Description

This is just a bonus image for all those who liked the previous one.

I often do two images of a scene at the same time and this image was done intending to be a prequel, but the horse ended up looking too small for the rider
(even though side-by-side it is not) so I didn't use it at the time. However I like to keep sets together for my own gallery purposes.. so I've now added it, small horse and all.

Thank you! That game has been on my 'Wish List' for a while now because yes, I love exploring and feeling immersed in huge open-world games but at present I can't keep up! There are so many movies, TV series to watch, books to read, renders to make, games to play (then there's work of course) that I can't seem to fit it all in..

Thank you for the tip! Unfortunately I only have a PC for gaming.. no Playstation.
I think I have about 20 games I have bought (on Steam) and haven't played yet

That game looks funny!  I keep saying to myself that I must do more gaming but I never seem to find the time at the moment.

Very nice scene with a great lighting mood.   The horse has already appealed to others.

That's what it looks like here (a little bit), there are still many old half-timbered houses in some cities.

Ha ha,  do you know it's exactly the kind of screenshot I made by hundreds with the witcher 3.  I love so much this view of the back of the rider. Very nice

I thought you might like this one   I also liked the way you described my last Victorian interior scene a "bonus picture" so I made this one a similar "bonus image".
 
BTW, that other game you mentioned - 'Kingdom Come' has been on my wish list for a while but I promised myself I would finish some other games first before I get it... one day

I can't say about the story because I didn't play it, but the landscapes are wonderful. If you dream like me of a realistic, lifelike, european medieval country, it's a game for you

These two renders are so wonderful and detailed!  I think the horse works.  It reminds me of the first horse I had ever ridden.  He was the smallest on the ranch but he was so fast and fun to ride.

Haha, thanks Scott! You know that's what I thought about my tiny car I bought a few years ago, it's so fast and fun to drive around the city I don't think I would want a huge car again (except for those longer journeys of course!)

I think it is a grand image. Small horse(?) or more of the angle of the image and characters.

Kibosh-1 In reply to Tonto1 [2018-10-04 22:23:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Tonto, yes, in the end it's a matter of angle - but I should have made it 'look right' rather than be technically correct. Like you said previously "The artist is his own worst critic"

I like this version. But as  Cederien  pointed out, I don't think the horse is to small.

Thanks Magnus! It's just one of those things that bugs me, you know how there's always one thing you would change if you did a scene again    but overall it completes the set enough for my purposes.

For me it has a home coming feeling in it. After a long journey or something similar...
Love your colors and light and view! Btw., why don't you scale down the guy a little bit? 95% could help you to fix that optical problem

Kibosh-1 In reply to Enchanted-April [2018-10-04 22:14:37 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Enchanted-April, yes it does have that feel about it doesn't it    I actually did scale the horse up a bit (even though as you can see in the previous scene the horse is quite large compared to the man as he is leading it) but as you say, because of camera and perspective and angle sometimes we have to make things 'technically wrong' in order to make the image look 'right' in the end.
(I get lazy and after I've finished a scene most of the time I never go back to 'fix' them)

What about for those of us who loved it? I so truly love the colors, man. Well, I love everything about it, but it's so warm, yet soft and easy on the eyes. Quite inviting! 

I can relate to the horse/man size. My Kolin/Irish Knight character is a hulking guy and he always looked so huge compared to his original horse. I ended up using a larger version of a draft horse which is ridiculously large for a person to ride on and I don't think they are meant for long distances or fast speeds, but hey it's fantasy right? And as a general rule, the larger the man, the more oddly proportioned the horse is going to look. I did google searches when changing the horse for my hero and their is that sort of oddness in sizes. We're not used to seeing Conan on horseback, just an average person riding one. Unless you changed something I don't think the horse looks noticeably smaller than it should. Everything looks perfectly proportioned and arranged.

Kibosh-1 In reply to ZippyGuitar [2018-10-04 22:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Haha, oh yeah, "and for those who loved it" Thanks Glen    I like your Irish Knight - I looked up your images with horses in them when I first did this scene and thought my horse was out of proportion. I prefer the horses being slightly oversized as you have made them because it looks more powerful and 'fantasy-like'. Is the one you used the Hivewire horse? I find the daz one's mane, tail and hooves a bit basic. Originally the horse's head was about half the size because of the angle and perspective so I turned his head and neck to the left to compensate.. overall, it's pretty good but you know how it is when something bugs you about a scene

ZippyGuitar In reply to Kibosh-1 [2018-10-04 23:16:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I certainly can relate in regards to those gnawing feelings. And yes, I use the Hivewire horse. It's mane is better, but I typically add to it in Photoshop to give it a little more fullness. For whatever reason I like rendering the horses. I guess I like how they look. Adds to that real world feeling I guess.

Cederien [2018-10-03 23:42:56 +0000 UTC]

Not sure if the horse looks to small. If it's supposed to be a war horse maybe, most medieval horse wasn't as big as our modern day warmbloods. Can't get rid of the impression he sits a bit to close to the neck though, that might be just the angle, not sure.
Darn impressive sword for a mercenary, didn't really notice that in the 1st image. I hope for his sake the original owner isn't alive to want it back anymore.

Kibosh-1 In reply to Cederien [2018-10-04 21:53:11 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's the angle. The horses head and neck is also turned to the left so that it's head wasn't even smaller because of the perspective. It all contributed to the rider looking just a bit oversized and slightly wrong in comparison to the horse. Enough for me to be less than happy about it anyhow..
