The above photo shows me putting the finishing touches in place...
Interestingly enough, the escaping green gas (Which is what prompted these photos) is no special effect...besides minor brightness and color saturation changes. All looks are made "In-camera". The green gas is where my backdrop drooped down and was touching the figure. It stayed put so I took a few pictures. I couldn't have planned it any better.

 This one (above) is...without a doubt...my favorite!!! The two below are un-watermarked versions for you to use as you wish-Enjoy!

Lol !! Happy Halloween all!
(FYI...The Undead Element symbol is a close up of the Power-A Portal platform)

Happy Halloween!

Here is an un-watermarked version, I will be trying to save un-watermarked versions in the Pica Alblum (click on the slides how gadget in the upper right hand corner). Sometimes the aesthetics are far better and I want people to be able to use them in their own projects!! 

And again...

Happy Halloween!!

For all the Crusher fans...(Only wish I had Granite Crusher!!!...lol)

I wanted to post a cross section of the Lightcore set. As I build the Blog ( and more displays), I want to hear from other players which characters they want to see more of. Perhaps a favorite that is under represented or just doesn't get the Respect!! they think they deserve ( a la Boomer!). Then create some art that does them justice. Let me know who you would like to see.
I have many shots of characters on the Earth island and some others that I would like to clean up and render as sets. Perhaps...by Element, or The Dragons, or Fire and Water. And the Swappers present a whole new can of worms..lol. A BIG can!
Anyway...Enjoy.

What the hay...one more...

Taking a page from the New Star Trek movies (Dated myself there): Lense Flares...Lense Flares....More Lense Flares!!!

And to start it off...Jet Vac the Adventurer....these were some of the first I did and when I looked at them, Jet Vac had the definite feel of Indiana Jones...

The builds continue, as I will be posting more up soon. 

However, I'm starting a new addition to this blog, which was an upshot from all the builds: picture sets of my favorite's:  Activision's SKYLANDERS!

The first set will be "The Lightcore". Based, obviously, on the excellent lightcore figures for the Skylanders Adventures by Activision. These were the first not taken directly on our islands and taken to highlight the creative characters and the excellent work put into making them.

I found myself creating wall displays and taking pictures to document the process. The shots were fun to do and turned out far better than I expected. So...share them with other fans and enthusiasts, I say!

Feel free to copy and use them any way you want..they are there for the enjoyment of all!!!
