Description
I was looking for a little incongruity with this render and that led to the title. The Keokuk isn't very large, but it certainly fills a canal. The ironclad is my own USS Keokuk. The crewman is M4 and the officer Lorenzo Lorez from DAZ. The crew uniform is Slosh's Navy Uniform and the officer's is a modified version of Varsel's free Lorez US-CS Uniform. The John Boat is from RDNA and its oarsman is DAZ's M3 wearing Legends of a Cowboy from RDNA. The buildings are from Roland58's Bruge sets. The water and backdrop are from the Poser Ocean by RubiconDigital. The DAZ Eagle is overhead to bring home the point. And Zoë, the Millenium Cat is unobtrusively back.
The Poser-rendered image was postprocessed in Picture Publisher to produce a washed-out, faded photo image and also in Photoshop using AdamWright's Pen & Paint Art Action. Then I combined the two in CorelPaint for the final image.

Neat idea! Well done!

Superb! Love your attention to detail, like the swell of the bow wave. That eagle is a nice, if whimsical, touch, and I am glad to see Zoe again. I was looking for her, to no avail, in the previous images.

Wonderful Image,

Cool! Not every day one sees a ship sailing down a "street" (it looks like a flooded street). Nice attention to detail. The Keokuk looks quite top heavy, as though ready to capsize in any rough water. I assume the real Keokuk went down in a storm. Nice job on creating the ship! Keep up the good work! :-)

RJS: I'd prepared the earlier images for the product description material, so hard as it was I kept Zoë away, although she was often on my desk blocking my view of the PC screen. T.Rex: Bruge in Belgium has canals. There may not be one that looks like this but Roland58's set has real buildings. The Keokuk used a composite armor system of alternating wood and iron bars, so it was lighter than a true ironclad would have been. Still, it's unlikely to have been very seaworthy in a storm. The armor system unfortunately was inadequate for combat. The Keokuk sank at Charleston the morning after its first and only battle. It had taken ninety hits.
