Worked on a practice image with Luna at an indoor shooting range. Got her shooting the M16A2 with spare magazines and a Beretta 92FS in the case.
 
Any critique is welcome. If anyone else is also curious to what models I used, I can see if I can find the names/sources of them.
 
Also HUGE thanks for the folks behind NexGen. They did an awesome job with the models, utilities, scripts, source files, and tutorials that made learning and working with the models very easy .
 

 
Artist’s notes:  
Image is rough around the edges with the camera angle and lighting, but did some experiments with the muzzle flash lighting and sprite and some halogen lights in the scene. Experimented with the camera aperture to focus the viewer’s attention on the subject and phase out the dull background. Pose took a good portion of the time to set up, but looks a lot better than a slightly modified “T” pose I’ve noticed a lot of beginners use. Still some improvements to be made there to look more natural in the pose. Basic clothing is all that was included with the model, so I’ll be looking into porting/refitting other clothing to get some variety in the future.
