Under Cover of Darkness...

[Obi-Shinobi]

... Cobra forces move through the city, unaware of who watches their every move.

"Timing. Timing is everything, Bruce"...

..."along with steady aim."

"Turrets down... now for the foot soldiers."

"Need to land just right"...

It's the goddamn Batman! Nice.

 

[K-Tiger]

It's the goddamn Batman! Nice.

We know the Tumbler is twice the tank the H.I.S.S. is. Shit's about to get real.

 

[Videoviper]

This needs more pics.....

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

This needs more pics.....

I'll be shooting more soon.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Batman is no match for Cobra

 

[The Willoughbian]

Nice shootin'!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

This needs more pics.....

This is exactly what I was thinking...real nice posing on Batman there Obi

Batman is no match for Cobra

Lol...ARAH for life!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

The story continues in the first post.

 

[daremo]

I absolutely love this shot. This looks just like a freaking comicbook panel.

I demand more

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Gawd dang those are awesome shots!...fantastic set up!...

Weathering on the building is looking killer too

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Thanks guys. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I need for better dio pics, since it's a completely different animal compared to light-box shots. So this "story" is really just me messing around with different lights and camera angles, etc. Thought I'd at least make something fun to shoot while doing so.

Anyway, the story will continue shortly!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

The part I struggle with most doing dios is the background...keeping reality out is a PITA

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Same here. I covered the wall behind my table with black facric, but it's not enough to do any wide shots or certin angles up close. It's like you need to have the entire room coverd with whatever you're using!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Exactly!...you either need to create a whole freaking city or get a monster backdrop...Rick has really mastered taking "outdoor" shots indoors...I think all of his are taken in his basement...

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Bingo! - make a whole city . Well... at least as much as you can. Even with multiple buildings though, you'd still need to have an encompassing backdrop. You just can't get around it.

I plan on doing both. More actual buildings would be better, imo.

 

[K-Tiger]

Fled hasn't got a whole city, but he's clever with angles and back drops. That's what ya have to be unless you've got the room.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

True, which is what I'm forced to do right now. My biggest problem is getting the right lighting for what I want. That... and an extra set of hands would be nice.

Once I get a few projects finished, or near finished, I'll be making more full-sized buildings. Then it will get interesting, to say the least. I'll need a bigger table for one thing. 4x8, here I come!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

... That... and an extra set of hands would be nice...

Uhh, that would be nice...too bad girls don't think doing dio stuff is super fun...I'd love for my wife to get into it

 

[darthdre758]

I can get my wife to help on a few things here and there. Sometimes fine painting, and other times sewing.

 

[xxxx]

that's pretty cool.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Added 3 more shots. Getting any consistency with the lighting, shot to shot, is difficult though. Depending on the angle and distance, either I'm half blocking my ambient light, or Batman's cape is blocking it.

Oh well... still a learning curve I suppose.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Beautiful!...I'm not sure which I like better, the first where he's just jumped or the last where's he's just landed...

One thing I think would've been cool is if you had made Bats land on a trooper or two with boots to the face/head

 

[daremo]

Yes! Keep it going!

 

[SE 55]

This is awesome. Looks like a live action comic book. Keep em coming. Badass Batman custom btw

 

[snakeling]

I'm not real big on crossovers but this is quite cool.

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Too many pics in the 1st post, so it continues here.

"They're trained ..."

"...but not for me."

"They're reacting..."

"...but not fast enough."

"Don't forget the driver, Bruce. He almost had you while you finished toying with those last two."

"Caught him off balance, and not expecting it"...

..."lucky, Bruce. Lucky."

 

[SE 55]

Love this!! Keep it going! By the way, what's the recipe for the Batman?

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Batman Recipe:

Young Justice Batman head
MU Rogers torso, upper arms, upper legs
MU Magneto lower arms, lower legs
SHS Punisher ankle joints and feet (rocker action!)
RoC "The Doctor" hands/gloves
Captain Britain or Guardian for the belt and pouches

And of course, my super poseable cape!

That is truly inspired! Greatest Batman I have seen!

*snicker* Bruce never watched Sunbow

Seriously though, awesome posing!...love the lead ins to the hits...

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

Thanks guys. More on the way...

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

2nd set updated.

 

[Fled74]

Awesome action posing!

 

[Obi-Shinobi]

The end....

... or is it?

 

[Slaymaker]

All great shots and a sweet Batman figure. I have always been a fan of Batman.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

You lost at Preditor

Even cooler posing on the new set...my fave two are the ones of him punching out the viper...the cape posing on them all is outstanding!

 

[Monkeywrench]

Great story Obi!

 

[daremo]

All sorts of great shots here! The posing of the cape is very well done and really conveys a sense of movement/action in the photos. I can't wait to see what you can do now that you have a better grip on the basics.

 

[Meddatron]

absolutely great brother
