Challenge 806: The banqueting suite
The Bell Hotel in Mildenhall is closed, of course, along with the rest of the hospitality sector. But this might be a good opportunity for some remodelling; the side-street entrance to its Conference and Banqueting Suite looks disappointingly dismal; there's hardly a warm welcome here. Without demolishing the building, can you give this entrance some sense of grandeur and ceremony? High res is here. |

Re: Challenge 806: The banqueting suite
Hi all, just a quick explanatory note as to why I have not been participating the last few weeks. I have been keeping a keen eye on everyone’s great entries, however. For those of you who attended last year’s Xmas do I did mention hoping to buy a renovation project house. Well I did and while the rest of the world was panic buying toilet rolls, I was panic buying plaster, skirting boards and kitchens. I have been working on the project 7 days a week and when I get home, I can’t usually muster the strength to keep my eyes open, let alone start a Friday Challenge. Steve when you said to me “Have you got the energy to do something like that?” you were closer to the truth than I thought! Anyway I am now on the final hurdle and hope to be back to the forum soon. |

Re: Challenge 806: The banqueting suite
This is really not up to my usual standards. But I'd spent a couple of hours on it before I realised it was all going pear shaped, so I am posting anyway. This is a definite case of architectural identity crisis! By the way, the forum seems to be working again, I am not having to do a page refresh any longer. My posts are appearing as they should ......... at least I think so ........... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

http://vimeo.com/419556572 I didn't think I would be able to do this challenge. I looked at it, blankly, for ages. Then bit by bit, I think, it all came together. David, I love how you have done this. Im just wondering - if you applied a marble texture over it.... _________________ Wicked Witch of the West:I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too! |

I just tried it, and I am still forced to use 'refresh'. |

Me too. I got 'straight through' a couple of times but its seems to be misbehaving again. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 806: The banqueting suite
This is very little better than it's predecessor and every bit as silly. So am stopping here with this week ......... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 806: The banqueting suite
Thanks David... I had to rework the overall original scale, but it seems to work okay. |

Yes, it's added a lot more to the texture, David. _________________ Wicked Witch of the West:I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too! |
