The wasteland wanderer wanders the wasteland. AND THEN HE MAKES A JOURNAL ENTRY :D - Garry's Mod

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTkbpdDE1n8[/media] ^WANDERING MUSIC COMPOSED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF WANDERING AND WANDERING-RELATED ACTIVITIES [quote] It is my seventh day in this dying land. I have enough water with me to last a while, but my food is becoming scarce. I brought a rifle along with me for hunting, but the only creatures I've seen in this blighted place are mutated to the point that it's tumors would dissuade even the most desperate survivalist from devouring it unless he wanted those tumors to develop on his own skin the next day. I came across the first sign of civilization since I departed: the gruesome remains of a battlefield. This must be the place the old hag was talking about, and if that's the case, that will put me about halfway across the desert. I'll gather whatever supplies I can before nightfall, and sleep inside the belly of one of the ancient war machines before pressing on.

Too slouched. Looks more like he's thrusting than standing there.

ah fuck you're right :o god dammit

That is one hella small M16. I like the idea of the background and everything, but the awkward pose kind of ruins it.

I like the idea of this pose too, the background is great. But the posing kinda sucks.

Did you even put effort into this?

Pretty good.

[QUOTE=Moonsorrow;30045786]Did you even put effort into this?[/QUOTE] you're an idiot the posing is slightly awkward but really nowhere near as bad as people are making out

[QUOTE=Moonsorrow;30045786]Did you even put effort into this?[/QUOTE] lol.

The background scenery is very nice, though the posing is slightly awkward, I'd also say add some type of gear to him, a wandering survivor the the apocalypse wouldn't just be going around in pants and a hoodie.

[QUOTE=rossmum;30049674]you're an idiot the posing is slightly awkward but really nowhere near as bad as people are making out[/QUOTE] In my opinion he did not , so what's wrong with asking? The backstory is stupid and cliche , the "battlefield" is only a couple of dod props thrown at random (the way they are put doesn't even make sense, I didn't know a jeep could fire artillery shells) and there's a ZPU just a few meters above? The angle is dull , there is no editing, even ingame . AKA "no effort"

hooo boy first of all, that's not a zpu, not even close. it's a sherman chassis with a quad m2 mount. a zpu is a 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun designed by the soviets. don't throw names around if you don't know where they belong. second, jeeps were regularly used to shuttle ammo, water, medical supplies, casualties, weapons, [B]anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns[/B] and any other thing under the sun up and down the line, not just officers. again, don't talk shit about things you don't understand. third, how is the backstory any more stupid and cliche than any other backstory i have ever seen in this section? or, for that matter, 90% of the pictures in here? you're literally fucking retarded if you think no effort was put into this then again you are a chronic shitposter so i can't say i'm surprised at all

The angle is still terrible, there is still no editing , the backstory is still as cliche and stupid (Apocalypse, lol rly?) , jeeps still don't fire artillery shells , the "sherman chassis" or whatever still does not have anything to do here I'm sorry for being so "mean" but no I think there is no effort put into this , and that anyone could do better in a short 10 minutes. Plus blooregardo is supposed to be an old member, you'd except something [i]better[/i] from someone who has been making screenshots for so long. And thanks for calling me a shitposter, it's an honour from a typical gun maniac like you.

[QUOTE=Moonsorrow;30067793][B]and that anyone could do better in a short 10 minutes.[/B][/QUOTE] Do it then. I think it's pretty good (apart from the ever so slightly sloppy posing) with a good idea. If you think you can do better then why aren't you backing up your statement? :downs:

[QUOTE=Xenoyia v2;30067876]Do it then. I think it's pretty good (apart from the sloppy posing) with a good idea. If you think you can do better then why aren't you backing up your statement? :downs:[/QUOTE] Because I don't want to? It's that simple , really , I don't feel the need to make a gmod picture. Besides, it keeps crashing on me. I just can't launch it anymore. Not wanting to do the same thing in a better way doesn't hold one from saying something that someone else made is bad. (Did that make sense?) Like, I can't say that Matisse's art is terrible, because I can't do the same. That's pointless, really.

Can you just shut up?

[QUOTE=Moonsorrow;30067793]there is still no editing[/QUOTE] Editing isn't necessary here or anywhere. Most of the recent Portal 2 stuff was done without editing.

[QUOTE=Moonsorrow;30067793]And thanks for calling me a shitposter, it's an honour from a typical gun maniac like you.[/QUOTE] Rossmum like many people in the world use common sense, yes jeeps don't fire artillery shells but as he stated they carried such munitions into battle situations, also as for the Sherman, Blooregardo as used some effort to put 2 seperate models together to create something unique for his pic. You also didn't help yourself by calling it a Russian ZPU when you would know someone like Rossmum would correct you on it, people correct me on stuff doesn't mean I get pissed off over it.

oh dear god I've incited a rage orgy god have mercy on my soul I really, [i]really[/i] don't care about appeasing every last one of you, so while I suppose I appreciate you all "standing up for me", I don't need it. If someone criticizes my work, leave it be and stop jumping down each other's throats. It's pointless. As far as continuity and realism goes, I care even less. The reason there are discarded tank shells near the jeep is... well, no reason at all. It's supposed to be chaotic generic, war-related imagery, so really Moonsorrow is more correct than most of you. I [i]did[/i] randomly place DoD props in area. There was [i]some[/i] order. It's been a long time since I've ventured into the realm of ragdoll posing and I'm more than a little out-of-practice. If my half-assed poses aren't up to par, I won't be heartbroken. I'm a grown man, I can take criticism. I'd rather you guys not try to appease me, and instead point out what's actually wrong with my work so I can improve upon it.
