FYI the green at the bottom is trees - that's just how massive that spider thing is.

[darius_bielecki]

That is so freaking awsome.
What the hell are those flying things :ohdear:

[bodenlan2]

The lightning and smoke is awesome

Angry, gunship-destroying, flying trilobytes bent on the destruction of the human race as we [don't] know it... or something like that.

[Drizzy]

This is kick-ass yet so beautiful at the same time, nice work.

[Santz]

Reminds me of the beginning of HL:OpFor :P

Freaking awesome angle and shading there, DoF and posing are quite nice too.
Dunno why but i feel like the smoke coming out of the shooting gunship is a little too thick.

[Dubeard]

where's everyone getting the akrid models :confused:

Holy crap dude! This was totally awesome! :D
Though, I miss some motionblur on the ships in the back :P
And the use of akrid :D

[heathendevil]

that is way cool

everything's right about the picture

it just fits

[Uberslug]

That's mind-blowing

[wystan]

Really good model use.

[ChestyMcGee]

Wow. Thanks for the comments guys, thanks a lot.

Thanks, mate. I didn't motion-blur the ships in the background because I figured they are far enough away from the camera to be in focus (apart from the depth-of-field).

Again, thanks for all the comments so far!

[KaNe1310]

really cool picture, good job

[Urbanator]

Thats a really sexy pic. Great work (and thanks for putting that link up with the ragdolls!) :D

[hhcheese]

I saw avatar yesterday, this looks very similar! Nice!

[The Vman]

Really nice job Chesty, the lighting, smoke, muzzleflashes, and posing all look excellent. My only issue is that the tops of the trees that the spider thing is poking out of, seem rather flat. Though I understand that adding good looking shading to them would be a bitch, it's just one of those little nitpicks that you can't really help.

Still, great job man.

[Asaratha]

Oh my god

It's beautiful

[Careld]

Another amazing picture.

[Fort83]

Reminds me of that air battle in Avatar, just saw it last night and by far the best movie i have ever seen. Is that were you got the idea Chesty?

[SatansSin]

He looks a little bit too calm to be hanging onto that jet while evading those flying things and the machine gun firing at the spider. Still I like it.:awesomelon:

They're from Lost Planet. That's all I know.

[hgncommand]

Inspired by the new avatar movie maybe?

[The Combine]

Awesome picture.

Partly. I haven't actually seen the film, just a trailer or two, but I wanted to use the LP models too.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I'd say so.

[dagoth_ur]

NOES, another WRONG use of the PAC air vehicles from battlefield 2142, those things are driven by ASAINS, not space marines...

Anyway... I other than that, which annoys me, quite good

Hey. Good point. If this were a BF2142 forum I might actually care.

Nerd rage much? Grow some imagination dude.

Again I will repeat, awesome pic man.

Maybe you're a BF2142 fanboy or something (wait... what am I saying, maybe?) but you have to consider that people are limited on models and will use what they can get and employ their artistic license.

How dare you

[dagoth_ur]

not as much a fanboy as I like the setting... but as I said i was pissed off while posting... had just run into a fuckload of trouble with my laptop...

The only thing I would ask is how you did the glass on the cockpits, that seems to be the only reason I don't use those models.

Anyhow, I like it, especially compared to the original.

(What's with the influx of sci-fi pictures lately?)

I isolated the shapes of the glass panels in turn and then just painted a semi-transparent white on with a big, soft brush as the light would hit it.

Dunno. I've been doing Sci-Fi pics for quite a while now, but I guess it just depends on what models are released.
