- In this tutorial I introduce my method for painting Comic Style/Cel Shaded miniatures. For me, this style was heavily inspired by the Borderlands series and Sean Sutter's artwork for Relic Blade.

I think this is how im going to do my Bad Moon Orks! love the tutorial
When I think about cell shading "Jet Grind Radio" is the first thing that comes to mind. Thanks for making the video Eds.
This is a very underrated tutorial. Good work. The key definitely seems to come down to the black lining. It transforms the model like no other. Gave me some courage to try my own now.
Finally a tutorial for this style of painting
Love this style! So amazing.
A really enjoyable tutorial, I am loving this style of painting.
When you start painting but forgot you left the same song on repeat...
lol thanks for the tutorial. Really helpful.
This is a really awesome style. I hope to try it out soon. I may upgrade the terrible sculpts from mansions of madness with these awesome little deep ones and do them in this style. Thanks for the inspiration.
As an ink artist this look appeals to me a lot. My hands just aren't steady enough anymore to build up looks with traditional painting styles on models, and I feel like this would give me the freedom to still achieve a bold and effective look without having to stress over technique a lot.
Thank you for this tutorial. I want to do my Monolith Batman and my TMNT minis this way.
Awesome tutorial! Gonna paint my Tau in this way!
Hey Mike saw your video for the first time and I subscribed since your painting is insane. I decided to stay up late and try this on a reaper bones "wereboar" figure I had already painted red yesterday. It looms great thanks for the great instructions and awesome video
Co tu mówić...to jest niesamowity styl...ale ma jedną wadę...trzeba być świetnym rysownikiem jak TY! :P
Powinieneś mieć jakieś profity za ten akrylowy tusz...bo ja jadę do sklepu kupić od razu. :D
It's funny that you should mention Hellboy stylings at the end of the video... I came here to try and figure out how to paint my miniatures from the Hellboy board game!
I'll be doing some Hellboy specific tutorials whenever my copy shows up, they're all delayed indefinitely in Canada for whatever reason...
Halfway through this. I'm already amazed. It really looks like you've screwed up your mini with those first highlights and then a couple highlights later I'm blown away about how it magically just transforms to awesome. Hope I can remember that when I get to the "oh shit" stage of my mini.
Really awesome style and vid!
I've been walking around with this idea in my head for a while now but wasn't sure if it'd actually look good. Really awesome to see how you execute it so well and make it look awesome. I'm definitely going to try.
Please do :D
I'm a new subscriber. Soaking in this beautiful technique for my first two projects (Board games). This style fits those games perfectly, and I appreciate the thorough explanation.
-Mechs vs Minions (100 minions, 4 sets of 25 poses. All done in a cartoony style from League of Legends).
-Darkest Dungeon (300 ish minis, in sets of 4 or less. More variety, and darker asthetic. May wash it at the end to bring it down, but I'm hesitant).
im going to try to do my marvel united using thesebprinciples. thank you for the info.
A ninja scroll style would be very distinctive but very easy to do.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
You're very welcome! I'm really loving this style of painting and I hope you do too!
@@Epicduck I tried it for a mini I was painting for a friend, and now he wants to redo his whole army. I still need practice on the hatching, but you laid it out so well! I can't wait to try it out some more.
@@anjyaji if you're interested, I have a Facebook group I run that focuses on this style! Facebook.com/groups/comicstyle :)
I think I'm going to have to do this for my Rumbleslam minis! Thanks!
TheUallis oh man rumbleslam is perfect for this! Do it!
Any suggestions on how to do the Deluxe Ring? It's large, flat panels
I think I will try this with infinity minis...I love it!
Fabian Siemon the detail saturation on infinity minis will make it a challenge, but if you can pull it off it'll be awesome! Looking forward to it
Watching this to basically prep for townhouse tussle
I have some old Confrontation minis that would do well with this style.
Great video! I may paint genestealers like this 🤔
Great tutorial, and the music is very captivating, keeps me focus, just enough but not distracting. What song is this?
Great video, I was hoping someone would do this style of painting tutorial. I have some Infinity minis that I would like to paint in the cell shaded style. Hoping to see more cell shading tutorials with different colors.
hahaha i literally just came here for my infinity/aristeia stuff. haha this scheme fits both so perfectly.
@@AFatalPapercut and me
Really nice work !!!! What's the blue brush please ?
That looks really great, I wonder how 40k Tau would look like with this style? Maybe something I will try :)
James Kaplonek I've been wondering that too, haven't had a chance to try it yet... Some day maybe :)
If some of you do it make sure that I can see the results :D
I’m gonna paint my elder like this. I wasn’t a fan of the realistic looking types.
Excellent tutorial on the "Borderlands" look. I love this style. Now, someone just needs to make a great Borderlands miniature game. ; ) Keep up the good work!
I just started watching your videos and found this one quite interesting, but the most interesting thing was the sponge you were using to put your paints on. I'm just starting out and I think this is too advanced for me, but was wondering what the sponge was (I am assuming a wet palette). I've seen others with paper towels and parchment paper but was wondering what advantages you get from painting that way. Of course, subbed! Thanks for your time.
Its a sheet of felt, with baking parchment on top. Mostly I just it instead of paper towel so it's not a bright white spot on the camera, but it's also more durable and washable.
Wow, I didn't notice this comic style tutorials but now I want to paint some tyranids like this. Have you maybe tried tyranids in this style to see if it works for them?
I haven't yet, but I will sooner or later - and I think Nids are perfect for it.
Great video! Question for you: How would you modify this technique if you wanted to create a black-and-white comic style look. (ala Kevin Eastman's original TMNT comic)
Darker colors different shades of grey, really dark colors black(with white lines/crosshatching), and really bright whites.
