Re: City farm

The white horse looked lonley so I put him with the brown horse and moved him to a scene with more animals. Oops, it starts to rain...never mind, they are happy just being together.

Gee-sch. I must be tired.

Re: City farm

Still experimenting with PostworkShop. This time I blended Etching with Fine Etching for the most part to get this result. Should you want to, click below for complete rendering.

Lyle, if you come up with any good tips for using PostWorkShop, let me know.

I blended AHB with Topaz Adjust.

Re: City farm

The board has been slow lately so it was good to see this one brought back.

I used Topaz, DAP, and Fotosketcher.
