Description

What made the cowboy way so appealing to so many? To answer to no man. To decide your own path. To die where you choose. Strong coffee and beef jerky. The sun on your face and the wind to your back. A saddle for your pillow. Freedom of mind. Very little post on this...fixed the shoreline, added 3 trees and some water ripples. I fell in love with the sky though the clouds have a slightly surreal look to them. I tried fixing that in skylab but couldn't so it is as it is. *** Mil horse, M3, CIS overcoat, Indiana Jones hat, M3west saddle, foleypro filler forest. Extra babble: Created for another DSA contest...this one about cowboys and their way of life. They also have a dragon one going on. No prizes listed yet but I'm hoping they have Poser7 on the list somewhere.

No one gets realism out of Bryce the way you do Nancy, this is absolutely sublime. The Cowboy Way yes Ma'am but with an Iron Horse for me. Super work & Peace

I'd like to make a comment on a good point that Lemonjim brought up. He suggested a 2D plane to change the sky to something less surreal. This is a practice that a lot of people in Bryce will use. It works for some people like Joe (orbital) but I prefer to use Bryce as is and in some cases the 2D sky clashes with the rest of the scene. In my scene here, I have seen clouds like this...usually upward glow from the setting sun sets them on fire and they blaze red, orange and purple. What I think is a bit surreal is that they have spots that are circular rather than stringy and long. I wish the sky lab made volume clouds instead of me having to create them. Then I could put big thunderheads in my scenes and those huge puffy clouds too. In the end, I like the sky because the overall effect is that of a painting.

@Ken, if this was about landscapes ma;ybe I could win but right now there's some very good cowboy art with a slightly 2D look that is looking very promising as a front runner to me...guns and bullets and such.

This is touching.I think it is what I liked about Bryce so much. To be able to create this type of scene from the mind.Your words go well with it too. What I do like about this is the positioning of everything. What if I said maybe add a bit of shadows to the trees in front.OK I'll run and hide so ya don;t hit me. Have a nice end of week.

You know Nancy...No matter what part of the World we come from, the Wild West Way of the past has always been looked upon as a romantic and exciting way to live. Although there was a lot of danger..there was also a lot of freedom and dreams to be fulfilled. I wish I had been around in those days, I guess I am just an old romantic lol!. Excellent work!

Thar's FREEDOM in them thar hills!!! Been a while since you've done a landscape pic. You definitely haven't lost your touch. Those mountains look like actual geological processes went on. Very well done.
