Thanks Loyd and dwindt - I'm starting to think we have a few beer lovers on the Forum.  |

Well now Frank, as a Belgian and Brit, I sadly feel compelled to leave Miller Lite firmly out of that particular enthusiasm!  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

What's wrong with Miller Lite? It tastes great and it's less filling, or at least that's what the commercials claim.

Re: Challenge 749: Guess the weight of the jockey
There's a big conference of beer producers. At the end of the day, the presidents of all beer companies decide to have a drink in a bar. The president of Budweiser orders a Bud, the president of Miller orders a Miller Lite, Adolph Coors orders a Coors, and the list goes on. Then the waitress asks Arthur Guinness what he wants to drink, and much to everybody's amazement, Mr. Guinness orders a Coke! "Why don't you order a Guinness?" his colleagues ask. "Naah. If you guys won't drink beer, then neither will I." _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thanks Sara, although I have never had Miller Lite (that I can remember) David, I hope I didn't start a beer war. I used to be a draught beer man when I frequented the tavern. |

I need a Castle larger right now. Just finished my picture and it was a lot of work. Not going to do one of those in a hurry...I think.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Awesome dwindt, I love steampunk! You may need more than one beer to recover from all that effort. Excellent work! |

Re: Challenge 749: Guess the weight of the jockey
Thanks Lwc. I think it's the 2nd steampunk picture that I've ever done. I did cheat. My wife is terribly ill and I poured hours into it. My hiding place when i'm stressed. I must confess that I sang "chitty chitty bang bang" until I was more than sick of it...and I only know the chorus. Very nice animation by the way and nicely blendered. Works well together. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 749: Guess the weight of the jockey
Thank you David. I often think of you when I Photoshop. especially when blurring the edges of any masked items in the picture, to soften the edge pixelation and to make it blend with the rest of the image. A tedious task but well worth the effort. This image had 99 layers, so yes; tedious. I remember an image you did, if I remember correctly, that had over 250 layers. It had a fairy and I think, gnomes in the fore ground. A full moon rising over pines trees alongside a lake. You said fairies wasn't your thing but that picture was amazing. The depth in the atmospheric perspective that you got with that forest was phenomenal. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Thanks Frank. Now you see what your man cave beer chair has done to me. I've talked a hind leg off a donkey...or from out under Lwc's horse weighing in. I love the way he got the horse to sit. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

AAAaaahhhhh! Thank you Tooquilos. Just when I managed to shake the song...lol. Lovely animation. I know a whole lot of work goes into to them. I tried it once...Lovely modeling. What did you model it in? _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 749: Guess the weight of the jockey
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Very nice Anna, the modeling is always fun to see. While I was making the animation, I was distracted by a beer discussion and made this for fun before finishing the animation. It is non-animated, sans the foreground tree limbs, the horse pesade and the bird. For the record I last had a beer (Bud Light) two years ago at the golf course...

Re: Challenge 749: Guess the weight of the jockey
Strangely for all my adopted second nationality I am not a beer drinker either. I am very, very definitely tempted from time to time by the small very powerful trappist beers and by similar beers when I visit my son in Bavaria, and there are occasions when nothing else will do ....... but the day to day lagers leave me quite without temptation. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Unfortunately, I only have time for a quick still. I probably won't have time for animations, or at least not well edited animations, for at least the next 6 weeks.  _________________ I'm still learning. |
