Art Project - Dartmoor Pony.

[nocky2]

After walking up from New Bridge to Mel Tor, ( a fairly stiff climb for a 70 yr old with dodgy legs ;D ) I found this little pony all on her own. Weather wasn't too good on Dartmoor that day, so pic turned out a bit flat.



However, I've made some adjustments, and I think it looks not too bad. Let's see what you can do with it.

[phoney]

Looks much sharper nocky, good job. Thought I'd give him a bit of company.

[ken]

Crazy Horse is alive and well living on Dart Moor.

[phoney]

Dartmoor firewater heap strong.

[Pete]

Brilliant!!

[nocky2]

Great work and imagination guys, Crazy Horse falling off made me laugh. ;D

I did this with FotoSketcher.

[ken]

Heap strong firewater on Dartmoor, everything in heap.

[nocky2]

It's the Scrumpy that does it, dangerous stuff for the unwary. ;D

[ken]

Bloody graffiti gets everywhere these day.

[nocky2]

Drunk Indians! Graffiti!! You're gonna have The Dartmoor Preservation Society after you KC. ;D

Here's another one done in FotoSketcher.

[ken]

Wait till they see the house I'm building out of Mel Tor without planning permission Nocky.

I thought it was time I had a go.

[ken]

[Angelstardust]

My elephant has been breeding.

[nocky2]

Gordon Bennet!!! Elephants!!! I always thought Dartmoor Zoological Park specialized in big cats, Lions, Tigers,sort of thing, and now KC has gone and filled in the Dart Gorge. to make an Elephants waterhole. Where's it all going to end I ask myself ;D

Back to normality (sort of) with an old favourite effect.

[nocky2]

That looks quite an interesting effect Elvis, pity it's a bit on the small side, hard to make out details.

Just as a matter of interest, here's how I adjusted the pic just after it was taken. ;D

[ken]

You like your bright colours Nocky, I'm going with black and white

[nocky2]

LOL Ken, ;D, but it's usually Tornadoes that are whizzing about nowadays, chasing the poor Marines all over the Moor.

Here's a nice watercolour done before they built the Airport.

[ken]

I have got the The Dartmoor Preservation Society after me now Nocky. They say the new fangled hairy planes are scaring the elephants.

[elvisuk]

[nocky2]

I like that one Elvis, a nice sepia tint, and the flares are well placed. Good work.

Another sunset attempt, a bit more toned down this time.

[phoney]

[elvisuk]

[nocky2]

Nice one Elvis.

Dartmoor Winter. (sort of, now where did I put those Penguins. ;D)

[ken]

[ken]

That got rid of the penguins Nocky, sorry about the pony.

[Angelstardust]

[nocky2]

Those penguins get in every where KC, glad you got rid of them. Like the bear coming out of the frame, great effect.

That's really good Angel, how did you get such a perfect fit on the verticalization (is that a real word?) and angle join? I really like that, well done.

ps. Am i imagining things, or do the clouds really look like bears heads. ;D

[ken]

Earlier yesterday a friend sent me some pictures of toothy animals Nocky. When I needed a penguin cleaner I looked through them again. As soon as I saw that bear chasing a guy up a tree, I knew exactly what I could do with it. I simply mirrored and resized it and it fitted in just right. It turned out quite effective with very little work.
