This is SUCH a creative (and previously unapproached) way to deal with this topic as there were basically only 2 options until now. Freehand or Waterslide (which can be a pain if you try to make them yourself) - the Results look SO good. I acutally like seeing the DPI-Dotting from the prints - it gives the images the feeling as if they were painted on some "rougher" fabric which makes absolute sense for Banners and totally works towars that realistic look instead against it.
Thanks so much! Super glad you enjoyed the video. I was digging the look of the dots also, and glad it kinda brings something extra to the table
agreed completely - you can even apply weave pattern watermark to the image too and this enhances this effect.
Back years ago (2005ish), back when metal miniatures were a thing and banners were just poles with cross-beams at the top, I just found a bunch of banners online, printed them on paper, got them to wrinkle with a little bit of water, and gave them a few coats of rattle can Krylon clear paint.
this video slaps!!! super interesting, very unique, and gets right to the point.
thanks so much! super appreciate it, I'm a big fan of your videos
The one on the plastic model turned out the best, which is the complete opposite of what I would've expected. The printer dots ended up looking exactly like fabric. It's absolutely perfect.
yeah I was kinda nervous leading up to that one, glad you like it, thanks!
Yet another lightbulb moment as I now know how I'm going to FINALLY finish my titan the way I always saw it in my mind! This will work on those big armour plates. Thank you for another great enabling video.
This is excellent! Never thought something like this would work so well. Great tutorial!
Thanks! glad you found it useful
That last one looks INSANE. I really dig the texture of the print, it totally looks like the fibers of the cloth. The accidental discovery of the glueing pen is also great, I think I might get one if only to get rid of seam lines. Subscribed!
Right? I struggle to paint texture that passes as cloth. This technique does it so well for the picture at the least
really glad you’re digging the textures, appreciate the view + sub!
Just get a bottle of tamiya extra thin, it's the gold standard for gluing models
I actually use their airbrush cleaner, pretty much the same formula but cheaper and in a bigger bottle. This pen tho seems interesting to me for a more precise aplication. I hate when my "plastic glue" gets where I don't want it and ends up melting some details, so for things like seams looks ideal!@@Slouworker
WOW!! This was super original and really neat dude. Nice idea, you can boost the aesthetics of an army big time with this type of technique.
thank you! yeah I really like how approachable it is and how anyone could make a cool banner with it
This is amazingly cool. I love it when people bring tried and true methods to new mediums.
thanks for watching! super glad I could show something new + weird
This is genius! I am really impressed with how it turned out, especially on the beastman banner. Fantastic job!
The Mod Podge brand has a specific image transfer medium as well. Feel like I've seen some other wargaming TH-camrs show it off once or twice. Might be another method worth checking out. Really cool video. Thanks!
You can make posudo mod podge with white glue and water
oh very cool, I’ll have to look into that. thanks for the video + tip!
Just wanted to suggest this :D
I think it has Acrylic resin in it as well.@@NameIsDoc
I love these unconventional methods that pop up from time to time like this or edge highlighting with oil colored pencils. Keep it up 👍
So glad the algorithm saw it fit to show me this video and your channel. Super cool technique, instant subscribe. Looking forward to more!
thanks so much! really glad you enjoyed
These look incredible. I've always wanted my 40k back banners to be these highly ornate and intricate designs but never had the raw free-handing skill to pull it off. Thank you for sharing this!
thank you! and ya that's kind of the perfect situation I was imagining for this technique … just that over the top decorative 40k vibe
Only a minute in and please make more videos about art school techniques applied to minipainting ❤😂 this is awesome
This is amazing. I had no idea this was even possible. Thanks for this great tutorial!
This kind of thing really brings the hobby forward, awesome work.
dang, thank you!
I tried all of rhose methods, some working better then others depending on you base materiaal.
Lately I started using decal printing with the "Bare Metal" brand decal paper.
Not printing a whole A4 at once but only printing a tiny picture on a regular A4, then cutting a piece if decal sheet a bit larger and sticking it over the print I just made with dome painters tape.
Re-insert the A4 with the decal paper on it in the printer, and reprint your decal, this time exactly on the tiny piece of decal sheet
Try using a blow dryer or a heat gun on low to bend the styrene plastic. It worked great for a 3D print run I did. If you spray matte varnish over the transferred image before painting touch ups it will make the paper residue clear. Fantastic use for this transfer technique
Amazing! love the methodical description Zanzi!
Very creative and novel approach to this! Nice job.
Excellent educational material, while looking for some historical decals for the transom of my Czech Hussites, I started to think that maybe I would just print the patterns on a piece of paper and just stick them on, but your technique showed that it can be done better and achieve an amazing result.😊
super glad you enjoyed!
This works out perfectly, I was just trying to figure out how to do the "tabard" banner for a chaos knight!
That looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
fantastic work. for cleaner projects in the past I did vector art from a laser jet on white cardstock rather than paper. it's slightly thicker so it can hold those gentle curves that a marine or Eldar banner would have. The laser ink lines form just enough of a 3d line that it can assist with keeping paint within the lines, but this is really more for those mid 90s style cartoony banner
I love your way of doing the very painterly style banners, and I expect I'll be using this on my Old World project
Fantastic, will definitely try this out. Thanks!
Wow that's cool!
This is about the nerdy toy soldier version of Nobel prize worthy!
Been doing this hobby for close to 30 years and I've never seen a method this simple for making topnotch uniform banners/shields/cloaks. And it's pretty much free and can be done with pretty much any digital imagery.
oh wow! this is THE technique I needed for a sistene chapel-style Slaanesh-corrupted chaos knight. thank you!!
Super novel approach that really leans into the hobby side of things rather than just buying a pre packaged product that does it for you.
appreciate you saying so, thanks for watching
Looks really good, reminds me of the magazine collages. Subbed, enjoying your videos!
yeah! that’s how it was introduced to me, a way to make collage art
Thank you so much for sharing this! I thought about this before but only used it to transfer prints to wood, never to a mini. Now I finally have a chance to make an awesome banner for my MESBG Gamling. Thank you again!
glad you enjoyed!
Instant sub for the mention of Photopea! I'm always stoked when people show that program love, as it's a lifesaver for any graphic design work!
Also, you have a really pleasant and relaxed personality!
thank you! glad you're enjoying the videos
Definitely worth testing, thx for the vid
What an excellent result!
This is SO incredible! Thank you for sharing this.
thanks so much! happy to share, glad you liked it
This is amazing!! And it blows me away! This is a breakthrough!!!
thank you! appreciate the view
This is a great idea! Thank you!
glad you think so!
This is such a cool idea
This is amazing!
well, ty for this amazing approach! ill be using this on my bloodletters
thanks for watching!
If you can use the program to mirror your smart objects you can get both sides of the banner with the same art with the same tattered edges. Also I think you can get printable water slide transfer paper.
Printable waterslide transfers work great and have options for laser jet and ink jet printers
Yeah print at home waterslide transfers can work really well
yeah that would be cool!
That's such a great idea! Gonna use that one for knight's armor panels!
thanks! I think that’s a great use case for this
Thank you for your contribution!
thank you for watching!
Really smart and useful ! It's can really help a lot of people, well done !
Absolutely phenomenal!
appreciate it!
OK, that's just superb! I will definitely be trying this!
awesome, thanks!
Amazing tutorial! I think I'll try and use it on my upcoming HH Blood Angel project for the flat panels on dreadnoughts, drop pods and tanks.
thank you! that sounds rad, glad you enjoyed
This is amazing! Fantastic results :)
thanks for saying so!
wtf dude this is aweseom! Your a god damned genius. Never seen or heard about this before but it looks amazing! Really good work my man ^^
appreciate it!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for this nice and well explain tutorial!
glad it was helpful! thanks for the view
Really really amazing tutorial, I will come back after trying!
thank you!
Thanks. I will have to give it a try at some point. I have not yet attempted any of my own banners.
seems like a decent place to start!
Wow wow wow. Thanks dude. Excellent video
for sure! thanks for watching
Great tip! I am going to try this for tattoos
glad you enjoyed! I'd be curious to know how something at that smaller scale would turn out
Super cool idea!
thank you!
Really great technique, thanks for sharing and I will absolutely try this!
thanks for saying so! hope it goes well
Very cool technique, saving this video. Thanks!
glad you liked it!
Awesome. SUPER COOL. Thank you.
so glad you liked it!
I had no idea this was even possible, super cool!
thanks!
Totally boss idea, can't wait to try this
glad you liked the video!
Matt medium is so useful.. I bought it ages ago just as a glue for collage. Recently I found its a great way to create washes(with flow aid),A more practical fixative than gloss varnish. and now I find It can do image transfer. My Art store is moving soon and had 40% off all liquitex mediums last week.. so of course the shelves were empty.
Yeah I just keep buying bigger containers whenever I need a new one. I end up using it way more than I'd think haha
This is one of the most genius things I’ve ever seen
thank you!
@@Zanzibrush no no, Thank You!!
yes! awesome, thanks so much!
for sure, glad you enjoyed!
Earned my sub man, this is awesome. Well done.
thanks so much!
This has frigging CHANGED my life lol
hahah hell ya, thanks for the view!
i have been wanting to do this on my 3d models but wasent sure how to go about it. this was very helpfull, thanks!
glad I could help! thanks for watching
Pretty cool. I wonder if they would transfer to metal minis. I have some TAGs in infinity that I wanted to put ww2 style nose art pinups on to add sone individuality. Was trying to figure out how to go about it and I think this might be worth a try
I think it would totally work as long as there’s a light color as a base, then I’d just do the same process in the video but take your time!
Engagement. You deserve it!
super appreciate it!
Very very cool! I’m going to try this immediately! Cheers!
Very cool technique!
