I posted this on the Digital Illustration forum. Thats kind of a slow forum I think so I want to post this here too.

I'm a huge fan of Dave Hill... And this is no where near his level but this is definatly the first step i've taken towards that kind of a result.

C&C Appreciated please...

before and after included.

cool!

I like it. It reminds me of one of the tribute paintings.

Looks intense. I'm sure the photoshop time was intense too... how long did it take you to do the edits?

About 3 hours. It wouldn't have taken that long if I knew what I was doing lol..

Also.. about halfway through Photoshop crashed!!! O.O;;;;;; I tried to run an action and it brought the whole thing down. So I had to start over.

I am going to try experimenting with getting the sirens to look like they are on.

And if you guys dont know who Dave Hill is, you should definately check out his site..

Great stuff in the advertising. I think FM'r Rian Flyn works with him aswell.

Btw. really cool shot. b/g looks much better aswell.

Crashed and had to start over

You mean you keep saving a .psd as you went along?

Interesting edit, but sorry, this looks nothing like Dave Hill's style.

I dont usually save hte .psd as I go. but I did the second time around with this one.

I thought for sure that adobe had some sort of crash recovery built in - but I guess not =/

Are you going to have some simulated audio waves or are you talking about having the lights on?

Since I said "Look like they are on" And you cant see sound waves, its probably safe to assume I meant making the lights come on.
