Description
The little old lady in the shoe goes sailing. This idea came to me for a contest and it made me laugh. I hope this is not a 'done that, seen that' image because I am very happy with it. Only post is signature, smoke,rope and Steph's pole. Standard Bryce sky, mats, terrains and trees.
Made this image for a Fractured Fairytales contest for Odd Ditty Foundry. First, second and third get gift certs to their store. The contest is held through www.dreamslayerartworks.com. There's only 3 entries at the moment so I'm sure to win something, lol.
Oh, one more thing. Bryce kept crashing on me when I tried to save this file with Steph in it. I had created some kids to put in too but it would just crash with them too. Very disappointing. Sure hope version 6 addresses this problem.

This is just Too Cool! An Amazeing Fractured Fairytale in a visual format. Too bad the kids wouldn't work, that would have been a Bonus. The number of entries in the contest shouldn't matter this is a Winner! Outstanding work Nancy & Peace
I just love it! You have an awesome imagination :)
BWAHAHAHAA!!! First prize in my book darlin!!! What a wonderful play on words/pop culture! And the image is smashing! I can really feel those waves moving!! And all the little details, the old woman, the man, the cat, the clouds! It's delightful!! But what does a deisel engine in a big leather boot sound like? ; ) Awesome!!
I love it too! What an exquist piece of fantasy. Very well composed and very imaginative. Excellent!
What a fun image. That's a Really cool water texture, I don't know if I've seen anything like it before. And of course the title/play on words is very amusing. Excellent work!
the water is out of sight!! so real in appearance. your idea rocks.very original art work and it made me smile also
What a hoot! Excellent!
Thanks everyone! That's a pup up on the top deck...he's standing on his hind legs, looking over the railing. I wanted to render this larger but couldn't. Not deisel, she's burning the bread while she's busy steering the boat, lol.
I guessed before the image finished downloading! you have the whole story there -and more- all at once. The boot rocks! I know and love that water material too, never got the horizon quite as nice as this, though.
very clever and well done, indeed!
I'm sure this will make it to the top! I oppen it and the first reaction was a smile. UUUUU I'm still smiling inside. Thanks
HAHaaaaaaa! Great one, Nancy!! ROTFLMAO!! Perfectly made and Super clever. You're bound to win! Too Cool!! (Das Boot! Hahahahaha!)
WOW Brilliant compozition,very original.Bravo!!!
Fantastic image Nancy ... looks like one for my favorites. Excellento!!!
Wonderful composition nancy!!Very creative and i love the water!!!
Big smiley for this one, Nancy! One way to avoid those crashes is to pose, render and save in DAZ Studio. Then re-launch DAZ Studio from within Bryce, open your saved file and close DAZ to transfer objects to Bryce. I often had problems with images with .obj's imported via File Menu - this stopped those crashes. Oh and don't forget to Break DAZ Studio link from Objects menu before making any changes or you'll lose them....
Brilliant illustration. The cat must be pretty worried surrounded by the water.I'm getting the same problem with Bryce 5.5 crashing when I place too many models. Sometimes rebooting the machine allows me to put a couple more models on before it gives up completely. Although mac4qman sounds like the best way ahead.
When I saw the title I was expecting another thing. Excellent idea and realization. The water looks excellent. Very funny fantasy job. I suppose the cat and the dog aren't much happy there because they can't go exploring. Good luck on the contest!
Great story scene!! Well done.
Great imagination Nancy!! You're a winner in my book!!! Well done!! :)
