well i finished painting the horse,and have set the scene.
this is a take off of one of Lynn's scenes and using techniques i picked up from Lynn's blog and his various postings.
I will leave it till i get back and then see what else to do to it.
Nice job Frank! If you're open to some suggestions for the next one.....
Scenic material...The gravel or dirt is way out of scale with the figures and building. While it looks fine it would look a lot better if you would use a finer, more dirt like grain. Check out Model Railroad scenic material at a hobby shop ... you'll find it there.
With the hand coming through the door and the door partially open people are going to look inside and see....the figure? As we can't see in there you'll have to tell us if you have one in there. A suggestion here would be to have the door raised enough to allow the hand to come from beneath it. That would prevent anyone from trying to look inside and solve the problem of a missing figure but still carry the theme of the carving. Just a suggestion.
You did a great job on this scene and I really like the way you borrowed a little from someone else but took the time and effort to make it your own. Excellent!!
