as an intermediate painter, I took special notice of the following: the medium that was used in the flesh-tones to slow the drying for wet-blending transitions, how the bases were handled (these are very detailed bases and it is good to see such a no-nonsense approach), how the eyes were handled. ... think I will get out my KDM figures right now!
@@Sorastro on the same note, I often found my paints to dry out before smoothly applying the paint to the skin. I'm struggling with making the skin smooth (possibly because of the Reaper HD paint. Known to dry out quick and goes chalky). Do you think the glazing medium would help reduce the drying time?
@@zano_korellio Hi Zano! Yes - Vallejo's glaze medium has some retarder in so it does nicely slow the drying time. (Or you could just try adding some pure retarder..) :)
@@Sorastro Okay! That might be a good one to buy next time I passed Hobby Lobby or something. 40% is no joke awesome. The medium might help the paint to stop drying too soon on the brush, leaving some chalky texture on my minis (I noticed this particularly using MSP HD "stark naked" skin color)
What a wonderfully edited tutorial. The music and paint scheme gave off a unified mood that matched the miniature game system. Thanks for posting this! I'll be using this tutorial on mini soon!
this is jawdropping, watched it a second time now. I love everything in this video, both production and the actual minis. Makes me think of VaatiVidya.
Thank you! I've been wanting to paint them for ages myself, but only just feel that I personally have the skill and confidence to do them justice (in my eyes) :)
Sorastro's Painting I am holding off on painting mine for the same reason. Newbie to painting but got the game months ago to play with friends. I want to paint them so badly but have specific things I want to do I am not quite up to yet.
Clicked on your channel to show my brother some great painting tips and found this. We started freaking out as yesterday we opened KDM core box. Thank you so much. :D
No, thank you, man. I can't even express how many doors your tutorials opened up in my head, taught me how to consciously use color, try different things. Seriously, these are ones of the best painting videos out there and this particular one is a special gem amongst those :) Great work.
Bloody hell. This has got to be some of the most impressive OSL work I've ever seen, and certainly the best I've ever seen done as a process video. Hats all the way off mate.
Wow...very nice and informative guide. I paint now for more then 10 years miniatures and this is one of the best osl guides I saw in a while. I cant believe that someone gives a thumb down.
Those are some striking minis. Simple yet powerful in pose and presentation. You beautifully captured their "softness" with your perfect rendition of light and darkness. Thank you for breaking up those steps for us "mere mortals" :)
Every game publisher that uses minis in their games should send u a thank you note every day..lol.Your channel has probably increased the sales of those games considerably. The "Sorastro effect". Awesome as always. Cheers.
I've read and read tutorials on OSL, but this is hands done the best guide I've seen thus far!! Actually watching the process is leaps and bounds ahead of what I've read. I was already in love with your Zombicide (both versions) & IA videos, but I became a Patreon when I heard you had KDM on your plate for us. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
As a mini painter beginner (painting blood bowl players), i'm really impressed by what you've done, with skin tone and light. Congratulations, i hope i'll be able to paint my teams like that one day.
I've been putting bits up on facebook and generally pleased with the feedback, but then everyonce in a while someone posts some stella work with crazy skin tones i cannot wrap my head around, this is a great tutorial that I think will start me on a path to understanding what can be done with skin tone techniques.
It' is amazing how do you keep improving the quality of your tutorials, I've loved the OSL and how you have kept on the colour of the skin of the shadowed areas the sense of living skin and deepness despite the dark colours. These beautiful sculpture jobs deserve a very good painting, and IMHO you have done them justice. And, as usual, a great(and a little unsettling) music. I'm wishing to see your next tutorial. BTW I wish you the best for you and yours the next year. :)
Thank you so much Mikel! I did slave quite hard on trying out various colours and ideas in preparation for this video so I'm glad you like the finished result. Happy New Year to you too! :)
Glorious work as always, Sorastro. Many, including myself, have been waiting for a solid Kingdom Death painting tutorial. I really hope to see more, have a great new year.
The work you’ve done here is prob the best Ive ever seen you do. Between the minis, the effects, and even the background music, it all comes together magically. Im sitting here with my jaw open, absolutely stunned at how they look. I wish I had one tenth of your talent, I would certainly try to do all my minis and get into the hobby....but for now, I’ll just admire from afar. Hope you have a great 2018 and continue to *wow* us with your work...god bless :)
All I can say is; wow! The lighting effect really came out nicely on those miniatures and it gives them a very isolated, vulnerable feeling to them. It took me a second or two to realize the "groundwork" on the bases was actually individual faces, which is a nice, creepy touch.
one of the best parts of my day is painting and listening along. though I don't paint these minis, I watch for the basic lessons in painting, which help me in my own projects. it's fun to paint alongside you!
Been following your work ever since your Black Plague Series. Nice to see you still around. Fantastic looking paint job. I have been debating whether to paint mine or not. There really wasn't any good tutorials on YT to achieve the quality I wanted. There is now finally! Wonderful series, cant wait for more - subscribed!!
This is absolutely the best intro for OSL that I’ve seen. Outstanding job! I’ve dabbled with OSL but your breakdown is the first I’ve seen where it actually got through my thick head. Not afraid to give it shot more on my models now.
That was amazing. I love how you really clearly show each step and how thin the paints are and exactly how you do all the techniques. Best painting videos I have found so far, subbing and going to work my way through all your videos. Amazing!
Wonderful work as always. Coming from a true newb who has yet to really start painting (but has watched a ton of your videos and just got his rosemary brushes) this one feels like a real step up in difficulty with the light source involved. Black Plague, Decent and Imp Assault all felt like tutorials for beginners, where this feels more for the intermediate. Being a huge KDM fan I think ill paint all my imp assault and decent stuff first to gain the confidence to attempt this look. Keep em coming, I can't wait to see the White Lion and Antelope interpretations.
Thank you Daniel! You're not wrong about my approaching this less with beginners in mind. I also waited for a long time before I myself felt that I had the skill and confidence to do the minis justice (to my eyes anyway). :)
Wonderful work! Well done! Your videos have teached me amazing techniques and I'm just a board game fan with no experience in painting. Thank you for sharing. Counting days for episode 2!
The directional spray technique worked very well. It created patches of light in areas that might not otherwise have got it. like the patch on her back foot. Very nice effect
Thanks John! Yes.. although it's possible to work out logically where the light would hit, the directional spray just spells it out nice and quick, and it does sometimes show areas that would otherwise be easy to miss - like that back foot :)
Wow, that was very therapeutic to watch. I love your music too. Very atmospheric. Liked you on Spotify. Thanks for this. I've saved it to my painting bookmarks for future reference.
Wow just wow. You are an artist this lloks so incredible. I also wanted to thank you for tehse videos. Your old Zombicide video has helped me to build up enough courage to get into painting minis myself (started this September) Since the results were surprisingly much betten than expected it gave me the boost to try out how my beginner paiting skills faired on teh Shadow of Brimstone minis... Which resulted in em playing my first SOB game ever on a board with fully paimted minis.... And paintiing is so relaxing as well.
Thanks so much! I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed getting into this wonderful hobby. That's awesome that you painted your SoB minis up! There's nothing like playing a game like that with everything painted :)
Excellent guide, and very relevant and topical. Thanks very much Sorastro. I've almost finished my survivors and now wish I'd waited by one month so I could've seen your video ha
Thank you! That was a level up! I had always problem with the lightning sources, but now, I think I am on the best way, because of your amazing tutorial! Thank you very much!
I must admit i was waiting for your white lion for inspiration, i've assembled mine recently, thinking of making some lanterns in greenstuff to lay around the base for various sources of illumination akin to what you did with the survivors, as I really like it. Very curious on your take of it!
Great stuff! One can definitely look back and see how you've improved immensely and it's great to see someone experiment with different techniques. Please keep up the good work!
Seriously fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much for making this. Lookig forward to trying this out. Hope you will be doing more KD:M in the future. Thx again
Amazing as ever - I cant believe it's 3 years today since your Storm trooper video went up (which I found pretty quickly as I got Imperial Assault that Xmas ...
I'll also add - you have so much more patience than me - everytime I even think about film a paint I just have a panic attack - plus your work is amazing. Thanks for a couple of years excellent guidance on several projects. Now about to embark on Massive Darkness Lightbringer and three onslaughts of Cthulhu Wars. Will be using many of your techniques for MD from the Zombieside painting
Sorastro's Painting this inspired me to try blending skintones on my blight kings with the aid of the zenithal highlights 😊 the tinted skintones were especially interesting 😊
This was one of my favourite board game videos. I don't even owb a copy of KDM and i was fully captivated. I love how you didn't just paint them, but found this unique, almost classical gothic art style, and added the persepctive of light which made them so dynamic. Could you do some other paint styles? I would love to see Scythe figures done, in the same almost water color style. I would also love if you could do Inis in the same style as the art on the cards. I know the minis are not the best but still i would be very greatful. Anyway keep up the good work i can't wait to see the rest.
Thanks a lot Patrick! I did look at quite a lot of Renaissance paintings in preparing for this video :) It's unlikely I'll get to painting Scythe or Inis I'm afraid as I have so much on my plate already (including lots more KDM!) :)
Excellent, thank you. please do the white lion next and keep going with the kdm stuff, youre the only person ive found doing kdm who is both a good painter and a good producer of tutorial videos.
Thank you Konstantinos! For this tutorial I mostly used a Rosemary and Co. Series 33 Size 2 brush, except for the initial wet blending where I was using a Windsor & Newton Series 7 Size 1. For future reference, I usually put those details in the video description :)
And i thought i was reasonable good on my painting channel.. man i wouldn't believed you that these were painted if you didn't post this tutorial. Subbed
these miniatures deserve a good paintjob. They look stunning even without the coats. Never played the game nor do i think i ever will, but looking forward to more from this series..
Ha ha.. I've actually got two more Star Wars Legion videos finished but can't share them until Lucasfilm Ltd approve them (and they've been somewhat busy lately!) :)
I'm more excited for this than any other series and I don't even own this game or minis. I just can't wait to see what you do with them and how you do it.
Sorastro's Painting thank you for replying! I’m looking at getting a spray gun with compressor on alixpress.com for around 40 bucks so I can try it out (firstly on some cheaper models). What size nozzle did you use?
Thank you so much! (I know know if you’re aware, but the music can be found on my last album: open.spotify.com/album/1sCRvOl9mclwED42jGULVn?si=pwaA9zONSiqIchwQsYdddw) 😀
The lantern light effects really came out nicely.
+John-Paul Laflamme Thank you sir! I'm very glad you like it :)
Wow. I painted my survivors already. I thought mine were pretty good--but THIS--this takes it to a whole new level. Bravo, Sorastro!
Thank you very much! I did put a lot into these :)
I just love how neat your painting is. How little cleanup you need to do.
Thanks a lot! That really depends on what kind of standard I'm aiming for tbh.. 😀
as an intermediate painter, I took special notice of the following: the medium that was used in the flesh-tones to slow the drying for wet-blending transitions, how the bases were handled (these are very detailed bases and it is good to see such a no-nonsense approach), how the eyes were handled.

omg this music...very eerie .....i felt for the minis desperation .....awesome painting as always
Thanks Thanasis! I'm glad the music seems to have had its intended effect :)
What a wonderfully edited tutorial. The music and paint scheme gave off a unified mood that matched the miniature game system. Thanks for posting this! I'll be using this tutorial on mini soon!
Thank you so much Jose! I really appreciate that kind feedback 😀
This video is perfection. The painting, the explanation, the music. Subscribed
Thank you so much sir! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Lovely tutorial, got me to pick a paintbrush up for the first time in 10+ years. Can't recomend higher than that!
Thanks a lot Kurgol! I really appreciate that :)
this is jawdropping, watched it a second time now. I love everything in this video, both production and the actual minis. Makes me think of VaatiVidya.
Thank you so much! :)
i cannot tell you how much i've wanted you to do the KD:M range!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! I've been wanting to paint them for ages myself, but only just feel that I personally have the skill and confidence to do them justice (in my eyes) :)

It’s always felt like magic watching the figures come to life during your videos, but none so much as these! Phenomenal work!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me 😀
Clicked on your channel to show my brother some great painting tips and found this. We started freaking out as yesterday we opened KDM core box. Thank you so much. :D
Ha ha - thanks mate! Congrats on owning KDM - it's an extraordinary game :)
Just wanted to say, it's your best video so far. A truly astonishing result.
Thank you Łukasz! I really appreciate that :)
No, thank you, man. I can't even express how many doors your tutorials opened up in my head, taught me how to consciously use color, try different things. Seriously, these are ones of the best painting videos out there and this particular one is a special gem amongst those :) Great work.
Thank you Dario! :)
Beautiful music and finally someone who shows AND tells the important details in such a work. Well done mate
Thanks a lot Friedrich! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and music :)
Bloody hell. This has got to be some of the most impressive OSL work I've ever seen, and certainly the best I've ever seen done as a process video. Hats all the way off mate.
Thank you John! I really appreciate that :)
Holly S**t...
You can be really proud of your work !
The OSL effect is simply perfect, i will run to my house and take my brush to practice that. :)
+Olivier Clary Thanks so much Olivier! I did put my heart and soul into this one :)
Absolutely the most effective demonstration of object source AND ambient lighting I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing this. It is inspiring!
Thank you so much Christian! I really appreciate that :)
I love your musical compositions. I love how reminiscent of Diablo this particular music is. Perfectly fitting. Great work all around.
Thank you so much! I am a big fan of the Diablo games (and music) so that's a wonderful compliment :D
Wow...very nice and informative guide. I paint now for more then 10 years miniatures and this is one of the best osl guides I saw in a while.

+Waldgeist Thanks a lot Waldgeist! I'm glad you found it useful :)
You're work is amazing. I'm working through my black plaque minis with your videos. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of kingdom death.
Thanks a lot Brian! I really pushed myself with this one to try to do justice to the minis. :)
One of your best work. One of your best music. One of your best tutorial. Congratulations!!!
Thanks so much Carlitos! I'm very glad you liked it :)
YES! Awesome work. I am excited to see you paint the rest of the Monster box. You nailed the feel of the survivors.
Thanks a lot Robert! I'm glad you said that because I really wanted a specific feel for them :)
Every game publisher that uses minis in their games should send u a thank you note every day..lol.Your channel has probably increased the sales of those games considerably. The "Sorastro effect". Awesome as always. Cheers.

Not even just that... The whole thing is exquisite!!
:D
The pace of the videos you make are just perfect. I've learnt a lot. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that :)
I've been waiting for this! Great looking skin tones and OSL! You never fail to teach this old dog something, Sorastro! Thank yous so much!
Thanks a lot Ron! I'm glad you enjoyed this one, and I appreciate all your positive comments :)

Thanks buddy! I'm glad that feeling came across in the minis. For me this was really all about mood and atmosphere :)
Sorastro I am simply stunned. This belongs on a museum with other works of art. Incredible!
Wow best survivors I've seen painted, and I've seen a lot. Unreal! They look exceptional.
That's very kind Jeff - thank you! :)
one of the best parts of my day is painting and listening along. though I don't paint these minis, I watch for the basic lessons in painting, which help me in my own projects. it's fun to paint alongside you!

Thanks a lot John! Yep I plan to be around for as long as I can. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Oh sorastro, I love you! You always manage to do the exact videos I need when I need them :)
+Joshua Sliker Ha ha - thanks Joshua :)
I've watched a lot of your videos and you are an amazing painter, but I think these minis may be the most impressive to me. The OSL is incredible.
Thank you Samuel! I worked extra hard on these to try to do the minis justice :)
Bravo! Every bit as good as I'd hoped and dreamed. The second pass with darker shadow colors is astonishingly good. Easily your best vid man!
Thank you mate! I'm so glad you liked it :)
Thank you for finally doing KDM!!! I've wanted this for so long!
+Brad Haertzen Thanks Brad! I've been intending to paint it for so long but have been too scared :)
Your skills and talent are unequalled. Simply astounding work.
Thank you eric! I'm certainly no master painter but I'll accept the compliment, and I do take pride in my video work :)
This is absolutely the best intro for OSL that I’ve seen. Outstanding job! I’ve dabbled with OSL but your breakdown is the first I’ve seen where it actually got through my thick head. Not afraid to give it shot more on my models now.
Thanks a lot Jeffrey! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you found the video helpful :)

That glow from the lantern looks so amazing. Great job.
Thank you sir! Much appreciated :)
Wonderful work! Well done! Your videos have teached me amazing techniques and I'm just a board game fan with no experience in painting. Thank you for sharing. Counting days for episode 2!
Thanks a lot Afonso! I too am a gamer who likes to paint :)
Wow this is great. I'm going to try and follow this during the upcoming summer. Love to see more stuff from you related to Kingdom Death.
Thank you Cald! I will certainly be doing more KDM throughout the year :)
The directional spray technique worked very well. It created patches of light in areas that might not otherwise have got it. like the patch on her back foot. Very nice effect

Thank you seanagone! I'm glad you're excited for the series :)
You continue to amaze! You have also provided a bar for me to aspire to! Thank you for sharing your talent.
Honestly, what a wonderful blueprint and tutorial! Just wow!
Thanks a lot Dustin! I'm very glad you enjoyed it and I'm sure you'll do your survivors proud :)
Wow, that was very therapeutic to watch. I love your music too. Very atmospheric. Liked you on Spotify. Thanks for this. I've saved it to my painting bookmarks for future reference.

When is the White Lion coming??
Thank you! That was a level up! I had always problem with the lightning sources, but now, I think I am on the best way, because of your amazing tutorial! Thank you very much!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it useful :)
Your painting is beyond amazing!!! Cannot wait for the next video!!
Thank you Josh - you're too kind :)
great demonstration of wet blending for maximal contrast!
Thanks Frank! 😀
Ha! I was just going to start painting these models in the next few days, so your timing is impeccable (as is your painting, of course)!
Lol - thanks mate :)
OMG, finally KDM is here!! Thanks Sorastro!
+Edmund Lau You're welcome Edmund! :)
Loved the Diablo 2 style soundtrack for the video!
This is incredible, man. Congratulations!
You're a great inspiration!
Thanks so much Breno! Much appreciated :)
This is simply the greatest painting I've ever seen.
That's very kind - thank you Franziska :)
oh wow I love KDM, and the creepy ethereal music is on point. Sub more than earned!
+Kat Horton Thanks a lot Kat! I'm glad you like the music too :)
beautiful work, looking forward to seeing the monsters painted!
Thank you Typh! I'm excited to be working on the White Lion quite soon.. :)

I love how dynamic the poses are
I couldn't agree more :D
Yes! Awesome, I love that u choose to paint KDM Miniatures! Thank u so much!
Ha - thank you! I love that you love that I chose to paint some KDM :)
Great stuff! One can definitely look back and see how you've improved immensely and it's great to see someone experiment with different techniques. Please keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot John! I do like to try new things and challenge myself :)
This is mind blowing. Great work.
Thanks Jesse - you're too kind :)
I've just stumbled across your channel, and I'm so happy I have. Your tutorials are great!
Thanks John! I really appreciate that :)
Seriously fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much for making this. Lookig forward to trying this out. Hope you will be doing more KD:M in the future. Thx again
Thank you very much! Yes.. I'll be tackling the White Lion next in the series :) sorastro.com/2018/04/05/coming-soon-summer-2018/
AWESOME!! Really looking forward to that one :D

Thanks a lot for the kind words John! You're right - filming a paint job is a lot more challenging and stressful than simply sitting down to paint :)
Hell i love this minis, great job man. hope we see all minis from the game on your channel
+knuddeltrauma Thank you kindly! I'll certainly be doing more KDM in the future :)
As always, fantastically done and ever so inspiring.
Thank you Billy! :)

An extraordinary tutorial for us mere mortals of the brush. Well done sir. I am definitely subscribing (thats to the guy who posted this on reddit) .
Thank you Konstantinos! For this tutorial I mostly used a Rosemary and Co. Series 33 Size 2 brush, except for the initial wet blending where I was using a Windsor & Newton Series 7 Size 1. For future reference, I usually put those details in the video description :)
Sorastro thats awsome.
Please make more clips pf your magnificent work.
Love it 👏
Thank you Kay! I'll keep doing my best :)
Inspiring work as always! Please do the rest of the Kingdom Death minis!
Thank you! I will be working my way slowly but surely though the rest of the KDM minis :)
Perfect video and results. Thank you!
Can’t wait for the soundtrack
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the music :)
Simply beautiful work, and perfect video editing!!!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that :)
And i thought i was reasonable good on my painting channel.. man i wouldn't believed you that these were painted if you didn't post this tutorial. Subbed
Thank you sir! Much appreciated :)
these miniatures deserve a good paintjob. They look stunning even without the coats. Never played the game nor do i think i ever will, but looking forward to more from this series..
Holy crap!! You finally uploaded new content!
Ha ha.. I've actually got two more Star Wars Legion videos finished but can't share them until Lucasfilm Ltd approve them (and they've been somewhat busy lately!) :)
So, when's the white lion coming?
Amazing! Can't wait to see your take on the Phoenix!
Thanks Cal! :)
Insanely talented. I am inspired to attempt this technique!
Thank you David! Go for it :)
I don't play Kingdom Death, but this is still an extremely useful video for OSL painting, and painting in the KDM-style. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful :)
I'm more excited for this than any other series and I don't even own this game or minis. I just can't wait to see what you do with them and how you do it.
Thanks Dan - I really appreciate that :)
Amazing work as always, I'm excited to get started on my survivors.
Thanks Jon! You should be - they're magical figures to work with :)
Absolutely gorgeous!!
+Emiliano Fisanotti Thank you Emiliano! I'm glad you think so :)
As a novice painter, I’d already be happy just with the airbrush primers in place. To me that already looked amazing.
Thanks Johannes! It's true - even just a black prime and zenithal (or directional) highlights already vastly improves the look of the models :)
Sorastro's Painting thank you for replying! I’m looking at getting a spray gun with compressor on alixpress.com for around 40 bucks so I can try it out (firstly on some cheaper models). What size nozzle did you use?
No problem! My airbrush has a 0.3mm nozzle. I think anything between 0.2-0.5mm would be fine :)
Wow! Love the OSL. Looks so real.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the OSL :)
Another incredible breathstocking painting. I love it!
Thank you sir! :)
That's some perfect lightning. Color me impressed!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it 😀
Fantastic video. That OSL is so well done.
Thank you! It was just too tempting not to do :)
Great work and this music ❤️👌
Thank you so much! (I know know if you’re aware, but the music can be found on my last album: open.spotify.com/album/1sCRvOl9mclwED42jGULVn?si=pwaA9zONSiqIchwQsYdddw) 😀
Great work...
Its amazing as always...
In deep respect
+Markus Schmitz Thank you so much Markus! :)
another great work of painting, many congratulations and happy new year
Thank you friend! Happy New Year to you :)
