Over the past four years, Blue Castle has brought together 160 of the most talented minds in the industry, shipped three titles in the process (The BIGS, MLB Front Office Manager and The BIGS 2 all published by 2K Sports) and are currently working on Capcom’s Dead Rising 2.

Hi, welcome to polycount! Right off the bat id say your composition is interesting, id be interested to see some concept art of any references you're using! Your lighting is looking a bit intense as far as brightness which is leaving everything feeling flat I think, and your textures look very low res. Some of your rocks…
