Re: Challenge 954: The coronation coach
Fun entries this week but the car wash tops them. But then again, I do love the steampunk carriage

Great work everybody particularly Mariner and Loyd--the two front runners. |

Re: Challenge 954: The coronation coach
First to step into the royal coach was lwc, with an explosive transformation. I like the detail of the coach decal on the door, and the crown on the front. And the angle match is good. I was very entertained by the gold flying saucer – very cute. I like the view from Parliament Hill, with the subtle background movement, although your perspective is seriously off when it comes to the horizon level. I enjoyed the steampunk entry, too, with its intricate rotations, although I did wonder if the whole thing should roll on and off. GKB's enormous potholes are remarkably convincing, and the solution – huge tyres – absolutely compelling. The reflection in the right hand pothole is a nice touch, although I’m not sure that we should be able to see reflected sky above it. Good stuff. Museum time for Mariner, and I see Wikipedia has come to your aid with the signs. It’s a remarkably good fit, the gilt matching the picture frames. George III seems a little out of place there, though – he’s too bright, and his shading needs to match the lighting direction on the coach. Also, your plinth really needs some texture to stop it looking like plastic; and I find softening the hard edges with a small highlight always adds to the sense of it being a real object: 
The car wash entry is glorious, the horses a perfect match for the coach, even if they do cast a curiously elliptical shadow. Splendid work from Josephine Harvatt, and I really like the idea of Chuck as a used car salesman. Perfect choice of bodies, done with great subtlety. A remarkable conversion from michael sinclair, who’s added elements of the state coach to a pink-and-gold roller that even Lady Penelope would find in poor taste. Boris at the wheel, though? Why? And that’s a remarkably business-oriented crowd. A subsea Greek ruin from tooquilos, with the coach subsumed by what appears to be a giant snail shell. I like the motion in the animated version, although there’s a curious scale mismatch when Neptune appears behind the carriage. The whale movement is splendid. Frank's drone coach really builds up expectation as we fly into London – and I like how it flies in, complete with Chas and Camilla inside. Producing smoke, though? Couldn’t they have spring for an electric coach? Very entertaining. |

Re: Challenge 954: The coronation coach
Thank you Steve for taking time to do a correction. I agree with everything you say about the museum entry. It was just laziness on my part which left it in a slightly unfinished state. I was hoping to get away with the horses eliptical shadow. Maybe next time!  |

Re: Challenge 954: The coronation coach
"Perspective?"... never gave it a thought. I was mainly trying experiments in creating a parallax view.
Thought about it, but then would lose the transparency of the 'windscreen', and I was just too lazy to animate the wheels. Many thanks Steve, another fun challenge. |

Cheers Steve - I was lucky to have a good choice of profiles of both Chazzer and Sunak _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |
