So, Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day is tomorrow. I've always wanted to try something like this so now I did. It's just WWII because, well, that's what I love to pose. If people want something modern for Remembrance Day, they can make it themselves I figure.
An early tribute to those in uniform who have fallen in times of war.

Really nice pictures, and I think it was really nice of you too honor veterans like this.
-
Holy fucking shit.
That is amazing.
-
I like the packs in the first picture on the models but the clipping right in the foreground bothers me.
Other than that, nice posing and atmosphere. Sweet Bren and No.4 models too.
If you're going to use in-game muzzleflashes then make sure you take the picture with some lamps and lights and either bloom or add in some glow in Photoshop afterwards - the flash in the Russians picture looks really pasted on.
... actually if I think about it you probably just shouldn't use giant muzzleflashes like this at all considering the rest of your artistic style is so gritty and semi-realistic.
-
You're definitely right. In the German picture I actually use some light for the muzzleflash in-game and produced excellent results. It never occured to me for the Russian or British one's though for some reason...but I suppose that's what photoshop is for!
I've been meaning to change my muzzle flashes actually since they're a bit ridiculous. I used to have a more "realistic" muzzle flash but that got replaced with what you see here, some how.

this is beautiful
also the one with the Wehrmacht makes me want to finish these SS hacks I'm doing faster
I'm sure you'd love them
-
Really nice. Now make one picture with all of them high fiving eachother in heaven shouting "GG!"
-
Love it overall, you never cease to amaze me.
-
Beautiful.
-
This would be a great song for the occasion.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
-
Very nice of you to make this for Veterans Day.
-
An excellent piece of art.
-
Beautiful. Are the British and Russian models private? They look familiar but I can't seem to find them.
-
Great pic and happy Veterans day.
-
Love it.
-
Remember the one who gave their live for humanity. The horror they faced will never be forgotten.
I like it. British model are models in Wystian DoD hex pack and Russian are kind of private.
-
Your images lack any kind of interesting lighting and shadowing, the in-game filters just don't cut it.
Has nobody added faceposing to the DoD models? The emotionless characters make the scenes very boring.
Character posing is great and brings this nice motion into these otherwise unremarkable pictures.
-
Now where did you get that lovely lee enfield rifle?
-
Oh my.
Amazing work. That is beautiful. Good job.
-
really great atmospheric shots. the russian one is the best in terms of composition and editing. but wow, those models are dismal. suggest rus_ivan's dods russians
-
I've never been much of an editor. So the interest of me trying to create 'remarkable' lighting and shadowing is quite low to be honest. Any editing that is done is just enough to try to remain averagely competetive. Posing is what I've always been good at, although I have my days where things don't necessarily go my way in that regard either.
It's a bit late for me to care about editing any more. I wasn't good at it four years ago, I'm just barely any better now. So, right now it's about keeping the style that I personally find nothing wrong with and I'm content.
Never do I make a Gmod picture with editing as my priority. I know my place in that department
-
The first one is amazing.
-
Thanks for that.
PS: There is no I in Wystan. Skewed my search results a bit.
-
Nice.
-
Fuck man, if we wanted to remake Gray Saints it could be the shit, but I'm too busy. :(
-
Shit man, I know! We got more than enough custom models, more experience, excellent skins...I think we're definitely ready for a Redux!
super serious. (get unbusy )
-
Must...not...watch...band of brothers....3 more times....
These are amazing photos. I mean screenshot things. I am a Major WWII Nut and I LOVE these pictures. The first one is my Desktop Wallpaper!
-
They look nice. Can't describe it any more. I see no problems with them.
-
But I've got this mod not to mention fuckin senior year of HS.Shit man, I know! We got more than enough custom models, more experience, excellent skins...I think we're definitely ready for a Redux!
super serious. (get unbusy )
-
fack.
Well, the opportunity will remain open until either one of us are dead
-
please you don't have to work for that
-
lol senior year is easy
but that's only if you do all of your creds before you go which involves after school, before school every day for the 3 years before HS
-
I really like that you included the Germans. It seems like most things like this just tend to focus on the "good guys," while most people seem to overlook that most of the Germans weren't pure monsters.
-
Heck, WWII is coming up for a school Term paper, and I'm the only one who picked the Japanese. Imperial Japan was freakin' badass
-
Yeah work camps were always my favourite form of badass too.
-
BANZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI
oh dear I forgot the enemy had guns
-
But what I meant was:
They never retreated. They stood their ground and fought to the last man. They were more patriotic then we were. It took 2, 2 nuclear weapons to finally break their spirit. It's the whole: "This is my country. You are the enemy of my country. You are in my country. I shall kill you, be it in any way I can."
And the Banzai thing, was used when they were out of ammunition or were close to being over-run. And Banzai charges were deadly effective, around 3/15 American soldiers were killed in each Banzai Charge. There was no true line between Retreat or Final Breath when it came to the bitter end of the Pacific Theatre.
-
"They're either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid."
I don't think all banzai charges were as well thought out as you make it sound (running out of ammunition or about to be overrun). In a lot of the engagements they outnumbered Marines and one reason why Marines may have even stood a chance in each engagement (when outnaumbered) were because of the suicidal charges. A waste of men if you ask me.
Imperial Japan, from a research perspective, would be an interesting piece. However, by personal opinion of course, I have a hard time respecting Japan during the Pacific Theatre or WWII in general. Their patriotism made them mean motherfuckers (to put it bluntly).
I have to admit though, I just finished watching The Pacific in HD, all episodes one after the other, on HBO
-
Japan: We have 500 more men than you but we'll still lose the battle because we love to throw them into MG and rifle fire
-
The Russian one is my favorite, they all look great tho.
