Photo stack: Juoru rides Vissy - now better

No, actually I just mean the tack is better. But I also hope the photos are too. Let the professional modellers laugh, though...

I don't know what puts me to put Vissy to wear that bridle. It has no quality, really, but it fits that horse. Vissy dives well to practically every bridle I make, meaning if they are made for sporthorses, and this one isn't the best possible - not for use and not for photos. And still he wears it. Yet worse than Juoru, my oldest homemade doll, is the rider. He's difficult to position and he looks clearly just and only stupid. I'm not good at liking my outdated works.

But these photos are good enough for my taste. And that tack is in it's best step now, believe it or not.

I decided to edit this very freely and heavily, because the original photo was so bad in quality. Added a lot of contrast and sharpening, and lowered the colors more.

Settings: 'portrait', with lowered colors.

Settings: 'colorful', colors and contrast as strong as possible.

Do you scream if I get yet more photos of Juoru riding Vissy? I could do, inside my brains. But hey I could at least change a different background and try new things, or what? Nevermind...

Photo stack: Asko and Roz at home

Sorry for the stupid title. Again. And another sorry for the small amount of pics...

I feel I need to publish these. There's not even any horses, or story, or anything; but I captured this before creating new set instead.

There are Asko and Rozaliin at their home (The Rat Room), maybe discussing, while Roz is forced to give attention for an old cat called Tumpula. The cat purrs and 'bakes' her leg, a cat way to tell "I like you". 

Artistic info:
The Rat Room is a 1:9 scale piece-of-a-home thing I have created to a shelf. There's glass doors in it, so I see there while the things are also protected from cats (who could jump to a doorless shelf and taste or play with small pieces).

All the paintings are made by me. I don't print things to small size or anything, I paint (or draw) all with small paintbrush to the scale I need. Doing mini art is nice and relaxing, because the work's size doesn't really matter - paintings can be huge or tiny, both in mini and 1:1 scale. Many of those small landscapes are meant to look Finnish lakes. Not all...
