[SVX]

Nice and fresh! Keep it up!

 

[jgda9rs]

this reminds me that i should finish that project i have in my hard drive that's been rotting there for months. should bring it out.
i wonder if the Integrale is really as slow as they rendered it in gt5 prologue? coz in gt4 it seemed quite alright.

 

[MinoltaMan89]

I haven't played GT5P in a while, but if I remember correctly the Delta wasn't too slow.

 

[jgda9rs]

i think it might have been a miscalculation in their part. just curious. sorry to go off topic i'll work on my entry tomorrow... if i have time. everytime i say that i end up jinxing myself

 

[MinoltaMan89]

If jg enters, we'll all be screwed

 

[Watchman]

Touché.

 

[jgda9rs]

If jg enters, we'll all be screwed

[MinoltaMan89]

Great shot NISM0. Surprised that nobody has used a Stratos yet though.

Final Entry

​

this is one of the most unique shots i've seen here for a while. i like the framing job, using the crowd to mask irrelevant areas in the picture. makes me feel like i'm there

 

[speedemon08]

Really gives the spirit of rallying. I likes!

preview

this has got to be the worst update i have ever done in a long time...
it's just not up to my liking at all.




​

 

[Watchman]

I like the tones in that preview, Adrian. The road surface looks good and the wall looks realistic. The car is cleaned up and shows good reflections. The sky is very realisic, as well. 👍

 

[SVX]

Awesome work! Keep it up!

I'm not so crazy about the pinkish hue, but other than that, a Very good job!

The reflections and touch-ups are very well done (could have used a few more minor tweaks though), I like the background colors, and Cloudscape. Nice stance and angle, and that wall does a good job at leading your eye through the shot. Also the ground effect looks pretty realistic too. I got to say this is on of the stronger shots in the Competition.

Please, don't take my negative comments as anything other than knit-picking the shot. You are one of the better Artists here, so I think you require stronger analysis than some of the other newer entrants.

I'm with you there. the car is not quite as sharp for my likings, but the background is done well

 

[jgda9rs]

[GrumpEone]
