The Major will be chuffed when he sees these beauties!

I agree, the Major will be proud. :)

They seem so 'alive', as if they are about to step out of the screen.

Experimenting with "light" in the photos. Is this "better", "worse" or "no difference?"

Variety, my friend. I just like painting figures. :D Next photos will "probably" be Gangsters. Working on WWII Brits, Gothic Horror at the priming stage, GW Empire being painted...

Post by: Gluteus Maximus on 14 February 2010, 04:50:57 PM: The "new" one appears to have slightly more "contrast", so I'd say it's marginally better.

Post by: Silent Invader on 14 February 2010, 05:06:37 PM: I think I prefer the original but on a different monitor maybe I'd have a different answer.

Post by: Christian on 16 February 2010, 11:23:29 AM: I like the original better! It might be my monitor, but it washes out some of the shading on the face and other makes other details a bit harsh.

A lovely job, mind you.
