Favorite picture game.

[Trench-Viper]

Here is an new idea for a thread game, the rules are simple: You post a link to one of the favorite pictures made by the poster before you in the thread, saying a line or two about why you like it the best. Then the next poster posts a link to one of your pictures he likes best and so on. :)

[Flatline]

I'LL PLAY ALONG. :)
THOUGH I AM NOT A HUGE FAN OF THE 25TH FIGURES OR NEWER MOLDS. I GOTTA SAY FROM ALL THE PHOTOS YOU HAD THIS STRUCK ME AS MY FAV. THE KNIFE FIGHT THAT IS ABOUT TO ENSUE FILLS THE GREAT SETTING AND LOCATION WITH TENSION.
MY FAV TRENCH-VIPER SHOT!! (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17686&catid=searchresults&searchid=35431)

[Trench-Viper]

Allthough Flatline has a lot of funny pictures, great portrait shots and lots of fantastic sets this
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=16794&catid=member&imageuser=1183
is my favorite shot of his. Since the posing and custom is so cool. Off course the set is great as well but its the red and black colours scheme of the figure that makes him look so great. Notice that red paint job really good work. Posing perspective and everything is great.

[Flatline]

thanks Trenchy! :)

[Hammerfel]

Love this game!

My favorite shot of Trench-Vipers is this one. Destro looks to be the Lord he is on the Scottish moors here. A truly defining pic. It even looks like the wind has caught his cape.

[Hammerfel]

BTW, for anyone looking through my shots, keep in mind I posted a lot of other people's work early on to archive it here. I mention the author's name in the subject line. Just watch out for that. It may not look like I've shot much, but I do have 5 chapters of a dio still up. :)

[Roland da Thompson Gunner]

Well, after learning Hammerfel didn't take pictures for a Belgian catalog in 1988 :p I decided I'd go with this one:


http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=125&catid=member&imageuser=3

Mainly because it really sold me on the comic pack Storm Shadow because he could still use his old weapons, a lot of his other shots have New Sculpt figures and I don't dig those very much compared too the 84 Stormy mold

[Scuba Steve]

OK, my pic for Roland would have to be this one!

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=19433&catid=member&imageuser=1805

Although I found many of his shots to be personal favorites I just like the way this one turned out! I like the figure, the focus, the posing, effects, and over all concept. It's simple but an all around win for me!

[Trench-Viper]

Thanks Hammerfel, if you could check your pm inbox too it would be great!
Scuba Steve has deliverd a lot of good shots and has a modern style which I like a lot he is a master of the cool perspective on vehcicles and figures. In this picture he has down cool pose and an excellent location as well.

And thanks for my current avatar Scuba its great!

[troopsofdoom]

I picked this Trench-Viper shot (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17479&catid=member&imageuser=3272) simply because he made me like a picture of Duke. Not an easy task, especially with this version. The location is perfect and the trench coat looks great too.

[bartus]

Well, I really like Troopsofdoom work, his pictures as well as his hilarious ongoing dio/comic. (http://troopsofdoomcomic.com)

His posing of the figures as well as master PS skills, are, IMHO better represented in this pic. (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=19255&catid=member&imageuser=2633) , that effect on the fire is just amazing, and as posted in the pic, I made it my wallpaper for a time.

And also I would like to mention this pic (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17162&catid=member&imageuser=2633) , cause is probably the most gruesome I've seen here, excelent work here as well!!

[Trench-Viper]

Bartus has a good eye for what is cool and often has great battle or troop gathering scenes. The picture that imidiatly stuck out when I went over his photos was this
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=14752&catid=member&imageuser=1254
Just awesome idea and excecution (pun intended). The great custom and the theme which suits the Cobra organisation really well is suplemented by the great posing and figure selection. It looks plausible which is allways welcome. Great picture.

[sithviper]

I like this shot of Trench-Viper's because I like the concept of it, the humor, and I really like snow shots. :)

[tunnelrat88]

Sithviper has some really great work, but this one really caught my eye when I was searching through the archives.

Conquest Away! (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17084&catid=searchresults&searchid=35451)

Really great photoshop work, great use of background, and probably the best Conquest photo I've seen.

