Screenshot of the Month Submission Thread (October)

[Spoofa]

I wonder why RTW made their general's hold their swords so rigidly.

[NeoSpartan]

I would swear that some screenshots look like "paint by number". It really detracts from the excellent work done painstakingly by our talented modders.

A slight change in hue can really add to a picture, but otherwise I have to agree that the overdone screenshot pics, while artistically interesting, don't often add any to the beauty of a good screenshot.

My two favourites are Antiochus Megas At River Arius (207 BCE) and Ephesus captured!.

I think they should have 2 competitions.

One for UNALTERED Screens and one for ALTERED screens.

Otherwise, what we are having right now is like a boxing match between a "feather weight" vs a "heavy weight".

I call this Unfair Odds:

[kemozz]

excellent screenshots voting this month is going to be really tough

[Geoffrey S]

Seen a couple I really like, by Kampfkrebs, Thaatu, and Charge. Question about the last one, have those building textures been changed? I don't remember that much colour.

[Admetos]

I'm guessing from the title it is the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. And I must say Charge, that is one amazing screenshot.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I call this Unfair Odds:

Would be most excellent if those awful banners ( - since I did them) weren't in the pic!

[Beefy187]

The pic with Gallic soldier flying is my favourite

Made me laugh

[Cataclysm]

Hi,

I just took this one today from my 1.0 Karthadastim game. Xanthippus leading his mercenaries against Numidia.

I'll call it "Shadows and Dust"

[Charge]

Thanks to all who appreciate my work
btw, I alredy have an idea of the next screenshot .

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Changed my previous entry.

I was wrested from my laziness and paradoxical ways to go back to my custom of entering non-heavily-edited images into the competition. Gotta uphold tradition.

[Charge]

I have changed mine too. But it is almost same...

[Megas Pyrrhos]

I have changed mine too. But it is almost same...

I at least think it's better without the random light....nicely done.

[Admetos]

Well, I would also like to change my submission.

This is called "Sunrise Over the Peloponnesus"

[Jolt]

Awesome!! As far as my opinion goes. Charge's picture is simply THE BEST picture I have ever seen in RTW. Mind-boggling would be the right description for the picture. Congratulations man! :)

[blank]

here's mine; i would call it "old tired phalanxes"

[Hooahguy]

not another winning screen!!!!!!
lol!

[Bootsiuv]

You guys forced me to learn more about photoshop....I already knew about layers and levels and all of that crap, but I've been delving deeper into the program, since unedited shots never win.

This month, I'll take it to the other extreme, and use a highly edited pic...I don't have 1.0 yet, so this is from my final Sabyn Campaign...I might edit it out after I get 1.0, but I think it's kind of cool.

General in the Desert Sun


@Blank

You make it very hard to win. Another outstanding shot.

[Hooahguy]

That's the point.


I agree. Nevertheless, I submit a heavily modded screen shot because those are the only ones that ever win. And until separate categories are created, I will continue to do so.

YES YES i really agree! i am tired of photshoped screens only winning......

[Decimus Attius Arbiter]

People can send them in anyway, but using photoshop to create faux-impressionist paintings just doesn't work for me. Enhancing the picture is fine as long as it doesn't take attention away from the pic as a whole.

[Tellos Athenaios]

YES YES i really agree! i am tired of photshoped screens only winning......

*wonders why Oleo's shots won then; and how on earth Thaatu got so close every so often*

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Nice picture bootsiuv....and as with all heavily modified images, I don't mean to sound offensive but...

I can't tell wth it is supposed to be. I plainly see a horse...and that's about it.

Nice otherwise

Had to rant about the whole photoshopped-to-hell images...done now.

Also, nice one again, blank.

[Charge]

Poll will be public?

[Bootsiuv]

Heh, yeah, it's the first time I've ever really modified anything in Photoshop....I'll likely edit it out and change my entry before the due date, but I thought it was good for s***s and giggles.

BTW, its a shot of a Rebel General with a bodyguard of Arabian Light Cavalry attacking my Red Sea Infantry.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

lol

[TWFanatic]

Blank, what's the red thing in the distance in your picture? It looks like the flag of a berserker unit after they've gone into blood lust.

[Moros]

elephants running amok?

just a guess...

[Zaknafien]

you guys just dont appreciate art ;)

[paullus]

I kinda think I'd like Blank's better without the photoshop work, and without the banners. I'm a sucker for the (at least mainly) untouched, epic shots of guys like Thaatu and Megas Pyrrhos. I feel like Justiciar, when he's around, usually submits nice shots of close combat, and good Celtic shots. I still think the Capital One shot should've won that month.

[Hooahguy]

*wonders why Oleo's shots won then; and how on earth Thaatu got so close every so often*

well, whenever i have seen the competition, an edited screen has won......
