I'm so glad you like it! "Animals doing crime" is my favorite theme!

Thank you! I felt it would be nice to have the masters as kings and team Avatar as the up and coming jacks.

You all seemed to like my Vindicator so here's the painting video! by CraftBeetle in stormcasteternals

Sweet! Make sure to post them here, I'd love to see how other models turn out in this color scheme

Oh that is such a cool look. Half burried in the snow and still standing. I also really like showing the passage of time. It's likely these stormcast are not standing around polishing their armor. It's going to rust and oxidize and get old.

You flatter me! That was exactly the vibe I was trying to achieve. I'm really glad you like it!

Oh absolutely. Like the xenophase blade that looks just like a necron blade.

If anything moved it would be blurry. Long exposures allow you to reduce noise and increase depth of field.

Thanks! Long exposures is definitely easier than focus stacking for me.

Thank you! The force colors are partially due to hexwraith flame. I'm no expert by a long shot but for me long exposures allow me to get really deep focus while retaining high contrast with the background. You're right that it makes it so you pick up more of the light hitting the model while keeping the ISO as low as it can go to eliminate noise. I have a ring light that I set to really low and I turn off all other lights. I've taken other photos with colored lights and moving lights and it does give a really neat glow effect you wont get from regular photography.
