I know I did a vampire miniature last week, but wanted to do the other one I had for this week. I think it turned out better than the last one did anyway. This miniature was a real challenge for me. There is a lot of detail on the figure that I wanted to capture and really express with different colors, one was the imp. I had completely finished the vampire but hadn't painted that little devil gripping his leg. I thought that a fire imp theme would look really cool and cause him to pop out in the figure. It almost makes you wonder why they are together when clearly the two are so different. This figure is again done by Reaper Miniatures and I will include the link for him below. There are two sculpts for this guy, and honestly if I had seen the other figure first I would have bought it instead. Something I liked about this pant job besides the imp was his robe. It came out really nicely and contrasts well with the red shirt. I think I could have done better work on the writing of the book. I touched up a place where t he black lines were pretty thick, but I could have spent more time in the area doing some really cool detail.
One last thing. I am using a Cannon Rebel t3 12mp camera to take my photos, but I was wondering if anyone had some tips for helping me improve my photos. I know lighting is a big issue for me because I am taking my photos in the basement where I paint, but I was wondering if someone out there has seen tutorials for photographing miniatures that have worked for them? Again thanks for checking out my blog, and post your comments below.
