I love all your works. Excuse me: Sorry can not achieve anything this and maybe next week. Just a few comments. My daughter Katrina's wedding, seems to be taking more energy than I thought for next week (family!). ($$$ know that!, but other things need some work) |

Re: Challenge 285: Aargh! Perspective!
A trick Challenge this week, but I'm gratified to see so many of you managed to do the job perfectly. There were some interesting issues over the position of the bench: the fact that there are legs only at the front suggests to me that the back side rests against the front of the lockers, with no gap in between. First in the locker room was maiden, with beautifully opened locker doors - and I like the way the floor in the interior is sunk below the air vents. i like the way the cubicle door has been closed, but are you sure the door should be so dark? I would have thought this was a lighting effect on the open door, and when it's closed it would be lit the same as the wall next to it. Love the miniature accordionist! He looks so familiar. Good opening and closing from LonnieK . Now if you'd only placed Elvis slightly higher up, you wouldn't have had to bother rebuilding the door handle! But your opened locker door should be on top of the bench - see first paragraph. The towel is a very good addition, making the open door much more realistic, and the reflection of Elvis is good. One word on colouring: don't leave any elements pure black and white - the shoes and shirt look artificial with no tint. A spruced-up room from tooquilos, with new cubicle doors all round and a neatly opened locker - although there's something a little awkward about the angle of the bottom of the door. The piled clothes work very well. A glorious animated version - the ingenuity with which you turned the figure around simply by taking his face off is brilliant! Very accomplished work from Carlo Alessandro Della Valle, with some excellent touches - the reflection of the woman in the mirror, the feet visible beneath the closed cubicle door, the angle of the bag - and, of course, that terrific mummy crawling out of the locker. I would refer you to my comments in the first paragraph about the position of the bench - but I see you've cunningly added an extra set of legs behind to move it forwards. Clever stuff! But don’t forget the reflection of the mummy. I don’t recognise the reference in Jonvee Leo's entry - the writing on the lockers reminds me of that Jack Nicholson movie. I like the stark, stylized feel to this one - it makes the scene very powerful. But how could the figure have slid down behind the bench? A good gag from brewell, with a convincingly opened locker door and a closed cubicle, the handle neatly hidden by Tiger's head. A couple of observations: the open door needs a reflection in the bench; and Tiger really needs to have another arm, or at least a hand, holding the pen from the other side. Neat work from Nick Curtain, with a perfect closed cubicle door and a well opened locker door - good reflection in the bench, and the reflection of the door handle in the locker next to it is just the sort of extra touch that really appeals to me. Only two things here: the shirt is behind the door frame, when I'd expect the frame to be flush with the interior of the locker; and isn't that football a bit small? And do footballs really still look like that? Hilarious work from Josephine Harvatt - the semi-naked athletes (and even a semi-naked philosopher, I believe) are perfect for this room. Some touches of genius: the hairdryer in the man's hand, the man sitting on the bench examining his foot, the Cheat-branded deodorant, the Rodin thinker in the cubicle - a perfect arrangement. And now we know exactly how old that joke is! Very neat work from gaoxiguo, who has opened and closed the doors well - and cleaned up the mess on the floor. I like the reflection of the door in the bench, but should the underside of the door (as reflected here) be so bright? And there should be a gap at the bottom of the cubicle door. Great doors from vibeke, with a neat reflection - and that half closed cubicle door is particularly convincing. Just a couple of perspective issues: the man sitting on the bench needs to be rotated clockwise a few degrees, so his knees follow the perspective angle of the bench - and he may be a little big. The angle of the poster inside the cubicle isn't quite there: the bottom edge slopes up a bit too much. And I'd knock back the saturation in both the right hand posters to make them blend in to the scene more. There's been a lot of hard work from laddition, and a lot of it has paid off: the new cubicle doors, with the rebuilt walls and translucent glass; the opened locker door (although watch the reflection in the bench). Both the men need shadows and perhaps reflections, and the shadow of the ball should be much further away: the ball is right above his leg, so the shadow should line up with his foot. High drama from ziiwow - what a wonderful scene! But where is the light coming from? The shadow of the woman suggests a low light source in the middle of the room, but I can not see one. Have you been having nightmares recently? A cartoon battle from Jeepy - looks like an unfair fight, one light sabre against two pistols! I like the symbol on the closed cubicle door, and the helmets on the bench. And it's that man again... A near-perfect entry from Deborah Morley, with some really neat touches: the consistency of the lighting on (and below) the closed cubicle door, the shoes beneath, the position of the woman opening the locker, the towel on the handle, and the bag inside - and I really like the damp footprints leading to the cubicle. Just add a reflection of the locker door in the bench and it's there. A handsome hunk from katew - frankly I'm surprised you weren't tempted to put my head on there... A good closed/open door combination, and the man fits well. But his contrast is much stronger than the room behind him, which makes him look a little unnatural here. Brighten his shadows, and he'll fit in better. Very fine movement from james, with a pair of neatly opening and closing doors - and a touching love scene at the end. Out of the closet, eh? But what, I wonder, could the skeletons be doing in the cubicles? It's not like they change their clothing, or anything... Powerful work from China, with a carefully constructed murder scene that's full of detail and intrigue. I like the bodies, and the blood spatters, and the opened and closed doors. The chalk outline needs to be lowered in opacity to look drawn on the floor; and the policeman's shadow is too strong - I am sure there is more than one light in this room. Outstanding work from tomiloi - that collection of reflections must have been hugely time consuming, and very difficult to do. And all the extra detail - the interior of the locker, with the boots; the inside of the door, with the new lock; the reflection of the underside of the bench; the filled toilet, with the taped sign above. Amazing attention to detail! A truly excellent piece of work. Well opened and closed doors from Emil, with plenty of extra action: the sportsman, the shirt on the handle, the posters, all work well. One or two points here: the locker door needs a reflection in the bench; the box of balls is too far away for the strong perspective viewpoint it has; and I don't know how your athlete can even stand up, let alone run, on feet like that! Well done, everyone. I know this must have been painful for a few of you. Tricky stuff, perspective! |

Re: Challenge 285: Aargh! Perspective!
Hello Steve, about the sportsman's feet: the reason why I placed there the box of balls was that I had to hide much more worse left feet. Thank you for your comment, you right about the perspective and of coarse the reflection. Next time I have to make it better. Have a nice weekend to all. _________________ There are most happy who have no story to tell. - Anthony Trollope. |

Re: Challenge 285: Aargh! Perspective!
Thanks Steve "the shirt is behind the door frame, when I'd expect the frame to be flush with the interior of the locker" - I figured that the interior would be one sheet of MDF and the frame looked thicker than that. "and isn't that football a bit small? And do footballs really still look like that" I tried to match the ball with the size of the shoe on the floor and, to be honest, I don't watch enough football to know. The image took me longer than intended because CS4 kept crashing when I used the Vanishing Point Filter. I've since learnt from reading various forums that there is a conflict between the filter and the 'Aero' themes in Windows 7. If you choose a standard theme, the filter works fine. This may be useful to other PC users. Go on, say it, - This wouldn't happen if you had a MAC! Thanks again Nick |

[/quoted] Thank you Steve, but I assure you, this is not an unfair fight, one light saber against two pistols, you're in the same side of the force. May the Force be with you for this weekend and beyond .... |
