looks good to me. but you really should start using sharp edged brushes. they give the impression of much more solid and self-confident brush strokes then those blurry brushes.
an example:

really nice work none the less
you should adjust the colour of the fog.. otherwise it looks like a good start to me.
heh.. had quite some fun doing the redesign of xen for nightwatch. unfortunatly nw died when hl2 came out.
heres a shot of the xen remake
[Blocked Image: http://www.sa74n-design.de/nightwatch/xen_preview2.jpg]
made a few textures out of sponges, mushrooms, cellular images, diseases and painted a lot directly in ps. heavily depends on the sources and what you do with it with ps.

trying to learn how to handle my recently aquired wacom tablet.
didnt know that mapcore is alive again .. yays
hey.. finally got that model ingame and now out the door.
download: CLICK HERE
i know there is another panzercop model that has been released a few months ago but i actually started working on this model about a year ago and learned a lot since then. to be honest this is my first character ever that got ingame. i made the model, uvs and two textures sheets completly myself. at first it was supposed to be animated but that guy who wouldve done that didnt find the time and the model abandoned until a few weeks ago.
anyway - proud to present:

looks funky.. reminds me of good ol "they hunger".
the house looks a bit too clean from the outside though.
lol.. that van in the wall looks splendid 
oh ... okay. everything excused 
maybe you should try using huge (animated) particles additionally to have the fog appear somewhat dynamic and not as static as in hl1/2 ?
did i mention that most characters look excellent ? wewt
i spotted hl2 props :

sadly it doesnt look as atmospheric as i had hoped it would be .. but well - these are just some (as you said -> badly taken) screenshots. the fog looks like the hl1 one and there arent many shadows.
anyway - cool stuff
you should take out all the fantasy game models from 2002.
and when you're working with normalmaps you should render them aswell so that the portfolio viewer can see the nmaps effect.
that blarg looks like it has some serious modelling errors (whats wrong with the hands/arms?!)
i like your btu-games stuff. looks really inspiring!
Quote from CampaignjunkieNice stuff! Really has a warm, autumn harvest kind of feeling. I think I recognize the 3rd shot from somewhere though... Destiny?
ah yea.. i remember you hanging around on our boards.
yes - the level was started for the singleplayermode that never really got far. too sad the mod died - but i liked the way the map looked and felt so i made a map for cs out of it. i'm happy with the way it looks now.
thats the reason why it may have a slight fantasy-look to it in some places 
edit:
dont worry about the sad fps in some places. i had photoshop, vhammer and maya5 running in the background. also my machine is an 800mhz athlon with 512 mb sd-ram and a gf2mx 
nice
a bit boring in places though.. i like the natural ground textures.
pic9: the right house lacks a wall on top - looks like its flat atm
finally nearing completion

doesnt even look like a projected texture
Quote from EvertOn another thing, lightning in CSS seems very strange on objects, they cast shadows based on non existant light sources.It just looks strange, why is that happening?
the lightsource IS existant.. as it seems, the lightsource for model shadowing is the sun. looks a bit strange but it'd be even uglier without shadows.
fucker..
anyway - thanks kedhrin
hey .. i'm currently into gameplay testing and bug hunting. have to widen a few paths for the sake of gameplay.
no more shots til its finished though. this map project wont die!
i remade the statue.. got some inspiration by giovanni di bologna.
sorry for the texture being just slapped on the model but i dont have much time to uv it and paint a texture for the statue. gotta get this map out of the door soon.
