Thread: Official ENTM-GD thread! 2.0

Oh man, I knew that asymmetry would come back to bite me in the butt! XD

At this point in the shoot I was so exhausted from trying to recruit extras, compose their uniforms, breaking form every minute or so to fight the Garleans that spawn, wrangle that dang /cpose to end up at the right spot, /smirk, and direct four extras to salute at the same time that I was just happy to get the shot! Because I attempted the shoot(after like 5 hours of putting together their outfit to my liking) at what must be the deadest hours on the server I sadly spent what must have been 500,000gil bribing people to switch GCs/adjust hair to hide the lack of a third eye/spend 1000 seals/pose for an hour. I admit I originally wanted it to be perfectly centered to really emphasize the 'power' of my character, but I noticed with the way he adjusts for the /cpose it actually puts him off-center from the camera. I think that's why he ended up with his helmet aligned but otherwise off.

As I'm reading back over this it sounds so whiny, but I actually had a really fun time putting the whole thing together! I promise! I'm loving how this stretches my abilities. >///w///<

Anyway I thought I'd share some alternate shots I got that I almost submitted instead-

WOW! ALMOST ANY of those shots preferred over the one you submitted and you would have made my top 3 when voting, they're so well done and so dynamic! I really love the fighting ones!

These were going to be the shots that I would have submitted this round :x

These two pics are much stronger and I can appreciate the setting more from them! The second is a bit on the dark side though, so the first one would be better.

So much Awesome Epsil!

I recognize the location of that bottom one, Epsil. ;D Beautiful as usual.

Thanks for the feedback, Marik! I almost completely obscured my face because that seems to be how all of the Garlean superior officers' armor is; showing pretty much zero skin. I tried to make use of my remaining face flesh by smirking. ^_^'

You and me both Adam... I'm really worried about that round.
