Got a little too dark, C&C please.

[TehAgentGuy]

I have the weirdest boner right now.

[Exorade]

A bit too dark but otherwise it looks great.
Though the rimlighting looks a bit weird.

[SebiWarrior]

Very well made

[gtanoofa]

She should be at the center.

[The Combine]

Why

you sir are an Idiot

By the Way
i love this Image :D

[gtanoofa]

When you make a picture you need to make sure that what you want the main interest to be in the middle, that way the focus will be on it and it's more interesting that way. redman, please unistall internet and sell your computer, or just stay on youtube, i only wanted to share my opinion.

Edited:

Well not always in the middle but it's a dark picture so that would work.

[The Combine]

I tried that camera angle and it just looked awkward and unfitting to me but I dont know shit about camera angles so thanks for the input I guess.

[gtanoofa]

The angle and the posing are nice, good work you improved.

Edited:

Oh then it's because you chose that angle, play with the camera a little and choose the best angle.

[Dinnyforst]

Love ligthing and shadow. Rise more scary atmosphere. Nice done!

this is not a rule. i dunno where you got your information from but this is just wrong. it's not even a rule of thumb it's just... no

there is so much more to it than that. you can put your subject anywhere on the canvas you want as long as you know what you're doing

[The Combine]

Did I pull it off alright? Or does it look awkward?

Yes i was really talking in general and messed up what i originally wanted to say.But i would prefer it that way for this particular picture although it would make the left side of the picture empty.

Edited:

It looks good, the problem with your pictures is that they are empty.

Actually i don't want unistall internet
Then
Why main subject must be ever in the center?
Leonardo don't agree you

i don't want to do art Lesson
i only say the main subject are not Jesus but the apostles
and as you see is not the center of image

Pretty terribad example. I know nothing about art yet my eyes are immediatly catching Jesus, not the apostles.

That's because he can't draw them that way since they are technically in the middle.

The eyes cover the 1/100 of the screen that's why his pictures are boring, the background is fark and the posing is static.

Edited:

Fyi Chesty is right, i am not disagreeing with the middle thing.

Actually the Painting Represent the Moment in which Jesus said "one of you will betray me"
he apostles are represented among them who wonder for those who will betray him...

[gtanoofa]

It's not because he is in the middle it's because of the colors on him, if one of the apostles had brighter colors the attention would be on him.

Edited:

No he would have more focus than the others had more colorfull colors than jesus.

this is a dumb example. the purposes of the two pictures is completely different.

[gtanoofa]

Combine, add me on steam, or chesty, or both and when you make a picture ask us about it. If of course chesty is open to this. Also get with me on a server on gmod to help you with posing.

Yea you Right
So Sorry for this

[antianan]

The right half of the picture is way too empty,especially the bottom part. You could add more crap, some bodies..or the angle could be a little better

[MrStevenWolfe]

I have no clue why the last supper showed up, but I have a comment on the original picture for this thread: QUICK, TAP SPACEBAR!!!1!

Sorry, I'm inclined to say that somehow you've managed to have an opinion that's wrong. Rules that apply to photography also apply to GMOD screenshots, especially for composition. There's this little thing called the rule of thirds. Aka your subject is never -NEVER- centered. And that's a rule for any artistic applications unless you're going for a specific effect like symmetry, perhaps product photography or stock photos. There are exceptions but this screenshot is an ideal representation of proper composition. Don't change a thing. It is a little empty, but it has necromorphs with glowing eyes in the background which constitutes enough interest to fill the space. Perhaps add some more debris props and whatnot.

Again, that's just my opinion. As long as you think it looks good that's all that matters, listen to whoever you want do whatever you want.

[gtanoofa]

Wait so... despite the fact that i admited that what i said was wrong you wrote all this stuff? seriously?

You said so many things I couldn't tell what you were doing anymore so I figured I'd go for it just in case. As far as I could tell you left off saying that you would have still preferred it centered. I guess I was wrong, too bad about that. Sorry.

[GoldenGnome]

rule of 3 is all you need

[The_J_Hat]

The glow around the eyes is the only thing that bothers me in this picture. I don't know why, but it does.

[Santz]

Nothing, its all Jesus fault.

Nice picture by the way.
