ElBundy's Random figure pictures (updated sept 18th)

Beautiful.
Not sure about skinny, doesn't she look like that in the game?
And yeah, this Chinese censorship is ridiculous.

Those photos are stellar!

Is there a tutorial somewhere for these AI backdrops? I would love to incorporate something similar into my photos.

really good pictures in which the figures always fit into the backgrounds so perfectly, as if they were real and really there

1. Photographing.
I photograph the figure in front of a monochrome background.

2. Cropping
I use the PhotoRoom app for cropping.

3. Creating the AI background
I use Freepik.com to create AI backgrounds. For a reasonable monthly subscription price, you get access to an infinite number of ready-made images and several AI engines. The Flux AI is extremely good and easy to configure. Camera settings, image formats, lighting etc. can be refined using selection fields.

4. Adding the background to the figure
Again I use PhotoRoom

5. Optional
Other postprocessing effects like filters, face editing or overlays
I use FaceApp, SnapSeed and Photoshop Elements.

Awesome, thanks ElBundy! I'm definitely going to look into this over the weekend!

Nice letteropener sword for Valkyrie. Love the penultimate photo.

Great new pics! That characters pink hair is certainly striking!

Sharp bright vibrant photo's you made there!

Great new pictures. I really love the Valkrie Headsculpt.
Man, I see such wonderful tattoos on all of your fantastic figures here in the forum. I definitely have to try that too.

Below is a mix between the use of AI and a real diorama. I created the picture of the action figure store with AI. It was printed out as a poster and used as a backdrop for the small scenes. I would like to have a store like this in real life.

Yay! Action figures shopping for action figures.

Very nice work, Oliver, and humorous too!

Cool shots, Oliver!

Great pics and so funny!

very cool!!! Love how Chris didn't get a chance to go past the door  

The result is great and very lifelike with the depth of the shop and all!

Also I like your pink hair girl

That's excellent. Really great work on the whole thing. Love the shot of Chris getting held back from going in. Very fun!

These shots look so good! The action figure store does look like one I'd like to have in my area. Glad I don't.

What stands out to me is, once again, how rich your photos are in story, which is due to hyper realistic posing/staging. You're so good at that!

I bought the bar from MMMToys. The individual parts are made of metal and look cool. Unfortunately, the paint flakes off extremely easily. Below are a few scenes with the furniture with my favorite headsculpts (Trish, Emma Stone and Charlie Sheen). Backdrop and floor are printed posters.

That's a great set up Oliver, and the bar looks really cool! Shame about the paint peeling away tho.

Looks great. If some paint chips off, it might be realistic wear and tear. Or consider spraying it with some transparent coat (whether matte or gloss, you will know best). But test it first, lest it makes a mess.
Apparently Trish knew better than to succumb to Charlie's charm...

That’s excellent, Oliver. Nice work.

Cool sequence.
Do you have this many sixth scale bottles? Or were they added in post-processing?

They are real.

Very nice pics, Oliver!
