Like the martians, agree that the feet look like they could use....something, but overall they look great.

Bases look good too. Might suggest trying to photograph them again white and black backgrounds, see if it changes the way they look.

Very nice! The lighting really sets the scene.

Thank you very much.

I parked my light at the same direction as the painted highlights and moved the backdrop and camera around the model. I was going for a moonlit scene and even in full daylight you get that feel from the piece. I just wish you guys could see it in person....


P.s. These images are also raw and untouched (other than to stitch them together). I managed to get the lighting and white balance just right for these images. I think this project as a whole shows just how much I've learned in the last year painting my Tau army, in both brush skills and Photography.
