Also, I'd love to see pics of him next to someone else, like ROTF prime.

Igor is hilarious.

thanks. I saw someone else on this board post a WIP using Long Haul's head, unsure who it was - but thanks to them for the idea there. Igor has articulation in both his arms.

But my real reason for posting is to thank you for using a white background. Dark box photography makes it harder for me to appreciate the work involved in putting the piece together. I hope others will use this more often in the future, as well.
thanks, I agree about the white background. Gonna continue to use that on my customs, exposes the hidden details normally drown by the black background.

Lovin the white background, black is great for creating atmosphere and dramatic shots n poses but for showcasing a piece of art and being able to see the true colour and all the detailing its gotta be white.
that would be great, thanks!

I might have to go against the grain on this one. White backgrounds might fit vibrant, white-based figures like Wheeljack or Sunstorm, or really black figures like what deliciouspeter often creates, but I get the feeling the white looks over exposed in this gallery. It makes it hard to see what's going on in the details.

Or maybe it's just the lighting, I dunno.

I still love your black background shots. For darker toned figures the details can really pop.
thanks man. I know, I miss the black sometimes already. As for the over-exposure, I see what you mean - I still have problems with black, white's gonna cause problems I am sure at least for a bit. Thanks again for upsizing that shotgun, one of my favorite parts on Megs.

I find the dark backgrounds preferable for Decepticons. Much "Eviler".
thanks!

yeah, i have them both here, and looking at the concept art, think this one fit 1000 times better.

Holy. Crap. This is GORGEOUS man. You are truly a master of your trade.

And I like the white. Makes the figure pop more.
