They're both great but something you've done with the post-processing effects has made it looks really strange in comparison (Domino)
Love the shading on both. Domino's muzzle flash is 10x better though. And the little details like the bones on his hand and the adams apple... I might be changing my mind, yep i say domino.
This was a tough one to vote on
-
I'd say Domino on this one. They're both different and better in some respects.
Domino wins because of the lighting mostly. It might be flamboyant and way over-the-top but it sure as hell works in this picture. Vman's attention to detail with the hair edit is good but, and I'm sorry to say, the shading and highlighting is very flat and lifeless, quite subpar, most notably around the hair. The rim-lighting especially treats the hair like it is one solid object and results in the characters looking very 2D. The harsh highlighting on Nick's right shoulder (his right) looks too strong and also makes a little isolation issue more noticeable. Then again, Domino's rim-lighting on the same shoulder looks too highly coloured. Vman's flash is nice, but it's something we've seen before whereas Domino's is very interesting.
Overall though, Domino wins - well done Domino!
-
I personally think Vman look good, pretty hard to decide which was good, since both were. I think Domino one look great too but something about that muzzle flash doesn't suit me.
Also what map is this you were using?
-
Something about Domino's picture just doesn't seem to fit in. I'd have to say Vman.
-
I prefer Domino's, the fire was a nice touch and the lighting is very well done. Though they are both amazing pictures, and you did a fine job Vman, this is quite the contest.
Although your Muzzelflash Vman is much better, if I do say so.

cs_cabaret (or de, I don't remember. Just search cabaret or club in garrysmod.org)
-
I pick Vman
-
I gotta say Vman. I don't know what it is, but there's something about Domino's that bugs me off.
-
The vman for me because domino's ain't my style although it looks amazing. Anyway were can i get the girl's model ?
-
When it comes into existence.
It's a combination of a bikini Elexis model, and zoey's head, with a dress 'shopped on.
-
Cheers.
-
Sorry Domino, but I'm going to have to go with The Vman.
I like Vman's muzzle flash much more, and I'm not a fan of the grain in Domino's. I like the blood in Domino's more though, and the lighting a bit more as well. But as a whole, I think The Vman won this one.
-
Domino becouse of what Chesty said.
-
i like domino's lighting but i have to go with vman since he keeps it simpler and a bit clearer
-
Vman, Domino really overdid it.
-
I like the overload, I will go with Domino.
But Vman's was pretty awesome too.
-
Domino.
The amount of detail, shading, and life added to the original is beyond exponential. The extra detail to lighting, hair, skin tones. The colour of the pictures matches that of a older movie, though still nice.
My only concern, is the notches on the agents hand, that is holding the gun. The muzzleflash and flash inside of the revolving case, looks.. Very poor compared to the rest of the picture.
I'm sorry Domino, I'd vote 50 times for ya if I could, but you won't beat popularity.
-
I like the Vman one.
And it looks extremely realistic; both of them.
-
Domino.
-
Ahem.
(as in, what do you think of the picture in general. If this wasn't a competition what would you have said)
-
Uh. Sorry. Well, I like Dom's shading and overall lighting editing more than yours. His muzzleflash is nowhere near as good as yours though, but I still pick his entry. It looks a bit cinematic actually.
Your pic, V, just lacks something, although I can't really tell what.
-
Good Flash
-
Where can I get that suit skin of Nick?
-
That's Inflator tool I think.
-
Then my question is where can I get that suit model so I can inflate Nick into it?
-
It's Lynch's suit from those Kayne and Lynch models that Simkas made.
Because this comp is only influenced by the popularity of the editors, rather than the actual content of the editing.
-
Yes that's exactly what he was implying. I might even be inclined to agree, but not quite.Because this pic is only influenced by the popularity of the editors, rather than the actual content of the editing.
-
Well I couldnt decide which picture looks better because they are both cool in their own way but I voted for V-Man because he is more popular.
-
Why don't you make a competition that only show pictures, not the names(and reveal them in the end) of the editor so it is more balanced.It's Lynch's suit from those Kayne and Lynch models that Dean made.
Because this pic is only influenced by the popularity of the editors, rather than the actual content of the editing.
-
Thats a pretty good idea
-
I know that's what he's implying. And I'm implying that it's bullshit. People have the capability to form their own opinions, and (I know this is going to sound extremely pretentious) I can understand why Dom's isn't getting as many votes. (No offense Dom, your style just isn't for everyone.)
EDIT
That better be sarcasm The Combine...
EDIT
That sounds like a pretty good idea, but a lot of people have incredibly iconic editing styles. If I didn't include the names you would probably have no trouble figuring it out.
-
I like the intense amount of shading that Domino put into it and really I should have voted for his, but the way he shaded the hand is very off putting and I'm not a fan of the muzzle flash.
I do think the votes are a bit one sided though.
-
hmmm... yeah you are right. Damnit i hate popularity(see deviant art it's full of unfriendly assholes that can't take critisism because they think they are gods, urbanator knows one) it's so bad when someone gets attention he does not need, at all.
-
I have a feeling you are talking about Manest (or rockcod, as he goes by on DA), even though I find his work to be kewl and unique. But everyone has their own tastes and opinions.
Nyaaah, gotta go with Vman on this one. Although I'm not too keen on the rim-lighting, I prefer it overall. Plus dat muzzleflash is kinda sexy.
Dom's is good though.
-
Blurgh, I try something new and exciting which is still work in progress :P
The muzzleflash I'm making from now on, is hand painted light with more then six different tones :P
And yes, mu style isn't for everyone, allthough I'm trying to get people to like it more and more by not overdoing stuff, and compared to the last picture I edited out of Vman's collection, I toned everything down XD
And no, no offence taken Vman ^^
This was fun to do, and took me about 9 hours XD
Pro tip: Warm light creates cold shadows, cold light creates warm shadows.
-
Too bad about Nick's face looking weird... but still prefer Domino's one. It got an interesting feeling.
Edited:
Also where can I get this girl model?
-
I think Vman. Domino's looks kinda weird to me.
-
V-man.
I didn't know he was shooting when I edited it. :(

thats one skinny bitch
