Completed [Competition] Art of The Week

[MaXenzie]

the lighting is a bit bright, at least the background lighting

if you'd darken it a little and brighten the lamp's light marginally, give it some bounce with small, shadowless and low-intensity lights, you could make a great lighting effect

third one if you make the bloom a bit more orange-ish

Ah, the days of Stanley Parable.
The final photo you posted is my favourite.

Negative space done right, especially in dimly lit office areas.
The lighting spreads out across to see the focus of the computer and reflects off it nicely (however somehow looks a tiny bit dark, as the light is right next to it, still good tho)

Imo I think that's a shit ton of particle effects in the rays of the light but also looks nicely done and evenly spread so nice one, b

Picture ends nicely in the middle, with a cherry on top of a lens flare in the bottom left corner to finish it off so :ok:

Anything to improve? The metallic of the lamp shows a bit, but that's not really a big deal.
All in all p good and I really like

• Lighting is perf (apart from oddly dark computer screen side)
• Hella lot of particles, but since they're quite evenly spaced it looks lovely
• very nicely edited

On a serious note tho, we all know that how much I love hitting the desk out of anger, because I need to repeat the same advices over and over again. However, I won't always be able to do that, I have a real life you know. I'm barely making it now tbf, but I'm keeping

all the time

Idk, but for some special occasions I'll definitely put someone else as the jury, hell, for some rounds we might have a big group of juries or smth

Contrast is a little too high, it's almost pitch black in most places.

It's the map I am using. I could link you to the workshop page if you like.

I didn't even notice them...

If it isn't in game, I guess he drew a line in Photoshop, copied everything above the line on a new layer, flipped it and set the mode to lighter colour so all the lights showed reflections, added a gaussian blur.
