You can use constrast paints or a wash to give a bit of a clear off yellow to the blades that will improve the coating of the white, you can also base coat the bamboos cream and use a green wash to tint it greener.
If you don't have a wash easily available, you can make it with 40% distilated water, 40% percent acrylic, non bright varnish and 20% paint, after that, add a few drops of detergent and mix it well. Apply in generous doses and let it dry, add as much coats as you want, it will make the bamboo look, i don't, bamboo-er?
You can also use a dark green wash to filll in the recesses like the eyebrows and the nose

I keep wanting to ad airbrushing to my arsenal but man for some reason it scares the crap out of me but I know it would open up tons of possibilities. Thanks as always

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

I know the feeling. I held out for a while too. But it’s one of those things it just takes time and practice. Just like any other tool you use. Today I couldn’t imagine not having one.

[@matthewwilson3673]

Great work, just found the channel!

[@Taruk620]

Awesome work and walk thru!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks so much man. It was truly a fun paint job.

[@Taruk620]

I might have to pick your brain some time. I’m learning to paint more. Been printing and building for some time. I did a Mewtwo and Charmander from the same group. Now called LA I noticed your in their to.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

@@Taruk620 awesome I’ve printing those as well. Plan on painting them too. Feel free to join my free discord server (link in description) if you ever need to “pick my brain”

That zenithal paint is next lvl which I should implement in my work. This work turned awesome! Is it okay if I steal your idea for one of my Pokemon dioramas on my channel?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks. You can absolutely share it. The more people learn the better in my opinion.

[@lionsbrush]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe Thanks! Keep up the good work 😄

[@PietroMaira80sAreAwesome]

I was wondering your paint holder on your pegboard.. Are those 3d printed?
if they are can you share the link as to where you got them please?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

I got them on Thingiverse printed them a while ago I know there are tons of options to print.

[@PietroMaira80sAreAwesome]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe thingverse , just got into 3d printing.. I'll check it out.. thank you

[@MMQsTacosConLimons]

Can we print a one piece model standing straight up on the build plate? I thought we have to always put the model in a 45 degree angle?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

You technically can but you risk imperfections in the print. I typically print about a 30 degree angle. Sometimes more dependent on the model.

[@MMQsTacosConLimons]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe thanks

[@innovationsbyjasmine]

Where did you cop the stl…looks good btw

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Unfortunately during the making of this video the creator stopped offering this model. 😕

[@marquisW4292]

Wished I got the last two models before the shutdown 😔

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

@@marquisW4292 yeah I was really sad about what happened to him. Such a talented artist.

[@toddgrimes3943]

Did you make the model yourself? If not do you know where you found the file?

[@crisiec9776]

We are wearing the same shirt...

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

😁😆

[@RockCYP]

Who is the creator of the model?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

It is from a creator that is no longer marking Pokémon models. He is named LA Figures on patreon.

[@RockCYP]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe thats sad to hear, do you know any other designers that do pokemon?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

@@RockCYP my poke prints is pretty good.

[@RockCYP]

Can't watch. Too many moving parts going 100 miles per hour. Why not edit the video down to showing some parts that is important to learn, like techniques, how to file stuff down to fit, he far to spray, etc. In a normal viewing fashion. So that the viewer can learn by doing.
As it is, what the video does show is a lack of showing the viewer "how" to do something. Remember, the object of sharing a video is for folks to know one's techniques, whereby another can learn by example.
All videos that are done in such warp-speed fashion does not take into consideration a caringness towards the viewership to learn. For with any master that wants to pass on what they learn to the next generation requires of themselves an ability to show how something is made so that those who desires to do what others do easily, can themselves do by observation, without the need to struggle from not understanding an instruction in the first place?
In situations with a fast-forwarded video with a lot of moving parts, the brain processing of those watching has to struggle with what the eyes sees, versus the normal voice coming in from the audio. And in this situation, how can an individual learn, if all they do at the end of any video recorded in such a fashion is rub their eyes from trying to see the process being done but cannot.
