I'm reaching a point where I've been looking at this for too long. I'd love to hear some C&C!
I agree with Tim on the lighting and contrast. It's a great feel but it's almost as if the ambient is leveling everything out.
Since the fires draw your eye I would add either some chairs/benches(stumps maybe) to give the fire some purpose. Also add some red/orange to the smoke particle for a second or two near the fire to help reinforce the light source.
What is that for?
Man there's so much good stuff here. Endless inspiration. :cheers:
Dude I hope you leave the old content accessible somewhere, that stuff is golden, I grew up oogling it!!!
I agree! The new sculpt is badass, but please just rename the old html pages, and leave a link somewhere on the new website for the old one. Even as just a learning resource to look at how textures are painted, it's invaluable.
And as Tim mentioned, lighting is going to be a big factor in breaking up the background,midground and foreground.
I absolutely agree! I'm going to crank up the saturation and brightness of a few of my lights, and crush the blacks in my shadows a bit more. Hopefully that'll help my lighting pop a bit better!

I've been trying to avoid cluttering the areas around the fires as it's fairly tight at the moment. But I'll figure something out!
Im going to model the beasts castle don't know whether its going to be the light cast or the dark one but this is what i got. comments, critiques ?
I like it, but I think you should keep the slope of the staircase consistent (where it's not flat) and a sharp transition from sloped to horizontal on the side rail.
Also the columns should be consistently vertical, like this:
@ ParoXum that's looking loads better! Loving the dramatic lighting that goes with the composition. Just a bit hard to tell what the whole scene might be...Swett.
Sweet sculpt spitty!
Yeah the question remains unanswered! What's the use? I'll let people figure out.
I did a quick paintover on the HP viewport grab, getting close to what I need to start the lowpoly on the left panels. The arm is still wip, and the center tower still undefined. But it's getting there soon.
Something Im working on, its a creature from the TV series Doctor Who. I started off with
a polyshere, and now I have done a reto, and Im about to start the fine details.

I assume its sucking, electrical guys? Who you don't remember seeing? It is looking awesome but I think the jaw was a bit longer and stretched? If that makes sense?

are you kidding? first WIP of this I saw I instantly recognized it as based on one of the HL2 concept pieces, it's for the atmospheric processor or something? i just assumed everyone else recognized it too
JGcount : She shows promise, but even in that pose, she's feeling quite stiff. Maybe bring the feet in a bit more and give a bit more shape to the extremities. There may be examples around here of 45 degree poses that are more relaxed.

Yeah they shoot electricity through there and It looks like they take in air in there cheeks. I see what your saying about the jaw, Im gonna work on it some more..Thanks for the note, I didn't really notice it till you said it.
Really good work, reminds me a little of Max Payne 2 haha. You should try tuning down the depth of field a little bit, kinda exagerated, this is the kind of depth you'd have bokeh with, which is not the case right now. The depth itself is ok, it's the power that seems weird, little too blury.
Muzz> Cool stuff! Totally reminds me of the old Amiga game "Persian Gulf Inferno".
Probably due to the vest and rather small handgun, and of course the side-scrolling nature.
Looks nice Muzz, but some of the animation looks a little stiff. I can't tell what happens before the jump and after he stops running. I get the impression that he has run into a wall, rather than realised there is a jump and stopping abruptly. Maybe there should be a little slow down and less 'hands in the air'.

Dummy, are you using the 'find edges' filter in PS? It looks a little strong on those rocks, if you have! I always find it's nice to use 'blend if' options in PS and lower the opacity to just highlight the edges.
wildstar fan art! (wip) also practicing hand paintin stuffs
Your pixel density is all over the place. Shoulder pads are blurrier than the face, and the thingy on his chest is very pixelated. Hopefully it wouldn't be too much effort to fix, but I think it might be if you have to re-UV to make everything the same size ratio! You would have to chop up your original texture in this case too... looks great though.

Looking good dude, came a good ways since I saw it last.
