Kasper-V Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Great work, Greggry. Is that The Isle of Wight ferry leaving Portsmouth Harbour? (You know, the more I look at this, the more I appreciate how work you've put into it. Brilliant!) Greggry P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You know, the more I look at this, the more I appreciate how work you've put into it. Brilliant!) Thanks Kaspar-V, and yes it is! Well spotted! In the original photo, Portsmouth Point was very blurred and indistinct - essentially just a smudge in the background, but I was never going to get away with that as the client wants this pretty large, so I had to try and recreate it from photos I found online. None of the angles were quite right though in any of the shots, so this is partly constructed from imagination. It’s taken me longer than anything I’ve ever worked on previously!

Kasper-V Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I've made the trip often enough! We use the Lymington route these days (when we get the opportunity), but I have some (analogue) photos from way back. You've obviously done a very good job of recreating the buildings!

VectorVonDoom Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I like the town, nicely detailed. But too many different styles for me, just pick one. For example the highlights on the sunglasses should be in the same style as the face imo, not blurs. Clouds should be cloud shaped and probably a bit more detail to match.
