Train Failure

lol too small

The train looks so shopped. lol

Didn’t see it at first, lol’d heartily upon noticing though.

Maybe that’s a giant girl, since the scenery is small as well

Probably a train miniature?

LOL! Had a good laugh xD

She is a Meltrand.

Ever thought of an immense model railroad ?

looking at the background seems everything is small. A giant girl perhaps?

The grass and the fence aren’t small compared to the girl. And the power lines above the railroad seems to be at a pretty normal height above the track… Must be a very, very narrow train.

No, the fence is definitely small compared to the girl. She shouldn’t be one and a half times taller then a fence that is the same height as the tunnel a train will be coming out of…

I think I can see what the artist is getting at. The girl is crouching on a raised platform, say about four feet high. If you continue the rails below the bottom edge of the picture you would see the intended perspective. The far end of the platform has been obscured, this would also show that it was raised. Not terribly well drawn.

lol he messed up on the perspective XD

Things I saw:

1. The low fence
2. The tunnel going into a tree/pyramidal mountain(but lookit the back of the mountain, arent those trees?!?!)
3. The girl’s on a platform, which made the perspective of the rail/tunnel correct.
4. However, if you do not see the girl as she’s on some platform, then the whole thing would be a miniature railway XD and the tunnel is a board or something that stands there and not going into the tree/pyramidal mountain.

and more . . .

Darn it this artist is a genius!!!

Could it be that this artist is in fact some kind of latter day M.C. Escher?

If it wasn’t for her shadow and the fact that her feet is in the scene, I’d say she was in front of a poster or something… one of her legs looks more like a shadow.

But yeah, proportions… she’s a giand girl waiting to crush the little train. XD

I thought she was on a high platform lol

Well it does look screwed up. <.<
even though she is on a platform (which you can see from the shadow of it) I’d assume it would be to ‘get onto’ the train, so,
weiiiirrrrd D:

Obviously, it’s a promo still for the upcoming anime remake of “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”.

Nothing wrong with the picture, she’s simply visiting the amusement park where I work over the summer…

+One of the power lines ends behind the girl’s head. Besides, aren’t there way too many of them for one line of train tracks? One train only needs 2 I think, not 4 and a half.

Is this a promo image for a commercial product?

If so, another possibility is that the background and the character were drawn by different artists, and the image is a result of poor compositing by an inexperienced designer in marketing…

Has anyone noticed the shadow for both the platform and the tracks? Thta’s either:

A) TALL Tracks
B) short Platform
C) Another fail for inconsistant lighting perspective.

But yeah…Things don’t look at all to scale between the subject and the scenary.

Nice character though.

I think she is standing at an edge and the tracks are below her making them aper to be smaller than they rille are

Its a giant girl. Period.

wow. . . mini train???? ;;^^a

Why does her shadow stop at the tracks?

Speaking from an artist’s stance, it’s just easy most times to overlook the relative perspective of background versus character when the focus is on the character. Most likely the character was designed, and then some sort of reference was used for the background. This reference may have not been to scale with the character but once again… it’s easy to get distracted by the presence of a well designed character. So that’s what I think is happening with this one.

It’s a trap.

See, had it been a model railway, or perhaps a narrow gauge railway (do they have them that small?), it would make sense…
