Steve S Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ron,Thanks for letting me know. I've had this problem before and it seems to be intermittent and something to do with my website host's server. I'll let them know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d67 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hello SteveFunny, original and pheasant... euh pleasant slideshow I just find that the bright white background becomes quickly tiring for the eyes after a few seconds and the greyish guidelines are a bit hard to distinguish due to this flashy background.Anyway, thank you for sharing this experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Steve and Ken I am pleased to say that it worked for me this time.That took a lot of patience Steve. Did you work backward from the original image to produce your layers? It is certainly most effective, really enjoyable and food for thought. I must try it sometime but on something more simple.Ron [uK} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Patrick, I didn’t think about white becoming tiring on the eyes, it’s a very good point. I chose white because that’s the colour of my sketchpads. And the grey lines are the colour of my pencil. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to be so literal.Ron, I had the end result in mind before I started and loosely planned out a couple of significant “stages”. After that I worked on filling in the gaps. It took a while to do as I just did a bit here and there when felt like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Steve,What a cool idea! I've done sketches from a photograph before and then dissolved from them to the actual photographs in a slideshow, but never thought of showing the actual drawing of the sketches themselves. Very effective! There are lots of variations on this idea, too, that one could try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipper Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Steve:I have been lurking and viewing quite a few presentations over the years that I have been a member of this forum. I have seen many creative shows and this was one of the best I have viewed. Such creativity and talent. As I shared it with my wife (commercial artist) we both sit there at the end expecting it to fly off the screen.Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevans Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Steve, A brilliant show. What an original idea and the final result was very realistic. Ever since a guy in our club did a very humerous show based on the operation of a simulated piece of sofware designed to improve your appearance, I have been trying to think of similar ideas. A nice change from the "standard" picture show.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severn Bore Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Stevei agree with others' positive comments, but how did you produce this please? Was it done with an old-fashioned sketch pad and pencils and photographed at each stage? Or was it all drawn and painted using Photoshop? If the latter, I presume you used a graphics tablet rather than the mouse!RegardsAndrewPS The Art Club of which I am a member will certainly be interested in viewing this, if you have no objection.

Hemjr Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Steve, I have downloaded the Pheasant show three times and get a corrupted file each time. What can I be doing wrong? I am able to download other files. I would love to see the show.Thanks,Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took your advice and cleaned temp files out and the download was successful.Though it worth mentioning I use CCleaner, (a.k.a Crap Cleaner), for this purpose, one of the best little freeware programs available. Superior to Windows own Disk Cleanup, CCleaner cleans more thoroughly. After install, open CCleaner, highlight Cleaner section in left hand panel - click on Analyze - when finished this choose Run cleaner. You may be surprised at the amount of rubbish cluttering up space.Download from: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemjr Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Ken and Nathan,Thanks for the input. I downloaded ccleaner as you suggested, Nathan and downloaded again. I still get the corrupted file message when I try to open. Any other suggestions?Thanks,Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thanks for all the complimentary comments. Sorry for the downloading problems. I've been discussing this with my server provider who assured me that it would be dealt with as a priority item. For a while everything was looking good but obviously there are still problems to be ironed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemjr Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Ken, I cleaned the files again and tried the download. Got the same message and immediately tried again,with same results. I did this three times in a row with no success. I will give it time and try again in a couple of days. Thanks.Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
