Nice work, Cap'n!


Thank you youwashock.

Just wondering what I should do for the photos. I do not have photoshop and was just wondered if I should try and tweak the brightness and contrast with office?

Cheers,

CB

Would an extra day help? We still have all of today, and if you need tomorrow that could be arranged. See how you are doing tonight, and we’ll work from there.


With an extra day, I might get to at least an acceptable level, although it won't be anything special. If you're willing to give me until midnight tomorrow local time (CDT) I might have something to submit.

Don’t make me do time zone math, just get it done. Extension granted. Have a spare day.

And start thinking about August everyone:

I’ll leave this open for a day for late entries and pictures, but feel free to get started on the new month.

Well- procrastination kills me. Again!
I had finished a while ago and put off photographing the Ork Mekanikus because I dreaded cleaning off my painting table- then proceeded to use my dresser top and moved things out of the way and it took 30 seconds. Anywhoo, I'm my own worst critic, but here ya go!

Body is old pewter nob, head is burna boy mask and fantasy faceplate, and there are various other bits that were trash or stuff sitting around.
And yes, that is a bread heating implement of toasting on the ground.

I got Azrael to a slightly not embarrassing state, so I'll go ahead and drop some pics. It's very late here and I'm too tired to fart around with the lightbox, so just some quick and dirty pics on my messy desk instead:



Garbage photos are garbage, but I'm just lucky I was in any state to finish. Work has been killing me lately and I just haven't had energy for painting much. Eventually I'll get around to touching this guy up and taking proper photos in the lightbox, but this is what there is for now. Don't feel any need to throw any sympathy votes my way.

I hope that you just need to update the time setting on your camera and you weren’t up until 2:44 AM painting! It’s a school night! /dadmode. You don’t get sympathy votes, you get them for dedication and accomplishment. Well done.

OK, that’s our extension folks. Break out the hot stuff and see you in the next comp. Vote thread might be a little late (early next week) or I might manage it sooner. We’ll see.

It was not 2:44, but rather around 1:40 or so. Still too late to be up painting.
