Re: Challenge 545: Crutchley's mailbox

A mini-pig home from Min - and it works rather well. I like the angle on the one coming out of the hatch, which is very convincing. For the one looking out of the window: try darkening the rear end, to make it look more like it's indoors.

Looks much better with the darkened rear. Thanks for the tip Steve

I don't know what Mac your using. If it is a reasonably powerful version you could consider a virtual Windows via Boot Camp (fastest running but awkward - needs reboot in and out of windows) or a via a virtual environment inside OS X itself using software. I use VMware Fusion to run Windows alongside OS X. It works perfectly. I can have OS X and Windows running simultaneously and cut and paste seamlessly between them. I can even have open windows from the two systems side by side on the same desktop. I don't use it very often but there are a few Windows apps (Corel DRAW for example) that make it worthwhile.

Good point. I saw them as posed for a snap (with the Young Master far too distracted by his super toy to bother to pose). I really didn't get into things this week. Too occupied exploring Affinity perhaps?

An entertaining image from srawland, with much carousing both inside and out. A I like the girls' shadow cast by the moon, but the lighting on them contradicts this... however, more than made up for by the empty beer cans, and especially the subtle urine stream on the building and the ground. Very nice work.

Thank you, Steve. I had originally put the shadow in front of the girls, but then thought you'd ding me for the moon's position, and anyway, it looked much better from the back.

I had thought originally to have a gent looking at the girls but the men I found with their backs turned were all considerably older and would have looked really out of place, except for this one image... But what was he doing with his left hand? I never got why you guys insist on peeing on walls. What are you doing, marking territory?

Thank you Steve. Even though I cloned in differences I really should of gotten a whole new background. I was only going to use that image for a few seconds in the video but I ended up uploading it in error for the static image. The night scene was the intended choice
