i'm pretty sure you banned the only one capable of providing competent criticism.

You might have given constructive criticism in your mind if by that you mean bash the maker until they make some ridiculously high quality professional photo someone would pay for to the point of making nobody want to make screenshots.. sometimes just giving tips is fine.. but the way you two give constructive criticism is just plain rude, and commonly referred to as trolling (which is why you were banned previously.. and yet again..)
If that is the only way you know how to give C&C then perhaps you should apply for a job at a professional art firm and see how long you last.. go ahead.. I'm actually encouraging you to do so. Not everyone here is as good as The Vman, MasterFGH, Uberslug etc but that doesn't mean they are instantly awful and should discontinue the hobby, to be honest.. that should encourage users to work harder and learn more..


Oh my... page 2.. this really has gone quite far.. and I am going to have to agree with greasemonkey

There is nothing wrong with the posing save the lead hand on the Thompson. The rifleman is running while hugging the ground as he is under fire. You have either never watched a WW2 movie or ever seen anyone run in such a way as to stay low. Other than that, I see nothing wrong with it, although my opinion may be a bit bias.

I was referring the the guy in the background.
Also, the mid-running pose sorta looks off-balance. That's just my opinion though.

I blame that on the angle of the shot, he is on a very slight tilt towards the camera. Had the picture been taken from another angle it may have made more sense.

Agreed.. some of the posing is a wee bit iffy.. but nobody is perfect

The extent of his criticism was "bad posing." I wouldn't call that competent.

did you read the second quote or did you just skim through my post like you have for this thread's entirety?

Anyways, I like the screenshot. The gun positions and finger-posing are off, but at first glance it looked nice.

i wouldn't call this competent, you aren't being detailed enough. the finger posing is "off", what do you mean by that? how is he supposed to improve if all you're saying is that it's "off"?

i skimmed through your post because it's the same garbage you've been posting throughout the thread; there's no need to regurgitate your points--i've already responded to them.
i'd just like to say i am employed in the professional art field, and i've yet to be laid off.

He wasn't banned for not giving good enough criticism. He was banned for the last sentence of his post. Which in retrospect is more like flaming, but same punishment nonetheless.

Of course its garbage to you because you simply don't understand that fine art (that you supposedly work in the field of) and a screenshot from a GAME don't have to be the SAME

No offence to you.. but he will have an alt account soon enough.. these two always do..

[Ham_Wallet]

This doesn't do the pose a ton of justice but you see what I am talking about, from that angle it looks really odd...

From this angle it looks a lot less odd.

At that angle the guy would definitely fall over. But again, that's only my opinion.

I didn't see those because I didn't read the entire thread. It was reported. If you see people breaking rules, report them.

First is my own personal opinion.. yes I think the Gustave poses are cartoony and ridiculous
And the second.. how is that homophobia or flaming..? I have nothing against gay people as long as they keep it to themselves and such and don't use it for attention.. and the flaming bit..? isn't the video pictured a tool of flaming itself?

you're implying it's wrong to be homosexual. don't even tip toe around it, it's obvious.

That's enough. Drop the subject before I hand out derailment bans.
If you have member related issues, PM a mod or report them.

Seriously guys, stop spamming the crap out of this thread, take it to PM.

Its a personal opinion yes.. but I am not pressing it upon others and trying to de-rail this thread purposely.. I am defending the original poster who was wrongly persecuted by Baker

And if you read.. I have nothing against homosexuals


Gah.. ninjad by Greasemonkey again... ending this

So what he's not hanging on to the Thompson completely whoopde freaking do. Huge issue right? I like the pic, only thing I don't like is where the sparks are coming from there isn't any mark of any kind that a bullet or anything has hit the tank.
Way to go Ham.

okay.
way too much white space
posing is stiff
snow looks like someone just scratched up a photograph
bow legged posing
guy on the right: no one holds rifles like that. also his finger is way too curved

if you want me to go into more detail and make a paintover for you, i can.

The snow is actually pretty good, you don't know what the fuck your talkin' about. :fuckoff:

[JerryK]

is it just me or is that a german tank they're standing infront of?

[ChestyMcGee]

This thread is a fucking embarrassment. You've all been arguing about and since comment 2, which was perfectly correct anyway. The posing is not good. The editing is.

I'll be the judge of that, thanks. His legs are bowed so badly it's not funny. That's not a stable shooting position; fuck, that's not even a stable standing position. It's uncomfortable to stand with both knees bent and your spine bent over the opposite direction at the best of times, let alone while trying to get a shot off. Guy on the right looks alright, although the angle he's holding his rifle at could use some consideration. The M1 isn't exactly light.

Overall it's alright, but not a masterpiece by a long shot. Consider editing your screens more rather than using the terrible ingame effects and emitters. You'll never get good at it by not trying.

BlackRazor88 posted:

Then why does he use the exact same highlight-random-crap-everywhere-in-the-same-font-in-different-colors-nit-pick-about-everything C&C that you do?

Me too. I suppose I'm Angry Baker as well? Shit, man. I had no idea.
