So I have an N-Scale figure of the Phoenix Hawk IIC made by Elfbait, amazing figure but it isn't proportioned right. Its too squat, so after throwing it into Photoshop, I reproportioned it closer to how it should look. When I was done with that, I realized, "hey, this looks a lot like that pic of the Steel Viper Phoenix Hawk IIC walking though the Devils Bath on Tukayyid." Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool to do up a more realistic version of that picture? So I went online, found some suitable backgrounds and created this. What do you guys think?

I never liked the Phoenix hawk IIC. Looks too much like a gundamn and the legs never look like they could support its fat upper body. With my bias it looks OK though.

If this one can transform, I'd consider it a Robotech rip-off and assume it would never become a Reseen like its' older brother. If not, my bad xD

It's a pretty decent design,add some shaders/filter the pic so it looks more like a single image (photoshop) and it would be perfect! I like the pic how it is, just providing some suggestions. All you have to do is mess with levels in a photoshop program for a while till it looks uniform and there you go!

Also, if you do use photoshop but aren't an advanced user, should probably mention using the "magic lasso" if your program comes with it to adjust the levels of certain sections in the pic. A good example being the mech itself, once again to add uniform lighting throughout the image and make it look even better than it is!

EDIT: It looks really good atm lighting-wise with the exception of the light shafts from the background. I know that light is supposed to be a little overwhelming for effect, which is why I would suggest adding a "sun-ray/halo" effect around the top. Would look top-notch. Otherwise, could use a little toning down.
Once again, awesome mashup/image, just wanna give ya some pointers!
