imgur is trash, i'm trying to upload it again after it fucked up the compression first time but it keeps crashing

i think i got it

 

[MaXenzie]

psychedelic as fuck, trippy as hell, with cool faceposing to boot. a neat background on what looks like a drug-filled rollercoaster or cart ride. the distort effect looks out of place though

oh snap a new thread. i haven't been around much but I found some new desire for sfm posing, so I made a map for sfm since most of the maps don't fit what I'm going for and made this.

Spoiler: Large Image

i'll post how i did it on my profile latter as i do

hng.
its a good picture, but sadly, nothing i havent seen before. @lemon can testify to the amount of images that are nearly identical to this in both style and structure. there isnt much color to speak of, only 1 major light throughout, and the grain effect has no apparent purpose being there besides to add unnecessary grit. the camera is too far away to instil any kind of emotion, people are staring at nothing outside, etc. lots of improvements you can make to this to make it really unique and interesting.
but again, its a good picture. i criticize it because i think you can really go somewhere with this as a basis.

​

looks like it'll build up to something good

Here's my entry

besides the janky as fuck leg, this is as expected, an RGB picture. astounding as always

due to a lack of entries and an amount of WIP work, i vote for
no winner, passover week. i will re-review these next week, along with new entries
feel free to update them in the meantime

This image is not supposed to shine with color as it is meant to convey a hopeless scene.
The rebel is looking out for trouble as one would in their position and the Citizen is looking for hope in the shitty universe, not staring at anything in specific. The rebels are harrasing the Citizens trying to live a normal life, as shown by the aggresive expression given by the armed rebel. I'd like to see some examples of similar style and structure if you can so I can became unique in my style. If you could give more specifics as I don't see what could be done other some posing improvments.

Excusez moi, what the fuck. It's my round

@Dudu Fadende, although the blur effect could be done with something else than the smudge tool, it still has it's style. I'm a sucker for bright colors and over the top styling, so it's quite obvious that this one takes the cake. Very nice posing with the guy on the right, and I'm not just talking about his face, he actually has some proper grip on the steering wheel, and trust me, I've seen many people posing it badly. You're a pro at this point, so Imma skip going overly into details and just gonna say that it's a hit, rather than miss.

@RGB, doing artsy stuff under influence is known to be the most effective for ages now. I mean, the poet you learn most about in Polish schools (Adam Mickiewicz if you're curious) was known for taking schrooms and other available drugs while writing his works, which kind of explains why they're so hard to understand.
I do not recommend taking them tho, they're a big no-no. Either way, bootsie spidor takes a dear place in my heart

If you want a proper review tho

Soldier is the most fun class in TF2, glad that you recognise that fact. Nice depth of field with slightly blurry background and excellent shadows. I'd maybe make these boots a lil' bit smaller, plus give less focus on the main gal, and more on the scenebuilding that you do so neatly. Also, these clouds look fluffy as fuck, keep on doing that, real nice

@MaXenzie, I honestly really respect how much movement can you catch in your shots. It's a JoJo meme, yet you can literally feel his moves, as weird as it sounds. Real proud of you, I might lift your ban one time

Also

If you could, please update your lighting guide. You know far more than many of us about proper use of lighting, and I could sure as hell learn more for my super secret projects. Color wise, this one is a real eyecandy, lovely to look at

@Antloin, art truly takes many forms. Send me a link for that addon, looks like something I could get @Zak to put on the server for 10$

@Pict, I'm going to agree with @MaXenzie and extend that reward of yours to the next week, if that's ok with you

If you guys need any inspiration, I'm going to recommend you espionage, like in that scene in Inglourious Basterds​

IDK I've just been messing around with Photoshop recently. This will be my submission until I'm done with my mega-scenebuild next week.

Spawn a lot of black holes on the prop in the sky, then spawn a lot of props near the blackhole and it should form a ring. Prop's weight depends where it'll spin.

Crap like this is why I don't do scenebuilds.

 

[Mickey Toast]

He really liked that horse.

the lighting style i use currently is immensely complicated and would require a tutorial the likes of which you have never seen

it uses lights with the intent purpose of not being seen
