Ok here's a sculpt I recently completed of Jamie Thomas. It's in plastic now. The Base and the skateboard are still very rough. The resin needs to be cleaned up a bit and painted. And my 4 megapixel point&shoot needs to be tossed out. Ok that's enough excuses for now. FRONT SIDE SMITH GRIND BITCHES!!!

Thanks for the kind words. There's always room for improvement. I seriously do need a better camera. I hate the way that the crappy ones distort the image so much. Like you look at the photo and the hand is 2X bigger than the head. People will think I skipped all the proportion lessons in school! ROFL!!!
I do all my best thinking in the bath.

Great work - really really crisp.
Unfortunately the distortion is mostly perspective coming into effect because you're too close, so a better camera won't necessarily help that much. The trick I use is to zoom in as much as possible and move backwards until I get the shot I need. This flattens the perspective and sorts out most cases of big-hand syndrome

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I've got is my camera is so crappy that if I back up and then zoom in, I lose detail. I'd really love to get a 10 megapixel dslr with a nice lens. Then I could take some decent pics. So who is gonna loan me 1000$???Originally Posted by DuneFishUK

IF the figure was standing up straight he'd measure 12" from his heel to the the top of his head. Yes it's getting painted.

That might be a light issue - your camera needs light to focus. Get outside
