@Zomba, even though it's a meme, I really like the lighting on it. The mix of three hard colors is actually working out in this one, plus that use of particles coming from behind is also looking good. Can't say no to this one fam,

@Cookie_, even though it's properly done, it suffers from one problem, that is it being boring. Nothing is happening there. It's a perfect background, but it needs to be behind /something/. You could add more stuff in and create "mini-stories", like someone being taken away from his wife, or anything alike that'd just thicken the atmosphere. It's suitable for a wallpaper though, a very clean one, because of not much actually being there, so if this was what you were aiming for, you did good.

overall either way, I like it regardless


@Cavity, pretty cool concept and not too bad construction of the scene, even though the camera could be aimed and zoomed a bit more to the right, on the civilians, plus there should be some emotions thrown into the mix, something like tension, anger, violence, or maybe even sorrow, it helps to create a good story, which your artwork should represent. I would also rework the lighting from being harsh white to maybe something else, like soft blue mixed with yellow, anything that makes your pose original and good. It's still quite good though, keep on doing it


@karl-police, it's honestly, it's literally just a screenshot of a scanner flying towards the camera doing nothing but flashes light at you, that doesn't even blind, but just fogs your vision a little. I'd completely rework your concept and either put that scanner into some dark, atmospheric setting where his light could actually do something (here), or just focus on the scanner itself and light it up from various angles, making sure it looks as great, as it possibly can (here). There are guides on our subforum and I'd reccomend you to look at them

So yeah, obviously @247-0006-0001 'Jimbo' and @Scone ! won this time, which makes me think if should I let them win next time

I'd just focus on the resolution Jimbo, you got everything else covered

Your best one so far Scone, love that you don't just make it B&W and without background anymore​

I give you sfm file?

[FieldersNL]

I made these four today and I can't choose wich one is the best. Again, I did not use any photoshop on this, purely Gmod and it's tools.​

 

[steambored]

how to die before you finish reloading

how to die before you finish reloading

that isnt reloading, that's just loading the bullet.

but on the other hand you're still correct, loading a gun makes an audible sound and since he's also sticking out all the cop needs to do is raise the gun and pull the trigger. though he might get one or two with that pistol if he has good quick-draw and the cops react too late, but even then the cops are ineffective, one on the left has tunnel vision, he has no need to watch the target on the ground whilst he could be doing looking forward down the hall, the cop on the right is in a weird position and standing style, the direction he's looking at is strange as well, if he's taking cover behind a wall like that then he's right by an entrance to a room, however he's not paying any attention towards it, so what is his purpose?

remember, people still need to be positioned correctly with a purpose and fulfilling their role.

for example those people rappelling down, as much as it may look cool and i wouldnt mind it being left at that, its pretty ineffective to have no one covering them from above as they rappel down, they're pretty easy targets to shoot at especially with the flashlights, all someone has to do in the dark is to shoot straight at the light source.

It's not supposed to be tactical like that for these. It's just cinematic. Good critic though. Also the second picture, the rebel is chambering the gun, not "loading a bullet" The guy in the back is also sliding the charge on the ar15. The guy on the right by the entrance of a room, is well breaching it with another. However he is glancing to the left so the camera can see his visor lights, for cinematic view. The Officer with tunnel vision is well, yes just watching the situation with the citizen on the ground. After all, it's interesting to him. He isn't worried about the other rooms, it's just an apartment run. They're unaware of the presence of Resistance. Question... how come I don't see this type of response on other "cinematic" photos.

i dont criticize everything and my activity on the forum has become a lot less than i would have been back a year+ ago. also im aware that its chambering, i just go with what comes to mind at the moment plus its technically the definition of chambering regardless.

though i understand the whole cinematic view, i do that sometimes as well, but again im more of a tactical loving guy anyway thats why i dont criticize cinematic ones as much.

So you've redacted your statement. Because you did criticize these cinematic ones. As well, it's not the same definition as chambering, because the gun was already loaded, but the bullet wasn't fed through. Which is why you slide the charge back to chamber it. I'm not trying to seem like an ass or anything, it's just simply the fact that it was cinematic, and it's clear that it is. Anyways, no harm no foul.
