Medieval-ish Fantasy: One-Track Mind

I'm a bit disappointed, I was hoping to see some trains.

But seriously: nicely done.

Nice story.
Happy Easter.

Ah... I leave the trains to the experts, namely yourself and Gizems. Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you very much. And to you too!

Happy Easter!

Yay, happy easter. Nice little scene, is the background part of a larger diorama? Looks awesome and fits so many fantasy themed topics.

Thank you very much, to you too. At the risk of disappointing, it is a bit of an optical illusion. I downloaded a transparent-background PNG of the Gothic windows and superimposed it over a spring landscape, manipulating color and size for my needs. I then exported the resulting image as a JPEG, projected it full screen, and adjusted it to fit my makeshift foreground surface. I then shot the photos with the screen as background, aided by some spotlights and trying to focus on the figures to avoid visible pixellation behind them. But one could definitely print out the Gothic structure PNG, either together with an integrated background image to be seen through it, or separately, with the open areas cut away, and various backgrounds deployed behind it.
I used the same technique here:

Nice setup. The Mother of Dragons doesn’t seem to accept that there could possibly be anything else that lays eggs, indeed. Happy Easter!

Thank you very much, and Happy Easter to you too. Yep, some people have tunnel vision, and she appears to be one of them. I think this is when Jon Snow knew something was wrong...

Happy Easter day with GOT!

thanks for the tip, i'm far from being disappointed, in fact i'm grateful learning something in return. no matter the subject one shares his experience with, othes can only get smarter.
in the long run i was going to print some background for my dioramas so it wouldn't show the blank wall or an empty space.

Jon is a great easter bunny and lady of the Dragons looking a bit confused here in the last pic. That was some hard truth to swallow.

Happy Easter!

WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS??

I hid them.

WHERE??

You have to find them, like, easter eggs.

Happy Easter/Norther.

"What do you mean these don't hatch chocolate dragons!?!"

Ah, so awesome!!! This killed me. So good, and the background looks excellent. The spring imagery is so perfect through the window. I love it.

You are very welcome. It is tricky getting a large enough screen and avoiding capturing the pixellation. In principle, I would still prefer to get my pieces, especially the ones that go in front, if we are talking about layers as here, printed. I just haven't done any of that since the big move.

Thank you, you too. Yep, I don't know whether she had gotten it by the point the last photo was snapped. I think she was still hoping for smooth dragons in pearlescent magenta (?) color.

LOL. That's funny, 's what that is. (I have no idea why I'm giving Jon this accent.) Happy Norther to you too! Danny's off looking for them already... and here's your sign...

Thank you very much, Adam, I'm glad you liked it. Hmmm, chocolate dragons -- probably should have thought of that too; although that would have been believable enough! To be honest, I experimented with about six different options for the landscape background at the back, but ended up with this one. Glad it worked.

So cute! Hope you had a nice Easter! ^.^

lovely
and such a great backdrop construction... !!

Thank you very much, glad you liked it. It was all over the place, but we're all good and still kicking.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it and the digital backdrop. In case someone gets the wrong idea, I only put it together from pre-existing images.

Another hilarious scene!  I love how you're able to take the stock expressions and make them seem so goofy just by catching the perfect angle. It's a talent, comedy is hard!

Thank you very much, I'm delighted you liked it. Sometimes expressions will work well or ok for you without modification. Sometimes, one can help them by using FaceApp or similar software, as a number of our members keep demonstrating with great effect (check out Ephiane's mermaid or dungeon crawlers threads). I tried it this when we were first discussing it, and it is worth it for the photos, but I wasn't going to install a supposed Russian spy app on my new machine -- which is my excuse for being lazy, I guess.

That was nice, it got a chuckle but I have to ask.

If you dye dragon eggs, does the baby come out with whatever color you dyed it?
That's a question game of thrones never answered.

Indeed... they should have thought of that! My guess is, depends on the strength of the dye (this year our Easter eggs were almost the same color peeled as unpeeled!). But more to the point, if you boil the eggs, wouldn't the (would-be) baby dragons die?

Thanks for the laugh , Gube ! Great posing and story !
