A man and woman investigate an abandoned structure. (Unedited) - Garry's Mod

I wanted to try my hand at the concept of unedited images, nothing was done in photoshop to either of these.. and I admit nothing about them is spectacular. I just wanted to share what I posed with FP. Also, I may be having issues with my monitor in terms of brightness and decay, so I need someone to tell me how the brightness looks on both images if ya can, too. On one of my LCD monitors it looks bright and low contrast, where on the other it looks fine. Zoey cradles her rifle and examines the room while the man in the gas mask behind her inserts a fresh magazine into his AK. Somewhat post apocalyptic themed this is.

Obviously, she, been a rare specimen of woman, does not know correctly how to hold a weapon.

She was going to shoot it like that :downs:

Because that's how you hold a rifle :downs:

The way she is holding the rifle is in typical fashion of American soldiers from WW2. I forget what the correct name of the carry position was called, but it was essentially carrying your rifle cradled under your arm and against your armpit.

That... That light ray... Volumetric lamps addon I assume?

Yep, a light beams addon.

Holy shit a Zoey reskin that looks [i]good[/i] (also I approve strongly of her taste in beverages) oh, and nice picture too. really nice. [editline]10:40PM[/editline] but use a different host, compression out the wazoo

What do you recommend for hosting? I've always used imageshack or photobucket personally.

i use my own ftp as i know there's no limits on res or size and zero compression, but in lieu of that, i'm sure someone here could suggest something. imageshack and in particular photobucket are by far the worst offenders for compression; looking back on some of my old pictures uploaded there, they look like they were taken on jpeg_quality 1, then printed, used as toilet paper, and scanned.

girls arent people!

Her lips are incredibly rouged to be urbexing.

[QUOTE=Uberslug;25041429]girls arent people![/QUOTE] well atleast it seems the moderators are actually paying attention to this section. you should do some mod apps for screenshot section mods.

[QUOTE=Hairybastard;25040179]Sounds like a normal woman to me.. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Sexism" - Uberslug))[/highlight][/QUOTE] Oh noes. Why he was banned?

I don't believe there are section mods per se anymore. We have subforum mods like me, so they will have more responsibilities than just this section. I'm not really sure how the whole mod apps thing works because I was gone for like 3 weeks [editline]04:43PM[/editline] [QUOTE=TimSkap;25041737]Oh noes. Why he was banned?[/QUOTE] says in the reason ;)

[QUOTE=Hairybastard;25040179]Sounds like a normal woman to me.. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Sexism" - Uberslug))[/highlight][/QUOTE] ironically i know more women who are clued in on guns than i know people on this forum who are!!!

Reminds me of Dead Rising. Awesome.

Look at that [url=http://uppix.net/f/a/4/da87ce4dd48e32041cd21f533ca79.jpg]old pose[/url] and tell me he doesn't old his gun "properly". Well, cool pictures but you should try to work on the shading more.

Since I suck at constructive criticism, I'm just going to say that it looks great! Could the poser tell a poor, screenshot section begger where he could obtain those models?

The guy in the gasmask looks like a pre-infection hunter. Is it?

[QUOTE=rossmum;25043836]yeah, if i'm going to need to use one hand while holding my enfield i do the same.[/QUOTE] Finally, someone else who knows what I'm talking about. [QUOTE=latin_geek;25048575]The guy in the gasmask looks like a pre-infection hunter. Is it?[/QUOTE] Yeah it is. [QUOTE=Beak Doctor;25047153]Since I suck at constructive criticism, I'm just going to say that it looks great! Could the poser tell a poor, screenshot section begger where he could obtain those models?[/QUOTE] You can find all of the stuff around the models/skins releases forum and garrysmod.org. I used the Irish/Celtic Zoey and the human hunter. Weapons are from wystans magless pack.

You dumbass zoey. Turn around, you're gonna get pounced!!!.

ingame this is good but you forgot a huge and very important factor: contrast. this picture lacks a lot of it. lots of midtones and lots of gray. you need to raise the contrast and darken the picture, and most of all DEFINITELY do not be afraid of placing lamps and lights. you can use bloom and color correction and really brighten up a picture because once you throw on sdof, the picture's brightness gets cut in half every time.

Yeah, one of the faults of those lamp rays is that it cuts my contrast I've noticed.

Pretty much all that's needed to be said has been already. I really like the lighting coming from the opening in the building there. [QUOTE=BigBoom;25036727]Obviously, she, been a rare specimen of woman, does not know correctly how to hold a weapon.[/QUOTE] ...Or is just holding it in a more comfortable manner. Who says she's going to be shooting like that? Does it look like she's in battle?

[QUOTE=rossmum;25042422]ironically i know more women who are clued in on guns than i know people on this forum who are!!![/QUOTE] Because gun knowledge is crucial for day to day survival in modern society!
