Hi all
Haven't posted anything for a few days, as I've exceeded my monthly broadband quota - yes, believe it or not, most of us regular folk in SA have to accept a 'capped' monthly limit, or pay exorbitant prices for unlimited. Not an ideal situation, but I'll be posting more from the beginning of November again.
With regards to the 'in-game' or 'not in-game' backgrounds for shots, let's think about it quickly...
This thread is called 'IL-2 Art', so I think almost anything IL-2 related is acceptable... 8)
There is another thread for IL-2 screenshots, so maybe that should be where the 'in-game' shots are posted?
Or, will that just complicate matters too much? All of my screenies are 'in-game', with minor or no editing done in Photoshop.
So, lets try to get some idea of who wants what - screenies in the screenie thread, 'art' in the art thread, or all mixed-up?
I get a bit confused myself, sometimes, and have posted my screenies in this thread and the screenshot thread. Does it really matter?
PS: Welcome stalkervision - cool shots, although some might be a bit dark, if I had to be critical - although those will certainly look good at night. Good stuff coming from all, keep it up, guys! :lol:

:roll:

If well done, who gives a flip, I like his Closing on Pearl, He blured the Game objects just enough they fit well into the real photo.

I rasied an artist, and some times, artist are real snobs, its amasing how times the rub each aothes back intently, just so later they can run a knife in it.

They tend to use negative reinforcement, in conjunction with positive reinforcement, thus cancelling out anything positive, ever said.
The subject or receiver of the comments will allways take home the negative in his heart, and feel badly about it.

Well, I have to both agree and disagree with GOZR.

It's always nice to see great shots that doesnt need editing, BUT games are all about immersion for me and the graphics we see in IL2 just doesnt seem nowhere near real. So, if something cool happens on my sortie, I usually remake the scene using real photos and by blending the IL2 planes in it. That's just my way to tell the story.

Besides, the title says "IL2 art", well doing composites is art and might I say, quite hard to do. That is of course, if you really want it to look real.

Oh and I love to make these composites, so...

But yeh, I can stop posting them if it bothers someone. :wink:
