It has started. Taking photos always leads to wanting better backgrounds. You'll be a dio maker before long.
I like the background ninjas in the first pic. very cool.
You hit the mark! I just got my hands on the camera about a week ago, just a lot a fun trying different things. If my skills permit it, I will do a dio (saw awesome tutorial for building front) but want to finish some figures first a see how it goes. Got a couple of bodies done, but painting is still an issue for now. Addictive hobby, I gota be careful
Very addictive hobby. Might I suggest focusing on washes and drybrushing first with painting. Neither requires a steady hand, just a good eye for color. Wash first, drybrush second. They really make a figure pop.
Looking into the washes online, saw a few ready in the bottle and some tips to make from scratch. Any brand recommendation? just working with acrylic paint from michaels for now. Thanks
I like model masters acryl but can't stand how quickly they go bad. The Citadel paints are amazing.
Have seem the brand Citadel in a few tutorials, gonna look for that one.
By the way, bought some of your 3D stuff, led me to this site! and looking forward to try them out. Great stuff.

I make my own washes. The Michael's acrylic (Applebarrell maybe?) will work. Just water it down. Might want to practice on a crap figure till you get the thickness good. I always try to err on too watery instead of too much paint. Doing a second wash is easier than stripping paint.
I have read some people use Windex to water theirs down. I do not, just water. I think MMorelock did a quick tutorial on washes here. http://forums.fighting118th.com/showthread.php?t=4639 Do the wash before the drybrush though like Eddie says in the thread.
