Those are "Chasseurs Ardennais"(Ardennes Hunters) if you want to know... [url=http://www.maisondusouvenir.be/photo.php?image=photos/albert_soyez/albert_soyez_0002.jpg]Picture here[/url]
Huge thanks to Joazz for the wonderful edit of the first picture. He have been and will always be the editing god we all know.
editing this honestly felt like polishing a turd. i sure did like the challenge, but consider these things next time
1. no more of this "white lamp illuminating the scene from infront of everything" stuff, because it kills all depth and generally looks ugly. put the light sources on the sides, behind or above the scene, but never point the lamp - ESPECIALLY a white one - directly at the scene unless there's literally a guy with a spotlight in the foreground
2. shit JPEG quality. make sure you get an uncompressed PNG (poster 1) or TGA (devshots_screenshot) and then do the post-production work with that one
3. not even the blackest night on planet Earth is that dark. use a dim light to illuminate the scene a bit in addition to the dynamic spot lights
4. please do something about the dynamic shadows
5. fire is always more orange than yellow, unless one is going for a specific color scheme where the fire has to be yellow. this applies to muzzleflashes and explosions. color your light sources accordingly
6. careful with the posing details. the STG's stock was clipping into the soldier's arm and his left wrist is in a painful position and his hand was also clipping through the handguard before i edited it
7. next time add something really bright so i have an excuse to add a big blue lens flare (this part can be ignored)

I'll sure work on that on my next screenshots, thanks for the really useful cristicism.
I agree with what Joazzz said although i'd say it is still a ok pose overall, nice work Hauptmann and Joazzz.
also you can make an exception to the lamp rule if it's not overly bright and you still have another, brighter light source somewhere else
I [I]love[/I] seeing fire done well. Nice image.
I felt like the main character had a look on his face that said "Hmm I need to shit" He just looks as if he has some sort of odd smirk on his face. Editing is really well done however.

Someone needs to make a good fire tutorial, it would be excellent.

Well, I tried to gave him an "heroic" looking face but now that you pointed that out, I must agree that you are right and that I didn't succeed into what I wanted to do.
[QUOTE=Hauptmann;43474888]Someone needs to make a good fire tutorial, it would be excellent[/QUOTE]i probably should make a thread about how i do my stuff
i have nothing to demonstrate certain things with at the moment though
