Now I know I said I needed help with lighting - leme elaborate on that. You see, if I were doing this in black and white, I couldve managed the lighting. Trouble is, I have very little idea how to pull it off in color. In color! God dammit!

Dyou at least get a basic idea of whats going on here on those terms?

is he crawling through ducts or something?

Shaded · Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2001 8:26 pm

Yes, yes he is.

Top down perspective - though it could be anything, really...

yo man what up! nice pic i have a suggetion..... maybe beside him (to his right, where there is a black space you could put a city scape! like looking down or something on the city) i think it would make it more dramatic! as for the lighting i dunno just pic a light soruce and go from there =/

I love the dutone coloring, and the lighting you've got. just great.

Here's some suggestions. I'm looking at the mans left arm (the one to our right, for you directionally illiterate(sp?)) and thinking, man did this dude break his arm? The length between his shoulder and his elbow seems to short, and the angle at which his arm is bent (and posed "behind") feels akward. I'd do a quick study of yourself in a mirror, or a friend, attempting that pose.

Woot, nay, Ill have to hang my head guiltily on that one - I intended to keep the number of people in the picture restriced to one. [That besides adding another body would jam things up too much]

Now, what im worried about is detail on the city, and [shudder] backlighting...

Shaded · Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2001 12:23 am

Ay yes, the more I stare at that arm, the more wrong it looks...Ill have to fix that.

This is the latest update.
