So last week I had someone here with an okay camera and we tried to make some photos.
First of all, for the metallics on the models it still doesn’t do much, they all look the same:
I already increased the saturation a bit during postproduction, and I still couldn’t tell from the photo which is tainted brown and which purple. And I very much can in reality. I guess, during this army blog you’ll have to imagine most of the missing parts. ^^"
Anyway, the main reason was to make a photo of my oil painting for the Artisan’s Contest XXXV.
It also uses metallics, but not catching them on the photo has less impact as with miniatures.
First a few early photos I did during the process.
A rather early one with only the background:
A day later, I mostly redid the columns and changed the cobbles.
Without the details it looked like this:
And the result that entered the contest (in a form…) like this:
(The upper one is more true to the colours, the lower one to the details.)
The title is: tensions
If I had to still change something now, I’d make the face of the person in the front a bit lighter.
The rest of the painting is true to my lacking experience.
