Wowee, I probably should endeavour to update this thread a bit more frequently! Feels like only two posts ago that I was blowing the dust off months of inactivity...
Good news is that I got a shiny new camera for Christmas, which is capable of taking much higher resolution pictures than my last camera, which was incredibly grainy by comparison. Also, apologies for getting the afternoon sun creeping into these photos, it gives the model a creepy glow. Nice for effect, terrible for trying to blend the background away.
This is Reyda Wessenhaus, a contact from our Dark Heresy campaign, who was interesting enough to warrant a 54mm incarnation. He'll also be making an appearance at the Summer gathering as a contact within the Mack Conglomerate, so I'll be posting up his story later on Carthax for those that are interested.
Essentially he is a disgraced son of a noble household, exiled for losing a family heirloom in a card game. He is (relatively) young, impulsive and amorous, but most importantly, is an artist. He runs the Precipice Dreadquill, the most powerful propaganda machine for light years around. He still carries his sketchbook and drawing instruments with him, just in case he finds the right subject ("Draw me like one of your French girls..."). The eye makeup/warpaint was inspired by an INQ28 thread somewhere recently, I'll find it again and credit it properly, where someone had painted triangles into the eye sockets - I thought it looked cool, even if it wasn't intentional!
Comments and criticisms always welcome. Let me know what you think!
