Thanks for the positive feedback guys!
Yeah. I think doing the custom "dirty, realistic" look is alot harder for me than trying to just do flat colors. I would like to do more people that fit into my regular display. All my extra figures are crappy comic pack repaints...so I am going to have to find away to make this work. Maybe have a secondary display of this paint style... |

What kind of camera do you use?
I found that many cameras are set to "shooting for dummies" by default. I was having a hell of a time taking pictures of my customs. Flashes ruin the picture, but room lighting just wasn't working. This is what I had to try: I changed the background. A bright white background over exposes the shot and makes you figure look dark. I switched to using more neutral colors or even darker colors to allow the figure to "pop". If your camera allows you to do so, manually change your white balance setting. This allowed me to use a simple lamp near the figure with the white balance set for incandescent lighting. The figure appears brightly lit without the usual reddishness given off from standard light bulbs. If you use flourescents, it's a different setting since those usually cast off a bluish light. |
