The mirror effect is just a piece of transparent plastic (a poster frame cover, actually) that I put on my desk, over a piece of black posterboard. In retrospect, I think red posterboard would’ve been a better choice, since I’ve seen a lot of promo art where Rei has this dark, red tint to her.

I’ll happily admit that the shadows are massively enhanced by Photoshop XD I usually do a levels adjustment and contrast increase on all my pictures.

Hot Damn! Those new Rei shots look so smoking hot!
How did you achieve that effect?

I still didnt review her since I couldnt figure out a good way to shoot her since pictures turn out boring

>> Leonia
Thanks!

>> Ashlotte
Thanks to you too! I think I need to re-shoot Exelica in this manner, too.

Indeed! I keep my old photos around even after I replace the links on the individual reviews just so I can look back at them later and gauge how I’ve progressed.

I do like the dark XD Admittedly, one of the big reasons I take darker pictures is so that my mistakes are obscured <.<

When we look in the past and look at our first photos of which you were so proud of, you got a glimpse of our evolution.
By practicing, our eyes can spot defects quicker and you said to yourself : “OMG, how could i take those shots…”

Your evolution is excellent and that can be feel in your last reviews.
I enjoy your dark style, who’s kind of your signature.

Rei photos are superb!!

Really nice figure. I love your atmosphère, and particulary that of Rei. I saw your picture on Tsuki-Board, and I was impressive by the miror effect. Two really nice shooting ^^

I really like this Rei figure, although I wish it were a bit bigger. Like 1/6 scale. I wish that every figure were in 1/6 scale or bigger.

Yeah, this version of Aegis takes quite a few liberties with the character design XD Particularly with the proportions. I kinda like how she can look like she’s sad or smiling depending on the light, though.

And thanks for the compliment! My cheap poster frame plastic cover is the hardest-working cheap poster frame plastic cover around.

I just got this Rei version too like a month ago at a discounted price. Your new photos of her are definitely nice. I particularly like the reflections.

I don’t know about Aegis. She doesn’t interest me, probably is her face. She looks sad

But again, I must say your new photos are very much better than the old ones. GREAT WORK!
