If you want to post smaller pics, you can import pics into Paint & then hit Image, Resize, chuck in percentages & you're sorted

Alternatively you can add a "width" attribute to the img tags. See below. <--- (cockney accent) Not a lotta people know that  :D

they look good, I would go with a real metallic paint though to bring out the swords, the non-metallic paint job while done well makes the swords blend in too much. Other than that lovely, especially the eyes.

Nice work with these skeletons, I love the red malevolent eyes too...
The black swords are a good idea, but the shields seem oddly new and shiny in comparison... Maybe did you use a glossy varnish, or is it the flash of your camera ?

Send more photos of your work if you can !

And here is a shot of my zombies, WIP at the moment, but i wanted opinions.  Its also with my phone cam. :(

Here you are.  These 10 are from the FU16 pack.

Edit to put mini id in.

Those look great  8)

Couple of thoughts though (as you asked!):

- vary the skintone a touch - I'd give them a drybrush with a variety of grey / white / green / bone - it'll 'lift' detail & subtly differentiate them from each other [we're talking *light* drybrush here BTW)
- vary the clothing a touch as well - again, a simple drybrush with a variety as above will work fine
- on the same pose ones - bend arms / knock a couple off - again, simple way of adding further variety  8)

Hope this helps!

I like the zombies, but I'm with Nik on the flesh tones being a tad off, I'd go with something more 'rotten flesh' if you know that GW colour.

This is the type of zombie i was after doing, (http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Politics/images-2/dawn-of-the-dead.jpg)

Im happy enough with how they turned out, ill see what i can do with the next ones. im not sure what colour rotten flesh is.

Good and creepy. I hope we'll be seeing your brush at work on some historical stuff too one of these days.

Rotten flesh:

Here's a colour chart, it's on the third column.  blue-greenish flesh tint, kinda.  With your reference pic, I can see what you're doing, though.  I always imagine zombies to be more off-flesh in colour, but it's hard to discuss about the colour an imaginary being is supposed to have, of course.

Zombies aren't imaginary - they're real - I could show you a few at my workplace  :P ;D

FierceKitty i did some bases of 10mm ww2 brits sometime last summer i think, when i was originaly planning to get into BCK, other things took over though.  Here are some pics of those http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l116/count_zero99uk/10mm/

I need to find out what sand people use when basing 10mm as the stuff i have looks way to big next to them.
