<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Repainted Warlock"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/73.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Repainted Warlock I typically like to paint my minis with nice, muted colors and go for a more "realistic" coloration. I can't stand orange with red shade and yellow highlights, so I want for a more realistic orange.
Also: could some one help me with lighting? I can never get it right.




Edit: I've updated the pictures, and hopefully they look better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414436/3636019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414436/3636019.page GMT Repainted Warlock http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414436/3637891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414436/3637891.page GMT Repainted Warlock
As for lighting, the first thing you can do is build a makeshift light box. I use printer paper to make mine and it works just fine. First, lay a piece of paper on a flat surface, tape one end, and lift the opposite end to make a curve supported by something behind it. Then, stand a sheet of paper on either side also supported by something behind each of them. A bit of tape helps hold things in place.

Finally, light the "box" from the top and front with natural light lamps as best you can. I use a desk lamp from Wall-E World I got for $20. Set camera to Macro and photograph at arm's length.

Here's some good advice on the matter:
