Please look at this and tell me what's wrong, what I need to add ...etc

Everything was painted in 2d except the gun, the planes and the building which were made in 3dsmax. I know the 3d stuff looks bad but it was my first try at 3d. All the trees were made in painter 6 with the image hose, which feels like cheating.

When you get your concept together, figure out what form of digital medium you want to do it in and stick with that or have a really good repetoire of ways to blend them together. The painted guy stands out way too much to the CGesque backgrounds. If the guy were modelled in CG, this peice would hold together much better. And don't put a speed blur on just one object in the painting if everything is supposed to be in motion.. THe reason, The camera, your eye, i.e. your image, has captured a moment in time. Everything else in this moment in time has movement in the actions, but it is not visible. But one object in the image has a blur on it. That object becomes a focal point, and the now confused viewer is saying to himself, is this thing moving faster than all the other moving objects, or is everything else standing still and just this one guy is moving. You could use a high intensity blur in the image if everything in your forground, or everything in your background has it, but not one object only in a fast pace scene...

[Jesus4Life]

Your right, I took away the blur and reuploaded it. I don't particularly like the 2D & 3D together either. I use the mouse so it's hard for me to draw objects with straight geometry like buildings/guns/planes. I thought I would try the 3d thing to save time. I found it difficult to seamlessly mix it with the 2d painting.

i saw what's wrong with it. His shoulder should be behind the gun. Then the neck would appear. Still good though.

Jesus, forgive m....uhhhh...

Go back to Lotors Post, Basics Still Rule. I listed a whole slew of books, including a couple on perspective that I think might help you get solid shapes into an environment.

Working in 3D, and in the 3D world in general, the other designers do this for short cuts to get drawings finished faster. I don't recommend this become your way of drawing. Really learn to draw the right way. But anyway, take a snap shot of a #d render, the one you have done, and either print it out and draw on tracing paper over the image, trace the shapes, then shade them at your leisure with the pencil. Or just take it into photoshop and trace over it on another layer with the brush tool and repaint the shapes. At least this will harmonize the whole image into one painting rather than a collage. And you built the entire thing, the models and the painting. So you aren't cheating, you made everything, it's all you...good luck
