This is going to be where I put all of my armies pictures, and WIP, right now I have Salamanders that are over 75% done, that I will post, and then Dark Eldar that have yet to be primed!

I just finished a Wych, tell me what you think, the skin seems real tough to get right!

I'm being picky. Try to take better pictures. Use the camera in Macro mode with no zoom. Set it on the counter a few inches from the model and use the 2second timer so that you don't move the camera when the picture is taken.

Colors-wise, I like the purple, but I think that the hair needs to be a contrasting color. Maybe bright green (to match the gem on the gun) or white (to match the leg bandanna thing).

The skin looks kind of flat, but that may be just the picture.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2356049.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2356049.page GMT Revackey's P&M Thread! [First DE Painted]

Thanks, I got a fine detail brush which I have been using, I'll get more at the next tournament though.

As for the camera, I will try that, it is on macro setting but I used the zoom, so I'll put it flat on the table next.

I was actually thinking of white, but I like the idea of green I'll try both out.

The skin, I'm not sure about, I'll get a better picture, there is darker parts in the crevices, and shadow, then lighter parts on top.

Thanks a ton for the advice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2356969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2356969.page GMT Revackey's P&M Thread!

You just don't want to add in too many colors. You pretty much want 3-4 main colors that would stay pretty consistent throughout your army. The armor is purplish, the leather is black, the skin is skin-colored, and the hair/gems/token-items are another color.

Adding too many different colors can be distracting, I feel.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2372535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340670/2372535.page GMT Re:Revackey's P&M Thread [First DE Painted]
I have two methods of painting as of now. Tell me which you like more. (The hair is now green.)

These are not done, I simply want C&C on the Armor. (The camera makes the highlights look real thick, in reality they are not.)
