to be honest - no, I don't. it might be a pic issue though, I can only see background and bent wires.
as for the wires - she must be a friend of Ana's harlequin, don't you think Mahon?

the wires dominate this model and they're not the best part, so the overall effect suffers from this domination...
also I am not sure how much of the shadows is painted and what is only cast by strong lamp you used for taking photos. and if the shadows are all painted - that's some powerful contrast you got there. unfortunately I don't think it's a very good model. I've seen better ones from you. good OSL, which would benefit from a photo on black background.
I also see that the clothes are all "dotted" with some kind of fine dots - like airbrush or spray... or zenithal priming not covered well enough
yeah, she must be a friend or relative of the disco harlequin. the one with disco-sparkles coming out of the staff's ears

or at least that's how I remember it...

thanks guys

I'll try to take pics using decent black b:" not sure if paper sheet painted black and sprayeD matt varnish won't be reflecTing the light
as for the lightning bolts - guitar string wire was the thinest wire I could find here: it's about 1/2 of paper clip thickness

I did it on pic sent to NQ but didn't like fabric being visible

you need to keep it behind the field of depth, where the picture is out of focus / blurred. when the background is blurred you won't see the texture.

yeah but the fabric was visible close to camera where it was getting focus...
looks like I have to move model back in the tent

whats up with overpresentation of miniatures these days...I'd say either the mini "has got it" or it don't. no backround fixes that... but thats slightly off topic
she says: i ripped out this tree and i found this skull, i hereby present them both to you ;D
