    Admiral Gallius Rax - Aftermath novels

    in New CRLs

    Posted

    So here is my proposed CRL for Admiral Gallius Rax. I mainly took the info from the Grand Admiral Legends, and the cape from Director Krenic and added them together. 

    In all fairness I do believe it is a long shot of getting the character approved being that there is no official media of him, but I feel it is worth a shot since he is a canon character with a uniform description: 

    “Rax wore a white uniform reminiscent of the Grand Admiral Uniform and a long Scarlet cape.” 
    “He wears the white of a grand admiral, somehow clean despite the filth of this world. A red cape swoops behind him, stirring dust.” Quote from Empires End. 

    For those who don’t know he is from Chuck Wendigs Novels. 

    Description: Male, Dark Hair, Black Eye Color, and Pale skin Color.

    Little travel tripods that specifically work with cell phones can be found on Amazon for like $5, and they make a HUGE difference in how your photos come out, if you're trying to take photos alone.  The timer is definitely your friend.  Just set up a chair and pile boxes, books, etc., on top, or use a small ladder, even, to get the phone to the right height.  (If you don't have a tripod, else, duh, use that!)

     

    Number one recommendation is to shoot things outside during the day, so there's lots of natural light.  (note: not necessarily high noon, which produces harsh black shadows)  The end of a hallway lit by one lamp is a terrible place to shoot.  Even low end cell phones these days can take semi-decent pictures, if you give them enough light.  Trying to shoot indoors under mediocre artificial light guarantees bad photos that will annoy your GML and just cause delays, since they'll have to ask you for better pictures so they can actually see detail anyway.

    I definitely feel that I ended getting one and finally got to a point where the pictures are good enough to submit quality wise. 
     

    Trying to find good lighting was hard.

    Does anyone know if this would be a good way to take my submission photos. 
     

    I tried taking pictures once already, but my other camera quality was to bad and I can’t get my phone in a good angle to take them. 
     

    I don’t have anyone else to ask so any advice appreciated.
