Editing photos, do they make mini's better than real life, or is it a necessity?
by Spectral Dragon on 11-01-2012 at 11:53 PM
Before the advent of GIMP:
Triarch Praetoreon 1.jpg
After the usage of GIMP:
Triarch Praetoreon 1-1.jpg
I will be honest here: when viewing the picture at larger than mini size he looks better than the mini, when viewing at same mini size he looks very close in the second pic. My verdict is thus the usage of editing software is necessary!
Case closed.

SD's Mid Level: True Colored Metallic Shading/Highlighting

Anyone who happened to see my latest 3 or so WIP threads will know I have been working on this a lot!
Here is my latest foray into this: Trazyn the Infinite on custom built base WIP.
I think it's fair to say that the shading and the highlighting, especially on the torso, adds some much needed depth to the model. Trazyn is in a very crunched up crazy scientist pose.

The last pic of this guy was horrid, this one is definitely passable.
soulgrinderwip1 001.jpg
As you can see I am learning to improve my layered tones by doing large areas on a large and great model. This soul grinder is part of my Paint for Profit Challenge and is the first model out of a Demon collection that I plan to sell. I am hoping to gain retail value for him as I got him in a trade and consider the trade to be a great deal.
