The Walking Church - wip update NOV 20

[Joey-b]

here's so far

i sketched this up, im pretty pleased with the sketch

this is where it goes all wrong,this is the progress so far, im kinda starting to dislike it dont ask me why, tell me why.
its a priest travelling on his Gnorhin, this creature is so freakin big it can even carry the priests church , now aint that nice hehe:donk:

update scroll down plz

[armando]

Conceptually I don't get it, the type of church doesn't match the type of animal. How could one guy drive such a huge animal with reins, he'd get thrown over a mountain. The church would collapse, it's attached to the animal like a belt.

[ukanfoff]

church is small for that person..

[Joey-b]

back to the drawing boards, thx guys

[R35P3CT]

hey, either way no matter whats said, conceptually or otherwise i think the drawing/picture is great. personally i like the idea, church or man need to be resized like previously said. but other then that i like it. .....that and who cares if he's 1 man drivin that thing, its not reality nor does have to be. keep it up dude i wanna see it if u change it

[Joey-b]

new update! i enlarged the church door a bit, and made the tower shorter...
the guy on it needs to be a bit smaller still.. ll do that later

so far this, the bg is just an indication of what i should be

[robrov21]

Barring any comments on realism..ie, physics or otherwise, it is absolutely great. I think comments on realism to the degree that the church would collapse, etc are irrelevant as it is a whimsical, fantasy piece. The only comment I have is that the church appears to be leaning towards us a little.
As for the size relation of the guy and the church, either it's a another whismical interpretation or he's too big.

Nice work, look forward to seeing the background tightened up.

I'm a bit confused about the horns or tusks of the beast. It appears that its head is slightly tilted toward us, which means that the back tusk needs to be farther out than the one closest to us. Hopefully that made sense. If not, I'll clarify.

[Joey-b]

robrov21 - thx man.. yeah the guy will be fixed!

sowens2008 - hmm i c what u mean, but his head is turned to the viewer a bit..

here is a new update... to much snow?

[Joey-b]

and... i was thinking, should i cut a piece off?? here is what i mean

[robrov21]

Definetely not too much snow, love it. The closer cropped one is better too.
Looking good.

[Joey-b]

robrov - okey ill go with that thx

[Joey-b]

gettin there closely .. more details added
and cropped it

[robrov21]

Looking good. I am a wee bit concerned about the slight skew to warms though. If ever there were a scene that called for cool tones, this would be it. but with that said, had I never seen the cooler first one, this may be fine.

What is that angular patch behind his front legs?

Good stuff!

[font9a]

obfuscation doesn't make it any stronger.

[Joey-b]

robrov 21 - the cooler one, scroll up :) angular patch? whats that :S.. soz bad english

font9a - wtf is obfuscation? ow and thx for one of ur 5 posts in 2 years hehe

[robrov21]

I was speaking of this angular patch. And yeah, wtf is Obsfication?

[jadefoodog]

man thats so awsome and i also want to know wtf Obsfication is

[Joey-b]

robrov - fixed it!

Nice work man, turned out good.

BTW, here's the definition, I looked it up:

ob·fus·cat·ed , ob·fus·cat·ing , ob·fus·cates
To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand: "A great effort was made . . . to obscure or obfuscate the truth" (Robert Conquest).
To render indistinct or dim; darken: The fog obfuscated the shore. JadeFoodDog : Why did you feel the need to dig into the thesaurus to describe a snow storm? Lol.

[Joey-b]

you mean font9a ;)

thx for looking it up .. well i dont agree btw :)

[robrov21]

Font9a...ooohhh, woops, I suck. Sorry JadeFoodDog.

I don't agree niether...

note on the church size - my wife and I got married in a tiny chapel on a cliff in Rafina Greece, the church size to person relationship was about teh same as in this image (we were married outside). maybe if the design of the church was a littel different ( i realize you've moved on) thne it would look a little more natural. here's a picture, you have to crouch to get in the door.

overall I really like the piece. I like the idea of teh missionary bringing the church to the people.

[Joey-b]

hmm yeah i moved on,altough i do realize its full of mistakes
sweet lil church btw haha
glad u like the piece
