ironloki Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 You'll need to resize the pic or turn it into a link as its currently far too big. Also its hard to make out anything apart from the pose in that pic sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Q- Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 The pic is only 584 pixels wide. I thought the rule was 700 pixels or under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHawk Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I've seen many people try to convert scythes for marines and many turn out badly either with a handle thats too small or with an awful blade,........but yours has to be the best one I've seen. The blade is just right, its the right length and the blade looks really cool. Looking forward to seeing it finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Aerethos Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I agree completely. The pic is HORRENDOUS. Nevertheless, the model looks very solid, just needs to be finished. Get er' done, and then get some better pics!! Master_Aerethos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 The pic is only 584 pixels wide. I thought the rule was 700 pixels or under? Says 801x601px to me and it was originally throwing off the board :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Creepy. Says 584 x 438 for me. Wonder how that's possible :blink: Well, sorry for the confusion just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c02 Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 ok iv been messing with the background and lighting.. seems to be a better pic but its still crappy http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h181/c02...he/IMAG0009.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 macro, tripod, no flash.. might help. Read up on the taking photos posts maybe. A new camera isn't going to help if you don't know the basics. Make sure you're getting the most from your current camera before you spend money on another. Looks like a good pose so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHawk Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 -Q- is spot on with that advice, I found out the hard way about lighting and flash settings and tripods. The grey plastic is rather shiny so it can mess up an otherwise good pic. A tripod is great as it gets rid of the minute pulse and breathing shakyness that you get in the pic. It doesnt have to be expensive, even a cheap one will do the job. Also try setting up the camera on the tripod, and then leaving the camera on a 10/15 second time delay, so that you take the pic without needing to press the button because your finger would shake the camera as you press the button and thus add blurriness. Also if your a beginner try to take pics in daylight and against a solid background like a sheet of paper or something and take lots of pics try out the different settings for the best result. Try that and have a browse around the B+C articles (here further down the page: http://bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=65621) before getting a new camera, as you may find that the camera you have is more than adequate but just hasnt been used to its fullest before.

c02 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 ok added an arm and backpack and took some advice on the pictures heres a pic better than the others http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h181/c02...he/IMAG0010.jpg i also changed the legs its still early WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Est Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 the way the pistol's positioned isn't so crash hot. maybe change it or perhapse have him looking towards the blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c02 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h181/c02...he/IMAG0016.jpg does this seem like a better position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I would leave the pistol down, and turn his head to the [Rock Hard]Scythe. Also, the head looks a bit 'tall'. Trimming his neck down may help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Pistol down is better but give it a slight twist from where it's at in the original pic. Think of the flow of each element compared to the overall figure and the nearby parts. To the side of the knee parallel to the leg is going to look better than perpendicular in front. Congrats on the pictures though, amazing difference! I went through the same trouble when I first got a digital camera and thought it was junk. Good job!
