Hello chaps, having a break from SYW and trying a new painting style, took about 3 hours to do these.
    cheers Al.

Guys, press "CTRL + -" several times to reduce the image, it looks great.

Yup, shrunk back down to 10mm size and those are very impressive indeed. Good job!

Try this.

Excellent work!  I've shrunk the images down a bit as well.

Thanks Leon, I will try 500 wide next time I post.
           Cheers Al.

WOW!

No worries!  I think the edit feature in Photobucket allows you to resize them to a pixel width as well, but I always find it easier to just do it using the code on here.

Those look terrific !

Great work and all in 3 hours .

Lovely work!!

Great stuff, Ali ! 

Very nice indeed

Absolutely superb.   The high contrast really makes them pop.

If your using a phone or tablet to post there is a nice app for androids called photo resizer which works well

Great figures Ali, look great

Very nice technique with superb shadow.

Cheers guys, this has been a useful painting experiment. Normally I base coat then wash, then base coat again. Then a mid coat then highlight, then I wash specific areas and highlight these and then I will black line any areas that need it and probably add a highlight to the highlights and generally faff about for ages. These were done with a base coat then highlight or just highlight over the primer and lots of primer showing, which gives them lots of contrast and makes them quick to paint. And at arms length these stand out and look better then the faffed about with figures, a case of less is more.
                 Cheers Al.

Why would you want to reduce them down? Blow them up - they still look great!

Must admit I like close ups, so I can see how others paint. But I suppose it is a bit unnatural and can be a bit unflattering.
