'Babes In The Wood'

I've done a few children/teenager images though not many. The Daz models rather put me off, getting more and more cartoony as they go down the age scales. And the tendency to over-exagurrate is too great for the 'artist' too. This is my favourite, unsubtle enough in its meaning though I like the different reactions among the characters. It also shows how clothes can influence appearance of age. The slacker in the foreground is the same model as the pair behind him/her but looks years older. The path was made from a photo I took at York's Clifton Ings; the woody background from another taken close by. Both fit into the forest models reasonably well, although you don't have to look that close to see the joins. Incidentally, it's no wonder they are lost. The map they are consulting is of the Helvellyn mountain range in the Lake District, an area not noted for its woods.
