probably one of the simplest things i've done but the editing in this makes me happy because it simulates depth of field in gerolds mod so i put it here anyway (better in fullscreen even though i still hate imgur)

Trying to figure out how I used to light my stuff and can't really figure it out.
Also I found out how to use particle effects!

Hmmm yes, very good - I especially like the angle and how its at a weird helmet angle as opposed to some FPS looking thing more to the left. It's jarring, but much more realistic-ee. Especially enjoy how there is just enough environment props to make a believable background. Nothing bad here, good stuff. I think ya should look into this kinda perspective stuff moreee

Hmmmmmmm, I do like how the silhouettes bring more focus on the main soldier. Gives the image more of an aim or target - kind of like a loading screen! Just needs some text that's like "Soldier perpetually angry and will kill you!" Idk I don't play Half Life. The scene build itself is brilliant and the posters added ontop of the screen is great :^) So yeah, think about adding text in feature or something and see if you can balance it out just right. For example I'd recommend just thing white text and keep it brief. It would look very modern

Ah,
M'chwa, perfect

Can't think of anything to add to this, maybe the most minute of details - like one or two teeny tiny rebels in the distant ruin sat by the windows or something I don't know. I think this is fab man. Looks like a real black and white ilford roll picture. Aaa

Damn you this is too dark, EXAGGERATE that darn lighting - there could be a really cool environment to go with the actions if it was actually more visible. Imagine if the man on the left with the weapon is entirely lit up with orange and looks incredibly evil, ready to shoot this guy in the back of the head. LIGHTS man LIGHTS.

A quick doodle I did about a character concept for myself. - Might tweak it a bit, and use it later as a reference pic once I apply/get the CP whitelist. Look forward to it ;p

@Antloin Yeah no images came up, must've left that out of the footnote which I meant to add
Has a solid style to it which I like, as in its in a dark space under a bright spotlight BUT the bloom effect going on around the shoulders throws things off for me personally, unless you're going for that angelic shining bright portrait look; which in that case it could've benefited from having a stronger glow. Otherwise, I personally think it's current state gives it an amateurish lighting that just needed a little more consideration. If you're on SFM there is a bloom slider on cameras, there is most likely a tool or (console) command on Gmod too. Hope there's some feedback in there that is useful, :^). I always use imgur, works great if you're not too fussy about compression

example of portraits with less 'bloom', softer lighting

This definitely ain't art of the week worthy but I'm somewhat proud of it and figured I'd post it here to look back on when I've made some decent progress with my next few projects. This is my second pose I've done on gmod, have any of you got advice for me on what I can use in terms of addons to improve?

Many thanks :)
