Jester Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Nice. Other than the "Panic" and the wear on the slide, looks just like my 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sup Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Pretty solid work. My issue with it, though, is that the whole thing is pretty low contrast. Overall everything's pretty bright -- which is a natural way to think of a greyish metal like that, but you'll find actually won't work near so well as a darker, deeper base. As it is you're washing out your highlights with how bright the whole gun is, killing your potential contrast. Also, throw some subtle gradient lighting over the whole gun. No metal's lit that evenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panic Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 thanks for the comments i think one mistake i did was to do everything while using a white background, so i guess i perceived the gun to be darker than it actually was. after adding the wood b/g i did make things darker (the original was very very pale looking back). live and learn eh?
