I finally finished up my #FinalGirl#miniatures but having issues with how I want to photograph them for the blog.
Here are some examples of a really stylized version I did, that I think captures the #horror aspect of the game but I'm not sure if a more standard set would be better so people could see the colors used better.
Thoughts? I'm putting a poll in the replies to this post if anyone is interested.
@boardgamebreakdown Do you want the minis to be seen or transport the feeling of a game you'll play with them? My guess is that you want to show the minis, if you're not trying to recruit players or advertise the game.
@dereisenhofer That's a good question that I should probably know the answer to lol.
Here is an example of one I did that was less stylized but I feel like my painting just isn't that great and maybe I'm trying to hide that with the other type of photos
@boardgamebreakdown As long as you have fun painting and playing, all is good, at least in my book. What you could try, since they're pretty shiny, is to use more indirect lighting. Maybe put some white cloth between them and the light source to minimize bright reflections.
@dereisenhofer Awesome I will try that. I was curious how people made their blacl background so black. I'm using a black poster board but it's so grey in all my photos. Maybe there is not enough depth between the poster and the lamps. My lamps are not any of these special ones I see people using, just two bedside lamps so maybe the light isn't as focused as it should be?
Reference the pics in previous comment. I'm looking for opinions on if I should post the full set of stylized pictures, a set with more standard lighting or another option to be commented on. Thanks!
@boardgamebreakdown I know it’s a bit outside the norm for miniatures pix, but the colors you used seem like they would really pop in natural lighting. Without knowing the game well (horror isn’t my thing), wondering if outside with some greenery might be a good look? It looks like you did a great job with the painting!
@kimu Thanks for the feedback! I haven't tried natural lighting at all. Only with lamps and no overheard or with both lamps and overhead. I will give it a try!
