> Assassin is my personal favorite.

Assassin was also my favorite of the four. I liked the misty background, facing away and with the blade barely exposed, it was subtle.

Agreed, Assassin does have that lovely subtlety, with the blade only just visible, but I also like the simplicity of Spy, with the CIO helmet’s lights brightly sticking out and also Insurgent’s posing, could do with zooming out a teensy bit though to get the whole of the AR on his back visible. :slight_smile:

Great work!

A submission or two for for Orange:

Refractive Fotus

Refractive Deadeye

Really liking the Deadeye one!

Deadeye is excellent. I spent some “time” on Solace trying for a sreenshot with a similar back ground just half that nice. Great shot!

Thanks both of you. I see what you mean with Insurgent I will bear that in mind for future screenshots. :slight_smile:

Oh man! Deluca those two are fantastic! They put my orange attempts to shame easily! How did you get the lava-like background for the FOTUS one? One of those is definitely a shoe-in for the Screenshbot Contest this week methinks! :slight_smile:

No problem dakka02. Yeah trying to get the whole Spartan plus his weapon into a picture can be a real nightmare sometimes, especially for myself as I do so many Grifball Screenshots, where the Gravity Hammer it so tall trying to fit it in for a close up shot is a difficult task!

@receptor

To create the lava effect i generally will use large shield doors, one side is blue, one side is red. Using the red side, just barely overlay that on the wall. Turn on juicy and colorblind. Let me double check on everything, but i do know for sure, it wasnt that difficult. If you want, i can upload the room i built.

Got two more, same kinda of shot but I don’t know which I prefer.

I am not sure if these are orange enough. The first one I would love for it to get spread around more.
Infinity Rumble
Under the sun
From ash This one is more yellow.
Sparks

Umm, I just usually take some pics of gameplay. Could you guys tell me how I could make some really epic lone wolf-type screenshots?

The second screenshot would be cooler if I shared the clip that went with this. Total fail on that Red’s behalf. They’re both kinda old screenshots, I need to take more sometime.

This thread has some valuable resources at the first six pages. I will be finding shots soon, and then breaking down how to do the shot.

So orange is this weeks?

I’ll have to get one as I’ve got some armour combos using coral/steel as the armour colours.

If you look at my posts as well I also break down what I used and how I created a number of my Screenshots. One key thing is remember do some on your lonesome in Custom Games, where you can set up your own “Set” with the Forge FX and weapons you need. Looking forwards to seeing what you can put together!

@ Cerillium: Can’t wait to see what you put together!

So I took a few pictures and these are the ones I got.

Its a jungle out there

Not too sure on this one but it looks nice

Lastly this one

Got lazy after a bit as I’m on the laptop at the same time. Might give it another go tomorrow as its Wednesday when its spotlight time?

the last shot is very nice. I like the back lighting.

“From Ash” was definitely my favorite of the four. Great lines, focus and presence.

its that time!

The McFarlane screenshot contest is live!

Rules:
3 winners will be picked each month.

Figures will be picked at random.

You can submit as many or as little as you want. But you can only win once a month.
