[SFM] [TF2] Midnight Blues

Published:
2.4K Views

Description

It's the darkest hour
of the darkest night
It's a million miles
from the morning light
Can't get no sleep
don't know what to do
I got those midnight blues


I had a sort of idea for a wallpaper based on "Midnight Blues" by Gary Moore, from his 1990 album "Still Got The Blues". Part of the inspiration came from Gary Moore's description from an interview from 1994, where he stated it's about "the kind of mood that people sometimes get into as it gets dark at night".
The interview mentioned: youtu.be/oi9b660pzu4?t=13m9s
I would have used actual lights in SFM to add glow to the windows in the background, but for some reason, on this map, SFM started crashing whenever I tried to go over 35 lights, so the window glow was made in Photoshop.

Very nice, I'd say to add some rain to add more of an emotional atmosphere, and perhaps some more atmospheric volumetrics in the background? Looks good anyway! :)
