<div class="IPBDescription">taking a while</div> k well this has been WIP for about 4 or so days,, most of it was designed in me head with imagination so its pretty hard to keep the image in ya head for 4 days when ya cant draw (sick) ..
i ended up drawing it today finally, took 3 hrs on paper, beleive it or not, on paper it took 2 layers. so 2 sheets of paper, 1 for the hall and 1 for the characters.. I started colouring it but i need to take a break , so far spent 2 hrs colouring..

Just one question though, are most of those skulks on the ground dead?
n/m - would have to be, just looked odd because I had to picture the blood pools on my own for now
Roffles me Waffles. Made with 2 tubs of toothpaste, a bit of baking soda... I imported these SS2 walls, to NS.
Generally, I suck at critisising <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
But what I'm trying to say, in short, is to make it darker. Right now it's too...uhhh....bright?
Dont forget the mess of alien blood splattered all across that wall. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Although the marine looks like hes falling asleep rather than about to die <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

It's best to know the connections of who's who here, and just importantly who's with who; failure to pay attention may result in pain.
I kid! I kid!

most ns corridors are more articulate than a hollow box, they have curved walls etc. also with your walls atm, they're pretty bland (i'm not sure if you're adding to it), but half-life style colour coding aren't really "NS".
the most effective way to paint something in photoshop is not to detail each wall as you're doing, then the floor, rather you actually paint how you'd see it (if you get what i mean). try experimenting with keeping to one layer and use brush strokes to show the texture and detail of the corridor, rather than making the corridor using your method (i'm guessing) of polygonal select tool for coloured bars etc..
thats how i'd do it, anyway
When I first looked at the picture I saw the skulk lying on its side, the fade coming in the door, and the... erm... something at its feet. Figured out that it's a dead skulk, but my first thought was a little more late-Christmassy:
