I like both of these techniques - and even though Metallics are often considered a "beginner"-technique, it can be just as complicated as NMM. I like both for their different application possilibilites, always have a big arsenal for each situation! Which one do you like better?
Algorithm please bless this man and his great content.
yes... just a useless comment to please the strange gods of algorithm
Amen
I'll add one here as well. I'm learning so so much from his videos!
ill quad that!
I like the analysis and comparison between the styles. The side-by-side approach helps focus on the technique and results, rather than the figures and the specific minute details. I think there's potential for a series of side-by-side discussions/explorations of colour palettes, OSL, sketch-style, oil/acrylic washes... You could call it 'Dual Wielding' :-)
Subbed.
I prefer the TMM model. Starting with steel and washing and glazing to make bronze opened a whole new conceptual landscape for me.
NMM Looks so easy when you watch it, just a couple thin layers getting smaller, brightened up in the middle...somehow mine looks like a sword made of zebra skin..Thanks for the great tutorial, I like the show of varied brush techniques.
From mini to mini I get to see, I realise that I’m not a fan of NMM at all. Beautiful minis both, but TMM is my favourite.
NMM can be great but I don't think this exact mini/theme is the one to show it off.
@@EcopiuM I really appreciate and respect the skill, the mastery of the technique, but it does nothing for me aesthetically 4 out of 5 times. Even a passably good TMM on the other hand is already cool. But that is of course my subjective view.
I agree, I think NMM is overhyped. It looks great from the one angle, sure, but from multiple angles, I find that TMM looks better.
@@docremington1589 Yes I agree with you. NMM is currently the "in" thing to do but knowing WHEN to use it is the important thing. Most people just slap it wherever once they learn how to do it. Which is fine if they personally like it but yeah.
I agree, NMM looks better in photos but when you look at the models in real life 3D TMM looks much better, sometimes NMM just looks strange as it doesn’t trick your eyes the same way it does in 2d photos
I'm hugely impressed by the skill involved in painting NMM's, but actual metallic paints look better.
NMM definitely looks more deliberate, but I still prefer the overall look of TMM. Great video!
I think where NMM really shines is in display pieces designed to be viewed from a specific angle. Here it can look amazing, double so when you understand the time and skill involved in doing it well.
For minis designed to be viewed from multiple angles, e.g. tabletop minis, NMM can look odd since at certain angles the reflections won't make sense. You can round this somewhat using the four light sources technique that Darren Latham describes in his NMM article, but it's not perfect.
TMM on the other hand won't produce as striking results (in my opinion at least), but the reflections obviously change depending on the viewing angle so it'll look decent regardless of angle.
The TMM is good, but just looking at the NMM figure brings me actual real life joy. It's so gorgeous. I freakin' love this hobby. Thanks for the great content Trovarion!
Ow and NMM is totally it for me,between these two,but both are awesome!
I agree with the fact that NMM is more fun to paint and it is so rewarding when you manage to pull it off. But especially on Warhammer minis I sometimes prefer the TMM because I like a grittier look. It creates a diffrent atmosphere and tells a diffrent story.
Agree
Really depends. I am a below average painter. The moment I pick up metallics, my results look infinitely better. I would never try NMM because I lack the skill and patience to achieve that. So especially for beginners, metallics make painting a lot easier.
This really makes me look differently at TMM paints, thanks again!😸
Blessed be the creator of this goodness
Thats a really fun idea. Its great to see the two techniques side by side.
omfg, new video already, glad to see you again
This is pure gold content, thank you mate.
Really love NMM. Also love Rackham confrontation minis! More people need to know about them
Hey Algorithm, this video is great and you should promote it!
Brilliant video!
I like this format a lot. Nice job!
Thank you for the video, top quality as always!
Fantastic start to your new career! 👏 I enjoyed your analysis and can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
Original video! awesome skills as always! I saw your last vod,and hit that Bell, gonna help as much as i can!
Thanks. Really enjoyed. Excited to see lots more content from you.
More amazing content, information packed and concise. looking forward to the more frequent uploads of your masterful knowledge. 🤙
So interesting! Love the comparison, love watching you paint, love marvelling at how good it looks afterwards 😁
Nice comparison. I am also glad for your approach to give both techniques their place in miniature painting
I really like the in-depth explanation of how you use the colors!
Even though the goal of the video is to compare NMM and TMM I found it to be a very clear and quick tutorial for each, love it!
sure, it was meant as both of that :) comparison and quick tutorial.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Great and super helpful video!!
As always! I like the new format and editing
Great Kris looking forward to more cheers appreciate the work you do for the community 👍👍
I really liked the comparison! Great idea!
The direct comparison in one video is a great take! Go on like this good man!
Uncle Trov! Loving the new format and really happy you go full in into it! This kind of comparisons are marvelous! Thank you so much!
Loved this vid. I love the TMM stuff you did. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next vid.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it.
Perfect video, just like that.
Hope we can see more videos like this in this new “season”, keep it up!
Well done - excellent explanation & tutorial
Very beautiful work! Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I enjoy all the hard work you put into it. Makes me want to try that much harder for myself to get better.
Absolutely crushed it with this one. Great work and thanks for sharing.
I know it wasn't the subject of this video, but let me just point out how beautiful your fallen pillars are! They actually look like polished stone, rather than 'grey wash, brown wash, drybrush' pillars! Gorgeous!
cool video! I really like your nmm, anyway both are super. so nice too see this kind of comparison. thanks
Awesome video dude. Good Luck!
