Critiques ~
I know it's missing something, maybe it's just the lighting or misc objects to bring the shot to life....I just can't put my finger on it.

Also, I painted this at "Double Resolution" for a cleaner image ~ What is the best method to fit it at its actual "HD Film Size" while keeping the graphic clean?

I think the lighting and some texturing on the walls perhaps...right now its looking kinda flat. Especially the floor more so then the walls. Maybe you can add something to on the walls like lines that are lights or grills or some kind of funky art...panels..etc...just throwin ideas out lol

Hmm....good point!
*Add panel on the left wall with a grill texture that vaguely shows wires/pipes
runing down the wall.

I'll chage it along with any other critiques I get today & post up the results early
tomorrow.

Thanks & keep'em coming!
