[Piggo]

why the fucking gigantic PNG

 

[Lokinase]

to flex on them low-internet-speed

 

[Piggo]

"low internet speed"

PNGs load slowly regardless of internet speed, they're fucking shit for posters.
SFM's got an option for exporting as JPEG or TGA, just use those.

I only have one question.

Why is the sniper aiming at the sky?

I only have one question.

Why is the sniper aiming at the sky?

ah right, that I can explain; I was trying to replicate this box art for miniature figures

but, i suck at making people crouch so i gave up and he just kinda stayed there as i improvised on the scene.

Im really enjoying the close up one of the sniper. Looks like it's a screenshot from a WW2 game

final post from me and hopefully @Lemon Cuntcake will take over again

I ain't a drawer, but there is some talent here. I'm just waiting for the day you do something different than a profile shot and push yourself to break a boundary or two, that being said - proportion and colour wise there's some good compliment going on. You gotta take this next level if you wanna get a win from it though imo, nice work.

Very well composed image that isn't overwhelmed by the amount of DOF used just behind the man. Some very good colour balance as well, seeing how the bottom left builds its way to the middle at the top. The one discrepancy, that you can't be blamed for because I've used these models, is the lack of shade on the mans forehead, that judging by the angle of the light and shadows behind him - should be a bit darker. Good work though bro. Might've given you a second win but thought nah.

This ain't all to bad, looks like it could have done with some refinement though. For a first crack though, I am impressed. Two flaws I see is the glaring white that looks so glossy compared to the rest of the image. And 'Not to die' isn't really the best english that could have been used. If that grey had a concrete texture behind it too, then you could be onto something. Try this again some time because I'm a sucker for poster design :grinning:.

Oooh, I see you took what I said into effect. And it has worked out pretty well in my mind but it's still missing some epic edgy text or something. The colour balance in the images is super good as well. Keep up these images boi. I like your style still and more edits will get u a big W ;^). I wanna see somE MADE EDITS cus you got the potential.

Pretty standard looking post, I cannot tell if it's a scene build or not but by judgement of the props it looks like part of a map. A better angle could've suited this dry scene a bit more - gotta over exaggerate the poses and weapons cqc poses imo. (I.e if the camera was a bit closer to the man on the left, looking right in). Always do muzzle flashes in post, cannot rely on source engine to produce good light sometimes. Keep it up man.

Nice editing skills, nice posing, nice profile shot and colours. But no win for you. Haven't got much bad to say about it aside from the needless 4K. Could've just downscaled it after rendering ie > 4k > 2k >1080 >720. Nice work though.

A fitting return, with clear experience in posing models accurately and with precision, all it would require is a scene with better lighting than the ones provided. Keep up this work, that first pose coulda been a winner with a tighter camera fov and better lighting.

The winner this week:
@Pale Rider

There is something so astoundingly original that I take from this simple ass damn picture. The colour, resolution, level of grain, and silhouetted lighting works so well. Only gripe is the weird line/cut in the bottom right. Top notch in presentation otherwise.

Coolio.

Yeah, I was going to have someone just looming above in the tunnel watching down onto them and I also just wanted to make a pose that somewhat related to the Iron Maiden song
