Jaz Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Low angled evening sunlight, the shadows are cast by the cows themselves? Im wondering if I repaint part of the cows and replace some of the white with grey...whether I could emulate the picture....you would have to align the plastic cows ever afterwards to the sun....and the angle might prove difficult, and you could not check the time and re do at that time again, because of course through out the year the length of the day differers. You MIGHT just once get away with it in natural light. I could paint em photograph em....them paint them back to white. Hang on what about the other colour!!!! Oh hang it....too complicated. But I think a patch of long grass a la Westerhamstation might be in order in the not too distant future. Then theres the seed heads....a dab of glue and dust perhaps. .....OMG....even I am tempted to put an indecipherable....... Maybe another cow picture.... rmweb2633kalboro72 rmweb2634kalboro73 still I got one good picture rmweb2645kalboro74 young heifers learning to come in for milking. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 while i was taking the pictures of the cows....I had a quick update of some other areas...just to see how the light effected them Goathland Village the graveyard rmweb2636kalboro75 the local bad boy and his mate....apparently he is suspected of being the nefarious graffiti artist!!!! And you all thought it was a woman. rmweb2637kalboro76 The waterfall.....with the light in this direction it looks like the sun is shining thru the water spray... rmweb2638kalboro77 rmweb2639kalboro78 and the base of the waterfall....theres a gap behind the waterfall which bleeds light....but nicely lights up the 'water' 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 There's more AV pictures but whilst I was up there I received a PM from Anotheran.....he has been doggedly working his way thru the back posts of AV...braver man than me..... I had said such dedication brought its own rewards...and I would add him to the wall. He is a rugby supporter and as CWR has his beloved tea up...I decided if we have the Irish might as well have the Welsh......... So the Welsh flag is white over Green and a dragon, and his team are the Scarlets. I have space near my dragons eye....its green not red.....remind me of a story about the Welsh dragon and the Chinese dragon...... rmweb2646kalboro85 I just pencilled in the lines then using the brush went for it rmweb2647kalboro86 the top half of the flag rmweb2648kalboro87 the bottom half of the flag 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

@Jc Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looking back over the last few pages some great work both with the road and the cows. I don't have much time for catching up on AV these days as a result of long working hours and a lengthy commute. The newly introduced ban on using the work internet for personal use is also a pain. It used to be fun to spend my lunch hour browsing rmweb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted July 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2014 ...I received a PM from Anotheran... he has been doggedly working his way thru the back posts of AV... I'm still going... I've reached page 233, so not far to go now, as I should start encountering pages I've read before! As I've said in the PMs, I'm honoured to be asked to be a part of the wall. It's been a pleasure going through the thread, but this just makes my day! And then I thought in for a penny in for a pound... And having a small space in the left...I decided to add the Scarlets as well Fantastic. That's great work Jaz. I'm going to see if I can get this one to work as my avatar... Thank you so much for making me part of AV! Neil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukebox Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 You see cows, Jaz... I see rare steak! N.B. Jersey = dairy - cows, right? So not really steak on legs. You'd need Angus or Belted Galloway for that - I think... (Many, many, moons ago, I dated a diary farmers daughter for a few years...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not recognise me at a show from it, but it says me Thanks Jaz. I wonder how many avatars on RMWeb are your doing? Now for some sleep me thinks. Well... maybe a few more pages of AV first!

I wonder how many avatars on RMWeb are your doing? Now for some sleep me thinks. Well... maybe a few more pages of AV first! Neil It's really nice to see people like my work enough that they take them as avatars. The mini-me s were very popular...The britfarmer, ChrisN the mad scientist and Sasquatch all liked theirs so much they adopted them. My own tiger was taken from a 30 year old Esso advert copied from a Sunday paper supplement and used as the basis of an A3 picture that I have framed at home.Some of the graffiti is taking a good Avatar for reference so people have the original Avatar already. You were lucky you missed the clowns, it never occurred to me some people might be scared of them....I attributed one to Andy P and it turns out he has never liked them since childhood. I did offer to rescind his....wiping out the posts as it apparently gives him the creeps....but he kindly said it was ok to leave it.....I always PM people now and check they are up for being involved in any of stunts I am doing. And people often give me ideas of their own when asked. Al sent me a great picture of himself pixelated in the colours I used ....but I knew straight off reducing it would change the face too much, so he sent a real picture, and I mixed his original idea with the picture to come up with his. RSLR sent me two ideas and I used the ever popular Spock. I like to incorporate something of the person, their interests or general build or favourite clothes. ChrisN asked me to add the readybrek glow as he is in real life a scientist who has worked with radioactivity...so that was quite fitting. Both dt and marcus37 have come to stay.Thats why I added Marcus' wife and son. Having met dt and Jcredfer several times they were easy to do and J sent me a facial picture of mini driver to work from. I had one previously for her mini me. I did post him her original mini me and her dog, but it got lost in the post. We had hope to do a skit where her mini me wandered around Arboretum Valley then turned up home at his thread .....but the post lost them ....so the skit sank. I will redo her dog at some time. But won't be posting anything out again. We should meet again some time and I will give him the second mini me..... Brass0four changed his avatar so I could use his RedCrane which has significance for him. Castle is involved with the restoration of Penderric Castle at Didcot, he kindly sent me a picture of the real castle the loco is named for ....which I would have loved to do but the size would not have allowed much detail, and doing a loco on a Railway Forum ...I did not think I could do it justice at that size so used his Avatar which is cut down from the original engine. Anyway any artwork I do for rmwebbers is welcome to be used by those individuals.......I did put a picture up of some of the work on peoples threads. Some don't have threads so I can't pass them a copy. I should pop the rest up on those people who have 'homes' of their own. It's a nice process, you get a feel for people as well as you work on them.Luckily we have met several people in real life at shows. It is nice to meet people who you chat to. We are off to Wreccrail this week end and ess1uk is hoping to go as well. Which will be nice. Geographically he lives quite close. There are many people we have met as they exhibit at shows. We have met Newbryford / Mick several times and often joke on his thread.....some poor soul was concerned about me threatening his work with a rubber hammer... ......and I suppose when you think someone shot a football player after a commentator said he deserved to be shot (poor soul has to live with that) I should be more careful. I would be horrified if Micks work was damaged...he has been a great inspiration to us after chatting to him last year at Wrecrail. Anyway I am droning on now....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Jaz, on 31 Jul 2014 - 07:43, said: "Pen Friend's"....... poor litre 'offers' so uddderly adorable.....the farmers near us all doing cropping....so we rarely see field animals... although there are the small llamas up the other side of the village and some donkeys. Horses are the only 'stock' really in this area. Except for one small group of sheep.There are some rare pigs luckily a good 5 miles away of so. And thankfully no chickens....chicken poop reals worse than anything when put out on crops. We had our old house for sale AFTER they did that locally and we were right in the middle of a built up area...the pong was atrocious. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
