(URL) more experimentation, simple directional blur on parts of the image conveys motion (left arm, top of gun, gun discharge). Still haven't figured out how to do realistic lighting effects without a real light source. "K" (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Very nice indeed! But then again, such a comment would be rather useless, since you know that already. Here are some ideas for similar images: 1. In Gundam Wing (which is the only MS series I have ever seen) the mobile suits are fixed while firing. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I personally like the dark tone to it. But that's just an opinion. The darkness around the gundam draws your attention to the BAR which is quite bright and seeing as that is probably the obvious focal point that Brian would want, it works pretty (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I would like to apologize. I was reading Mladen's post about a "link it to my universe" and infringement on his stuff, and it occurred to me that I know another similar case: mine. On my website I have used Brian Cooper's calendar, page format, and (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Pretty cool... though I think a big burly gun needs big burly beams coming out of it. :^) Beef up the beams a bit and I think you'll have it. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I was sort of imagining he was in low power rapid fire mode, trying to track a fast moving target (hence the blur), at least this is what I settled on when another attempt at a big blossoming beam looked cheesy because it didn't light up the (...)

Using Photoshop (a very old version too): 1)draw a very light blue line about 10 pixels thick 2)use smudge (finger) tool set to "Lighten Only" and 75% pressure. 3)smudge outward from the line, like making little light streaks at about 45 (...)
