My VERY FIRST custom!
« on: August 30, 2008, 19:14:07 »
Hello, Playmofriends!
 :wave:

If there's something easy to me is to give names to klickys,
but to give klickys to names is a rather difficult art,
in which I am a beginner!

This isn't a famous character, (certainly not the famous writer!),
but only one of my characters, from stories written before.

I noticed that I had some elements to make him come to
klicky,
& now, here he is:

Let me know what you think about it,
although, not knowing him, you won't have much to think ...

Yours,
Gus

That is a very nice custom Gus, somewhat rakish! No sword?

Very nice custom, Gus - definitely the Bohemian sort.

Very nice, the colours go well together and everything in his costume fits.

Now we need to know more about Hugo; what times did he live in, what was he writing about, did he have any companions?


I still think you could photograph in better focus by moving the camera back about six inches, and then cropping to get the framing you want. The backgrounds are in better focus than the figure, and we really want it the other way round. I don't always use macro mode for close-ups, and I always get better focus than this.

If I manage to do all my internet affairs early, I'll try to do it still tonight, Martin! You've got to be right, and I need better pictures of Hugo!

Besides, I can manage resizing with Photobucket, now, so, it's a bit easier to do it as I like it ... I think it'll work out!

Hi Gus

The custom figure looks good.

The lady riding a boar-headed man in the background adds additional flavor!

Specially in the crazy picture of the frantic writer, aye Tim! 8}

Even so I followed Martin's advice, and took some pictures some inches away, so as to get a better focus ... It reasonably worked out, but it's a bit ... er, I'm a bit nuts about sizing, so, the croping process is giving me some work, and I'm without the time I need :'( ! ... It's different than shooting and automatically resizing ... And the focus doesn't get thaaat much better, but it does get better, so (it works, Martin), I'll put the pictures attached here, as soon as I manage to do it ... (Hard days at work haven't been helping either.) Not to mention the condo meetings. Guys in my building got crazy! >:(

Anyway, I hope on the weekend (who knows before ... hm, unfortunately I don't think so) I'll bring them from "the bucket" to Playmofriends :)

As well as write a bit about him, if I may ...
