Let The Painting begin!
« on: May 03, 2007, 09:00:11 AM »
     Well, its official, I started painting my first model today.  I've done alittle painting before, touch ups mostly and some hurry up work for a game.  But, this is my first real attempt of taking the craft seriously.  I am generaly pleased with the work, although I find I'm awfully critical of my work.  I tend to be a perfectionist and that has held me back from painting before............but no more.  I've resigned myself to making mistakes and work on improving my craft.  So far I've found it to be fun.  Wish me luck.

BTW-- My first model is Troy-The-Just's flying dragonbane.

Talamania I

I like the emphasis on the 1 as this is the first of many. I think Im going to book a room for the same weekend next year so we can have it and everyone can plan for Talamania II

Good luck and remember-if you don't like it you can always do it again.

       Here it is!!  Overall I'm pleased with how it turned out.  I learned alot on what and what not to do.  I apologize for the less than stellar quality of the photo.

take the shot from greater distance.

then crop the pic.

if you have a 5 MPix cam you could crop away ~90 % ! (2560x1920 -> 800x600)

Hey thats excatly how I painted my shield on mine ;D. Also I would recommend that you use some sort of backdrop to help focus on the mini better.

I would take another photo but I've already given the mini to Troy-the-just.  Oh well.
