BeaverBeliever Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 ... and yet now I find myself on the bandwagon My crappy camera and photography skills aside, I hope these are enjoyable. I've always wanted to do Wood Elves as a dark, unknown, guerrilla force coming from the woods, and I think these test models have fit the bill; unfortunately, due to the already dark tones and poor camera setup, these look a bit bleh. I think they look pretty good IRL, though: Hey, look who's out of focus: Guess who doesn't have a tripod and has poor lighting? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaverBeliever Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks, guys! I've really been enjoying putting some variety onto the bases. Really brings them to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGerbil Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm planning on doing muted dark greens and browns for my Wood Elves too, that is if I ever get around to them. This is a useful point of reference.Don't be afraid to tinker with the lighting levels in a photo editor, even windows picture viewer can edit pictures now.

BeaverBeliever Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I sure am a slow painter. Here are two more Waywatchers:I tried for some better lighting, which seemed to work on this first guy: But this guy's photos didn't turn out so hot, imo (bad camera + bad photo editing/balancing skills + still mediocre lighting): The metal on both of them needs to be retouched, but overall I'm pretty happy. Anyway, hope you like them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Bungalow Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I find that a tripod doesn't make that huge of a difference unless your camera is pretty fancy to begin with. The real difference, for me is: 1. Macro setting or if your camera doesn't have that the little flower symbol. 2. Two daylight bulbs 3.

BeaverBeliever Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yeah lighting and white balance are definitely my two main issues right now. Hopefully I'll have something worked out next time I snap some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
