First of all, welcome to the forum .

Second of all, could you please respect rule number 3 and not use so many abreviations? Some people are not natif english speaking and babelfish won\'t handle the translation.

Third of all, if you go in the FAQ (top left part of the page), you\'ll find, under \"How to use BBCode?\", how to post an image (sorry, I didn\'t copy it because it would be interpreted by motor and so not show up correctly).

Concerning your question on the eyes, you might want to check the articles. Here is what i found :

I tend to just use a brush. I\'ll do the white part in Bleached Bone, black line it with Dark Flesh, highlight it with Skull White, do the color part (it\'s larger than what you usually think, other wise it gives a stare effect), do the black part, and then put a spot of Skull White for reflection.

I hope that helps.

No you\'re not. And I hope my post didn\'t make it sound like I thought it. If so, sorry.

First of all, take your URL (hosted image) and copy it in your post. When you submit the post, you should see the URL appear in a linked form. Click it to test that you have the full URL. Once that\'s good, edit your post and add [_img_]your URL[_\\img_] (but without the \"_\").

Cheers.

[edit]And sorry for the double post [/edit]

[potatoofwrath]

what do you mean by hosted? does it have to be posted on the internet somewhere?

 

[green stuff]

Where is your picture? On your computer or on a remote host? It should be on a remote host (like http://www.imageshack.us/ or something comparable). You can get a free account on it.

Yes.

Another solution to Imageshack, is to just upload the image in your CMON account.

I got a few ogres in my gallery. Jump over and have a look.
My gallery

 

[potatoofwrath]

Awesome ogres,especially the one holding the empire guy. That was just plain funny 1 question, how do you take such good pictures? as you can tell, mine look pretty humiliating if you could help me with this i could take some decent pictures of my own ogres. They are pretty cool

It mainly has to do with the type of camera you have and also your background. A camera with a good macro ( I think ) are good for taking pictures of mini\'s. A whites or light blue background is als the way to go because it reflects like and doesn\'t create a distraction of the mini. lol, im still trying to find that perfect camera

 

[potatoofwrath]

i think my schools videocamera/camera is better than my dad\'s $250.00 digital one it is quite sad but hey, if it works, it works. Anyways, i\'ll try to find the brand of the school one, and take some pic\'s and post em so you can see the quality.

Top tip for avoiding staring eyes, have the coloured bit touching, or almost touching the top eyelid.
