so much so that I had to brighten it in Photoshop to see it clearly. An intriguing Western scene, and I like the way the man's eyes are the only part of him we can see: but do allow a little more brightness for web viewing! A nicely designed postcard from sutex, with wild flowers neatly framing the house - a very good job. But if the postcard is casting such a strong shadow to the right hand side, shouldn't the croissant be casting a stronger one? A glorious ski lodge from Garfield72, with plenty of new woodwork. The snow on the roof should be the same colour as the snow on the ground, though! And are you sure wild boar hop like that? Shouldn't the footprints be more evenly spaced, rather than being in pairs? A great idea, though, very well achieved. ++++++++++++++++ A few of you had difficulty with the perspective on this one (I know, it always comes down to perspective). We can work out the perspective of the scene by drawing vanishing lines from the edges of the roof and balcony (1). Where they cross, we can draw in the horizon (2). If we place the horizon high in the scene it looks wrong (3); but if we place it on the line we just discovered, the whole scene makes much more sense (4).  |
