Re: Solmars WIPs
Hmm okay i will try to work this out more. But is also really a problem of the pics, thex negate the contrast in the reds. 
But i will enhance the shadows and highlights more.

Re: Solmars WIPs

have you used the black-and-white photo test? it seems you haven't... just look at the wings.
Re: Solmars WIPs
Good trick
Thank you for that.
I reworked the contrast on the wings. I often have not the courage to do more contrasts. But i should in future.
I also took pictures in front of a White background, which made taking pictures of the red easier.

Re: Solmars WIPs
Hey there!
I have begun to work on a Nurgle Dread and try to redo Bohun´s Miniature Mentor Tutorial in order to improve my overall skills and techniques.
This is the first try, chassis is finished. Ignore the base, as it is 10% done. XD
Tell me, what you think. I believe, i have improved a bit in making stronger contrasts?!

Re: Solmars WIPs
o hello ther 
as i soo Bohuns works in RW - this rust color is very similar to one of the stages that Bohun gets thru - so you are on good way
"nurgl parts" - looks smouth but contrast is far from what bohun gets to it is to light by now - change this photo to grey scale end you will instantly c difrence .. end actualy you wil know wher to work more
if your goal with this mini would not to imitate Bohun style i would just sey - add shadows
but as it is "Bohun style" - incrase contrast beyond

Re: Solmars WIPs
Thank you for your advice! I worked again on the shadows in order to enhance contrast:
