And rider next wasn't changed much at all, but in the story is the cousin who Grandpap had to shoot in self defence. This is the last race they had, with Ol' Dan winning here.CSA Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073099390039256268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488285440879516194.post-63251578144619559762007-04-18T07:48:00.000-06:002007-04-18T07:48:00.000-06:00I think chapter 3 or the Epilogue are my favorites...I think chapter 3 or the Epilogue are my favorites. I'm pleased with all of them, although I would improve ch 6 and the cover if I had the chance. They were the early ones. But I like the feel of chapter 3 and especially the Epilogue. It makes me think that Grandpap is looking back on future generations to lead them in the right way. Each rider in the file represents another following generation.CSA Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073099390039256268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488285440879516194.post-83118022418442725082007-04-18T07:43:00.000-06:002007-04-18T07:43:00.000-06:00Thanks Fan!...Yea, that one was a famous painting ...Thanks Fan!...<BR/><BR/>Yea, that one was a famous painting of JEB Stuart. It is of course, adapted a bit. But that one as well as the cover (a painting of a Union Cavalry officer riding a review in front of a line of Yankees after a battle) were the 2 well known paintings. All the rest were sketches from the time. So the better the original the piece, the more detail I was able to put in my drawing. Thus is was with the chapter 1 drawing.<BR/><BR/>Although, looking at the chapter 7 drawing, that one I just changed the marking system alot. It has a lot of detail to it...in the original form that is. And the chapter 5 drawing is taken from a photo of Alton Prison in 1860. The horses and riders were from an old west painting.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just a little background.
