Your wet palette is so much cleaner than that petri dish Scott puts his paints on.
You should see mine 😂😂
I was thinking the same thing! Like buy a new dollar store shammy
lol
I am surprised to ready you say that, scott is such an organised guy when it comes to mini painting ;)
Scott's palette gives me anxiety lol
I like my tendies how I like my audio, crispy. And boy did you make it crispy
We demand a 30 minute montage of you mixing paints on your palette.
Don’t think I don’t have that footage! 😂
It is too clean. Keeping my palate clean is IMPOSSIBLE!
@@Ninjon hey, how much of the contrast medium should I be using?
ASMR Jon
@ninjon @goobertownhobbies
the power is in your hands. Your frail and human fingers. Yeah it's a lot of coding.. Get some loves of the world. nothing is sacred.
Great vid, Jon. Glad you sorted the audio, can't wait for future content!
"You can't screw it up all in one go"
Me: Hold my beer
The outakes at the end were primo content ;)
Really is the most fun part to make too :)
I could easily see myself watching a full 30 minute video of Jon outakes or just him being silly. Cool dude.
@@Ninjon did you try the ink?
Jon's out here revealing conspiracies at GW with those top heavy pots
I really like how you're mixing painting tips and tutorial stuff with the main topic
I would say you are onto something there.
Somebody has been following "The Wappel" and started praising "The One True Brush". Nice job in this video, it is indeed so liberating to mix up paints and be free of colours names. work with that line is so good too.
I'm a beginner painter and have seen you on a few different channels. You're entertaining AND informative. So... more videos please! I enjoy your work! Keep it up.
I love the balance between testing new ideas, using known skills and sharing the applications for both that you have in your videos. I now have some new things to try on my mini's and there has been one mini sitting at my desk primed for a couple of weeks, ready for me to put paint on it. I will try this. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a nice compliment, it means a lot thank you! Lots of room for improvement, but I'm eager to share what I screw up along the way :D
I still use old fashioned base coat - ink - dry brush for most of my armies. I’d only use contrast if I was considering painting up something like 100 skeletons or Tyranids. Good call on using the contrast technical pot to create your own contrast colours - it’s so obvious but I never thought of it!
"Dropper bottle"
That one line was enough to get a like from me.
Subbed. Blew my mind when they released an airbrush line of paints in POTS. WHAT.
I genuinely laughed out loud at that one!!
@@edwardstorbicki6685 But the Air is now in 24ml pots!!!!
They wasted a great opportunity to release a new bottle...
@@ArynCrinn 100%! I don't want to pay premium prices, and then have to also transfer the paint into a useable bottle, and add my own mixing balls.
Top notch and wonderful content! I love the out takes at the end too. Entirely creative, entertaining, and packed full of information. You are honestly one of my favorite painters on youtube. Thank you for the work that you do.
OUTSTANDING - this is the definition of a how to paint video. thanks Jon for showing us this and painting a model all the way through, its really interesting.
Love what you have to say at 7:18 about not putting barriers in front of your fun, and also just giving it a shot again when you feel uninspired. Great advice.
Very good sir. Solid work and nice knowing a way to save myself a lot of hassle. I am just starting my paint collection.
Always interesting to see more of a look at the contrast paint style, I found when I first tried contrast that I often had similar results from pre-thinned "Airbrush Ready" paints when used in the same way that GW was recommending.
I love the color choices you went with for this orc. It looks great.
great help! As Always thank you for all you do for our Hobby.
Great job. I would be really keen to see a video on your specular highlighting techniques. It's something that really elevated that piece an absurd amount.
really glad you're making videos! I really enjoyed the video you did for Scott about paint starter sets, helped get me into the hobby when I was starting :)
Wow! What you were able to achieve with the contrast medium and transparent paints was amazing, especially the non-metallic metals!
Picked up some of these transparent paints recently and planning on trying this tonight! Thank you for the idea and video.
The first video I watched ever on Miniac's channel was the one with you comparing the different beginner paint sets which really helped me a lot! So I'm happy to see you've made you're own channel dude!
I always appreciate more cost effective paints. Thanks for this. Also these end skits are what's gonna take you to the top!
I love the Pro Acryl transparent colors and look forward to trying this!
The ProAcryl line of paints are amazing. I find myself using them more then any other paint.
Already bought a bunch of stuff from Monument, but learning about the coupon and how it helps you, went back and got some more stuff! Keep it up man, you're killing it.
Holy crap Jon, this is stellar work! I’m glad you started this channel and I look forward to seeing what you put out next!
