step by step painting and basing stuff coming soon...

I know I suck at painting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532069.page GMT IG's Blood Angels / IG blog...
The painting seems fine, though. The gold on the SG looks good. Only problem is the seeming lack of coverage on the red on the DC model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532073.page GMT IG's Blood Angels / IG blog... RAW format and I optimize them for a well set monitor/screen, as I do with all of my photos. If detail is lost in black, I meant for it to be that way. I am not good enough at painting to take the pics with my speedlight and light them up like a fething christmas tree like they do over at GW....

hey thanks. and yeah, he is a WIP, but thanks very much for pointing that out.


also, I will be doing some SFX when I find it to be neat/necessary...

stay tuned...

argh my macro lens makes them look tops, but it also finds all of my flaws...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1532099.page GMT IG's Blood Angels / IG blog...

I apologize if you cannot see these correctly. But I assure you its your monitor/display settings. I see them perfectly, along with my little mistakes in painting that I didn't even notice until I looked at the pics on my computer.

It is a blog though, so I will light up the next pictures better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1533588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1533588.page GMT IG's Blood Angels / IG blog...

Case in point: The pictures of the chaplian: The background is just off black, the armour is slightly brighter in the lightsource, but where the armour is shaded, it belnds in with the background. I cannot tell if you have actually highlighted the model, or if its just the composition of the lighting/photo.

Again, with the deathcompany model, half the torso is in blackness. I can see no detail there.

Im not wanting to be harsh, not insult you in any way, you have skills. Im just saying that taking this type of photo (while they look cool) may not be the best if you want constructive feedback on your painting skills, which I thought this thread was trying to develop?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1533682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292245/1533682.page GMT IG's Blood Angels / IG blog...

Valk


thanks, man!...I will make sure to adjust lighting and camera settings on the next update tonight.

Frodo wrote:Awesome Macro skills man! Some really tasty artsy photos! I reckon a bit of blood red for the highlights would really make the models pop though.


thanks! So you mean blood red on the blood drops, vials, and such? I put some, but maybe it needs more?

noted. I will take some more of them tonight, when I post some of the IG pictures. I guess since I already took pictures of the chap, I just took these to accentuate the details not picked up from the other photos...here you are!
