jpachl Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) After all the discussions on artists inspired by model railways and vice versa, here is the result of a collaboration between an artist and a railway modeller:. Freight train passing by Jörn Pachl, auf Flickr For the TT scale model scene in the foreground, I kitbashed the interlocking tower using a German prototype kit from Auhagen. It does now hardly resemble the original model. The background picture was provided by virtual reality artist Anthemios who is well-known for edited in-game screenshots. This picture is a cutout of a bigger screenshot from a Beta version of the game 'The Division'. Here is a link to the original picture on the Flickr page of Anthemios: flic.kr/p/DBwn4D Joern Edited February 12, 2016 by jpachl 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi, I think it looks great, very well done. I think art in railway modelling is a good idea, I am hopefully going to do my own backscene which I will sketch out first then paint it. Jerry.

rue_d_etropal Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Good to mix art with modelling, but railway modelling is itself art, just slightly different to what some think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Here is another piece of collaboration with virtual reality artist Anthemios. The foreground is a heavily rendered photo of a model scene in TT scale (1:120). For the background picture, I used a screenshot Anthemios took from the video game 'Mad Max'.

The upper picture on the right shows the photo how it came out of the camera. The lower picture on the right is the final result.

jpachl Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) In the meantime, I finished another piece. It's again a collaboration with Anthemios. The background picture is a screenshot from the computer game 'Fallout 4'.

jpachl Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Just opened the 2017 photo season by a picture that also fits into this category. The background picture is again a screenshot by Anthemios from the computer game Fallout 4.

Max Legroom Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think the combination of photo backscenes and micro layouts has massive potential that has yet to be fully realised. With decent software to produce the backscenes and low-relief buildings, and a generic trackplan it should be relatively straightforward to change location and create loads of atmosphere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Great pics. At first glance, I thought they were photo backgrounds. Stunning artwork and nice modelling too. I like adding photo backgrounds to pics of my small layouts. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 @Alcaman Looks great! Can hardly tell, where the layout ends and the background picture begins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Here are two more outcomes from my collaboration with Anthemios. The background pictures are from the computer games 'Mafia III' and 'Crisis III'.

jpachl Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 In the meantime, I finished another piece. It's again a collaboration with Anthemios. The background picture is a screenshot from the computer game 'Fallout 4'. In another forum, this photo got a critical comment because of the appearance of the brick wall below the model train. Now, in a remastered version of that picture, I reworked this wall area to make it look more realistic. Also, this is my first picture in which I applied a filter from the new Flickr editor.

Marly51 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) This collaboration is great! My illustrator daughter may collaborate with me on some small dioramas, but ours will possibly be more rural. Good to see artistic backdrops which can often be more flexible in interpretation.

jpachl Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 @Marly51 You are happy to have an illustrator in your family. Today, the biggest problem for collaboration with artists is the copyright issue. In case you have nobody on hand, you need to find somebody willing to grant you right for the use of his/her work.

Marly51 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @Marly51 You are happy to have an illustrator in your family. Today, the biggest problem for collaboration with artists is the copyright issue. In case you have nobody on hand, you need to find somebody willing to grant you right for the use of his/her work. Yes, I am very aware of copyright issues. My daughter watermarks her digital illustration work, but likes to keep moving forward developing her style. Clients often purchase the copyright for commercial work, but there is always the option where a client pays for a one-of use of an image. I have generally found that people are very generous and happy for an image to be used for non commercial or community projects, so long as the appropriate permission has been obtained and credits are in place.

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello Joern, This is a fascinating thread, and some intriguinig scenes. Thanks for posting. While the original was good, I think your improvements to the brickwork in the foreground of one of the photos definitely improved it. cheers Ben A.

jpachl Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 In the meantime, another artist, in-game photographer Xanvast (https://www.flickr.com/photos/xanvast/), granted me the right to use his screenshots for my railway pictures. Here is the first outcome, again based on a screenshot from 'Homefront: The Revolution'.
