Pathfinder Card Game Mini

This is the 3rd and 4th model painted for the Pathfinder Card Game: Skulls and Shackles.  The first two weren't worth posting.  Miniatures are not required for the game, but make it much more fun, IMO.  The bases are supposed to look like rocks on the edge of the sea.  Unfortunately, I haven't discovered the magic painting trick for making shaped and painted spackle resemble a convincing wave.  On a completely different note, this is the first time I've taken the image with my IPhone and I was surprised how closely it would focus--it behaved almost identical to my other camera in macro lens mode.  The colors and focal point are not bad.  I did not have a tripod or equivalent and I believe this is to blame for the slight blur.  If I can find a way to steady the phone, this will likely become the new way I capture miniature images (it is much simpler).
