Chest of Colors forum

Hey guys
finished this yesterday I spent a bit more time on this hope it shows I'm going to stick it on ebay and see how it goes I'm pretty happy with it but the pictures seem a bit washed out I have to get some sort off light source to take pics of minis I think because at the moment my pics are really dark and when I edit them they dont show the mini as it is, any ideas on lighting would be appreciated
thank as always jason

I would have pushed the highlights on the red a little further, but I like red that are really popping.
Other than that, I like it, think it'll go nicely on evilbay

Cool looking

Like Hellspawn said, i think the red needs more depth, shade or highlights. Same goes for the face which needs a bit more shading i'd say.
I would also change the colour of the backpack pipes, keeping them black doesn't work in my opinion.
Other than that, your extra work compared to your previous minis shows, good job!

thanks everyone I managed to borrow a couple of lamps and took some new pics these are much closer to what it looks like in the hand

Then this is definitely a lot better heheheh

Looks a lot better on those last pics and the +effort is definately showing. Armor is way better than on your last pieces as well as the rest. One thing that you could still do to improve the overall look without investing too much time are the metallics. On the pictures is seems like it's only one color - try to add deeper shadows either with a darker metallic paint or just use black (glazes!) to darken the shadows. The black should also add a kind of mattness to the shadows compared to the metallic paint which often makes a nice contrasty look.
