The only thing is the wife isn't to happy so if I can keep it, who knows. Either way 1 May have to go

What were the paint flaws? It actually sounds like I'm not nearly as alone as I thought I was with my paint issue... Which makes me feel a little better at least. You know misery loves company...

One small mark on the leg and some of the colour from the hair had rubbed away. Also the paint seems to mark very easy, when I put the hair on I had marks on her shoulders, cannot be seen but still a bit annoying.

[The13thWarlock]

Yeah, the hair marked my skin all up as well. I'm not worried about that though because the hair covers it. My damage was on the leg as well. Kind of crazy considering how good she was packed. I mean I don't think mine could have moved an inch in shipping. I'm sure Arahom is asking the same question.

Perhaps the paint didn't cure enough before being packed.

Curious what color/temperature lights did you use for the photos?

Wow -thank you qz33... I'm not a full time pro, but photography is just something I really love doing, and I've found I especially love doing statue photography - they're pretty much the perfect models

I mostly use Canon 600RT speedlites, usually with softboxes, to do my statue lighting. They produce full spectrum light, so depending on what color backdrop I am using I can bias the light to a warmer or cooler color temperature. For Arkhalla, I definitely went for a warmer color to match the feel of the piece.

Thank you guys again - it's great to share my photos with an appreciative audience, and I'm just happy to be able to contribute to the forum. And I always love seeing everyone else's photos here too!

Your wife isn't happy? Even though you showed her the sculpted vagina?

[deadscary]

No she hasn't see that!
