Nice! guessing you aren't using your phone as the picks are clearer?

The blood drop on the shoulder pad is neat! Ill have to give you another whirl with that glaze to make it all shiny. the white DC really works well IMHO, fantastic so far, cant wait for more

Bud. Your picture orientation is throwing me off!

Other wise i like. I'd go back in and do a bit more highlighting on the red to make it pop. Other wise your washes look good!

Actually, I am, I just fixed the Macro.... Got a new phone so any pics from now on should be much nicer,

Thanks LDP! From you that means alot! Yea, not having a blue wash means the drop just looks incomplete..... It's on the list though

Sorry! Experimenting with the new phone......
I just higlighted the red and it already looks tonnes better!

Thanks guys!

Heh, so that's why the pics aren't orientated the right way

Hey guys. Two days of work on the chaplain. I'm pleased

c and c please!

I first looked at the chaplain and thought 'hmm, he's maybe leaning a little too much backwards' then I figured he actually looks kickass! That's a solid landing pose and with the jump pack I think this guys gunna look fantastic! Posing is a really important aspect of having a neat army, and you've done a good job here. Well done.
Great work on the bases too! & the shoulder pad yellows are pretty dang solid!

Thanks LDP! I changed my recipie for yellow and I am really pleased. The pose wont make much sense until I add the jump pack

Thanks for all your help mate! I could not have done any of this without you.

great work proto
that head looks familiar to me
I love the bases and the poses look amazing

arcal

Hahah You should recognise it! You gave it to me

Here's the 'super-secret-under-lock' update that you gave me a sneak peak of...
Nice!

Nice update. I'm really liking the Chappy.

Small bit of C&C, the red on your DC (the white models) looks a bit flat, and thin in places, note sure if it's the photo's but. I'd give it a couple of thin coats with the base coat to bring it up a bit, then highlight with and orangey red. The new Wild Rider Red from GW is retty good I've found.

@mk yes siree this is the secret update. I couldn't wait any longer.

evildrcheese. thanks for the feedback. I will give it a go when I get home. You wouldn't happen to know the old version of that red?

Another update! Dont worry about him though. He's 'armless

looking good, i really like the chest eagle

arcal

I like all of the small things you have done; the Eagle, Gun Holster, Tear on the Helmet and Purity Seal.

Oh damn! Seeing that yellow all over now and its made a huge improvement!

Ooh, nice proto!

I think the Wild Rider Red is one of the new colours. (not 100% this, someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I think you could get a similar tone with a mix of Blood Red and Blazing Orange though. I'd start 1:1 and graduially add more Blazing Orange til you're happy with the tone though.

The new mini is looking really crisp. Great job.

Alright guys 'n' gals, I need a hand here.... Every photo that I take is terrible, the yellow looks awful, and nothing like it actually looks in person.. Anything I can do?

All I can really say is better lighting, maybe try near a window or a flurecent (spelling?) light?

Does your camera have a macro setting? It's a setting used for close up photography, especially of small objects.

It should be represented on your camera as a little flower it should look a little something like this:



Thanks for the kind words n my P&M blog by the way. I'm pretty slow for updates, but should have my dev squad up by the end of the month.

also take a pic of somthing "pure white" to give a color balance reference.

My old camera, that I was using before, had macro, but my new phone (samsung galaxy S) doesn't have it. You just tap the screen where you want to focus, that seems to do the same thing. Maybe a white sheet of paper in the background should fix my photo problems.

Thanks guys!

Oh and BTW, if you have time you should check out Evildrcheese's blog, some very nice painting in there.

That's a really nice yellow.

Like a blank piece of paper, slightly curving so the sharp edges don't throw it off.

I think the photo is an actual improvement. I agree you should find a suitable color background to use. Something that isn't replecting light. I like dark blue or black. Also indirect or filtered lighting helps. direct lighting caruse the yellow to " white out" the figure.

Start asking around to some of the more professional photo guys- the ones whose photography you like and ask them what they do. Dakka is great for that.