For non sculpted banners: even easier than this is just to print on paper with either a laser or inkjet - then apply a couple of layers of mat varnish to both sides of the paper to give it substance. You can then paint on it with acrylic just fine to blend the image to the rest of the banner - mixing printed and freehand, been using this technique for 25 years or so.. works a charm! You can even get the authentic free hand look by printing out a paint by numbers outline.
Sadly what you cant do with this is transfer to solid plastic banners - for that, this is an amazing technique - Top job man.
Can you explain the science as to why it has to be laser and not inkjet?
EDIT: Also you can buy Tshirt transfer printer sheets, to put printed transfers on to tshirts. Ive had success with these on non mini art projects, never tried them on minis as frankly Im old and banners were not sculpted back in the day so I never needed to use transfer techniques. might be worth looking into.
There's a good way to get a much cleaner result that's used in a whole lot of various hobbies. People like transferring things to wood plaques and glass and the like. Anyways, here's what you want to try -
Get some of those sheets of blank mailing labels for your printer.
Peel all the labels and stuff off of it. You don't want those.
Save the shiny backing paper. This is the part you want.
Print your design onto the shiny side of the backing paper.
Transfer to surface with acryl medium/mod podge/whatever as in this video.
Let dry.
The paper should peel right off of the design with ease.
A couple of notes -
Don't forget to mirror your print.
Printer settings for glossy photos are generally suggested. You'll probably have to play around to get the best results.
The print will be *very* delicate. It will really want come off that paper backing. That's kind of the point.
Don't forget that your printer almost certainly does not put any white pigment down. You'll want to apply your print to a white, or at least light, background for best results.
Anyways, you can find a million videos of people doing this with just a quick search.
Oh ya, that sounds really cool I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
The marker at the start is best used, not as an adhesive, but as an "eraser" for mold lines across sensitive areas, like hair, on polystyrene models.
That's really cool!
Thank you!
Awesome tips! 😀
thank you!
This is absolutely amazing! Will definitely be trying this! Subscribed!
"Turn into Richard Grey" lol! I'm former art school too and he's my favourite as well haha
haha ya he's the best! glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching.
Shits, that's some hot stuff. I'll use that for 40k chapter decals for sure.
Great, thanks! I have a 1997 Burger King Frankenstein's Monster I am making into a figure, and I have a Tombstone from Joanne's Halloween things, but it has no marking on front which looks silly, so I have been trying things and looking for ways to get text transferred to it without have to freehand it. I will give this a go! Cheers!
oh that sounds super cool
This is way better than what I do currently which is converting an image from raster to vector then embossing it unto a 3D model then 3D printing it and then painting the banner. Way faster and more variety without being restricted to my crappy painting skills
that sounds pretty awesome too though man!
@@Zanzibrush with my painting skills, your method is way better than
That was dope bro.
thanks man
You are a genius dude.
well I dunno about THAT but thank you!
Have to try it out now ! :)
What a great idea! Also what was that miniature you were glueing together?
thanks! it’s one of the new “monsta killa” kruleboys for warcry
Great idea
Gotta give this a catchy name like slaphotochop
Darn it, I thought "matte medium image transfer" really rolled off the tongue … slaphotochop is pretty good though hahah
This is such a cool trick!
glad you enjoyed!
I never knew this was possible - Thanks!
for sure! thanks for watching
Amazing tutorial! Do you have any pointers for working on soda can tin for fabric? I'm currently working on crafting a greatcoat for a pirate captain and I thought of using this material ^^
For something like a greatcoat I'd probably use more typical sculpting materials like greenstuff or milliput as it would be too hard to get fine folds in something like aluminum and potentially a little dangerous. If you don't wanna sculpt maybe just a bit of thin cloth would be better?
Never seen this before. Neat!
glad I could show you!
Glad I bought that matte medium now haha
hahah love when it works out like that
Very cool!
thanks!
wow it looks great, it's unbelievable, i like it 😍😍😍
thank you!
Amazing dude! I've never seen this before.
so glad I could show something new!
Great idea!!! Do you think it would work on a banner made from aluminium? I've seen scale modellers use aluminium for their banners as it ripples and folds more naturally. But they used freehand .
ya definitely, if you check out the examples at the end all the ones with purple on them are aluminum. Just be careful rubbing off the paper as there might be sharp edges!
I made someting simpler once. I just printed an image, cut t out and glued it onto the banner. I made some tests before. PVA glue made the colors dissolve but with Lahmian Medium it worked. Maybe this ist the same stuff that he mentiones as matte medium?
fantastic!
thanks!
thanks for this video. Banners looking awesome and i think this will level up some "Old World" Armys =P this trick should go viral
It would be much simpler to print this image on decal paper.
I believe you should try to do it.
Anyway, great and informative video, thanks!
Genius
Great job! Keep it up and you'll go far with that voice!
haha thanks! glad it's finally useful
This is great! Excellent tutorial.
Hopefully my work has a laser printer 🤞
thanks! fingers crossed!
There it is, our lord and saviour teaching us how to make banners for Tabletop!
