Mysttic's Photodump

This is where I'll post some poses and creative photos I've taken while playing games (Mostly Garry's Mod)
I've been posing for about 2 weeks now (May 12, 2015) so most of these won't be top tier poses.
Enjoy and feel free to leave some tips for my poses and leave your own screenshots!
Here are a few to start the thread off:

 

I feel like you'd be the kind of person to entertain the idea of sceneposing. Facepunch has some useful threads to help with quality and the like.
They don't look that bad anywho, but, if you're open to constructive criticism, I'll pop some after you respond.

 

I'm open for criticism anytime!

 

Missed that bit in the intro post.
You might want to try avoiding models with low polycounts or poorly optimized texturing. The first picture kinda shows itself as a grimy model in and of itself. Other models with normal and specular issues that might warp or display disruptions in stuff like checkered patterns would also be things to avoid. If you're going to or need to use things of low quality in a screenshot, try to make it so there is a lot more stuff in the photo for the eye to focus on than what is lacking. You don't want to leave two points of focus, foreground and background, where one is terrible and the other is fine. It reduces the overall quality of the image, if you know what I mean. By drawing our attention elsewhere, perhaps with some background imagery and a vignette around the first photo, the audience gets the impression of the photo subject, and more abstractly, what's in his head, as the primary interest. Give it attitude instead of just showing what's there. You did well in the third image with that, though the posing on the lurking soldier could use some work.

 

Oh yeah, I'm checking out Facepunch and there are tons of HD Models here.
Thanks a lot for this, Ill make sure I apply your tips to my future posts

 

I also meant for screenshot composition
Don't just look in the Addon Releases subforum for HQ models, check the Modelling subsection as well.

 

Looks really good! What map is that?

This was taken in gm_bay.

 

You cant open the Asian models eyes or close them, even when you put on the full flex all it does is move the eyebrows and mouth.

Racist Gmod is racist.

 

Here's something i did back in April, only now do i realize his crotch flap is stuck in his waist.
