It's been so long since I used my camera that I've forgotten which settings I used to use... plus, it ended up taking me two hours to track down my tripod - I got distracted by all the mess in the way, and started cleaning the house.
Here are some photos of the cyborg figure I finished last night.



Sorry about the slightly fuzzy photos. Shot #3 is the only one that's really in focus, and it shows more of the detail in the metallics - I decided to try shading the silver with a few thin black glazes, painted on where shadows might fall.
I've also spent a lot more time than normal highlighting the flesh - with the slightly larger scale to the figure, you have to be a lot more subtle. I think I ended up with 6-8 layers - slightly more on the shoulders, as they catch the light more. Lots of fun to paint - I have four other figures from Sacred Blade, although sadly there are no more cute girls in mechanical corsets ;-)
