ooh very nice, although I had to turn up my Brightness rather high to see it.
Have you considered maybe adding a detailed background I think itd look good with a few drop ships or commets flying past.

Whoa, that's nice. Real nice.

Very cool! I like the idea of adding a few more ships to the background also. Good work!

Leo, Leo, Leo..do something about your monitor...I as the first person had to turn up brightnes to painfully high. I am guessing your monitor is VERY badly adjusted. Turn your contrast up, and brightnes down...if it dosent work..your monitor might be busted..or you have a funky graphics board.

I like how dark this image is. I feel like I'm there on a dimly moonlit night and this terror's staring me down and makin' me pee myself.

I don't know if I'd change it at all. I feel like the mood would be compromised.

Nice work Leo. I really like the feel... I don't think there's anything missing, no ships, etc... just a ground patrol. One thing however is that all the other mechs have spotlights, while the one facing us doesn't.

Ooo I like,I like

very nice. But as the other said, you might want to check your brightness/contrast.
Or maybe add some lamps on it.

Thanks for the input guys!
As for your brightless/contrast note, well no problems with my monitor (sony) - i see all details and shapes i've put into this image. Hmm... but i found one thing - when i save images in JPEG and view them in brouser they are all seems to be darken than in photoshop. Don't know why it's happen...

Tinusch · Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2000 4:41 pm

Yeah, I noticed that too, PS definitely lightens colors

Leo, turn off "Display Using Monitor Compensation" in File/Color settings/RGB setup

hey, yheres anothe guy sticking _x @ the end of his name... maybe if everybody does it we could be like a club.... but seriously, folks...the picture is cool. i agree with some more action in the back, i like the colour scheme and what not...nice lights...cool detail while still keeping a loos painterly feel.

have fun, _x

ummh.
Very nice picture but I think is too dark.
you must change the levels of contrast.
nothing else for the moment.:-)

cool image.

I'm backing up on Frost's comment. Why has the front mech no headlights? The ambient lightning is great but I think some more backlightning from the patrols further up the hill would enhance the silhouette feeling of the mech. Also the ground look a little sketchy at the moment, but hey - minor details.

nice work!
