Me.
It's a followup to that pic : [link]
It was based off of a Half-life 2 induced craze dream. Played too much of the thing and zombies infested my dreams where a crowbar, a radio station and some kickassage happened

Richard: My mother said "He" left to fight another war. Others say "He" left us for dead. I don't know which, or what, is true about "Him". What I do know is this; wether I am alone, or with others, I WILL carry out "His" mission: to free the Earth from the Combine; to protect my home.
I hope this may inspire a theme for your possible story. So good luck!

It's like a chibi version of the game! Though it always confused me why the human power grid was still operational years after the downfall of society. It's like "dear god aliens are attacking! Better keep the TVs running."

Once again, The Lionheart has asserted his excellence in all things.
To have already orchestrated sluberous visions with such unparalleled marvelance once before was commendable to say in the least, but to again take hold the reins of ambition to replicate the same concept with freash life is a moritorious task indeed, and the resulting creation almost bids revnance in it's majesty.
The trait most striking in this new wonder to behold from The Lionheart is the world in which this skilfully crafted mastery dwells, from the ground at it's feet to the very ends of the horizon. In time past, The Lionheart once claimed establishing an enviornment his beloved wroks was a weak point; the counter-evidence here almost gives rise to the conjecture that such traits are innate. From the nieghboring vehicle to the many engineerial constructs running down long and melancholy streets, to the fearsome citadel, that great obelisk of opression, all contain life in artistic skill as much as the air of a restained world waiting to strike back. No better is this message more fervantly transfixxed than in the heavens, the photogenic radiation cast from the dawning sun is truly an awe-striking view to partake, on both creative and metaphoric standpoints; it carries the banner of revolution and freedom as it ushers in a new day. It brings peaceful thoughts, does it not?
Nods of approval are due to The Lionheart for the inclusion of the previously illustrated radio broadcasting facility; it stands as a monument to The Lionheart's victory against the army of undead. To which it is to be added that no crowbar would be complete without The Lionheart weilding it into battle; it's many scars serve testament to triumph hard earned, and now it's thirst for the blood of The Wallace Breen eminates from it's every molecule.
The respect The Lionheart deserves is boundless.

Your welcome; had fun writting it. (was a little harder this time around, though; I was pretty much going back to dictinary.com for every sentence and even had to save it in my notes for lack of time once.)

It's not a matter of 'That cool' as much as if you like FPSes with good stories.
It's all a matter of taste. I like it, because it is different than most in many aspects.

I did a quick lookup of HDR at Wikipedia. As best as I can understand, the technique is like dodging and burning in film photography. It is a way to compensate for the narrow range of exposure inherent in image making, both film and digitally.
For example. The human eye can perceive a wide range of light and shade. This is not the case with a camera. I can look at a scene where there is both lighted and dark areas, and see the details in both. This is not due to the mechanism of the iris--like seeing in dimmer light--but the sensitivity of the inner surface of the eye.
The camera has a narrower (and I must borrow a word from physics) bandwidth--and I hope Iβm using that word correctly. If you adjust your exposure--or f-stop-- for a darker area, you overexpose the lighter area--and get glare. If you set your exposure for the lighter area, you underexpose the darker area and get shadow.
The film photographer had a couple alternatives. Bracketing--taking your picture, and then taking a few more, deliberately over- and under-exposing, and hoping for the best--or dodging and burning--over--or under-developing different areas of the print--which is how Ansell Addams got his stunning prints of Yosemite by moonlight.
Digital photography made it easy to superimpose or stitch the light and dark areas of the same scene, drawing from multiple exposures.
I think I know what Iβm talking about. My film darkroom experience is nil. Iβve done some lightening and darkening with software.
Now--what does your humble servant notice about the picture. I interpret it a couple ways. The sunrise concludes a night of harrowing battle, and morning brings a promise of victory--or, the sunrise concludes a night of calm and morning brings a dreadful prospect of war--no quarter given, no holds barred.
The clue--as I see it, is found in the way he is tensed up. He doesnβt hold the crowbar loosely. Itβs gripped. His arm is drawn back.
And the sky--not clear and serene--those are roiling clouds of smoke. Itβs like the old saying--red sky at morning, sailor take warning.
Every obverver brings to the picture his own feelings and values--sometimes seeing things not directly intended by the artist. You wanted to depict
Freeman, the pitiless basher of zombies and quasi-humans in the post apocalypse--like βI Am Legendβ or βMad Maxβ or βThe Omega Manβ. I see your other char, Richard Lionharte--the chivalric figure--the knight--the sentinel--the defender of the defenseless. Like Galahad. Like the name of the old English king Richard Le Coeur de Lion.

I could be a real dickead and say 'I just wanted to draw that character after his night of survival'
Thus negating everything ^^
But HDR happens to be fairly new in realtime3d-rendered scenes. While I didnt catch on what it was about at first, I noticed that I subconsciously saw things that were shrouded in the light or hidden in the shadows. It was pretty cool.
Still, instead of just going for an all out bash of infected, I just showed him in the aftermath of a night where only HE seems to have survived and stares towards what is 'The Enemy'.

HEY! That ain't no headcrab zombie I see there. What is this heresy.
Ahem. I absolutely adore the citadel, the posing...The general feel the series so far has is just... I don't know. It draws me in.
π: 0 β©: 1
I picture this as being, like, Gordon'S son or grandson.. the headcrabs take over cells instead of heads and turn then into more terrifying crowbar-weak zombies
or something..
I didnt think it completely through
Still, I like HL as well.. and I'm honored you like my art ^^

The Freeman would be wise not to stare directly into the sun.

Wow that's a really impressive vision of Half Life. It reminds me of an HDR photo.

I recently found tutorials to create HDR pics from 3 sources of the same. But thanks
