Cool figure fiona! Any chance we can have another photo please to see your awesome brush work.

Looks like the auto focus was the problem? The backdrop is certainly nice and sharp.
Perhaps the figure was too close to the camera to focus on? Moving back a little further (15cm?) might help, you can always crop the image before posting on the net.

Cheers
Matt

Thanks - I'll probably make a new thread for the extra pictures.  :)

The camera's closeness is a distinct possibility, but from a further distance I can't get it to focus on anything other than the crotch or shoulders of whatever mini I try to take a pic of, so it blurs every part except those.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Great new entries.
 8) 8)

All these Hellboy figures that you are posting, Alex, they keep reminding me that there are a few gaps in my collection.
I reckon that I should be able to squeeze something else in before this club finishes......we shall see.

That is a stunning picture. Is it taken outside, in the backyard?

Thanks for the comments chaps, the photo was achieved by pure dumb luck. It was taken indoors with natural light behind it with my cheapo painting light off to the right.

That's a fantastic effect you've got there, the model looks fantastic as well, excellent conversion work.

Thanks for sharing