[ThinkTank]

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=18756&catid=searchresults&searchid=35467

This is my favorite Tunnelrat88 shot. The posing is great and Snow Job really blends in well.

[Roland da Thompson Gunner]

This is my favorite ThinkTank picture http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=15618&catid=member&imageuser=2381

It's got a really good sense of lighting, wicked posing and three of the best G.I. Joe characters around. But too be fair, all of ThinkTank's pictures are my favorite ThinkTank pictures

[vader9900]

Gunner uses awesome figures, we have about the same taste. THIS ONE (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=19001&catid=searchresults&searchid=35468) is my favore. I love Cobra Blue, and they contrast against the snow is awesome. :D I just wish he put more of them in there! I know you got 'em. :eek:

[sithviper]

This is one of my favorite vader9900 pictures. (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=15227&catid=favorites)

Great set, great figures, great story, and again I dig snow scenes :D

[Trench-Viper]

You must choose one of Sithvipers pictures Black Knight. Thats the rules of the game choose one from the guy that just chose.
Allthough it is a funny picture.
After Black Knight has chosen the next must chose one of his pictures.

[Black Knight]

Ok, so now that I understand the rules....

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=7870&catid=member&imageuser=1235

After searching endlessly thru SithViper's shots... I decided that I couldn't decide, they were all really good. So I had to think hard and this happens to be my favorite among the others.

I like the concept here and not to mention I'm a dog person... this is a great shot and idea.

[Red Sox]

As a fan of Croc-Master, 25th figures, and outdoor shots involving water, I had to go with this pic by Black Knight:

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=19929&catid=member&imageuser=3732

Really good stuff. :cool:

[Trench-Viper]

It was difficult to choose because there is one picture of Red Sox that I have favorited because I want to remake it one day because of its great posing. Red Sox are great with creating natural looking posing depicting everyday movement giving his pictures a great natural look. However this
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=16207&catid=member&imageuser=418
is the picture I chose because it combines great posing with a great background.

[Prince Adam]

That's a really cool pic by Red Sox! My favorite T-V shot would be this one:

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=16541&catid=member&imageuser=3272

It's a really cool figure, assuming you're into 25THs, much better than the grey counterpart they first released! the posing is great and the weapons selection is topnotch especially that Uzi. The location is what really gets my attention. It could be the top of a warehouse or even an enemy camp. The angle also gives him a sense of being high up and looking to strike! :D

[troopsofdoom]

Prince Adam's custom of Tunnel Rat (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=15528&catid=searchresults&searchid=35493) is one of my all time JoeDios favorites. The first time I seen this I thought it was a person in costume because it's so life-like. Faithfully reproduced too.

[Flatline]

POSSIBLE ONE OF THE BEST COMIC WRITTERS IN THE GAME KRAIG (troopofdoom) CAN NOT ONLY LAY DOWN THE FUNNY HE IS CONSTANTLY POSTING KILLER SHOTS. THIS IS MY FAVORITE! (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=18772&catid=member&imageuser=2633)

[Nathan92]

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17712&catid=searchresults&searchid=35501

I really like this one, flatline. :)

[Trench-Viper]

Nathan92 does not have many pictures but he have put out a file of some cool Cobra signs and taken some pictures of an ACTUAL diorama which he has made.
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=16128&catid=searchresults&searchid=35507
I chose the picture where you could see the most of the diorama, I really liked the idea and the action in this photo and the ground in the diorama looks really realistic. Very cool stuff.

[Roland da Thompson Gunner]

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17306&catid=searchresults&searchid=35508

That is my favorite Trench-Viper picture, generally I hate the Iron Grenadiers Destro get up (I perfer the Disco stud version of v1) but he looks real good here. Also it's got a wicked sick setting

[Red Sox]

Roland has a ton of awesome pictures to sort through, but this one really struck a chord with me:

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17378&catid=member&imageuser=1805

The setting is great and the posing gives a real sense of urgency. It looks like they need some backup FAST. I'm a big fan of the Original team too so bonus points. :)

[Trench-Viper]

As I mentioned earlier Red Sox's has a picture I plan on remaking and I allready had shown my favorite picture of his with the very good theme and location. However this picture
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=19950&catid=searchresults&searchid=35565
Is excellent and critically aclaimed from some very high places. Great work.