I have a reaper werewolf that I'm wondering if this technique would be good for. Does this work for hairy creatures with a few smooth areas like exposed muscles and hands?
You will probably never see this but could you do something like this in black and white i wanna start painting with this style and make a couple miniatures that look like manga but i love the cell shaded with line shadeding too
very nice, where do you get your painting handle ?
Been thinking of this style for the DC Universe Minis game and Justice league game minis. They are fairly simple in style/details. on a separate question where or who makes the figure holder you use?
It's a Hobby Holder by gameenvy.net - you can save 10% using Coupon Code "epicduck" if you decide to get one :)
Do you think that for example Scale 75 model black ink would work?
Do you think the infinity models would look good in this style? I have the infinity operation kaldstrom models to paint
Citadel paints in droppers. My man!
Tommy D damn right! #cultofthedropper all the way
Tommy D amen man! God I wish citadel would get with the program
@@Epicduck did you transfer from the terrible pots to the dropper bottle? Is there a magical way to do this without a lot of waste?
Nevermind, found your video: th-cam.com/video/p_OR2ZeMKNU/w-d-xo.html
@@Ezekialify perfect :D btw I got mixed results with the metallics, some of them are best left in their pots. Unfortunately it's a bit hit and miss determining which work well
Hey Mike, I saw Drowned Earth over on Ash’s channel today, and wanted to ask how well you think this style would translate to the minis from that game? It looks and feels like a comic book to me, or an action movie shot in rotoscope circa A Scanner Darkley, and was contemplating picking it up and giving this style a try; other wise I still think I may get the game, but I may need to change up my art plans.
I think it'd work incredibly well on the dinosaurs and the larger pieces like Sage. Some of the human models are really detail-saturated and I feel this style works best when models have simpler details. Nix is pretty comparable to the Geomancer and might work out fine, but many others are busier. That said, the Gnome Alchemist is pretty loaded with small detail and he came out well enough :)
I'm wondering if you could lock in the highlights with gloss varnish then use oil based wash for black lining.
Gives you days to fix any mistakes.
Also possibly a zenithal undercoat for natural shading from the get go
A wash won't really give you the effect of tight controlled lines. It's probably save time, but you'd get a totally different look from it.
Epic Duck Studios I guess wash was the wrong term. I add odourless solvent to oil paint to create a wash consistency. I could just as easily add less for a thicker, more controllable result. The benefit being that it won't fully dry for a couple of days and can be reactivated during that time with a little more thinners.
But aside from that you probably have upto an hours work time with an oil based paint to fix or remove paint after it's been applied by just using a clean brush.
After an hour it starts getting touch dry and need to be reactivated as I mentioned.
Might be a bit less with a less runny consistency.
Also it doesn't dry on your brush giving you endless work time until you actually run out of paint on the brush.
You're describing an Oil Wash as I use and understand them. Still don't really get the feel of individual black lines from them though, unless you're spending a lot of time with a brush and some solvent very tightly controlling what you remove ... And then I think you're losing the time benefit you're after ;)
Epic Duck Studios I've ordered some acrylic Inc that your using to try my hand at this technique. I've got a fuedal guard army that I'm 3D printing that I think this would look good on.
Hopefully it's not too hard to achieve a decent result. It looks like it relies a lot on placement of the lines which might be an experience thing. Have you done this a lot to get the results your showing in your comic style tutorials?
the highlights is similar to how Sascha Herm paints.
Putting on the black lines looks like the toughest part here. The thought of doing hatch shading with a brush honestly scares me. Has anyone tried using a sharpie for the black parts?
I tried it with an archival ink pen (basically an extra precise Sharpie that won't fade) and I didn't like the result as much, the lines were all the exact same width and it kind of felt like it lacked character, if that makes sense? Also the tip of the archival ink pen is pretty stiff and took a bit of a beating from even a quick test, not sure the pen would have survived a whole model.
Have you experimented with Gundam pens? Clearly it would be difficult to reach certain areas, but I wonder if it would make cross hatching the large areas easier.
I've used them a little, but as you've noted they're difficult to get into a lot of areas. Ultimately I found I was using pens for maybe 20% of the linework and then switching back to a brush anyway.
Thanks for the info. I just received the Darkest Dungeon board game and I'm contemplating how I'm going to paint them. This tutorial gave me some ideas. Thanks.
Would seraphon from aos work well or would the scales mess with the black
You probably wouldn't want to outline every scale, I'd probably just underline them, and maybe just every other one or so... enough to imply that the rest exist
The same goes for other heavily textured miniatures - like the hexagon cloth common on Infinity minis, etc.Inking all of the detail would end up being too much, but doing a little bit of it to help imply to rest of the texture could work
Thanks for the reply
Did you make that mini holder? if not where can i get one?
It's the Hobby Holder from gameenvy.net - use coupon code "epicduck" and save 10% ;)
I'm thinking of painting my 40k Ork army in cell shading. Anyone tried this for an army, or at least a combat patrol?
I haven't done an entire army, but Bowtie Painting Studios definitely has! Check him out on Instagram: instagram.com/bowtie_painting_studios/
He hasn't been active for a few months because they went and had a baby - but scroll through their feed and you'll find Orks and Custodes.
@@Epicduck Thanks!
Awesome video however I found the background music was too loud over your speaking and couldn’t hear you
Awesome vid.. anyway to contact you to pick your brain for a bit
Sure, you can find me on twitter or Facebook, or come ask your questions during one of my twitch shows.
lol I don't have those .. I try to stay away from social media . Would you be able to reach me on email ? I'm just having some trouble on cell shading