Yup I "know what to do". I am loving the vids. I wasn't familiar with line of paints you were employing (I do know what contrast paints are...so the other ones) so I will have to check them out. Thanks again! It's nice to hear a friendly voice shouting in void.
Glad to see you have a channel finally, always loved seeing you on Miniac. Both informative and entertaining, good job taking the leap mate
Fascinating how some white dots here and there can improve the look of a model. At first, for me at least, it looks like a mistake, but in the end it works out. Thanks for that. I will try that.
How did I miss this until now!! Just ordered the transparent pack and some metal medium using your discount. Thanks Jon
Direct quote from a text i got from my friend..
"have you watched ninjons new video?..literally a gamechanger and the most useful painting video ive watched in a while. he has sausage fingers"
high praise indeed.
Excellent, it's always good to have access to more tools
hells yeah man! I'm all about mixing my own colors, thanks for spotlighting this product!
Absolutely love the transparent paints. Incredible stuff
I'm glad you've started making videos, you've got the knack for it.
I am getting back into painting, thanks for the tip.
I really appreciate your content so far and i seriously hope you want to continue making these vids!
More to come!
Thanks john this was a great help.
One of the things I find interesting is the miniature's imperfection seemingly disappearing as you painted, specifically on the face. Like, sure, I can still see that line, but I noticed that I wasn't SEEING it (if that makes sense) unless I told myself to. It's something I constantly find myself getting hung up on with my own imperfect minis, so it's nice to see stuff like that in others and see how they deal with it.
Completely agree. I still see it, but its a lot less prevalent. And i think others see it even less, since they didn't spend so long painting it.
I love mounument hobbies line of paints , they are actually really cool ,I use transparent paints over my acrylic paint then add acrylic paint , then transparent paint to make the contrast , look great !
These are fantastic!!!! Great work Jon!
Also thanks for the transparent paint link, was looking for a better line of paints for mixing colors 🙌
Awesome video! You are getting very pro at the video editing gig! I haven't used contrast paints but I'm keen to get some medium now and play around with it in the ways you did. Thanks for these experiments!
I am painting this mini and 4 others like him for my rekindled love of Mordheim. It is also my 1st time using washes. Watching you move all over as you painted is sooo similar to how I paint. This video gave me the oomph to take the next step.
You got this!
Watching your videos is always so therapeutic.
I really enjoyed learning about this technique, thank you!
The wet pallet mixing exercise was great, and I love how poppy the style is
Okay, that is really cool. And I 150% agree that GW paints should come it drop bottles, but I would be a good start if the bottles/pots were airtight again.
good audio, and loved the idea! I'll have to try out some contrast medium as an additional tool.
Awesome vid to wake up to before work. The audio is SO much better! Great stuff.
Excellent presentation, quality and content. More please! 😀
great video and great result. I dont paint minis, I paint latex masks, just looking to improve my work. nice work on this.
I've been having quite a bit of success just with inks but this is a cool take.
“‘You can’t screw it all up all at once”
Challenge accepted.
Inks and clear varnish plus a bit of water was what I used to do. Black mix on white primer coat. Then used ink mixes for each colour. That was 30 years ago. Used to trade painted minis for more unpainted ones.
Great to see you making vids. Awesome job.
Been watching Miniac for a few years now, and love your guy's podcast. It's super fun to see you succeed at starting your own youtube channel after all the work. Great vid, excited to see more!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is my jam, right here. Awesome video and awesome tools I just have discovered! Thanks a lot!
And thank you for telling them off about the top heavy bottles!
Great to see another video! Audio is so much better. My only tip is that when I first saw this video I though I had already watched it. A red line appears on the bottom of a thumbnail in the TH-cam app when you’ve already watched it. Great to see you back! Maybe you could do a video on basing? I’ve found that rolling out a sheet of greenstuff, letting it cure, and then cutting that to use as bricks is very helpful!
Good to know, I'll change the thumbnails in the future! I really appreciate the tip! Oh, and I have a smashing idea for a basing video, coming soon!
Great vid for morning treadmill 👍🏻 I’d been thinking about those Monument paints, so your vid gave me the needed nudge to pick em up.
Mines was camoshade. The day before the covid lock down. Still get flashbacks
That Liqitex ink + contrast medium looks way to smooth.
No puddles, no nothing. I am really tempted to try it out.
Thanks for the tests!
Great video and delivery of the content sir! Love it, rock on man!
Can't wait to see what's next man really digging your perspective and talent
I like the look you achieved. This is definitely worth checking out.
Great second video, Jon! The audio was perfect and the paint job looked great.
Great video Jon I really appreciated it. Please keep it up.
