Posting early because I got a busy morning at university
Discovered a tribe called quest this week
No regrets. Loving it.

Anyways...

This is fantastic! It's like a team line up shot or something and the pale to bright/dark blue tones throughout the whole picture is awesome too. A great example of good lighting. I especially like that each model has their own thing or look completely different from teh one before/after but all fit in quite well. If I had to mention anything I dislike, why the one dude in the back? Would've removed him IMO but aside from that great work Piggo.

So so so cute and so so so cool, feels mega alive for such a small thing. Hope this is for a game or there's bigger ideas because it's coolio. Nothing bad about this chief just wish there was more.

This is good, and it is on the way to being great. Here's what happened from my view; you posed all the soldiers and they've been cut into the picture amazingly. but, the colour behind doesn't look right, and neither does the text which changes colours and font. I'm not sure what to reccomend... if you could imagine with me that the background was grey instead of the beige it out match the IG a bit more. I haven't dabbled in 40K for a while but I don't think r/b/y is really their colours either. Posters gotta be super continuous in design bro and this is close just the colours are off.

We don't do second submissions here usually, so I chose the one I prefer.
This to me feels much more creative, and I really really really like the prism in the middle, I bet you can make some really aesthetic stuff with just some glowing shapes like that (idk how much of this is post edited like the glowing and such). Good work, can't wait to see what you experiment with next.

Idk what it is, but I am indeed uncomfortable.
Very reminiscent of r/imsorryjon.

Me no draw me no give good feedback but I try.
It's good, but it looks half complete which I mean in a nice way! Just because the lines look a bit sketchy still as in it's a work in progress. I can tell a lot of time went on the hand so I assume this was a bit of anatomy study or attempt thingy. I like it, would like to see if you work on it more :^))).

I based it off of old WW2 recruitment posters more than anything, I really don't care if it "matches" with the aesthetic of 40K.

@Danny Felt it added but honestly it was because i was gonna do just her in the middle and fill the back with anonymous soldiers but decided against it, agreed, it doesn't really add to it

Week good.
1 Post? Ez judge ez life.

This is mega big, and mega in depth. Looks like a screenshot for something more than a poster though IMO. Given the rather in depth scene behind all the text but this is a good piece of graphic design I can criticise. Ok so, first gripe, why so many red letter capitalisation? It's good to have at some points like the beginning of sentences but it's like a heartbeat. The only thing I personally think is good about it is that it's a consistent pattern of design throughout the picture/poster. Secondly, mega dark like needlessly dark in some stages. Some brighter colours on the border of the image and the banner behind the text could've been a big benefit or atleast how I personally woulda done it. Like if it looked more like a paper poster that way. In summary:
very in depth for a poster add, very dark, red starting letters kinda weird but kinda cool, could've done with looking more like a paper poster.

It's still really good! I do love it, just no one else posted so gotta write about soooomething.
Keep it up

You're the winner, hope you found my feedback useful!

Been doing some more of that 3d stuff.
C4D is definitely more beginner friendly than blender from my experience. Still a pain to use tho.

All three images are of the same scene so i thought it best to include them together.
Most of the buildings were sourced from the C4D libraries and some others were made by kitbashing what i could find together.

Uni stressing me out like mega guys and people's vibes including mine are totally off.
But only 3 posts to review? Ok.

Pretty shapes, yes. Pretty and also dull colours, yes. Great composition and thought of placement and lighting that cast a e s t h e t i c shadows over a city scape? hell yeah. It's great, I love it and am glad you're trying out something new too. I'd say they're a bit 'empty' but I feel there's a point to that as well, like you could easily say it's on the way to being something just as easily as you can say the pictures are complete. If I could suggest ONE thing, that I woulda loved to see - like orangey sunset lighting instead. Like a gradient of dark shadow to orange idk how to explain. Actually kinda reminiscent of the empty city scenes in Inception too. Coolio.

A selection of poses? Of different and unique characters? With great shading and lighting + editorial choices afterwards? Typography? Oh my goodness it's perfect! They're all posed so naturally as well. I hope these were as thought out as they look. Fantastic. Seriously nothing to add or complain about imo.

Awesome piece, I especially like this one as it doesn't seem like out of place texturing. Every background and minor detail seems to be so well done. From the rain hitting water, all the way to the great dark lighting in the backgroud... which brings me onto my one gripe, this guy bright as heck but the background and everything is quite dark? I cannot decide if it's dark out or just really cloudy but if it were the latter should the rest of the scene be brighter as well? It's a great simple posture as well, so like all the minor things are great but he main subject of the picture IN MY OPINION, sticks out as if he was shopped in with a greenscreen cus of how bright he is? You get me? It's coo' though, you've made something noice :^).

I wouldn't see any issue with them being posted here in raw link.
It's an art form to release workshop models : )
