So the latest website obsession has been this CoolMiniOrNot.com site for me. It motivates me to paint some more, give some finishing touches to what I already have painted and photograph them for submission to the site. I honestly think my BEST paint job so far might get me a rating of 5 on the site. My worst, hopefully in the 3's. They seem pretty tough.
I asked for one of those clamp lights with a magnifier for my birthday to help me attempt at being a half decent painter. I still hate painting the faces. I'm just lousy at it. But once I get a few that are submission ready. I'll include the photo here when I submit.
I've also noticed with the unboxing post earlier that I'm going to need to do something about the light in the den or go outside to photograph. With digital cameras, the darn things saturate the mini with too much light on automatic settings and seem to have trouble focusing in macro mode. I did a little googling and got some ideas. The weirdest one I'll have to try is putting a tiny bit of dish soap in the paint to evenly thing it out without making it a wash effect.
We'll see what happens.
