RECKONING OF PINK TAG

[dvn]

mainly photoshop and photoshop edits aswell as photographic experiments irl, heavy use of filters
if it's not a hl2rp pose or a poster it's a vaporwave aesthetic coupled with some music
might apply for media dev if i get good enough x

Spoiler: EXPERIMENTATION/PRACTICE

18 jul 2020 - experimenting with screenshot quality overrides and reshade at lowest settings

18 jul 2020 - experimenting with photoshop, lighting and render options

20 jul 2020 - experimentation with gmod lighting, how it's soaked up, what glitches out and whatnot

testing high quality cutouts on a gmod chromakey

Spoiler: stuff that i probably actually worked on

20 jul 2020 - font hour

20 jul 2020 - lighting hour

20 jul 2020 - got artsy again, inspiration from yt vaporwave album covers

20 JUL 2020 - I JUST FIGURED THE LIGHTING OUT. LES FUCKING GO

20 jul 2020 - used a screenshot from @Baker's ROGUE event and made it even scarier than it already was

22 jul 2020 - finally figured out clipping masks and made a template for my charbio coming SOON™

3 aug 2020 - getting back into the swing of things

experimented with photoshop's 'lighting effects' tool which is actually really fucking handy

inspired by idiotdoug's 'bucket by the window' which is a gmod loading screen as of june 2020

the robot is actually super sick for that, was on my mind when i put him there
e: bladerunner is more purple lights and trails in my mind rather than pastel

I definitely think this could've been a much cooler pose if you'd done more with it than just put a robot in the sitting animation

mainly experimentation at the moment, the pose isn't important
i just make a bunch of placeholders like these, go through until one fits the criteria and then apply effects on them
i'm dogshit at posing though, should probably get a couple of bone manip tools

I always posed by hand with the physgun, it looks way more natural

i can't always get the arms or legs into fully natural positions
they either spaz out or just don't move beyond a certain point even though realistically your arm could get up there

If you're interested in going the extra mile I suggest learning Soft Lamps, you can do a lot of shit with it since it helps you upscale resolutions and also does the minor bounce light does (a.k.a if something is surrounded by something red then a small bit of red whether light source or not will reflect onto it.

already got soft lamps
don't see the difference :(

It's a minor but effective difference i.m.o. It just doesn't do it automatically. You need to type a command for it to render the rays and such.

Some guides that could help you:
