Need some opinions on these
 

Well I picked up a few Star Wars figures yesterday and took a few test shots. So let me know if they suck. ;)






Now these other two are the same pics I just used a template that Outrider posted in the file section. It gives a rain, snow or dust effect, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

So you got Kit fisto and a shock trooper. :cool:
The kit fisto is good only you wanna make him more in focus.
The clone is good too but the lazer from the gun is supposed to look like a small blue lightsaber.

I agree w/ 22. I think Kit Fisto needs to be in focus.

The Clone Trooper... It looks too cut n pasted. I would suggest blurring the background and then making the CT smaller. I think the scale doesn't look right; as if the background is supposed to be a huge landscape.

Agreed on Kit Fisto; also, I wouldn't use the rain. Agreed on the Shocktrooper too, but you need to keep the light source direction the same. It is off by 30 degrees.

Ok so let's go over some of these "problems"
I guess I should have stated that I wanted feedback about the lightsabre and blaster effects.

-Kit Fisto being out of focus actually I did that on purpose because I wanted the lightsabre effect to stand out. i wanted to know more of how the lightsabre looked than the figure.

-The Clone Trooper's lazer blast blast seems big, but judging from what I could tell from the movies it has a glow to it. So yeah the glow does make it look large, but given the blaster size wasn't really sure.

-Clone Trooper looking to cut n paste agreed, but was looking at the blaster effect then the background. Same with the lighting and sizing. Now as for the rain effect Outrider posted the template and I wanted to try it out. I'm not to crazy about the Clone Trooper one, but I like the Kit Fisto one.

So here's what I think is a better picture

Much better.

Yeah, that works much better.

I agree, the Kit Fisto pic looks good, and the revised Clone Trooper pic is also nice. However, and I may be mistaken, I think blaster bolts in Star Wars have a white center like the middle of a lightsaber. That would be the only thing I might change.

In fact, I think I'll see if I can upload my laser blast template (also good for lightsabers) into the files section. It's a Photoshop file, though, so if you don't have that program I doubt you'd be able to use it.

Very well done.
But I would still change the lazer.

That would be great, it's always good to see that there are guys like you SM that step and offer help. I do have Photoshop so I don't see a problem using it.
Thanks again
