...a couple of dog faces...

Yeah I was thinking Ivory as well- pearl eh? Cool deal

Is that a scar on the left cheek of the other face?! Thats awesome. The hunched over guy kind of reminds me of frankenstein, you forgot the bolts on his neck though.

No joke on the dog faces... glad you're still working on a few things! Oh- and nice dog. Keep it away from the buyers and the wives at your next AMPS show

Always a pleasure to see your work Manny!  The dog is beyond awesome!!

Woof!!!

LOL ~ YUP ~ Very good idea. I shall consider it Eric.    I went back in time to Bump our 'groundwork' thread for a guy earlier, and took a look at what you we're talking about. So.... you're tellin us that there you we're with this killer Dio, with $150 worth of amazing painted Alpine Axis figures(not to mention all the rest of

 it!) and all they wanna talk about was the darned dog!? I feel your pain buddy. It's like the couple people I showed my little vignettes in the cubes to, and all  they say is..."Oh I love the little cube!'(The only part I didn't make!)That'll teach me to make those too.LOL(@ $5, aint gunna happen)  Hey Man....................Peace! Or War(Whatever you're into)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Indy

"Lili of the Lampost", I believe...  That set was used in an Osprey diorama book.  It featured an Infantry squad coming back from a fight with all these dirty, tired, bloody grunts looking at the lady and her "prospect" with varying degrees of disgust and interest... The male figure was impecably dressed, obviously a REMF, had a Citroen convertable, a dog, and fresh food in the back..

Yes, nicely done, Herr Feldmarschall, I like the one in the cotton duck field coat particularly.

Like Doog, I think the tanker could be improved just a hair, I think you could narrow his eye slits, they seem to pop just a little too much.  I'm thinking a little more of the flesh highlight along the lower lid side.

Your Schaeferhund is excellent!

Regards,

Brad

Here, I adjusted the exposure a bit on the "Lili" and Alpine figures... Hope ya don't mind, Manny..

I don't get it Hans, does that look better to you? Is it sabotage? Why not alter this one ?   It's 'darker' than either of those. Weren't they all kind of good enough?

Ain't trackin' ya, Indy...  

Sure, I can lighten them two guys as well..

Before:

After:

Dunno about your screen, but they was pretty dark on mine... Couldn't see the face detail on either...

were'nt  they good enough for discussion purposes there Colonel?  Hhhhmmmm?

Sure, if we're discussing shadows... I just wanted to see what everyone else was seeing in order to discuss it as well... As for making them too light, well.. I ain't pro-photo editor,  so I did what I could to help m'self (and anyone else who's in the same boat as me) out... I couldn't see the faces, now I can...  

If'n it bothers Manny, I'll be happy to delete them...  What say you, Herr Feldmarschall?

Manny ..... excellent figures. I'm very curious to see what it is that they're so "bummed" about. I think that will help tie in the "dogged" faces.

COL ... Thanks for lightening up the pics Manny posted. I was getting ready to do it myself just to have a look-see and then POOF, there they were. HAHA!

Looking forward to this one, Manny ....
