Hello, With war horse everywhere I could not resist having ago, my first horse study All sizes | ww1 horse | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Thanks for looking Soren
my first horse study Excellent mate. Your skill is getting better every time I see your work. Spot on. Keep it up.
Soren, that's a darn good first stab! On viewing I was reminded of a lovely 1930ish photo in an old family album of a chap in full attire astride a horse outside the Calvary Barracks at Hounslow.
Thanks very much for the feedback, just a sketch, the proportions are a nightmare with horses, and then there are the legs........
Good job matey - Here's my Grandfather on his horse in WW1 http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/prewar/16255-se-22249-pte-john-newson-v-c.html
Soren, much better than the actual movie which has now found itself a best pic nominee. To me it was like watching ET meets barbed wire.
Sort of spooky - Soren's painting and Drew's Grandfather: I will go to see Warhorse but I must say I have seen some clips and CGI (however well done) puts me off. I would always rather see genuine filmed footage. If a 'stunt' isn't achievable without CGI I can't believe in it, and normally I can spot the enhanced imagery a mile off.
A little further, seems to be a yelloow tint from my spotlight All sizes | ww1 horse | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Soren Nice Picture. and detail you may want to add! We enjoyed the film and ok there were PC Graphics but attention to detail was quite good as can be shown from the photos of my Uncle James in the Lothians and border horse WWI. James was in the TF before WW1 and not the Regular Army this can be seen in one of the photo's, The gent behind James in full uniform holding a horse’s bit which has slots for a pair of reigns either side of the horses head and a hook which takes a chain under the horses chin for better control. He is also wearing above his right breast pocket an ISB Imperial Service Badge. The ISB is not a medal and it’s issue to Officers and OR’s is nowhere individually recorded, however it can be a useful device especially when dealing with Photographs of soldiers. Initially it was to be worn on the right breast of trained soldiers of a Territorial Force Unit where all members had undertaken, before the outbreak of war, to serve abroad if required – normal commitment for the Territorial force (TA) being for home service only. The ISB was only issued to qualifying men in the TA, it was not applicable to men in Regular or “New” Armies. The sword fitted into a leather thong fitted on the left side, note the two rings to stop it falling through, this also can be seen in the movie. His rifle was also slung over his shoulder and the butt fitted into the leather pouch on the right hand side rear on the saddle, the movie has it like the cowboys at the front. I hope this can be of use to you. John n Jean.
