    It would have looked better from behind/side so you can see the screens? The blue light kinda looks like he's getting abducted by aliens.

    Try uping the transparancy. And just out of interest, see what it looks like with a wire frame effect.

    Nice idea tho <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    try <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=48542&hl=comm+chair' target='_blank'>this</a> commchair instead... it will look better, i think.

    It would look better after you add ground, and a backround.

    It makes the commander seem like he is really inside a holoroom instead of a commchair. Like the moment you enter the chair everything fades out and the world seems to turn into a virtual reailty.

    As for ideas: Add some different poses and mesh them in. Perhaps show the outside world in a translucent state and some skulks destroying the base and the commchair while he is busily doing whatever. Or show a nuclear blast int he background and some debris in corriders blowing up when he presses the screen. Make it into a comic? I could see a situation where a marine is in a life and death situation and the commander sacrifices him.

    I don't know what you can or cannot do ( I sure can't), but that is all I could think of right now.

    Put him in a gridded sphere thingy....( If you don't know what I mean, maybe I should say wireframed sphere) with the comm floating in the middle of it, and it will be teh pwn.

    EDIT : TSA Blue would go well with it me thinks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It needs a proper background. That picture is like part of something bigger, be it background from ns_bast 'commander quarters' or few marines shooting skulkies.

    or maybe a skulk crawling around on top of it

    basically you need something to stop the left-hand side looking so empty ^^;
    like most people suggested a background would help =3

    I actually quite like this. But, as ever, i do have my gripes. Heh. But i'll be nice.

    The screens look really cool, but they're too pale, if they're supposed to be projected or holograms, you'd expect them to be a lot brighter, think how additive blending works. Also, their colour is rather pale, i'm not saying it should be OTT vibrant or anything, but maybe a little more colour to them.

    As to the background, i personally like plain backgrounds, but i feel the grey and the black *somehow* don't work. I know black works with everything, but it just doesn't feel "right". Have you experimented with a single colour background at all? Also, possibly true two different shades of grey with not a massive leap in contrast like it is now.

    Sweater + Box = nice esuna. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    remove that black/gray thing...I think you are trying to make the top half see through and the bottom not...That does not look good remove it.

    Enlarge it! I would love that background
