Action figure diorama building tips and techniques
I am fascinated with artists who have successfully turned their modeling and photography skills into a career. Lori Nix is one of these rare souls — she builds incredibly intricate worlds for both personal and client projects, and then photographs them for use in both corporate marketing materials and art gallery pieces.
Nix writes a blog which details the work process behind all of the magic.
I wish I could read Japanese, because I really want to be able to read Satoshi Araki’s blog. Araki builds dioramas that are so real, you have to work hard to find proof that what you are looking is, in fact a miniature and not a photo of a scene in the real world. Even the tiniest details are there — even down to the Amazon smile and shipping label on the cardboard box above.
Even if you can’t read Japanese, check out his site and browse through all his amazing work.
