Creepy motherfucking space-cyborg zombies.
That's nice.

Very nice!

He dun fucked up. That's terrible grammar. I don't know if you're misquoting it or if in the context of whatever novel this is, it makes more sense... but it's totally grammatically incorrect.

Okay I researched the quote. I still don't understand why it's wrong. My guess it is a weird translation of the ancient Hindu script.

[QUOTE=Fort83;23926940]still sounds alittle weird[/QUOTE]
Seriously guys? It's a quote he remembered from Hindu scripture that he said after the first atomic detonation.
Learn some history.
Many thanks for the ratings :saddowns:
As for the picture (yeah I post on-topic occasionally). The posing on the main subject is really cool... creepily unfeeling, but yet still sentient. The lighting and atmosphere are nice enough. My only real complaint is the somewhat empty space on the left in comparison to the filled background on the right.

I ninja'd you so nurrrrr
And the grammar is still incorrect, history learnt or not.
:golfclap: Good work, my good sir.
Just FYI guys, you're here to rate and criticize the image, not the spelling :v:

looks like he's right
although,i really find that weird
Just for those still arguing
[QUOTE]The quote is indeed from the Bhagavad Gita ("Song of the lord"). Some suggest it's a misquote, which would explain the peculiar grammar; but "am become" is not an error but a (poetic) archaism, as in "I am become a name, for always roaming with a hungry heart" (Tennyson, Ulysses). Which in turn might be a trace of French; "Je suis devenu la mort".
[/QUOTE]
Before I found out it was a Hindu translation, my bet was on archaic language of some form. I didn't realise the archaic Hindi would be translated into archaic English though.
If there really was a problem with the grammar of that quote then i think they would've corrected it at least 60 years ago.
Grammar aside, the picture looks awesome.

If they corrected the grammar, would it really be a quote?
Yeah, but no, picture looks pretty sexy.
I get an I Robot sort of feel from this. Nice work.

There's nothing to correct; some people just aren't as learned as they think.
Can't believe people didn't know about that :(
Anyway great picture.

Ha, only actual criticism.
Thanks man. I was trying to make the husks appear as braindead, but still sentient enough to appear as creepy. Almost 80% of the editing was done in-game. It's quite amazing how little photoshop-work that needs doing in the end of the day.
Anyway, thanks for the positive comments so far guys. I guess I just raised the bar for myself in the future eh?

Yes and any pictures lacking this kind of quality will not be tolerated!
Love this pic, fits well with the music.
Hey, lets not talk about the picture, lets talk more offtopic about hindu quotes!
To be honest I do have a criticism. The husks in the background don't seem to really glow. No light stepping.
I like quotes like this, they hold alot of power to me.
Picture is great too.
That's it.
I'm never quoting anyone ever again.

Goddamnit you retarded grammar nazis that can't tell what a goddamn quote is, look what you did.
Archaic language sucks.
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;23941388]Archaic language sucks.[/QUOTE]
I noticed.

I'm really digging the atmosphere, but as chesty said, the empty space is just kinda odd.
But yea, the editing is great, posing is nice and fluid.
Good job.
