this is a great piece, but IMO, it is way too dark. Possibly, illuminating the points of interest could be an improvement?

Yeah … I’d love too, but it’s way too dark. Looks like a lot of love went into the pic, but the points of interests are the explosions (which is about all I can make out of the pic clearly).

Needs some focused lighting and a bit more polish. This is one that hit my “I almost plugged it on the front page” list.

looks exactly how it would given the sky conditions I would say, not too dark at all, looks pretty near perfect
great job

#17

:applause: Great Job. I love the look. A lot of work was put into this painting, that’s for sure!!! Awesome! Great detail.

Keep it up!

It would do the picture better, if you gave it more ambient moon light, or maybe some search lights on the mech to illuminate it.

Hi all,
Thanks for the positive comments and feedback.
Seems we all like a good dead city.

Apparently this one looks pretty dark.
I wanted it to be that way but…
I painted it with a dusky light that is pretty even… I can still see everything on my display.
Im using default calibration on an Apple HD cinema display.
My photoshop settings are the standard"Macintosh RGB".
“Mac RGB” tends to have lower contrast and be brighter than “Windows RGB”.
Which accounts for what Im hearing. To dark
I’ll try posting a version with “Windows RGB”.
I “saved for web”.

Its interesting to hear how people are seeing these images.
I suppose for the sake of clarity, on the web, regardless of an individuals monitor settings, Higher key work is more “viewable”.

Cheers R

Yeah, it’s frustrating. Any work you do in the bottom quarter of the luminance gamut may or may not be reproduced by someone viewing the thing on the web.

At least the background here at CGTalk is a nice dark achromatic grey . . . anybody else remember when it was red? eeeeecccchhh.

Nice piece by the way. Creates the impression of detail while staying indistinct enough that I don’t get hung up on it.
