Some Doctored Photographs. . .










Some newly cropped, brightened, and sharpened photographs taken during the recent Battle of Doltz.  Enjoy!  Now, if only my new 2" roads from Hotz Artworks would arrive.

I love seeing photo's of your armies in all their glory. I really like the command and civilian vignettes as well. They add a lot of atmosphere.

Fooling about with the brightness controls is hardly photoshopping, Stokes! Your troops are looking as marvelous as always. WM

Thanks for setting such a good example with bright clear photos. Your special painting style shows up really nicely. I love the effect of the really big battalions.

I've also used various Army Painter washes (Mid-Brown and Strong Tone) as well as their Speed Paint (Grim Black) to make the manes and tails of the horses a bit m...
