Paint to Life

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 มี.ค. 2020
My name is Mike also known as GM Atank and I’ve been a D&D Dungeon Master since the mid 90’s.
What is Paint to Life? This channel is for D&D players, DM’s, casual miniature painters, and internet wanderer's. Basically we take miniatures, and paint them - but these are not just for show.
We bring life to these through a blend of Paint, Lore, Habitat, in-game use, and a back story about our subject then present it for guidance, inspiration or just your enjoyment.
What is Paint to Life for you? Hopefully something to look forward to Saturday's when I release my videos. As an extra, I upload the painting footage separately on Tuesdays with my commentary for those interested in knowing how/why I chose to do certain things.
So, please take a moment right now to click the subscribe button, and ring that bell so TH-cam can alert you when my videos go live, and we’ll share this experience together.
I know I’m personally looking forward to it.
Wash your hands people!

Much, much better! Bahamut's blessings!
I always imagined it came from the chest and to try to speak it with opening and closing my mouth with every other syllable since well those who speak this language dont have cheeks
Awesome
what is the silver paint you put after the black primer?
This is need, in the campaign that I’m in my character got turned into a crystal hatchling. So this might be helpful
Neat
The last one with the magma dragon is exactly how I envisioned my dragons to speak. I do have a question though is wyrm speech different from regular draconic?
the draconic language sounds like the strogg language with the deep sounding voice
All you have to do is soak it in warm water and it will fit together nicely. and you can drill out under his feet and he'll come right off his base. Nice paint job.
Is this a standard mind flayer or a ulitharid im asking cause it has the same staff iv seen in artwork for ulitharid
Yeah, I struggle getting past the ugly faze sometimes too. You just have to muscle through and realize that it's gonna look better. You're not finished yet.
this was awesome
Nah bruv 😂listen if I saw a dragon and he said it like that whooo body I'd find it hard to not laugh then perhaps my character dies from a draconian smack lol
Total underrated channel. Great content. Thank you!
Super helpful, man. I was really unsure how best to assemble this guy.
When you're watching a video about some dude teaching you how to speak Draconic and his pronounciation sounds German. No hard feelings, was just hard to ignore as a German myself
Use this exact video to paint my beholder, and I thoroughly enjoyed it
Wait, Kelemvor was turning 18 when he finished his merc life? So he was what, 14-15 when he was bedding Liliana. Oof.
On assembly, I just used some WD40 and managed to jam it in there with moderate force
I just built this one the other day and it was my first frameworks model (though I have assembled some Warhammer models before). It was a pain to assemble. The instructions are terrible and small and the legs don’t quite go in as they should and glueing them to the base was annoying since the tips of the legs are so tiny. But the final product does look cool.
What?? No melted butter!!
The miniature and the story are both great.
Lore+painting love the concep
So with a dragon's wing, like all winged animals, the wing is actually an arm with a heavily modified "hand", with the spikes being the claws of that "hand".
how to paint without crackle paint? Edge highlights in black?
Just about to paint mine for a friend and I needed some inspiration, I love it hat you did with the wings and I will 100% take that idea and run with it!
Neat
As an electrician who uses knifes and some who fillets fish etc. Always cut away from you. Very creative job done on that miniature.
No judgment here...I like how you quickly painted the roper yet ended up with a perfect design
Love the story while you paint.
A chilling tale indeed ! Now to find this model, it is sold out every where I have looked sadly .
Thinking of painting slaanesh a golden demon army base off a golden dragon super helpful ty.
6:30 i love it
it's apothecary, not apocathary... But a fun paint job! I'm about to paint one of these and I'm even more excited now! cheers
No offense, but if you were to switch you and the painting in the corner that would be a lot better. You're more audatory and the painting is quite presice and visual. Great job overall! Thanks for the content. Loved the video, and the painting was great.
This looks amazing. i just printed a Lord of the Print Bahamut and im going to take a lot of inspiration from this. THANK YOU!
Id like to hear the story but have the miniature work in full frame
I had to file the wings
Isn’t there a non-magical book (it only costs 10gp) mentioned in Waterdeep that allows one to learn Draconic on their own as if they had a tutor?
But what if I serve auril 😅
Why not prime and paint before cementing?
great video
Hello! Loved this vid - where can one pick up the reaper mini of her human form? Thanks!
Thank you for providing a good tutorial for making this Bahamut figure an actual platinum dragon again. There are so few figures ever made of Bahamut compared to Tiamat that its dissapointing when the official ones have such odd color choices
Glad to see you back! Been way too long.... Really enjoyed this episode, especially the sneeze! ❤️
Great job! Love your videos!
Thanks for giving us something! I really enjoy watching and hearing the lore as I paint minis ❤
God damn I’m glad you’re back! Total genius as ever!
You Humble me sir! I just picked up an awesome model travelling for work in Edmonton. I can't wait to paint it and make a P2L episode.
It’s great to finally see the diorama construction video. Gnarly, as always! I love all the details including the corpses and stalagmites. That webbing paint is cool! I look forward to seeing future videos, whenever you can make the time for them. 🤘😎
Much appreciate the comments, and glad you liked it!
