Hmm. I just finished my first novel. It's strange, but all it really took was turning off the TV for a few evenings. Not even the entire evenings, either. Now I realize I have no excuse for not having done this already.
Congratulations!

Well here are some pics of the latest minis from my Clan Wolf Golden Keshik project.  Once again my impressive skill of messing up photos is apparent.  These minis look so dang good in person and yet as soon as I take a picture of them they look like complete and utter CRAP.  Pah!  I knew I should have made Ray give me a photo taking tutorial before I drove him back to the airport after DragonCon.  >:(

First up is the Gargoyle C.

Next up is the Ebon Jaguar.  After seeing the so called new and "improved" resculpt I have to say I will be sticking with this version of the mini for the future.

And lastly a group shot.  This is due to the fact that I deemed NONE of the pics I took of the Dire Wolf alone to be acceptable.  Truthfully none of this pics are acceptable to me.  >:(

OK I messed around with a couple of the other pictures that I dismissed after a glance.  After going back over them they seem to look better to me.  Thoughts?

But do you have a race?

Also, WolfLancer, tried lighting the area separately?

I'm not meaning get Klieg lights, or expensive equipment.  Maybe getting an extra house lamp or two would make your pictures a bit better.

I got gas for $2.89 yesterday.  I didn't really need it, I had 3/4 of a tank, but that's the first time in years I've seen it under $3/gallon.

After seeing those crappy pics and you come to that conclusion then you would think they are absolutely gorgeous in person.  I really am terrible at taking pics...

Thats the thing Im using the recommened amount of lights.  One overhead light and two lights off to the side.  Im currently exchanging PMs with Foxbat, who offered some advice, so hopefully I can nail down my problem.

Good work. I think that more contrast is needed, add several light grey dots in the corners of the panels and the mini may improve a lot easyly. I hope this comment helps you!
