That's great Michael. Now, can you slow the sky down to walking speed while keeping the rest galloping? |

Like the hands and the poo race. Agree, moving sky is better, just needs a reduction in speed. |

Re: Challenge 966: Hand ambulance - The Asylum
A tough one again this week - Oh - what to do with that? After a few attempts ended up here. (Where the challenge almost sent me - the Asylum.)  [/url] |

Loyd, very atomospheric. Ben, brilliant. "Englan declared" ? An insignificant typo. |

Re: Challenge 966: Hand ambulance
Well spotted Michael, I rely to much on spellcheck. Quite dark Loyd & Frank - that doll is quite scary (I was a part time doll doctor in an earlier life) |

Re: Challenge 966: Hand ambulance
First to treat the hand ambulance this week was GKB, with a really funny entry – those bloodied bandages really add a lot. I like the added chart and blood pouch; masterful raising of the bedclothes, too. Small point, but the medics don’t seem to have any feet. An ingenious rickshaw from DavidMac, the ambulance reconfigured for the purpose. I like the fact that it mimics a hand-tinted photograph, but the cart is too grey compared to the background; you need to add some of that sepia tone: 
Looks like tooquilos and GKB are on the same page – but it’s Addams Family time for the Wizard of Oz. Perfect angle and shading, and I like how you’ve replaced the items on the bier. A great story in the animated version – so many hands! I’ve never been to a dunny derby, but Ben Boardman clearly has. Extraordinary. I like how the ambulance has been pressed into service as a beer trolley – nice branding. And I have to say that for an Australian cricket fan, Ben, your Ashes entry shows you remarkably even-handed. Did you time playing Subbuteo as a kid? That’s what the pitch reminds me of. Splendid work, especially the refraction through the jar. Sports time for Ant Snell, with an injured England player on the ambulance. A curious expression on his face, and that’s a huge football! A trench setting from Mariner, looking very evocative in the mist. I see you’ve redrawn the bed and canopy – why, though? Don’t you think them looking so new is rather at odds with the battlefield? An extraordinary second entry, with a real sense of struggle as that cart is pushed uphill. The rebuilt surfaces make much more sense here. I enjoyed lwc's distance calculator, with its spinning dial and illuminated route. A curious roundabout route, though. I greatly enjoyed the second entry, with its dilapidated room setting: a really haunting image. The ambulance blends in perfectly there. Good work. Entertaining work from michael sinclair, with a beautifully animated ostrich and neatly spinning wheels. I like the way the shadow and cart both jiggle around. Having seen the image before the moving sky, though, I have to say the jump when the sky repeats is very disconcerting. Surely you could create a seamless sky that scrolls without the sudden break? It’s just a question of matching the texture, as you can see in my tutorial here. A nightmare vision from Frank, beautifully constructed with an array of grotesque elements that blend very neatly together. I like the Wes Anderson-style symmetry of the room. As my wife says about my sculptures – better out than in. |

Thanks Steve. It was such an awkward subject that my heart wasn't really in it. |

Re: Challenge 966: Hand ambulance
Thanks Steve. Had to look up Wes Anderson style - found it interesting. Here's a link to his style if others would like a look. Enjoy your vacation! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDMPMftpkW0

I was happy with the "dilapidated" version... thanks Steve! |
