bladesparkWell, I found out how to work the up close function on the camera. It sucks. It sucks like a vacuum cleaner. I'm hoping that JJ's camera has a better close in. *crosses fingers* Else I may just have to go buy one myself on that basis. Anyhow, relaxed a bit after the day's stresses by fixing the fire on my fire mage, and then took some photos.

http://bladespark.topcities.com/minis/firemage2.jpg After. Five layers of graduated color in washes from white through yellow, several oranges, and red, with yellow drybrushing and red-black eyes. I could wish the photo didn't suck, but the paint job doesn't in any case! Heee. It's hard to believe this guy is just an inch tall. And I'm still in awe of people who can do actual facial features. I'm lucky if I can get eyes on something, though I did attempt eyebrows on the green elf gal. It... kinda worked out. I need more practice, and one size smaller brush. And a magnifying glass or loupe or something.
And the collection, now photographed without flash, and in up close mode, so they're slightly better than before.
