This is my first photo shoot in a while, and first with this camera. Also first with a black background. Testing things out, will hopefully get some setup and camera settings worked out soon that will make em better.
So, check out the only universe figure i own - Onslaught! Edit: Updated with vehicle mode pics. Adjusted lighting, settings, still working things out. |

What sort of background is this? The reflections look nice! I tried black paper bg, but the result wasn't good at all.
I have Henkei Onslaught, and like him enough to want Universe version as well

It is actually a fabric shower curtain. Has a nice texture to it. Instead of trying to make the backgrounds pure and solid, I'm gonna try using backgrounds that have some texture and color, wrinkles, etc instead. That way I don't waste time on shadows and stuff, focus on the figures.

That sounds interesting I will check out the local curtain shop in case they have some cool fabric.

Nice pics, Tony. It's a nice change from the standard stark white background and it gives the figure more character. I am curious how predominately black figures would appear, though.
Onslaught rocks. He was the first Universe Ultra fig I got, and he's just so impressive in either mode. Plus I like how he towers over most of the other Classics/Universe figures. I still hope we get Motormaster, Hot Spot, Scattershot and Hun-Grrr in the Ultra Class as well, if we can't get new mold versions of the combiner teams instead. I mean, Onslaught evokes Bruticus all by himself.

Updated with some vehicle mode pics.
Glass - get a picture frame, use the glass that comes with it. |

Hey, Tony. Have you taken anymore pics since this shoot?
You said you were testing things out before, that's why I ask.

I have messaged Tony twice asking some questions, but he hasn't replied. I guess he is just too busy.

I've been debating on getting this figure for some time.. Maybe I'll finally snatch it up before they're all gone. Great pics!

Nice pics I really liked this figure when I picked him up, but it's just sad he's not part of a new Bruticus combiner mold.

I'm sure someone could kitbash him into a combiner, though. Maybe repaint Hound as Swindle, Astrotrain as Blast Off and the 2-pack Megatron as Brawl. No idea what to do about Vortex (U. Blades is too big).

I think he does very well for not being a combiner. He size and shape alone evoke Bruticus to me, so much that I don't really mind.

Blades is too big). It'd look pretty sweet too with the Onslaught shoulders. And that Onslaught Gallery is epic sweet! Keep up the AWESOME work! |
