Jules I love your figures, they are amazingly well done as far as paint apps go. The small additions, albeit small in stature, are huge improvements. Using the classic POTF shoulder pad is great (I am correct in that assumption of the parts origin aren't I?) and the comm unit on the helmet is a great addition as well.
I realy think you are shooting yourself in the foot when you add so much photo-shoping to these images. Don't get me wrong the photo-shop is amazing, the added lighting effects give it such realism that it's fantastic...
but might I request a before and after images of the photoshop work on this figure so that we can appreciate the custom in it's entire physical form, not just it's edited "production" artwork form? I'd love to see an unaltered photo of your figures so that I can adequately comment on the craftsmanship that I know your puting into them...
(but still throw in a photoshoped image in there as the final reveal! they are breathtaking!)
BTW... I realize that most of the time you do supply an unaltered, or at least very little altered photo with your work... sometimes I forget how good your real life backgrounds are that at first glance I think they are photo-shops on your other figures, but I'd realy love to see an unaltered photo of this figure itself.
again, don't take this personally.
