Ray and Cecile
« on: July 07, 2005, 10:05:12 PM »
Well, I've been painting Ray, and Cecile, since Sunday...they're finally finished

 Thanks to voltan for tweaking the pics and hosting them

 One is a bit blurry and I worked on the base myself...it's not great but it'll do

 Cecile is Ray's cricket bat, by the way...

You can't see it too well but Ray's hair is blended to a very light grey on the edges to make him greying...

 The pics aren't clear enough but I even gave him eyes!

Any finished mini's go in the Gallery of Doom bit, and who ever made it thats the part you put it in.
In this case it's Kev's so it go's in the Hasslefree part. :wink:
Don't worry someone will move it for you. :D

Nice job there, you can tell you put a lot of work into it.
Getting good pic's can be a pain in the ass at times.

You can host them at : http://photobucket.com  It's free to use.
I use windows paint to Shrink and cut them and Picasa2 to adjust the light and such, it's free also.

I like it, the tie is well done, it adds a nice touch of brightness to the overall scheme.

Thanks all

 I'll try and get some closer pics of him, but I need to rework one eye as I was looking at it last night and it doesn't seem right...

 Yeah yeah, I'm my own worst critic...

 I'm working on a Stryker at the moment, once it's done I'll post pics of that too...

Hey, even some weapons need names. Cecile just seemed apt.

Who knows, maybe that was the name of his PA when he worked in the office, this Cecile gets the job done much better though...

next time try taking pics against a plain background as it helps to define the outline of the figure and draw the viewers eyes.

the taking of the pics is just practise Andy, welcome to the gallery!

Ps, nice blue tie!!
A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather & ask for it back when it starts to rain. 

most mornings i wake up grumpy.   sometimes i just let him sleep.

my life consists of brief snatched moments of living my life hidden deep among chaos, confusion& the  going crazy, every night i go to sleep filled with hope & enthusiasm for the new day coming.  then i wake up & think "here I go again" & just aim to survive.
