Title: Handicapped Parking ONLY (parking garage environment)
Name: Chris Lomaka Chris Lomaka
Country: United States
Software: Lightwave 3D, Photoshop

You've all seen them: people who park in the handicapped spaces even though they shouldn't. It bugs the heck out of me, and I'm not even handicapped. So what's a person to do? I mean, they're just there in their car... but what if they were in a tank :>? (yes, it's a little silly here inside my head).

Mostly done in Lightwave, but with a lot of touch-up in photoshop (mainly the shattered glass). The tank was done for a rescue vehicle contest.

First of all, great idea. Some people seem to be mentally handicapped while driving..
The license plates on the smaller cars are funny :D

My only crit really is that the lighting could be better. It's good now, but not great. You've got a good amount of details in this scene and I don't think the lighting is doing it justice at the moment.

So in my opinion, you need to work on the lighting for this scene for it to be great.

Keep up the good work!

This really is a cool scene. Love the creativity of it! I want a tank like that!

I think part of what's keeping this scene from being as great as it could be is as the other post said, lighting. It's good, but not great. I also think the texture on the tank could be better, it looks ... not quite finished somehow.

The rest of the scene is really cool. THe shattered glass, the grime around the ceiling and pipes is so realistic. Great job!

I love the concept! I too get annoyed at the people that park in the handicapped parking.

I share the same critiques, the lighting could be different, since parking garages are usually lit fairly well with that orange/yellow type light. Especially for a handicapped space.

Thanks for the crits! I agree about the lighting, it's always been a struggle for me. Actually, getting a composition that worked was more of a pain in the butt - the tank's so big it's hard to move out far enough to show everything without losing emphasis on the crunchyness of the cars. As far as the lighting, i was going for the just barely adequately lit look with the greenish-yellow cast that you get when taking photos in flourescent light. The rim light on the back of the tank still feels heavy-handed to me, and the front of the cockpit of the tank could use just a little more sparkle, but i was having trouble getting it without washing out detail...
