tiny sam Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think that you should have post earlier! it's realy a great piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lav25gunner Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nice paint job, but your photography could use some work. Next time don't use a flash, and try to have a clear, clutter free background. Take pic of the model with a solid colored background, experiment with different colors. Can't wait to see more of your stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 It always makes me laugh when people post a pic of a pretty well painted mini and then say "oh, I've only been doing this for a month or so". Then I look at my miniatures and cry. Did I say laugh earlier? I meant cry. That's a really good mini. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reckoning Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Its sad when I can tell from a bad picture that someone's first model is better than all of mine combined. Good paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farassyl Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thank you for kind words every one. Especially the photo tips Ill try and get more shots of my "green" men tonight. I have real problems with the light living in a rather gloomy part of the Uk Its not my first my model reckoning I have painted about 20 others and a laidraider that I ruined with too much battle damage but hey you live and learn. I have gained so much from visiting this site so just want to say a big thanks to every one for all the tutorials and images. (and it helps the day go by at work).

I have gained so much from visiting this site so just want to say a big thanks to every one for all the tutorials and images. (and it helps the day go by at work). A tripod is a great help for taking pictures in the UK, you can then use natural light from a window instead of nasty colour changing harsh contrast on camera flash ;) Logan looks good as far as I can tell from the pic but I'm not sure about the flesh tone, it looks off, but it may be a white balance issue with the photo?

farassyl Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi Guys Seen some awesome stuff on here latley keeping me inspired Im back and im afraid to say my photography isnt any better nether the less I present my first rhino just got to add decals and name her any ideas ? it will ferry blood claws around if I ever finish painting them Not sure if I have gone over the top with the battle damage any thoughts? C and C very much welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightpaw Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Great piece for a Space Wolf. Very fine Rhino. But as said before, try to take your pictures on a neutral background. e.g. a large sheet of white Paper. Will make it much easier to recognize your good work.

culix Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hey farassyl, welcome! Very nice paint jobs :( Keep up the great work! One tip for photography is to get all of the light that you can - the more the better. I shine two different lamps on my minis and also use the room light and any natural sunlight. You can also color-balance your photos in an image editing program to make sure the colors look like they're supposed to. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamelli Streamfisher Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Nice work on the weathering! I'm a sucker for that style of painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyberius Daemonbane Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 That Rhino makes me want to huddle up in the furthest corner of a room with all my models and repaint them with my tears... Seriously, good painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Only problem with the models is the first; looks jaundiced because of the bad lighting. I, however, am not jealous of your painting skills because I know I have none :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
