Why does my iphone camera take better pictures than my Nikon 30D? user error i imagine....

comments and questions welcome... thanks for viewing.
Petey

very nice! Love the posing and the colours.

How did you do your blue?

Looks great, nice combination of a neat paintjob, dynamic pose and a rich base.

Also, I think I'll have to get an iPod.

It shouldn't, depending on your lens.

But, the iPhone has very very good automatic settings, so if you mess up with your lighting or any of your settings on the D30, the iPhone will take a better picture.


Anywho, model looks amazing, I love your gradients.

Not a fan of the green base rim, but nostalgia seems to override good taste, for many.

Lovely model, otherwise. The splashes of colorful (but not overly bright) trim work well with the muted body. For being so omnipresent, the weathering was also kept pleasantly subtle. Great work!

This should be a Golden Demon entry I think

Yeah I catch a lot of flak on here for my bases being green. I am old school and my table top is gonna be green as well when I'm done. I just like the splash of color too on the base. I get why some don't like it.
thanks!

lol thanks! I am gonna enter this in ReaperCon in May. We'll see how it does compared to the masters.

very nice job, I especially like the subtle weathering

The best way I could describe it that while it's dirty, the dirty was cleanly applied, that is deliberate.

I know joining competitions is a nerve-wracking experience but even if you don't win, talking to the masters would certainly help you improve and you'd win in the future definitely.

Good luck!

Looks great, but a Chainmail drybrush may look good on it (don't overdo it).

Honestly a dry brush on this would not do it justice.. It looks great as is, but i think some more dings would work on it.. Other than that like I said amazing job

Subtley awsome, love it. Great mini.

It is ever so awesome..... i made pretty much the exact same guy, but mines paint job sucks.

Brilliant painting. The metals look great - very realistic - and the splashes of red and blue really bring it all alive. Good luck with the competition. It's definitely a worthy entry!

Awesome paint job!

Ok..... I've got a lot to learn yet!

That Kan is awesomesauce!

Luuurrrvley paint job, so smooth!

That is one sexy looking Kan, Petethomas!

As has been said before, the subtlety of the painting is top shelf. It creates little visual surprises all over the model, so you can look at this again and notice some new subtle detail in the weathering or highlighting. I especially love the "lower jaw." It just grabbed my attention first thing.

Loving the bare metal. Very nicely done mate!

Great job

Beautiful work. Nice light touch... Love the color in the eye slot... really sets the figure off and acts as a focal point.

thanks everyone!
