This was quite a bit of fun to create. Isolation flew by quickly (lolpun) giving me plenty of time to edit the fun stuff. This pic actually wasn't entirely my idea, but was suggested to me by a friend (you know who you are).
Lastly, no, this wasn't inspired by Dark Void. If anything, I got most of my inspiration by the 1991 movie The Rocketeer (if you've never heard of it, go rent it some time. It's a fun movie.)
Please compare to the original!

Holy balls, that is awesome. I want to see more of this.
Have a pallete.
-
I came..as I lol'd. Have a pallete.
-
Wow, looks like some comic book and the choice of thread music is great.
-
It's all very great.
Smoke trails are nice, explosions are amazing as usual, I think that the tracers should be a bit larger, and the plane's muzzle flash looks oddly shaped to me. Pose is good on Nick and on the people in the vehicle. I lol'd at Louis' facepose even though it's blurred a lot. And I see some isolation errors on his jetpack.
-
Great effects as usual. Nice shading too.
I can't help but prefer Superscatman's edit though, as he plays around with the lighting more than just dodging and burning and the blur on the background helps cover up the dodgy Harrier models somewhat.
Still, a great picture with a fabulously original idea.
I know this isn't what inspired you, but the picture reminds me of the ending of the Iron Man 2 trailer.
-
His name fits his character, badass. Also I see louis, francis and zoey I think.
-
Awesome! there effect look like nice!
-
Such cinematic quality.
-
I love the reaction of Louis.
-
VMan does it again.
You know, man, I NEED to learn how to do effects like that.
-
Excellent! I love Louis' face.
-
I grinned as soon as I saw this.
-
That is amazing as usual Vman
keep up the work
-
Looks like it was cut from some awesome movie with effects better than avatar.
Thats a good thing btw.
-
The day I learn to do explosions like that, hell will freeze over. Very impressive shit, share your secrets :c
-
This is how zombies came into the picture.
Nick flew over a radiation plant and the jets blew it up.
-
I laughed. Vman you just made my morning, nice edting though. Have a funny.
-
This is sweet. I love it.
The little lens flare from the rockets flame was a nice touch. You even added shading to his teeth :D
Edited:
and you added turbines to the engines!
-
We need a comic of this guy.
NOW.
-
congratulations, you now own the screenshots section.
-
Oh my god thats indeed badass.
Really nice job.
-
Haha man, you totally made my day.
-
Wow thanks a lot for all the great comments guys!
Muzzle flashes aren't always a uniform shape but I understand where you're coming from.
Isolation errors? Really? Where?
Yea, Scatman's a god with lighting. Though I was aiming for a slightly more atmospheric "snapshot from a movie"-esque style of editing. As for the blur, I had originally wanted to keep the jets in focus. I admit the model is a little low res but they aren't that terrible (and there aren't any better harrier models) One thing that surprised me about both edits is the lack of motion blur to simulate speed. Most of the time people will add zoom blur to pictures just to make it look fast, without even thinking about how things would actually be blurring, but I guess not in this case...
Thanks!
Great things come to those who wait... or something like that.
I promise you, at some point in time, I will make an explosion tutorial (maybe even a smoke tutorial as well)
Glad you noticed the lens flare, and even more glad that you liked it! :buddy:
It was a little experimental touch, I wasn't sure how it would be received (I figured since Mass Effect 2 has them scattered around like... something.. you... scatter around... people wouldn't find it too out of place)
Also... yeaa... I added turbines...
ahem...
Don't worry, this won't be the last you'll see of Agent Badass.
-
k made a poster
-
Hah, love the credits on the bottom. Awesome job.
-
A real BADASS picture once again.
Am also liking that poster edit by Scotty
You shouldn't break promises. :)
-
That's why nobody knows anything about Nick, prbably, he made the zombies. o_O
-
I added spinning radial blur to mine to add more of a spinning dizzyness instead of a zooming motion, but it kind of got lost in the noise and stuff.
I like yours 100x more than mine.
-
Thread music fits perfectly.
-
So much Win here
-
I'm pretty sure it's Special Agent Badass, Md.
-
I was originally going to include Special, but then I felt the title was too long.
-
The blur on your edit gives it such a sense of speed, and the explosions, oh my gawd the explosions.
By the way: 37
-
this makes mine look like a piece of shit, my explosion sucks, my lighting sucks, everything sucks
hate myself
-
What are you talking about? Yours is fine. Like I said in the editing thread, I actually like your explosions quite a lot.
-
It may not actually be isolation errors, but it looks jagged around the lower end of his jetpack and his upper right leg.
-
Mmm, yea. I was hoping people wouldn't notice that. It's due to the way I make the glow from the fire overlap his body. I hate to admit it, but I do use the magic wand (though I put a lot of work in to cover it up, it looks much worse than if I left it untouched)
-
Ah, I see. But that's just nit picking, it's a damn fine edit/pose/prop placement :buddy:
