My first image made in SFM. Thoughts? C&C appreciated.

its an incredibly good first image but i think theres way too much emptiness in the background
still really good though
I think such emptyness highlights the combine guy and add a good feeling of lonely man hunting for rebels.
Your first is better than a lot of people's current skills, great work.
Thanks for the feedback everybody! Glad you liked it.
I was originally going to populate the background with some zombies, but the materials spawned all wonky and overly reflective. I've heard this is due to a shader conflict in the VMTs, so I'll have to look into it.

Blue chick with knife.
I like to theorize that Widowmaker is blue because she's actually a reanimated corpse.
Which would make all the porn of her extra creepy.
Testing out Mirrors Edge models for znalecc
They are really nice, especially the cop models.

Personally I believe that while the contrast in the edit is nice, the loss of detail really detracts from the composition.[/QUOTE]
This is threadworthy. I think the contrast is good. Make us focus more on the lightsource by the bar.

Reminds me of the guy on the right in this picture. Russian soldiers in Chechnya:

Got a free trial for the new PS version, so I decided to use this to make some of my latest images a bit better. My custom rain particle was all white squares for some reason so I had to make use without it. C&C is welcome especially on my edit.

Couldn't resist in making a picture using that pizza addon in SFM workshop. So, I decided to make a pizza-related picture.[/QUOTE]
The background arcade machines have exceptionally low sampling quality. Before rendering your final poster right click on the viewport, hit progressive refinement, and up the samples from "Use Camera Settings" (Which is 8) to the maximum for each category. Also, I'd work on your lighting. It's painfully flat, though admittedly relatively realistic in a cartoon like sense. Works for your subject matter.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/FOeF1ki.png[/t][/QUOTE]the idea is great and the posing and angle work well but you should start putting much less emphasis on the "fill" lights of your scenes - all of your stuff looks so flat because of the way you use, or rather DON'T use sharper shadows and lighting. in this scene the helicopter spotlight is in a perfect spot to give everything a nice dose of sharp rimlighting (like in the fan art piece), but it just isn't there. instead the focus of the lighting scheme is on the blue and green, which doesn't really make sense in the context of the apparent time of day and atmospheric lighting; if the colors are light reflected from the sea, they should be way darker.

It shall be fixed
Edit:
It is fixed with minor botched lighting and absolutely MIA skeletons in all the line infantry

And SFM wasn't murdering memory like last night so I added in what I originally wanted to
just messing around in the ol' photoshop, accidentally exported it as png and didn't save the psd so gotta thumb it

[sp]Finally did a pic I'm satisfied with, thanks to Luxuria/Jimmies for the help with commands and such.[/sp]
camouflage on a really shiny rubber costume is probably going to be useful
and yes bright blue power armor is much more practical i will not argue about this
