I also have a hard time edge highlighting but I think you are making a mistake I recently discovered I was making. 8:32 is a good example, your brush is not loaded that much, what I found helped me was to load the brush way more with paint that was diluted by flow improver. Then I press the brush into a damp paper towel until the "bloom" of paint stops happening, in case it's too wet. Now when I use the brush it flows well, and doesn't dry out too fast. Another thing I noticed, because I also have shaky hands, is I would grip by brush very tight and this led to me making really hard strokes which leaves big thick lines. When I loosened my grip up and tried to be softer, my lines got a lot smaller and neater. Was mostly using an old W&N #2 but I switched for this kind of stuff to a smaller brush, a monument hobbies #2 and that also helped me out. Eyes are the same thing, it's probably not that you suck it's probably that you're having to press too hard to get the paint to flow because it's drying out for having so little on your brush.
Very well done! I have been going for box art on my Ultramarines. It take so much time but to me it’s just such a good feeling to watch them come together and than have a miniature on the shelf that seemed so unachievable as a child.
On being good at glueing, I prefer the Revell glue over the often praised Tamiya Extra Thin, I feel it’s more aggressive and the parts get welded together faster. Trying to build Warcry murder trees with Tamiya was just terrible. Might be better for small parts though, as you have more control of the amount you’re using. The GSW is similar, but terribly smells like repurposed nail polish remover, which is true for all three products, probably 😂
It look❤s great. The box art is a bit misleading. They paint gradients at the edges with ever finer highlights. I think 4 or 5 rounds of layered highlights all with incredible precision. Check out infernal brush. He used to work for GW on the box art
Does not really look like an official GW box art to me, but it’s still an amazing paint job, probably even better than the official one due to the better color choice
I'll probably never be able to paint at a super high level lol. I've watched literally every episode on the internet about how to do glazing, blending, osl, layering and NMM and I'm still lost in the woods. Legit if the instruction isnt slap the paint on im confused.
Nice job, way better than I would have the patience to do. Unless i am being paid a stupid amount of money to do it I would not spend that much time on a single marine though. Fun video though.
I think that I speak for all of your subscribers when I say- no matter how many subscriptions you get, PLEASE don’t grow a beard, no matter how majestic it may be! 😉
You did it. You've become the Warhammer 40,000 by doing box art. Now you can do fun things again.

Thank mate your video about the terminator armor actually help thanks
I like your paint job better than the actual box art. Then again I might be biased since you're one of my favourite painters on TH-cam. Awesome job!

When I am gluing i tell my self i am defusing a bomb and it helps me take my time and it comes out good
Cool story bro...
@@TheSixYardBox thanks bro...
Looks great to me :D I really like how the glazing with the black looks, might have to think about doing something similar myself, really pops.
I like your color choices better than the box art

It’s more 3 edge highlights then localisés highlights at some places and then a dot highlight

Well done 😀 It looks just like the box art. You did an amazing job 😀
you did a great job! I still won't edge highlight like that ever but you kicked ass
🔥🔥🔥🔥
So funny and such an awesome personality
Looked very cool, box art feels like an impossible target at the best of times!
I might have to do this for a challenge. I have an Eldar Farseer primed and ready.....
Great job on this! Every time I feel like I want to go full potato I end up losing my resolve before the end. Congrats on your sponsorship!!!

I'd say it's similar enough. We'll done! Also, small question, what does Ataraxia mean?

Sometimes it is very important to show your younger self that you have finally made it! 😉
Sei stata bravissima...prossime miniature da colorare dal box???? che domande gli ICONICI TERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Upvote for Patreon video edits with more swearing.
That was a really enjoining Video. Maybe more enjoyable as producing it ^^
I find redbull and/or coffee will make my shaky hands worse
There is an oreo in your ear
Regarding the eyes: stop tormenting yourself and just use watercolour/gouache!
