Editing photos, do they make mini's better than real life, or is it a necessity?
by Spectral Dragon on 11-01-2012 at 10:53 PM
Before the advent of GIMP:
After the usage of GIMP:
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!

SD's Basics: creating good, yet cheap, washes, and making old, dried paint like new.
by Spectral Dragon on 25-12-2011 at 05:46 PM
My christmas day is spent at home, and while I have only my sister for family yet stilled filled with holiday cheer this leaves me with very little to do, so as I sit here waiting for a game to download on steam I decided I would share a little trick of mine that I recently discovered after a bit of research and trial and error.
Turns out, making your own washes is a snap, who knew? I have played with this a bit, experimenting and finding out what seems to work best.
SD's Mid Level: True Colored Metallic Shading/Highlighting
by Spectral Dragon on 03-12-2011 at 08:53 PM
Anyone who happened to see my latest 3 or so WIP threads will know I have been working on this a lot!

SD's basics WIP - Layering tones, Color Theory, Advanced: photography!
by Spectral Dragon on 26-11-2011 at 01:56 AM
The last pic of this guy was horrid, this one is definitely passable.
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.
