Description
Hey I produced something again!SFM+Photoshop
A lone detective takes a stroll in the streets of Kong King.
I spent an entire evening working on this poster, should really kick the habit.
I would very much like feedback on this image, as I tried playing around with lights to achieve the same volumetric effect as seen on some of the more flashy SFM posters out there.
By the way, I know that scout looks like he's on the standing pose, but he's actually in a walk cycle, it's just the frame cuts it off.

Light's a bit intense, but it's good.
Oh, and by the way, this is pretty much Kong King on a Monday night. We go around doing our business, ignoring the mass gang fights between the two triad gangs that go on near the control point and the areas underneath it. It's died down a bit, but at the height of the Kong King Gang War, over 20,000 people were killed in a year. Yes, it was that bad.

A little too intense for a night setting, just as I thought.
Huh...quite the tough times I see.

They've now limited their fights to nighttime-before it was all day long. And as they converted their standard-issue weapons (different on each side) to fire more rapidly, let's just say that they weren't always aiming properly.

One of my uncles was hit by a stray grenade in the head and now has to use a cane to walk. Before that, he had to use a wheelchair.

Hmm...must have been quite tough.

He now walks quite slowly, and the police have put up massive, 12 foot barricades around their fighting area and bulletproof windows for those who live there.

In case you need more info, here's their loadouts:
The Magistrates (RED)
They worship the famous folk hero/egalitarian judge/badass Magistrate Bao, and are subsequently named after him. As they watch a lot of gangster movies, they pattern their clothes and weaponry after American Gangsters.
Their crimes include shooting, beating someone to death, one-way-rides, kidnappings, bombings, illegal gambling, bank robbing and bootlegging.
They control the south area of Kong King and are known for being excellent shots with their fully automatic gun conversions, often outgunning the police, such as the infamous battle with police in their biggest liquor factory at the docks, where only 4 of the 7000 policemen sent to capture it survived.

You did a good job with the lights, but it's too intense that it doesn't even look like a "night".

I thought the light was a little too intense for a nighttime theme. I tried toning down the mapscale to make it darker, but it didn't work out well, it also made the lights too weak.

Try tuning down the intensity next time. ^^

I will. I'll just keep experimenting.
