Oh, I don't know how to change that. I posted them through my iPhone.

No, they are. Upside down and VERY heavy.
Very heavy?

They are right up to me. You think the pic hosting is messed up? I don't expect you to do a headstand to see them.

The domain expired on the 28th. So now it's in a holdin period for them to call in and renew it. In the meantime the nameservers are pointed to a default reminder page instead of the hosting servers.

Thanksfor the nice replies, I'm happy that you like my style
Right now I'm working on the pictures for a step-by-step tutorial of my bases while I'm painting the rest of my zombies (2 down 3 to go).
I am looking forward to the how to on the bases.
-
Here's an outdoor photo with natural lighting. I need a camera with Macro/micro capability.
-
I'll see if I can get better lighting and better pics.
-
I had a feeling it was the bags. aT-43 never came in bags and their minis were in the correct poses.
-
Tried to get a close up. Keep in mid that I didn't use flash on the camera. So anything that looks reflective is actually a highlight that I painted in.
I make black look like it has depth on the boots I highlight with Hawk Torquise and Chaos Black mixed together. Then add codex grey in a small quantity to the mix for final touches.
-
Finally finished. Haven't settled on the bases yet. Not sure if I like them. Pictures don't even come close to doing them justice. Alli have is a camera phone :-(

My now I try to focus my highlights in places where light naturally hits the model. This add depth and contrast. Being colorblind helps at this stage.
-
Third level highlights. Lighter again an now it starts to get very Open to interpretation
-
-
Second stage of highlights, the paint gets lighter in color and I paint less and less surface area each level.

Back of the suits so you can follow along.

STEP 6: Let the wet brushing begin! - now I did my first layer highlights. This technique requires watered down paint, and you trace all of the high points on the model. Imagine you are painting a two dimensional surface rathe than a 3 dimensional surface. This requires a fine detail brush, good coordination, and knowledge of brush control and paint surface tension. I will continue this step through a few highlight stages. Feel free to stop when your patience runs out or you have achieved your desired brightness.
I re did the suit with highlights of Greatcoat grey, and the flesh with Thrall flesh.
-
STEP 5: The Gauntlets- while the washes were drying I carefully held the minis by their bases and painted their weapons in combinations of Pig Iron and Molten Bronze. Both from the P3 paint line. This was not a dry brushing, use a small detail brush and wet the paint down very slightly and apply the paint only to the raised surfaces. Leave the black in all of the creases.
Now that the washes are dry you can see how they have lightened up.
-
STEP 4: the washes. In this step we apply a liberal wash of Devlan Mud only to the grey uniform. If you skipped the previous step of basecpating with Greatcoat Grey this will not work. It is important to let the washes air dry naturally. Do not try to artificially speed this process up.
To the flesh I apply a wash of Secret Weapon Algae Wash. One drop from the bottle was enough to coat all 5 heads.
Many would consider. Wash to be one of the last steps of painting a miniature. I am using it as a guide to show me where to paint my next coats. Plus it darkens the model before I get into my primary colors and highlights.
-
STEP 3: I painted their entire uniform with a thinned down coating of Greatcoat Grey from the P3 line. The I painter the faces with a mix of snot green and rotting flesh.
Hang in here with me.
-
STEP 2: after correcting the poses of two of the zombies, I painted the bases, boots, and fists of all of the zombies. I just took GW black undercoat and watered it down.
This is when I discovered that I don't care for the default primer.
-
They all look good, and I can see that your heavies are going to be awesome.
