From the Reaper line.

I painted her to make it look like she has been on the trail for a while.  I will be EBaying her later this week.



Long term exposure to the Orb of Confusion will give you...er.. confusion!

Looks nice from what I can see. Remember to post the auctions in the classified section.

If you can, take pics with some more light to show off the paint job better  :thumbup:

face looks very good but thats all the detail that can be seen.  If selling on Ebay you definately need to improve the lighting to get a good price.  Looking good though mate :-)

Thanks and I agree with you.  I will need to adjust the camera apature next pic.  You wouldn't have guessed that there are 2 100 watt bulbs on either side of the camera when I took it.

I have the opposite problem, the flash on my camera is so bright it shows up all the different colours of paint and makes them look unblended.  To the naked eye they look ok .....honest  :-)

Probably get best results in daylight with no flash but I dont photo much so not worried about great results

Daylight bulbs and a lightbox\lighttent helps with those problems must get that bigger lightbox done and take pictures while making it.

Have you tyred auto colour and auto contrast on the picture using an editing program.

This is the result of auto colour and auto contrast on the picture, you can use Photoshop, Gimp (Gimp is free) or what ever you find best for you, i use Picasa2 as it's easy for me to use.
Picasa2 is not a great one to use but it's simple to use.


If you crop\trim the picture, you save yourself save on the place you host them on.

Klute is the best one to give advice on photo editing and Gi6ers is a very close second with Cheddar beside him.

Just because nobody else's said so yet (and it's true) that's a very nice model. She's been on my wishlist for ages (sfor at least a few months before she got released) and now I'm finaly going to get to order her along with some other fun stuff to start painting (and was going to start looking at people's posts about Object Source Lighting).

I'm not too keen on the dodgey grey flames 'though, they're quite ominous looking.

Should normal flames be lighter at the sword and darker at the tips?

its magical green flames so thats doesn't matter here.

The magic power would be greater at the source so they would be brighter at the sword but thats not important as it's a great painted figure and a good looking sculpt too.  :thumbsup:
