We have a Kickstarter running! The most GORGEOUS Display Cabinets you've ever seen: www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
What did you think of the video, do you want to see a Lord of Change painted, do you have suggestions for our next video tutorial?
Please let us know any questions, about the tutorial, or the Kickstarter :)
I’ve always been intimidated by blending but this dry brushing technique makes it look super easy.
This is exactly why we did this video! Give it a go, my man, you may surprise yourself! :)
Yes... Lord of change series.
I remember washing and dry brushing my first death wing terminator in the 90s... What a painting revolution that was.
You make this look so easy! Thank you for sharing your technique!
Give it a go, you'd be surprised :)
Yeah, that thumbnail alone makes this video a winner. (-:
expelliarmus!
Dude, that paint job is pretty good for 10-15 min worth of work! I have to say, I've had your dry brushes since Adepticon and while I didn't get to sit down with you for a demo, these videos really help us figure out all the fun ways to use these amazing dry brushes (anyone who says make up brushes are just as good has never used an Artis Opus dry brush, just sayin) I love my set, now I just need to get my texture pallet and i'll be set lol
Thanks for the kind words. My man 🥰. We're going to be pumping out a lot more like this in the near future, don't you worry!
Your videos are great, you have helped me out so much, truly grateful.
Our pleasure, Lee, we'll keep making if you keep watching :)
The only thing that impresses me more than the overall result, is Byron’s ability to open and close GW pots with one left thumb without it sticking/sloshing.
Haaaa! There's a few awful examples of it going wrong on other videos 😞
@@ArtisOpus Whelp…😂☹️😂
Thanks for making these intimidating models look a bit less scary. Makes these kinds of paint jobs feel achievable.
they are, but everything worth doing will take time.
You're most welcome, buddy! That's exactly why we did it, people are often surprised in person, and with a bit of effort you can share even the best tricks online, too :)
Or at least thought/effort!
With the Old World out, I would love to see some Empire examples (Especially Altdorf & Reikland colours) ;-)
They are also very bright and colourful...
I'd be very interested in a lord of change series. My favorite one so far was your gargant skin. I painted a army using the techniques and its won 3 local awards for painting
You're a wizard, Byron!
:D
This is a beautiful job! Thanks for incorporating all the various techniques together. I won't be working on a Lord of Change anytime soon (probably never, foul Chaos filth!) but I can already imagine other future projects where this video will come in handy.
Haaa, it works beautifully for phoenix, and other 'good' birdies :)
I love his sweaters.
Winter edition videos, they're all away now in place of vests and hayfever medicine.. plus difficulties blending 😅
Simple yet ultimately effective as always. Thanks for the continued tips for improving our painting!
You're most welcome, my man!
You're awesome Byron! Thanks for all your help 😁
Really clear demonstration. Thank you.
Our pleasure, my dude!
You're a legend - it works. Just painting up an old metal WFB griffon - looks the business! Thank you!
Yes, Dave! Our pleasure :)
Beautiful work, cant wait for the next tutorial 🙂
Thanks buddy, not long to wait! :)
Awesome work for a beautiful result thanks
Wow ! Looks awesome.
Thanks, my man!
Wow I’ve never been brave enough to try blending but watching this I think I’ll out your brush sets to use when I come across a blend job I need to do. Brilliant tutorial as usual 👍👍👍
Thanks buddy, this is wonderful, exactly why we made the video... I think you may surprise yourself!
Great guide and great brushes. Going to try that.
Thanks, my man! 🥰
Been learning a lot about blending and dry brushing definitely helped on my shrekwolf from k47 . Stippling up made them look amazing.
Love to see u finish out the LoC. Great vid as always
Thanks, dude, enough requests/interest and we'll definitely give it a go!
You make that look so easy; I'm sure it would go differently for me in real life but you've inspired me to give it a try! Interesting idea to do all the highlights with a drybrush, and then go back with a wash. Thanks for posting!
You're most welcome, dude :).
I think you will surprise yourself, just give it a go!
Awesome job Byron 😍
I'd love to come along to a live demo if you do another one at the Sheffield shop. Things like knowing how damp to have your pad and how much paint to have on the brush are difficult to get across in a video but easy in real life
You are right, we are going to do some more educational videos on this stuff in the future to help people out as much as possible :)
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for this. I am intrigued what you think of the Shifter paints or washes for feathers. I know they are two completely different processes but I would love to see you review Shifter paints, you could show some amazing effects with them.
Absolutely love it ❤❤❤
Thanks, buddy!
What a gorgeous wing! A Lord a Change-series would be absolutely awesome!
I have one assembled 👀👀👀
@Artis Opus I will postpone mine a bit. I am genuinely torn on how to approach it. I have been painting for a year and haven't really zeroed in on how to approach my project. I really want to dry brush ( I love the technique and the result it can potentially yield), but I have found myself pressed for time and have been falling back on contrast paints primarily. But with my Project Tzeentch, I have decided to take the time and develop the skill! Thank you for the effort you put into making the hobby approachable 🤩
Dude, love your videos, this one was excellent. Just want to say that I can see you are using an autocue, all good, work with them myself. However get one that fixes to the front of your camera, they sit under it and mirror infront of the lense so you are looking direct into the camera rather than just above. Keep up the good work.
you are the one channel that seems to be doing something different, amazing work!
Very kind words, my man! We'll keep making if you keep watching, and we're always open to suggestions 🙂. Thanks!
Super coool ❤
Protip: Highlight the pink feathers with a very bright blue drybrush against the feather edges (not the tips) and highlight the blue feathers with a very bright pink in the same way.
You'll achieve an effect like the feathers are changing colour.
thank you good vid
i would love a full video on the lord of change! Just like the great unclean one which was great,
Noted, I think this will become a thing if a few more people say yes, seems to have some support behind it!
Would love to see a Lord of Change video tutorial!
If enough people are down, we'll make it so!
Nicely done. I need to use my Ninjon Artis Opus drybrush brushes more.👍👍
Absolutely! If you have any questions just let us know, we're here to help :)
@@ArtisOpus Thanks very much.👍👍
I have to admit that you, sir, are my personal Messiah of Drybrushing.
Before watching you go, I was thinking that drybrushing is some nice technique for a dusty finish for machines, robots, terrain. You have shown me myriads of other applications, most of which are leading to better results in shorter time than the “normal” techniques.
Thank you, for opening a whole new world of possibilities.
I’d really love to see you basecoat with stipple and drybrush some two-colour 28mm mini, e.g Sororitas.
You Sir, are a Gent! Thanks for the kind words
@@ArtisOpus Exactly that - classic Martyred Lady is difficult enough and cool (and matches my interest, lol). Order of the Sacred Rose (with white + red) would be even slightly more challenging (as it's relatively easy to remove the red from the black, but removing the red from the white is a whole different story). But, being 100% honest, techniques and approach (order of operation) are the important part. Colours can be easily replaced.
Lovely end result. More like this (:
Only thing I'd change is the dark blue. The other colours makes it "invisible'ish".
Can't argue with you there... Maybe I should have gone 50/50 with my highlight blue...
Fantastic blend here!
Would love to see your take on one of the Stormcast dragons...
I just screwed up filming one 😥. This would be out if experiments had gone to plan, I will definitely return to it, though, it's a perfectly textured mini!
@@ArtisOpus no pressure but I’m now waiting on you to upload this so I can buy and paint one! 😂 I hope you pick an interesting colour scheme. Good stuff man
Please do the rest of Kairos
Noted, requests are increasing! :)
Little late to this video, excellent work as always Byron.
I’m curious what steps you’d suggest for transitioning from a turquoise like Thousand Sons or Sotek to end with a similar pink/white. I’m just about to start a Frostheart Phoenix and it’s a bit daunting.
Hey buddy, pretty sure I can help you out here, it's quite simple, pick the colour you want, then go a little lighter (as the wash will darken and deepen it a little), I'd ust terradon turquoise made into a wash or something.
Our recent dragon video may make good additional watching, you'd be using that technique, but over colours instead of black and white.
Make sure you thin your washes enough, the turquoise ones are strong, unless you're using aethermatic blue.
A great bit of blending. It's missing some torquoise though, it is Tzeentch, after all.
I can't argue with this! I think this is the 'Kairos' scheme, but the other one does have turquoise in it :)
This is amazing! Would you say there some surfaces (e.g. feathers like in this instance) over others where drybrush-blending works better than wet-blending?
Absolutely, dude, repeated texture is the thing to look out for, the mawcrusher was great for it, too :)
Yes would love a lord of change tutorial, Karios version would be boss
Noted! Staff of change will be next, a few more tutorials and we'll know how to paint the entire thing! :)
@@ArtisOpus would love a tutorial on flamers of Tzeentch
What kind of dry brush pad is this? Love it and the great technique you teach!
Hey buddy :). It's our new XXL which I redesigned: store.artis-opus.com/products/xxl-texture-palette-a3-brand-new-product-design
We do them in different sizes, that's the largest
Beautiful colours! And super nice technique. How would it look after a matte varnish?
And please, paint the whole Lord of Change!
Solid, actually, and if you're doing metallics that could really allow them to pop if you painted them after the varnish (as they're all over the wings - the little 'charm' things).
Thanks! this sounds cool. I currently only have a Keeper of Secrets, but plan to buy all the other greater demons...but this one looks the scariest to paint.
I love this channel to bits, but that's some balls, to ask that money for some small cabinets.... 🤣
Thanks man! Wait until you see them with my minis in, they're properly special in person.
Hand-crafted furniture, made in-house, by fully-trained, full-time staff isn't the same as most of the readily available bulk options on the market, but we didn't go out there to design something that already existed.
These are designed to elevate your minis, and any room they're placed in, in a way you can be proud with, if you have a chance to see them IRL, I'm sure you'll understand, they make you want to touch them, and my miniatures have never looked so good (plus are dust-free!).
Awesome video and paint job. Any tips for people (myself) intimidated to paint a model they spent a lot of money?
Hey dude, of course!
#1 - You can always strip it, and start again - remember this!
#2 - Make a plan - pick a reference, an image, a tutorial, etc
#3 - Keep it simple, but don't be afraid to try one new technique per mode
#4 - If you are trying a new technique *try it fully!* copy it exactly from your reference, don't change, use the same products where possible, etc. It gives you the best chances of a successful first attempt.
#5 - HAVE FUN! Remember that learning from mistakes is the BEST BIT (seriously, it's where you learn the most for next time)!
That's it :)
@@ArtisOpus Thanks for the tips and replying 👍🏽
Would i be able to use speedpaints instead of contrast to achieve the same effect? I know that the first set had reactivation but ive seen videos where mixing medium with the speedpaints allowed for better control
Yup, they're a contrast copy, as are all of the variants that appeared after them - everyone's aiming for similar properties and processes, so you'd be fine :)
Question its a common saying among most painters that you DO NOT use your expensive sable hair brushes to paint with metal paints.
Doing that is a surefire way to ruin your brushes.
So most people just use cheap synthetic brushes for that.
My question is do your drybrush brushes work well with metalics or will they be just as quickly ruined as most brushes will with metallic?
I'm actually going to disagree with your sources on the first one, it's not a black and white discussion, and with due care you can actually use sables for metallics (they are the best brushes, they give the best results).
They are heavier in terms of wear, but so are base paints, washes, inks, contrast, heavy coverage formations, high matte mediums, and high pigment loads (everything that isn't a traditional 'layer').
The approach I take is to 'retire' my sables a little earlier than normal, and use them for these heavier tasks, not when they're 3 years old and way-past usable, but while they've still got life in them. I continue to clean, and care for them, and they last a surprisingly long time.
Sable is the most durable, as well as the highest quality, it's one of the traits that allows such a high raw material cost.
What damages brushes is the capillary action of your water taking the pigment towards the metal ferrule, this isn't necessary in drybrushing (we dampen, not saturate!). So it's not nearly the worry it is with normal painting, you won't ever catch me soaking my brushes, apart from a deep clean every 3-6months, and even then I take real care to clean the brushes damp, rather than wet, as much as possible, before soaking for the final clean.
Numerous brushes used on this channel are years old, and have had a heavy life, metallics and not.
You do still have to worry about contamination though, that's the main reason for keeping drybrushes separate :) Any questions let us know!
What is the jar on the top right?
Hey Ian, it's our 'Dampening Pad' - A key part of the technique, and the quality of the end result that we aim for (it keeps thing smooth, and ensures a long life-expectancy of brushes!).
Series D (Including Dampening-Pad): store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing

Any questions - please let us know! In another comment ideally, not a reply, TH-cam isn't helpful for notifications.
It's very hard to get your brushes in Canada. Any suggestion?
Hey buddy :). We have a few stockists, including long time supporter 'Lords of War Games & Hobbies' - Look them up, please let us know how it goes!
In another comment... TH-cam is awful for ongoing notifications
@@ArtisOpus 'Lords of War Games & Hobbies' 's shipping rate is too high. I find another one Fenrisworkshop but they don't have stock on some of your items.
The mat your rubbing your brush on, what is that ? and can i buy it from you?
Hey dude :) Of course! store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing
It's our texture palette, it's specifically designed to work perfectly to test and clean your brushes as you go, it's an incredible tool!
@@ArtisOpus Excellent tool so much better than using paper towel, it keeps a more even colour and moisture on the brush and makes it easier to work the colour into the brush. I wouldn't be without my dry palette now.
@@nightlurker
💫💫💫💫💫
:) Magicc!
Random Question: Do you clean your texture palette? If so, what do you do to achieve that?
Hey dude, I don't! I just prime, and go again! Sometimes before painting I'll quickly wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth (to remove dust) but otherwise cleaning isn't necessary - just like a traditional artist's palette :)
@@ArtisOpus good to know! I just picked up one of the small ones but haven’t used it yet. Do you think the priming is needed?
wish i had sexy cabinet money but I hope they go well for you!
Thanks, my man! We'll take your support whenever you can provide it, they will be fully supported as a product line in the future :)
@@ArtisOpus Nice! I'll keep that in mind
Love this but it's not easy to blend on smaller models
Use a smaller brush! Exactly the same technique, but just slow down a little, you'd be surprised. We are using a great big one here, and going very fast!
You can also use the dampening pad to introduce more moisture (transparency), which helps a lot when trying to be subtle.
@@ArtisOpus will try it thank you very much
Why buy a model this pricey and then half ass it with a 15min drybrush+wash? Dont get this mindset. Still cool technique there.
Completely disagree here, dude
1.) How is this half-assed? The technique we used, we did to a very high standard, it happens to be quick (wet blending, and stippling tend to be) but it's a good one!
2.) You could take it further, and just use this as a fancy basecoat- it's just a technique
3.) Even using this style of technique you're still going to spend 1hour on the wings alone, before doing metal bits, etc - mini probably sits at 5hours total (I guess) including this, it's not crazy quick
4.) It's a perfect part for demonstrating this technique, this channel is primarily here to help people learn, and this is a brilliant technique for those intimidated by this type of mini!
I'm more concerned with getting people to push themselves more, and pick up a big model, and do something they surprise themselves with, and are proud of, that's an important part of why we do the channel.
I do get your points though, we're going to be tackling a LOC on the channel at some point, first we're covering each aspect with a tutorial, then we'll tie it all together - here we may bring out some more fancy painting :)
What would you add to this model, as the next steps?