Thank you for the great comparison. I'm blown away particularly by the TMM version. Looks fantastic!
Great video! I'll be watching more, glad I found your channel. 😊
Great video. lots of awesome info!
Great video!
You are very good at explaining the process step by step, informative and fun to watch at the same time!
Absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!
Excellent editing on this video! Feels like going full time is already paying off! :D
As for the content I always find your analysis and thought process interesting to hear about.
Super video. Freue mich auf den häufigeren content output.
Great video, another one to watch several times to digest all the info 🙏😊
Really enjoyed this video. Great to see an objective look at two techniques that aim to do the same thing side by side. I loved hearing your thoughts on the pros and cons of both rather than being super heavily focused on one and why it is 'better'. Looking forward to seeing more content from you in the coming months
Both incredible results. Love your techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Im excited to see more videos and to learn more about your process and creative vision when you paint
Great video!! Gave a really interesting inside and I will most definitely reevaluate my metals.
Great video m8! Lots of awesome tips on painting NMM and TMM. I'll definitely be trying some of these on my figures. Cheers!
Great video I love seeing the two approaches side by side. I really enjoyed the history and overlay images that demonstrated what you where discussing in the intro. The length of the instructions was spot on and I’d love to see more.
I really appreciate this tutorial where we can see the two styles side by side as you paint each “style”….great help in giving us the pros and cons of each approach, and as always two great figures!
The hidden gems on these vídeos are what i come for. For example those shields and cloals look absolutely awesome. Thank you
Love you work and videos...Merry Christmas 🎄
thanks bro for the tutorial. i got the point. hope you success forever
They both look amazing in their own way! It's really helpful to see a side-by-side of the same mini with the different styles to really drive home the potential applications for each method.
they both look fking amazing amazing job!
Loved this one! Both models look so good and you showed the process very well. I can see using the TMM method for batch painting armies. Really learned a lot. Thank you sir.
Great job, I loved this side by side approach. This also gave me some new techniques to use with TMM, so thanks!
Just love your videos Mr Trovarian. Easy to understand, and the depth of knowledge is so appreciated. Thankyou.
Love this video as it is more of a class. From the last video I though we would get a class on color theory, it seems that every video is it's own class. Thank you for all you do. I am excited for the next one.
Great video, very inspiring!
I'm always looking to up my TMM game and this video has some really good advice. Thanks for the detailed guide!
Thank you for this informative video, and thank you also for posting such a comprehensive list of your gear and equipment in the description. I tremendously appreciate that as well.
A really nice high-end comparison.
This was really useful, thank you!
Great video. Congrats on going full time
Good luck with the new endeavour 🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀
So detailed, useful and interesting guide! Watched it at a single breath. It is one of those when you don't want miss a thing. It gives understanding of techniques not from visual side but from within of the process! Thank you a lot for such a great video!
Both look absolutely amazing, love the way you do your nmm. All the best and hope your channel gets the views you deserve.
this is such a great video showing the results of both and a great guide on trying to get the best out of both techniques. just starting to try and get better at NMM. thank you
Such a deep level of understanding put into a palatable way for learners of all levels.
TMM for the win. Fantastic first vid Trovariion!
You are my favorite miniature painting TH-camr. Great video yet again
Wow watching how effortless you paint nmm is amazing, great video as always
alternate title: insane brush control video. Outstanding work Trovarion - the camera work is impressive too. Thanks for sharing once again.
Thanks!
Amazing, and so educational. I've never tried NMM but i really want to get into it
Thanks for the in-depth tutorial on how to properly use metallics! I'm not really interested in doing NMM but the methods you described will really make up my game with metals.
Maximum effort camera work, love the multi shot brushwork sections of this video
Thank you for doing this detailed comparison between the two effects, it was very informative since I've been learning NMM over the past few months. Using the satin black to determine a contrast ' map' is something I'm definitely going to try on my next piece.
I love how watching this video makes the process of NMM seem so achievable (to someone with little painting skills), when really it’s just your amazing talent shining through. Awesome video man thank you!
Nono. Unconsciously worked. Love the videos my dude! Learning a lot!
Love the new intro clip!
I must say this video helped me alot on my nmm journey right now. Thank you
Great comparison video and reasons why for both. Best of luck in going full-time
Thank you for this! I appreciate the objective look at the "metallic" look. I'm still getting used to painting NMM, but the control it offers over the final look has me hooked.
This is one of the video's I have been looking for! I like to paint TMM and love to see how a very good painter uses them. I realize I might be avoiding learning NMM, but looking at the results you got I like the TMM better. So will try to get better at that first. Also for army painting it makes more sense to use the faster method.
Watching this, I learned how little I use texture in my painting. Everything is smooth and edge highlighted smooth. Bonus points to you for getting two lessons in one!
Cool to see the differences!
So many great things go learn here. I couldn't name just one thing that I took from it the video.
That was quite interesting! Like both variants, so for characters I'd use nmm to make them really stand out and for regular troops will use tmm, to get them done in an efficient way. Thanks for the video!
Interesting approach to the TMM. That section reminded me of your Indomitus Necron painting. To my untrained eye your TMM method looks easier for painting larger groups of figures...
I'm really glad you did a side by side at the end too, because I've often wondered about pros and cons of NMM vs TMM for the finished mini. Great job and good luck with the content creation; you'll kill it!
A 1:1 comparison of TMM vs. NMM on the same miniature is a good Idea to show differences. Great work.
I like the armour and cloak of the NMM model and on the TMM model the shield. :)
