Thanks guys.
Ahh Photoshop?
Heh heh just kidding of course.
Honestly, I paint using mostly Vallejo and GW paints over a white primer. I don't do anything really ground breaking and prefer to keep things simple (Base coat, shade, and highlight up). That along with a huge amount of lighting when I take pictures, makes the minis fairly loud and bright. When they are on the table (buried in terrain) they still stand out fairly well at the usual 2'-3' viewing distance.
Not everyone's cup of tea...but I like them.