Wow @6:50 onwards, that is the best-filmed painting sequence I've ever seen. Outstanding camera work ! (and painting was pretty good too ;)
So first off, those transparent paints are sold out on the monument website, so good job.
Also, I've never watched any of your videos, just Scott.s, but I've watched the both of you multiple times and also watched the podcast you guys do. and I'll say your videos are great.Great video Quality, great Audio, and hilarious out takes. I'm definitely a new subscriber and a bell notification.
end result looks sick great job.
Really. The yellowish tint on the skin made me really happy 😍
Love this. Great video, great ideas, great paint job.
Great video. I've got done transparent paints from another line (not Monument Hobbies) I will definitely try this with.
Hey Jon, loving your channel and your fresh perspective on painting- also your audio is belissimo! I really enjoy the skits and I hope we see more of you trying to convert Nigel the customer service guy 😄
Keep the videos coming. Loving it
Love how much the video quality has improved😁
Contrast medium sits alongside glaze medium and flow improver on my desk. It's really useful.
Wow it looks AMAZEBALLS!!! You really do an amazing job. So glad you started a youtube channel!!!
Looks great and sounds great! Great 2nd video Jon. 🤘 Also hitting that mark of info/comedy (infomedy prehaps?) pretty spot on, keep up the great work!
I'd been eyeing the transparent paints for a while now, so this was just the kick in the pants I needed to order them. Thanks for the discount, Jon, and enjoy that kick-back! :D
No, thank you!
Ninjon you are a gifted painter. Keep up the good work sir
Nice job, really love the WoW look of this mini. Contrast paints are great for some things not for others, when you make your own product you can always adjust it how you like it to get it to behave how you want it to. Dropper bottles!
Doesnt everything go into dropper bottles?😊
@@dovahkiinsadventures7632 should be in dropper bottles in the first place, not a design that seems custom made to dry out 🙄
Sold me on em'. I just bought a set and even used your code. Thanks for the video!
This was a really great video! I do have a question though, what's the difference between inks, washes, and contrast paint? They all seem to have high flow and high pigment. I'm not entirely sure what the difference is and how they are each supposed to be used.
Thanks for making This vid🙏😊
great videos! love your vibe!
Thoroughly inspired by this. I have a bunch of Rogue Trader Harlequins I've been struggling with - I reckon your process of layering color and coloring shadows with the contrast medium could brake the block. Liked and subscribed!
Oooooo dat crispy audio. And all for a sweet contrast burn. Ten thumbs up.
Great video, I liked the effect you achieved with the liquitex magenta and contrast medium as well.... Time to wait for monument hobbies to get their paints set up with a UK distributor
element games will be the new supplier soon.
Jon: Say is this just the contrast medium that makes contrast paint work how it does?
GW: Yes
Jon: *laughs menacingly* FOOLS
But since the Medium costs as much as any of the other contrast paints, and since ultimately you will use the same amount to make a given color as you would from a pot of that color, how are you really saving money? Maybe if you don't paint much, or do a variety of different models... but if you're doing even a small army, you're going to go through an entire pot (or more) of any given color anyhow.
@@HeadHunterSix now we need some mad scientist to figure out what's in Contrast Medium ...
@@ernieme101 flow aid, a little slow dry and matte medium.
The real trick behind contrast is the amount and quality of the pigment imo.
@@HeadHunterSix well Contrast paint and Contrast Medium is same price but the paint is 18ml and Medium is 24ml.
Since you mix it with the cheaper paint - meaning NOT using 18ml Medium for an 18ml Contrast pot - it will be even cheaper yet.
@@HeadHunterSix Yeah, like Tommy said... the medium is cheaper per ml than the regular Contrast pots, and just about every other regular paint/ink is also cheaper per ml. So all up, you will save money.
I'm real curious to see how Scale75's upcoming Instant Colors Dispel Magic medium works out. If it's close enough to Contrast Medium... then I'll just use it instead.
I have done this for years I have called it controlled wash, huh I just read ral parthas paint guide and it was there name for it. Took a long time for me to learn my level and you still taught me things. Thanks kid.
Dude I'm so glad I found your channel. I've seen the episodes of Miniac you're in and I'm like, "I like the cut of this guy's jib."
Thanks for the excellent video :D
Glad you got the kinks worked out. This video was excellent.
Good stuff Jon, Cheers!
I’ve never used contrast paints but I’ve seen some people use glaze medium to make “contrast” mixes. I want to try these out though!
This video is the high point in an otherwise crappy day. Great video Jon!
I’ve been having a think, and I wonder if this same effect could be replicated with regular paints using some glazing medium. Gotta test it...just need a mini to play with.
Excellent!
