Well, despite several New-Year related setbacks, I've been busy again.
I've painted up one of her lances to look like a piece of marble. This is just a quick post to show the progress I've made in that regard. I'm also trying out some different photography techniques and set-up, which is coming out rather nicely actually. I still have no idea what to do with lights etc, but generally moving them about and taking a ton of pictures tends to yield a few good shots.
I still need to paint the shaft of the lance and the green stuff on her head where I repaired the hair gap as well as patch up a few bits here and there, but the end is in sight!
Looks great man, the new lighting set up is giving excellent results!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're only seeing the good pictures and I binned about 10 absolute duffers, but there could be something to all of this "use a light box and actually put in some effort business". I also read an article about photographing anime figures that was so informative that I skimmed most of it, but it did seem to get me thinking in the right direction.
Deletehttp://www.tentaclearmada.com/2013/08/figure-photography-lighting-guide-part-1-getting-started-with-creative-lighting/ is the link and there are several parts. Watch the site though as some is NSFW (he reviews all kinds of figures and stuff that's a bit out there and sometimes involves some nudity - generally not that bad, but not really cool at work).
I'm lagging a bit behind. Just saw this. Thought it was a studio photo of some CG render. It's so flawlessly perfect. What a way to start out the new year. I'm going to need straps to close my jaw.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. I think we're all lagging a bit behind since the Faeit 212 blog roll went down!
DeleteThey actually run a competition for these anime figures that you can enter with photos, so I'm working on the photography with that it mind. It's a bit of a leap though as some people (especially in Japan) only paint these things as a whole hobby, so I'm not sure if I'll stand a chance, but it's all good fun.
Great work Blazmo! It's really coming together nicely and putting the rest of us to shame!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I always aim to shame!
DeleteI tried to make this on roblox, but some parts i couldnt make because of roblox physics ._.
