Memento Mori Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) To start and build up for the tale of a malifaux painter i'm getting my hand in with a bit of painting, however my photographing skills are poor to say the least! Judge undercoat JudgeUnder by memento mori84, on Flickr Judge base coat and wash JudgeBase1 by memento mori84, on Flickr Judge WIP 1 & 2, base is custom, my guild cobble bases are my first attempt at using greenstuff, however i feel that they get the job done!

Memento Mori Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 With the other halfs Samsung pl100 im fiddling with the settings so might hit it right at some point, no lightbox or daylight bulbs but me with a sheet of paper behind the judge,outside in the garden! Currently running on 5MP, superfine setting, ISO auto, Daylight Autobalance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAGabriel Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Outside i get such effects when i put the mini in the sun or it is too bright. I got best results in the early evening in the shadow. You will have to get a mini tripod, if possible, got mine for 9,99€. One of these days i will try it outside with my "photobox" a la jar. It is 1,99€, so the costs of a nice photosetup aren`t really high, cause the daylight lamp for me developed to a must have for painting sessions in the evening. But i´m still experimenting with photograpy myself. In my camera is a auto-setting "macro" which i found gives me the best results, but i fear you will have to experiment with the settings. The pics themselves are edited with GIMP, but only to correct them if they are to bright or dark and to get them to the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Good job, I like the bases. Did you make them or are they bought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Mori Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 @ DAGabriel I like the look of the ikea light bin! Never been a big night time painter due to working nights and prefer to paint mid afternoon or mornings as a relaxer! Using photoshop to crop and resize, may attempt to use more features but feel it's a little like cheating. @deadpool. Custom this is my first attempt at sculpting or using greenstuff.

DAGabriel Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Cheating? Would be cheating to paint with it, but correcting the lighting? Don`t think so. I often use the program to light up unwanted shadows, f.e. under hats, to make them better visible. I think as long as you use it to show your mini in the best light it is ok, you shouldn`t correct mistakes on the pic but on the mini. But one of the best side effects of taking wips is that they will show you mistakes more clearly than your own eyes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Mori Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Maybe that was a bit strong, maybe I see the lighting and post photo as the boring bit, I'll attempt to get as good as possible rather than spend another 30mins to edit on photoshop. I always think the quick fix always appear to harsh, that and I mostly use a iPad for posting etc. No offence to the people who spend the time, however I'll try improving my photography skills before playing with photoshop more than cropping and resizing.

Demonn Agram Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I really like your metal on Skaven. How'd you do it, if you don't mind sharing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Mori Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Cheers all paints are GW The weapon team was base coat black, tin blitz, dwarf bronze, sepia wash, more dwarf bronze highlights poss even a little chainmail added for final high lights. The verdigris is 50/50 hawk turquoise and dark angel green watered down with water to make a wash. Slap it all over the bronze and use a brush to take off the excess so it pools where you want it. The technique is based on the GW guide to painting the screaming bell on their website. The rat ogre was just boltgun metal and a heavy delvan mud wash.
