just noticed after I posted, that this seam doesn't look right, so I fixed it up before I forget

Looks really good - did you adjust the photos in a paint program?  They really do pop out at the viewer.

all i did is just cropped them to get rid of the excess background

added some flesh tones

hello, small update today.

got the jacket painted,   some small details around on it need work but the basic highlights and shades are on.

Amazing work there.  Wish I could do half as good.  My figures always come out looking like department store dummies.

figs done  other than a few touch ups here and there.  I'll make a small base with those tripod binocular thingies.

finished up with a little base.

thanks for looking!

Great job on the face and uniform! And the simple base works really well.

The figure and base look great! Nice work.

Very nice, I like it. 

Something still seems different compared to most digital photos.  Maybe it is flash use or the quality of the camera (smart phone?) that gives it a high contrast look which in turn causes the colours to "pop".  If not then very cool painting technique.

regards,

Jack

Outstanding work!  

Just wondering did you delete the photos from your PhotoBucket account because they are not showing up in this thread?
