Are the bricks scored into something? Like, foam or something? Or are they sculpted and stacked, like from clay?
I've been thinking about trying the latter lately. Just seems like a fun idea for some reason.
Huh? You don't know them? The Indigo-Go's is that popular band that's going to be doing a concert in town soon! They've got Evan, the keyboard king, the thumping bass of Japas, the cool drum beat of Tijo... But above all, Mikau's weeping guitar and the shimmering voice of Lulu make the best songs!

They are scored. I used foam insulation.

It is one of my favorite series. Had the originals on the NES, and of course got MGS1 when it came out. Too bad I missed out on figma Snake, and on revomini Snake too.

I guess the real question is why you're so fanny frustrated that somebody likes something you don't.
>>6304682
>Any buyer's remorse yet?
Actually no, I thought I would get severe buyer's remorse but they're so fucking cool that I just don't care, however, I can't honestly tell you if they're worth the money or not, depends on you, if you have the money to spare it's a good "expense", I got 3 sets on a fucking whim, something I never do, it almost made me lose other POs but I can say it was worth the risk, they're awesome.
>>6304810

>>6304816
oh ok i see a lil blurry if you zoom it in my bad man.....
>>6304821
It's really all blur m8, and the frame is weird.
I'm not trying to boog out here, just saying.
>>6304821
Yeah zoom tends to kill picture clarity.
>>6304837
yea its fine as long as you dont zoom in on the pic
I just started toy photos
>>6304843
Welcome aboard and have fun then, man.
>>6304845
you too
>>6304821
Zoom is fine, pic related was taken by zooming in.
Thing is you gotta put the camera on a tripod or something solid, manually focus it, then use either a remote or the 10 second timer.
>>6305069
I think they meant when they zoomed into the jpg to look closer, not using literal zoom as in the camera function.
And anyway, a tripod isn't gonna solve everything really, cause I don't really think this is a case of shaky hands. They need better lighting, cause it looks like they took this with a really shitty camera (VERY heavy noise/grain despite decent looking lighting, and poor image definition even in the focused areas), and they need to learn to focus their shit (I can see the keyboard and monitors much clearer than the figures).
>>6305069
>>6305083
I think also what you might be forgetting is most people taking pics of toys also probably are using phones, or at best, a non-DSLR camera. And in non-optimal conditions too. I know thats what I'm working with.
>>6305127

How do I git gud at setting up cool shots? I feel like anything that starts to get elaborate just falls to shit or I lose the poses and can't recover them just when I got them right. This is the best I've got, and the lighting's shit (not that I was really trying for good lighting, but still), not to mention the fucking twist tie shit, but there was no getting them to stay otherwise, and I really liked this idea.
>>6309769

>How do I git gud at setting up cool shots?
Lighting (most important, good lighting solves most "your shot looks like shit" issues), angle, and background. Then hitting it with photoshop (or a similar program).

Its obviously supposed to be dark and it's not blurry. Anon Sampai is one of the better contributors on this board

>>6314328
>its still TOO dark though
It's supposed to be dark, but I'm not sure what you mean by "TOO dark." I was looking to show enough so you know what it is but I'm not sure what else you'd like to see here
I was looking to evoke an 80s look which is whats up with the color and grain but if you notice I always zap the color down a bit and add a bit of grain and vignette---- I do this because (to me) it makes it look like something you'd see on a movie screen. I mean, look at this >>6305069
>Focus is simply not good
The actual image is huge. What I end up posting here are oversized but compressed images. Not as big as the original but still too big to keep it sharp because they're optimized for Instagram. Its kinda like the whole "zoom in and loose clarity" point you guys were making earlier.
Before anyone starts I don't resize because frankly I'm too lazy
Also, I mostly shoot with a wide aperture which gives the pictures a softer look. I do this because I want to loose the background. I don't do the whole ACBA "everything in an alley" look so if the picture isn't obviously taken outside it means the background is something in the room. >>6303188 is a black sofa with red throw pillows on it.
> he should be able to take some criticism.
I do, but to be fair I take most of my criticism from specific people. There are far better people than me on Instagram and Flickr that I admire but unless I'm impressed (which is often) I take most comments with a grain of salt.
>>6314323
Thanks!

That's a pisspoor excuse and you know it.
You go through all the effort of setting up the photo, lighting, poses, shopping out stands, adding grain, reducing colour, compressing, etc.
But resizing is too much?
>>6314625
>You go through all the effort of setting up the photo, lighting, poses, shopping out stands, adding grain, reducing colour, compressing, etc.But resizing is too much?
Pretty much.
I mean I specifically make them for certain avenues and I'm not going to create a special version just to please an Anon on 4chan.
I plan, I shoot, I edit and the end product is the end product. Whether or not it translates well to THIS specific platform vs the ones it was intended for is an afterthought.
Plus, its not that big a deal.
>>6314640
>I'm not going to create a special version just to please an Anon on 4chan.
I just assume that guy whining about pic file size is a troll anyway.
>>6314829
I'm not the guy that was whining, but my two cents is that the only pictures that shouldn't be resized are really high quality photos meant to showcase detail. Your average everyday /toy/ poster probably doesn't have that great of a camera, and so resizing makes the picture look less blurry
>>6314829
>someone is complaining about something I don't personally care about?
>kek they must be a troll xD
>>6314855
>Your average everyday /toy/ poster probably doesn't have that great of a camera
I can attest to that. My camera's a cheap point and shoot. Gotta work with what you've got.

Literally everybody else is abuzz over it so I'm not sure if I'm being told to calm my tits or someone else is. My only thing was that I don't agree with it being too dark.
Also, I take assloads of shots I don't really love, only really publish the ones I do and those I'm on the fence about usually get tested here for reactions.
