It came out really well overall but the Atlas/Recluse statue came out bad since the Recluse statue is so dark? Should I change it to a solid Atlas or Arachnos?

Thanks. Wanted something I could use to show off my characters when people ask me about CoX.

Dude, that's wallpaper quality stuff right there. I especially love how they're all in unique poses, great touch. How'd you put it together?

Demo editing magic.

I recorded 2 demos in Recluse's Victory, 1 while heroes were in control and 1 while villains had the reigns. Next was recording a demo for each of my characters to get their costume information so I could custom place them in the map. That was the easy part. Next I had find the right move animations to pose them and get the animation timing just right so they would be in they perfect pose when I hit the print screen button.
I had to place bad guys behind the camera for the three characters attacking. The demo playback will not display an attack unless there is a proper target.

HEROES:
The Fire/Stone tank on the left is using the stomp animation from his fault attack.
The Broadsword scrapper up front is right at the end of the twirl animation from the whirling sword power.
The Psychic defender hovering on top is using 'Will Domination' on the placed bad guy behind the camera.
The female controller is using 'Ice Blast' also on the placed bad guy.
The Scrapper up above is half way thru the Martial Arts Stunkick animation gotten from the Eagles' Claw move.
The last one is the Tank using the taunt animation.

VILLAINS:
Bottom left is the Robot Mastermind holding the mastermind soldier rifle and his Assault Bot in the back going thru the QUADGUNS animation.
The lady on top is using a basic FLYPRE animation.
Next to her is one of my stalkers in the JUMPFALL position.
In the middle is my Radiation Corruptor using X-Ray beam on another placed badguy.
Up front my Spines Stalker is at the end of the animation from the 'Ripper Power'.
Far right is My Dark Melee/Fiery Aura Brute using 'Dark Consumption.

I took 2 screenshots, 1 hero map, 1 villain map, then cut one in half and paste'd it onto the other one. It was a bit more involved then what I posted but that is the rundown.

I just started reading up on demo editing so this took about 8 or 9 hours to complete. Sloth's Screenshot and Demo Guide and Demo File Format FAQ is where I got started.
