[FullyPainted]

Hey folks,

I am new to the forums here, but have started a blog to keep in touch with the mini community. I would love to get a few people to check it out and get some feedback. If this is not the correct section to put up such a post please let me know, I will re-post it in the appropriate place. Thanks in advance!

Nice looking site. Easy to navigate. Some of your photography could use a little work. It appears you used a flash or a single lightsource. Multiple sources look good and white balance is also a plus.

Thanks! I am using a single light source as you mentioned. I am planning on reading some of the tutorials as photos have been a week spot for me. I do appreciate the input!!!

easiest way to learn is to take pics during the process and post them in the wip section, ask for feedback not just on painting but on the photo quality (too light, too dark etc)
spacemunkies photoshop tutorial is a cracker so hunt down his user name and check his signature as the link to his tute is in it.

If you see a figure and think wow how did that painter achieve such and such an effect then simply ask them, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Less words, more pictures!!!!!

(oh sorry, I was just talking about this playboy magazine i found)

But, seriously, I'd suggest breaking up a few of your heavier text areas with pictures. Seeing a huge block of text often puts me off, but smaller blocks interspersed with pics helps hold my attention.

Looks good overall though.
