A testbed for several new (well, for me at least) techniques for painting red. Won Best Painted at the Too Poor For GenCon 2006 Tournament at Clicks in St. Louis, MO.
I can see that you've got a wicked tight gradient of light red, red, dark red on the shield area, with a crack running down the middle, that's awesome, I only wish your pics were less pixelated so I could see them better.
The pics were originally larger, but the middle one (Front view) was smaller for some reason. A mistake I made when I first edited it, most likely. Anyway, when I mashed them all together, I'd already moved back to school and the originals are long gone, so I had to make do with shrinking the rest down to the same size. Will try to get a better pic up later, once I finish setting up a photo booth here.
Seems about average at the moment. Needs a few close ups and clearer pics i think. Don't worry, it doesn't mean your works bad. A lot of us are let down by bad pics, even the big dogs :)
