Me and my friend (KenzieDaB5454) Have been working on this D-Day scene for Day of Defeat. We would like your opinion on this Screenshot so we can make more and show you guys. Thanks.

Like I put in yours in the Comic section: It is a start.
The rest I will edit the quote later.
Do you have photoshop or GIMP? I recommend getting it.
Just google GIMP, since obviously, you will want something free...
Also, make sure you use:
Good bloom and color,
Editing,
And more original scenes.
This is what grabs viewers the most. Use your creativity. People have been re-creating DOD poses/comics in certain areas, so it is kinda dull nowadays. Try a more modern scene, like Fallout, Zombies-Believe it or not, everyone likes a good zombie or two,-Maybe even a random comedy scene. Try to be random, think random, and be random. Good examples? SIN and MadmanMad's non interactives. Do not look at the "troll" comics for advice. Not very good examples.
But, trust me, EVERYONE started at where you are now. Do not feel down about yourself or anything. You know what I say?
"Keep going, don't stop, and if someone gets in your way...Ignore them."
(Of course, the most important of critics destroy this little law, like Haxxar, Slug, Madman, SIN, etc.)
Thanks Green, Big and positive threads are extremely helpfull. :)
[QUOTE=MarineFreakUSMC;24203803]Oh thanks dude..I didnt know how to do that :$[/QUOTE]
No problem, I can see you have effort and enthusiasm, all needed now is refinement.

Thanks Green, I do have photoshop, and I'll be sure to use it.
We were actually thinking of starting a new modern one.
Thanks for the advice too, I'll be sure to use it :)
Don't dupe ragdolls.
It has some great potential. Well for starters. Everyone hates ingame explosions, just search up some photoshop explosion tutorials. Also don't duplicate ragdolls, even if you tweak them a bit people will notice. Does your SDoF work? If so use that in every picture, or well.. alot. SDoF just gives it that hard work feel. Anyways, just work on the flaws and you'll start getting better.
Haha damn you guys know...The running soldiers a lie! K guys I got some more pics..Now these ones arent Photshopped or anything just taking some raw photos to get a feel of Modern ones. [img]http://img63.imageshack.us/i/gmecm0002.jpg/[/img]

I see what you mean by the scene from the MW2 campaign. More trees. More grass. This is scene building. Everytime you take a screenshot max out your graphics, even if you have the framerate of 2 frames perseconds, choose your angle. Max out graphics. SDoF it up. Save screenshot. Profit.
Alright but like I said its a raw photo of my Modern Scenes..I am going to try to work on a quick firefight scene and I'll make it beutifull. Keznie will be taking the pictures from now on since he has the better graphics card. And I guess we will be working seperatly now so...We'll see how things work out.
It may not be much, but I made three examples for you:
[B]UNORIGINAL:[/B]
[IMG]http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af189/TheLtGreen/dod_avalanche0000.jpg[/IMG]
There is nothing cool or diffrent about it. Just another boring, uncool, pose...
[B]HALF WAY THERE...[/B]
[IMG]http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af189/TheLtGreen/dod_avalanche0001.jpg[/IMG]
Alright! Now we are getting somewhere! You used better models instead of standard and unclassic models, better looking weapons, a custom 1911 Colt Pistol (Not yours! This is my own...) It just needs that extra touch...(Flash, Blur, and finger/face posing..) It also shows you need post-editing. [I]ANYONE[/I] can do post editing, but what about in game...
[B]TADA![/B]
[IMG]http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af189/TheLtGreen/dod_avalanche0007.jpg[/IMG]
Congratulations! You just made a great action scene! The fact you used [B]IN GAME[/B] editing shows you are a professional! You used better models, guns, bullet wounds, actors, blood, bullet effects, and even flashes! You,sir, are a posing genius!
I think you want the [B]TADA[/B] example if I were you...Shows you can make good poses.
Alright, Ill try my best to make some good scenes but Kenzie going rouge kinda fucked this whole thing up...

That picture is ugly as sin.
dude, if you are going to try to show off ingame editing, you should probably learn to be good at it first.
[url=http://a.imageshack.us/img576/8664/sector.jpg]This is what ingame editing should look like[/url]
Hey guys sorry I havent posted anything recently I've been busy with school. But I just had a pretty good idea...Im going to make a WW2 scene but it will be unique. No D-Day shit or Paratrooper missions or action scenes. I am thinking about making a Comic even. I have gotten Photoshop and will try my hardest to make the best screenshot possible.
you know,improving your posing should be your priority here
Yes! The posing is infact the source of the awesomeness of most pictures.
Edit;
[QUOTE=The Vman;14557097]If you are going to attempt to edit a picture. It will be a futile effort if the pose its self isn't that good. Allow me to put this into a tasty food metaphor. Lets say that the pose is a cake and the editing is the icing. If you have a nasty tasting cake, you can't just put good icing on it and expect it to be good. The opposite is true too, if you have a really good cake, bad icing will ruin it. So only edit a picture that is good, and if you find that you are no good at editing, chances are that the unedited picture will be received better than the edited one.[/QUOTE]

shit you ain't kidding :aslol:
the heilcopter needs to be replaced by a pavelow on the other hand nice job
Jesus Christ I keep getting side tracked. Still working on that screenshot guys. Give it 3 days maybe 2
ow oops didn`t read the "im making a comic post" -snip-
The only things that bother me are the random explosions, the "statue dupe" ragdolls and the lack of dead people.

Well it was out first screenshot. We didnt really think about adding tons of stuff.

And guys I did a quick thing on Gmod today with ODST's. It is edited but in-game editing and I used the sample of The Greens picture. I would like to say I think its the TADA sample. Damnit I cant make it come up though. But im gonna launch up Garrys Mod and make a pleasable one for you guys.
Gee, it might help if they were FIRING THEIR FUCKING GUNS
