BunnyPuncher Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It's been a few months since I've posted in the showoff forums but I'll make up for it here tonight.. I had my dad take the photos, now that he's retired he plays photographer at weddings and such and I wanted to see how he photo'd minis. He took some artistic license as you can see. I'm going to build him one of those diffuse light boxes with the normal fade back drop, but he sure had a fun time crawling through the grass as he took my miniatures onto the field, literally. Here is an Ettin from the old WOTC Chainmail series, from many positions! Customary Reaper Board Booty Shot! Standard Gib Dub Space Ork Warboss... The Artistic Shots! Are you afraid of the dark? You'd better be as monsters are afoot! Cryx Bonejack I gonna eat you!! I'll get some better pictures up eventually, but I thought I'd share my dad's adventures with minis sunday with you all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital [email protected] Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Very nice work, I especially like the robot thingy, that is really excellent metallic work. The Gobo is a might scary, you did a great job capturing the character in the face fo the sculpt. The ogre looks good as well, but the greys and the metallics all blend together and confused my eye. It could have been the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krztoff Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Love that ettin. The night shots of him look like stills from a bad horror film The metals on the robot look great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyPuncher Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks guys... The Cryx Bonejack (the robot thingy) is about 15 layers of washes of black & brown ink applied by instinct (not over the entire carapace but areas) over boltgun metal to chainmail highlights. I'm pretty pleased how he turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Fantastic work with the photos BP ... hats off to your Dad. Those are great! Oh yeah ... like the painting too (*lol*).

Hexxenhammer Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The ettin is BIG. As tall as, say, the Reaper fire giant, but skinnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh.. thanks.. i'll pass on the word to the old man... its a bit of a drive to get them up to him but if I can get him trained properly it saves me from having to learn how to do it. The Ettin is just under 2 1/2" (6.5cm) tall from bottom of foot (not base) to top of head (the left head from our perspective) and from foot to raised fist he is just under 3" (7.0cm). Pity they are oop because it was a really fun model to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
