I really like the way you have painted this figure. It turned out beautifully.

Could you tell us how you photographed him? What do you use for lights, and how is it set up? The photos are excellent also.
Thanks,

That's a really great piece of painting Gerson. Very colorful and alive. I also have this figure and I will start it sometime. The photography also is amazing. Are you using oils or acrylics?

Hi, thank you very much for your comments, for the pictures i use a kodak z740 digital camera(5MP), and two lamps with 60W bluelight bulbs, and for the background any colored cardboard that you can find at any hobby stores, I thank my frined Ernesto Reyes for those tips

Thank you gary, yes i build the little wall piece by piece, using two balsa wood pieces as a guide and white glue , finally some model master dullcote for a flat finish.
