#2

Hi everyone,

Excuse my late entry but I didn’t know about this challenge! Another fun topic.

For this challenge I decided to put a spin on a legend of the wild west. It’s going to be an old Billy the Kid making his getaway on a cool looking mechanical horse with steam coming out of the nostrils.

Should be good… as long as it’s finished on time :slight_smile:

Good luck to everyone! I see some great work has already been done. I have some serious catching up to do.

Here’s a little update since yesterday. I was thinking of having steam coming out of the nostrils of the horse. Should look pretty cool… we’ll see tomorrow.

adrephil - thanks for the suggestion Karisa! I went a different direction because I already had a picture of Billy the Kid in my head.

Here’s a background idea I like a bit better…

#14

Looking great man! I like where you’re going with the new background and the cool tones you’re introducing… coming along nicely.

Hi Bobby,
I´m really glad you entered the challenge. Great to see you here! This is going to be another awesome piece, full of energy. I love the faces of both the cowboy and the horse. Just one suggestion: the steam coming out of the horse nostrils is a great addition but I think it could be cooler if it would comes out straight to the front as a steam jet, with more pressure due to the race effort.
Can´t wait to see more! Good luck!

#16

Had some time to work on the piece today.

Bobby - Looking fabulous. You have a real ability to introduce a feeling of reality into what is fundamentally a cartoon image. Your lighting is excellent. :slight_smile:
