I'm autistic so longform videos really scratch my itch for wanting more details. Feel free to keep making more long form. I really love your rambling laid back style as it feels alot more approachable to me.
Jon, you have some of the best organic commentary while you paint. There are times where I think you've ran of ideas or comments to discuss, but you still manage to squeeze out more insightful comments about what went on in your head while painting, it is practically intoxicating. Love this video and your content.
Your excitement is infectious! Just seeing and hearing how happy you are just hobbying really lifts the spirit of my own hobbying :) Finally I might get around to painting my Bolt Action armies, I think this technique can work great with the right colors!
When I want to learn about materials, I watch Goobertown. When I want to up my skill, I watch Vince or Marco. When I just want to feel super excited about painting, I watch your videos. Good stuff
It's been a real pleasure to watch you go from being frightened to painting to absolutely loving it it's a beautiful Hobby and I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
This is exactly the painting video I was looking for. A showcase of the painting process that emphasizes the enjoyment of the painting experience above all else. And your minis look so good too! Huge respect!
You knocked this guy out of the park. The barnacles are so cool. I’m glad you made a video of the kitbashing process. Makes me want to finish a nurgle daemon prince with jet pack I started many moons ago

This has to be your best mate. Thank you for sharing your modeling and slap chopping as a born again painter, your journey is inspiring. Keep up with the good work.
Thanks to you I picked up painting again love the speed paints an contrast have finished several units for my ork army in one month which in the past I would of been lucky to get a few units done a year
To answer your question about video length: I was thinking about switching over to another video at about the 18 minute mark. But I am also cleaning mold lines. I kind of prefer the 20-30 minute videos that talk about the hobby more than teaching something like painting. I guess it depends on what we are doing when we click on it
Cheers for the feed back, Im always saying I prefer to watch 8-15 minute videos which is why mine are typically that long but I guess as I did a little kitbashing and making the base this just went on a bit longer lol 🙂
Hey man I just subscribed to your channel and I just wanted to say your painting looks amazing and your making me eager to pick up the brush. I'm a 20 year old that just broke his back so I'm on a long road of recovery, I passed out and fell ten feet of a deck and ya broke my back so your painting videos have been a great way to kinda forget the pain and to just injoy the hobby I'm in keep up the great painting.
I really liked to look of the brass right when you did your first few swipes of the dry brush after the dirty down. Now I'm curious what the DD verdigris would look like over just the drybrushed greyscale.
I, like you, initially hated the idea of painting miniatures. I play D&D, so I was buying WizKids pre-painted minis so I wouldn't have to paint. Unfortunately they are painted assembly line style in some foreign country (probably China), and therefore look as if they were painted by a six year old. Base coat, outside the lines, flat, terrible is how I would describe them. So I got 3D printers (didn't like the sculpts either), some hobby supplies, and started my painting journey. I love it too. Lets spread the joy! :) Your painting skills are improving rapidly.
all my orkies are different colours :3 it looks chaotic but also really natural and good ^^ i don't mind the lenght of the vid as i just put it on while painting etc, also if you like killteam you should try out warcry ^^
I’m definitely going to have to give this technique a try when I have a model with more detail. I’m still worried how it would look on all the flat panels of the space marines as I have some bad experiences with contrast paint on them
I love speedpaints and struggled to find a tutorial for spedpaint on Skragbad. This looks epic!!! Have you got a list you can share of the speedpaints used for this?
Excellent work mate, wasn’t a fan of long videos and waffle but I have to say this one was great! As it developed I got a ‘Davey Jones’ feel from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. When you put the barnacles on I was hoping for coral and seaweed. Bravo mate! More of the same! Plus, have you finished the blood bowl stuff?
If you want to level up your chop quality, give the model a zenithal with an airbrush using white ink instead of drybrushing - aka inkchop. The white to black gradients will be super smooth and painting over will look even better.
All of a sudden, the shark squig has a dark grey top. Is that literally just a darker grey slapped on or is there any fading done. Looks like a smooth transition
Add me to the list of people that you inspired to paint more. I've been making some progress on my pile of shame switching to slap chop for new models.

The speed paints are lookin wild dude. Might have to hop on that train💪🏼
Its a great train to be on toot toot lol 🙂

Thank you so much, I sometimes think I should script my videos but then I think nah and just waffle on lol 😊
Your excitement is infectious! Just seeing and hearing how happy you are just hobbying really lifts the spirit of my own hobbying :)
Finally I might get around to painting my Bolt Action armies, I think this technique can work great with the right colors!

I love how much you appreciate and love painting now since you discovered SlapChop

Thanks to you I picked up painting again love the speed paints an contrast have finished several units for my ork army in one month which in the past I would of been lucky to get a few units done a year
For cleaning up the models after snipping them off I use a set of needle files. They’re cheap and really nice to getting things perfect.
Cheers for the tip, I may look into getting some 🙂
That looks amazing! I love the coral and barnacles.. milliput was the name you're looking for.. keep it up!
I love this conversion you did a great job. Your journey has been so great. I can't wait to be able to hobby every day which is getting closer
Cheers, I wish you well on your journey and all the fun it brings 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist we just need to find the right style to make the painting enjoyable again
sweet glad you did this my friend. keep up the great work
Love the shark scheme
Aaarrrggghhhhh or should that be Waaagh 🙂

Sweet paint job
Thank you so much 🙂
Great video, thanks.
Cheers 🙂
This came out bloody brilliant man!
Thank you so much, I am well pleased with it 🙂
The blue skin went really nice!!
I prefer this length!
Oh the barnacles look nice after base and drybrush
My god, your skills are really developing and it certainly shows in this video
I like the longer vids, then again I like all your vids:)
What speedpaint did you use for the tentacles and the irritated skin around the mechanical bits?
I really liked to look of the brass right when you did your first few swipes of the dry brush after the dirty down. Now I'm curious what the DD verdigris would look like over just the drybrushed greyscale.

I would love to see you paint up a Tyranid, since the new 10th edition is right around the corner.

More of the same!

I may try that soon as I have just got an airbrush 🙂
@@mintgreenmankey Ya no. Works just fine.
All of a sudden, the shark squig has a dark grey top. Is that literally just a darker grey slapped on or is there any fading done. Looks like a smooth transition
Ahoy! Land lubbers, Squig the planks well and kraken on with your fellow sprue-heads!
Haha, awesome 🙂
Where can I get that texture pallette? Also have you tried Vallejo xpress colors?
I made the texture palette, there is a video of it from a few days ago, I havent tried xpress colours but would if they send me some lol 🙂
Long videos are nice. No sweat
Long video for me is awesome
Haha cool, glad I didnt send you to sleep 🙂
@@MiniatureHobbyist Your videos are always great fun to watch especially with the enthusiasm you have for the hobby Jon
@@geekfreak69 thats much appreciated 🙂
Add me to the list of people that you inspired to paint more. I've been making some progress on my pile of shame switching to slap chop for new models.
Hey thats awesome to hear, have fun with it all 🙂
Great video, for me 18 - 25min is ideal.
Paint scheme is different but this is basically a copy of Pete the Wargamers.
