Completed [Competition] Art of The Week

[lemon]

Another short one, plus I'm making it sooner this time

@MisterEasy, as I said before, it's gorgeous, but please, for the love of Christ almighty, use bigger resolution. You're doing an absolutely perfect work in terms of lighting, posing and everything else, but this resolution just fucks you up and completely blocks you off from making your poster wallpaper worthy. Please fam, do it. It's still

tho

@dredix, it lacks of pretty much everything to be quite frank. You do have action in the middle of your poster, but it's so far away from the camera that you can't see it. Besides that fight scene there, you have absolutely zero interesting things going on around, or to be fair nothing going on at all. You'd need to fix everything to be frank: posing, lighting, camera angle, etc. Look up the guides we have here man

@Pict, making a photo with a good camera doesn't necessarily make your photo good. You just took a picture of two pots and added a little detail. It's not much, really. Some proper camera you got there though

@lil a, some bomb ass tips they were indeed, your lighting is far better than in the previous one. It's still just a portrait though, even though it's a properly made one. Good work with shadowing his left side, but you could've also delete any light on that side in the background, so it'd be completely dark there. Still, really good one,

Even though what Evil said kinda messes the picture up, it's still a great one
So yeah, @Elan, you win this one more time

Lighting isn't happy with that model.

Did you turn up Radius?

I just did some random stuff really. Model, lighting and map were just what I had in mind

Well the lighting has a style.

The model isn't very good, I think it's the TF2 zombie soldier model but I'm not sure, it's too dark and the beard doesn't fit.

And the map might be 2Fort night but no idea.

posing good lighting on the soldier good just I feel the whole black background doesn't add up for me, probably light it up partially or just crop it out to give it a portait vibe.

Weak volumetric light for that blue colour should do the trick.

Model is the normal Casual Soldier
Map is dark_2fort or whatever the path was

I don't just make these for generic handwaves and dismissals in judging because I post so often.
I do actually come here for the feedback and find it very valuable, everyone else gets it but I rarely ever do and it frustrates me.
These take a lot of my time, a few words beyond a cool dude emoticon would go a long way.

detail the gun more, work on overall shading + add detail to the trousers, i really have no comment / idea as to what the background is though so eh can't talk on that

Lost all respect for myself.
Was at terminal hotel and spotted a Soviet soldier staring at me from their FOB's wall.
I decide to start jumping around and zig zag left and right to make him shoot at me and cause him to miss to take the piss.
He shoots one bullet and makes me drop down to incap....
[doublepost=1498605825][/doublepost]Fuck, that was for the meme thread.

thought i should make a wasteland-ish boat settlement thing and it ended up being too messy and ugly because i rushed the last few hours

4k - 8k

@Scone ! You've got a solid style. I especially dig the abstract clothing, overall it reminds me of a youtube channel called "Feature History" if it were blended with Archer.

However, if I may, one or two remarks: Apart from detailing the gun, in my opinion you should detail the wrist as much as you did the ear. Perhaps draw something to show off the knuckles? Also, the background isn't really fitting for the style you'r going. I feel it would be best to make it more ambient/more abstract.

Otherwise, it feels whole.

I appreciate the feedback and agree that the weapon and hand needs detail and, being honest, I sort of wrote them off as a "I can not be bothered to detail" that moment. As for the background, it sort of reflects the character but yes, it clashes very heavily with my own style. I suppose I'm still trying to figure out how to do backgrounds to begin with.

As thanks for this minor feedback here's 90 minutes worth of scribbling.

The gun handle, the part the hand is holding, should be wider than the mag, the gun requires atleast a bit more detail and is also missing the little cap at the top which you use to load the bullet into the gun after inserting a fresh mag.

The hair seems just a liiiiittle too big and it a bit irritates me on the left side. Also the shirt is too black, along with the pants that it makes it look likes it's a onesie seperated by a belt for me. Mainly because of the colors and no detail discerning the shirt and pants
