    I made these pieces of 'artwork' in my spare time as custom loading screens on games, I hope people appreciate or enjoy looking at them.
    I also would love it if people told me what I should model next, or criticize me and tell me how I should improve.

    Pretty nice; here's something you could do in the future: I'd love to see some shots from the surface, as well as more showing the different factions. :)

    I recognize Garry's Mod when I see it ;)
    Really amazing, I love how well you've done the posing, especially the finger-posing, as I always found that a bit tricky. And the contrast/light editing really added that atmospheric/moody touch to it that Gmod otherwise lacks. Impressive :thumb:

    Hand posing and facial posing has always been the most difficult part of making my screenshots, the default hand pose can usually be used in most cases, by bending the wrist and stuff you can make it looks like it is gripping stuff at certain angles, as an example; in the picture with the two Reich Officers, the officer gripping his hat is just the default hand pose bent to look as if his fingers are bent around it.

    As for the lighting, my game actually looks like that. I have a custom built mod to the lighting and shading with an addition couple of modifications by me.
    Heres afew pictures I took as 'lighting tests'.

    G-mod! I should have recognised it. :tsk: Like Skaara pointed out, this is some really well done posing. :D

    Yeah, I've used the default hand-pose a lot too, but it's so.. basic and DisplayModel-like that it's really visible in most cases. I too find the finger- and face-posing the most difficult, and it's really annoying when a downloaded model doesn't have either available :mad:

    Interesting about your lighting-mod, though, I didn't know you could get that for Gmod. It seems really awesome, but I can imagine it gets tiring eventually? I mean, it really reduces the eye-sight so you have to concentrate more, and maybe even squint, in order to see details properly? I remember once in HL2RP, my server's co-owner set the contrast and/or lighting to maximum with some strange command, so it became extremely intense and yellow. My eyes started hurting almost immediately, and after a few minutes of playing with it enabled, my eyes hurt for a couple hours afterwards :lol:


    It was the finger-posing that aroused my suspicion, and after inspecting the pictures for some time, finding more and more things that resembled Gmod-stuff, like the chair, it was eventually the Chinese Takeout carton on the floor in the second picture that gave it away, and confirmed my suspicion :lol:

    Anyway, I really really liked that last picture with the Stalker in the stairs. The broken TV, the upside-down bike, the dead bodies' positions and even the angle of the Stalker's head. I know it's a bit annoying to try to make the feet hit the ground/floor correctly, but I have to criticize you for that in this one :p Should've maybe dropped the ragdoll slightly more down so one foot would be placed on the lower step with a straight leg whilst the one on the upper step would have a bent knee. Other than that, it's really amazing and I doubt I could've done any better myself :)

    I've been seeing a lot of good screenshots in steam of neat maps, RP-mods and models that I've actually considered for a while to re-download Gmod. But in the end, it was your screenshots here that made me do it, so it's downloading right now as I'm writing this. I might do some Metro-poses too :D

    The models I use in my Metro pictures aren't publicly released yet as my friend directly imported them over from the actual game for me, but I have a collection of all the mods I use.

    As for the lightning. No, not at all, Infact I can change the lighting to me more attractive to my eyes whilst posing, editing the lights to fit current moods.

    P.S I included the Public-Beta version of the Metro Models for you to use <3

    Feel free. As long as you don't claim them as your own works, or sell them for money without me getting a cut I do not mind. :3

    Wow, I really like the depth in your photos. I used to work in Graphic Design and I suggest you use the rule of thirds whenever you take a screenshot, it'll help tremendously.
