Thats a pretty incredible pic right there. The lighting and detail are amazing. A very cool action position. Just wondering, is it that hitman from the movie, it looks very similar.

no the hitman wasn't really the inspriration but i guess it does have a smilarity

I'd like to see the model render before the PS work. The blown-our highlights and murky shadows really bug me.

It's a very nice composition, and has a great feel of light and motion. The complete lack of facial expression is a little troubling, but that may be the nature of the character. Also, it would seem to me that if the round has left the barrel, then the slide on the pistol should be at least partway back. Of course, there's the whole problem of what's right vs. what looks good... XD

here are the maya renders and the composite

nice modeling.. only that the leg looks as if doesn't have anything on it.
the lighting is a bit too moody for my taste. way too harsh specs and shadows
