Decided I had to have one...I really wish Hasbro would use the Resolute Scarlett body and make it the colors of the cancelled City Strike Scarlett (which is where it originated anyways). They could even do it and release it in like a DG wave 2...makes too much sense though. Anyways.
Head - ROC Scarlett Hair - resolute baroness (I think) Body - resolute Scarlett mask - sculpted from renegades duke/shockblast gas mask jetpack - ROC hawk/resolute duke |

Dude I love that you are sculpting your own masks and gear.
You are already experimenting and getting solid results. I am loving it. Now lets work a little on presentation, don't forget that solid background, it makes a huge difference. If your camera has a macro function (it looks like a flower and it is the setting for taking pictures of close objects, most cameras have it) use it for clearer pictures, just remember to keep the camera steady and hold your breath. I made two edits with your custom, one to show how a solid background would enhance the picture, the other was just for fun. Keep rocking brother, can't wait to see more |

I made two edits with your custom, one to show how a solid background would enhance the picture, the other was just for fun. Keep rocking brother, can't wait to see more For all my photos, I use just a piece of 11x17 paper taped to an upright (like a lamp or box) and allow a "gentle" slope so there's no noticeable edge between the vertical and horizontal. It keeps from creating a distracting background that pulls emphasis away from your work. Also, using a tripod will help with focus and eliminate camera shake. I use my iPhone because it's handy and just make sure that I steady it on something else (cup turned upside down or whatever). Finally, go for good lighting as this makes a HUGE difference to represent the colors you worked so hard to pick out and/or mix. Daylight is the good as long as it isn't direct sun. Indirect or diffused lighting (like a cloudy day or taking shots next to a window) works really well. Otherwise, get a bulb that is around 5,500-6,000K color temperature which emulates the daylight color spectrum on objects. I used to work for an electronics component distributor that had a catalog of over 5,000 parts and I was the designer that not only placed the product shots in the catalog but also took all of the photos. We didn't have an expensive set up but tricks like a nondescript background, decent lighting and a steady camera made my job way easier. |

Sweet, if you use a different hair color you could easily make a Mayday custom out of her.
