well lets see, you've heard of vanhelsing have'nt you?, well my short will be a parody based on the well known character, but with a difference, the main character is going to be an indian,

Be looking forward to seeing it.
On the images they look very dark (which I assume your going for) but I think that some nice lighting so you get some highlights/ not total black shaddows would look good and set the character off.

i apreciatte the crit, i'm still trying to sort the lighting out, i'll try to make a better posterOriginally posted by NeoStrider
well as far as the posters are concerned... i think i'd treat it more like a movie poster. at the moment what you've got are a few renders with some words put over top. a teaser makes people want to go see it, and so far i'm not interested. you should take a look at some movie poster references and create a collage with a decent design. add some phrases hinting to the plot that make people want to know more. stuff like that. otherwise, you've just got a few (poorly lit) w.i.p. renders. show your stuff off, man! be proud of it! give it some production value!

at the same time, you could just go into the attribute editor of your camera, under the environment tab change the background color, and then render in mental ray with final gather turned on.
