Default DREAM WINDOW----'A Christmas Story' tribute.

Greetings everyone. I finally finished my tribute to 'A Christmas Story'. Jean Shepherd's classic story of a boy in search of a Red Ryder BB Gun. The lighting on the sign, frosted windows, snow, etc. were postwork. There are other things I wanted to do to it, but I've got to let it go and get back to some Christmas projects. Hope ya like it. Merry Christmas! 50.

Great X-mas picture Rich !
Perhaps it would be nice to try to make a more "warm" light in the shop and
keep the "colder" light ,that u are using now, for the outside !
Just an idea...dont know if its easy in Zbrush to to a thing like that ?

Hi five oh,

Yes, I LIKE IT!

Jean Shephard is one of my all time heroes. In the 70's, his radio shows of story-telling, ad-libbing and kazoo music played nightly in my studio while I worked.

A wonderful tribute...

Sven

Hi Jantim, thanks, and good point.

Hi Sven, and thanks for that link. I haven't known alot about him, and never heard his radio shows.

Thank you, Marciani.

great subject and beautiful parts you used there, but i agree with Jantim - It really lacks of the warm xmas-shop-window-flair we all know.

greets froyd

Hi everyone, Thanks for your comments. I had turned the color saturation down to give it an old feel and had it much less than it is, almost black and white, but turned it up a couple notches. Sometimes you try things and they don't convey the way you want. When everyone notices the same thing, there's something to it. I had also planned to insert a picture of my 10 year old nephew as a reflection in the window, but thought it might be too busy.
Pilou, I can't wait to see that movie.
Bye all. 50.

Hi everyone, I took the 'cooler-warmer' comments on the lighting to heart and I think it helped. I also put it into a card format. Thanks for your input.

Hi aminuts, I baked and did alot of shadow painting.

Bye all. 50.
