The Pink/Yellow combo works because: The yellow visually mixes with the pink to create an orange tone, the white in the pink keeps the visual brightness of the yellow :) If you use a Cerulean Blue / Aqua blue mixed with a white as the shade instead of the pink, you will get a cool yellow instead as the blue will visually mix with the yellow and make a cool green. Great paint job by the way, looks as amazeballs as ever!
This makes sense to me! I need to get the sludge moving in my brain and figure this stuff out. Probably I'll have to do another batch of experiments! Thanks for watching and thanks for the insight :-)
Yellow pigments have a tendency to go towards olive green in shades. Red and green are complementary colors, and the reddish foundation helps to filter out the greenish tendencies of the yellow pigment on top, keeping the shadows in the orange range.
It will be a really long time before 3D printing replaces plastic casting. 3D printing is a lot of work. I've printed thousands of points so far with my photon but in the time it's taken me to do it I could of earned enough by working at McDonalds to buy 10x as much from GW. It's a hobby though so I enjoy it.
I'm gonna say while I love artisans guilds models (have a few orcs from them) I prefer multipose injection molds and the sheer style of sculpts from gw
Chameleon Lizardfolk...you're a natural, Brent! D&D is waiting for you hahaha :D Thank you so much for the lovely paint and video. This was a wonderful journey - and looooooved the bases! Good thing I live by the beach ;)
That's what every community needs to improve, collaboration. Especially into adjacent areas (like terrain or 3D printing, etc.) Guess it doesn't hurt that I already watch the 3 of you for different reasons if you all know somebody, best recommendation I can think of. I only wish the Kickstarter had a print it for me option instead of files. Great video and thank you.
There's just something about your videos that inspires me to paint my minis. I'm loving turning on your videos and just laying paint to plastic. Thank you for all your work and for your fantastic content.
I am a simple man. I see cute cats in a youtube video, I click thumbs up. Also, your content is as useful/cool/relaxing/inspirational as your cats are cute!
@@GoobertownHobbies You really should , they have gotten so cheap now ( I purchased a longer orange 10 for 343 AUD ) . Mind numbingly simple to use compared to an FDM printer ( been printing FDM for a while ) . I went in blind and the first mini I printed on it came out perfect ( a warhammer 40k undead guy who I thought would look cool in DnD). I literally spent 5 minutes figuring how to use the slicer and printed it .
I bought a Photon 3 months ago: it’s been a great tool! I printed minis for ded, tabletop, gifts, and even experimented on busts without having to pay big bucks for them. It’s a wonderful machine
Absolutely love your vids. Your experimental approach to the hobby is refreshing and enlightening. It proves that life regardless of the outcome is about trying and working through things. That all might sound quite deep but we have a Hobby that allows for 'happy accidents' and that's a wonderful place to be. Thanks again for a superb vid.
Hey thanks Jason!! I'm really glad that you appreciate the way that I hobby. Those happy accidents will come if you jump in there and give stuff a shot :-)
Hello Goobertown Hobbies, that's funny you said 3D printing is the future and future is now. I just said the same thing in another YT comments not to long ago. 3D printing will help keep miniatures prices down. It will take some time but 3D printing will pretty much just take over everything in our lives. Thank you for your 3D printing & painting videos. Thank you Goobertown Hobbies & have a great day.
Got my own starter printer some 2 weeks ago, been printing mini's ever since. Have yet to paint them though, but it's so fricking easy now to get cheap mini's :D
Great to see Danny finding ways to engage the painting community this way! I've been following both of you for some time so this is a wonderfully positive collab to see. Hopefully we'll see more uptake in 3d printed minis so we won't be as constrained in subject matter and sculpts as we are now. I'm personally hoping we get more cool and diverse monsters :)
This project really blew my mind. These were awesome to paint, and you're right this opens so many new doors in terms of content. Start telling Danny what you want in KS #3!! :-)
The future is now, old man! Seriously though these look great. At least on par with Reaper Bones, if not better. It's an interesting paradigm shift and I'm curious how this will affect the miniatures industry! I certainly don't want companies like Reaper or even Games Workshop to suffer in any way from this development. But I also don't want weird IP lawsuits over 3d printed Space Marines. It'll be an interesting future, for sure! Thank you for highlighting this project :)
Yeah this is very interesting stuff. Like others have said, there are still barriers to entry (money, space, expertise) for these printers, but we're definitely at an interesting point for this technology! I'm excited to see where this goes.
cool, Danny's channel is how I started printing my Traveller starship miniatures. (I make them myself in a 3D program, and turn them into real physical models) I used an FDM printer (Ender3) and I just got a resin printer last week (Sparkmaker). I havent printed any resin yet, too busy at work, but I can't wait. Days off soon. Have a good trip!
"So I'm really hope I don't embarrass myself with these Lizard Folk" you didn't, but in my opinion the most important part of miniature youtube videos is for us to be able to relate to the material and results. I suppose it could sound like a backhanded insult, but it's not meant like it, your miniatures look great and after watching your videos I feel like I can do something similar. Squidmar on the other hand, I can't really relate to at all, he's like a fish in water with this. I don't know if he was taught as a kid or has talent for picking up painting techniques, but I feel like his results are way out of my reach. I'm really glad that the community is starting to notice 3D printed miniatures, I'm really looking forwards to how it'll expand. I'm not ashamed to say that I'd use it for the occasional "recast" and I have plenty of ways of excusing it, but simply put I think it might force at least a certain company to rethink its pricing tactics and maybe start being more reasonable or suffer from its own inability to adapt. I don't mean to be mean and I'm glad that their company can hire and keep its employees the way they do, but prices are way beyond the point of being prohibitive, which is why anyone who is serious is already buying so many used minis. Anyway, sorry to rant Brent, just wanted to say that I personally enjoy what you do a lot.
Awesome minis and awesome paint job. New to both the hobby and the channel and loving both so far. I've got a bunch of freshly built models and am currently looking into different painting examples/tips before I start painting my own and you have been very helpful so far. Keep up the great work man.
The pink-yellow combination goes well together because that pink is arguably a light purple. Purple and yellow are complimentary colors (opposites on the wheel). Also goober-cats!
I just got myself a 3D printer and am painting them while watching your video! Perfect timing and keep up the great work! I especially love how you role play some of what you're doing, giving life to your works!
It's like the spirit of Bob Ross has inhabited you, but instead of a fro there's the pony-tail. I love it. I'm learning tons of stuff from your videos and they are super de-stressing as a bonus. Keep it up!
Pink works well in the shadows because it's colder than the yellow. A lot of people just add black to their main colour to make a shadows, but that just desaturates the colour. Making shadows colder and highlights warmer really makes models pop
Another great video, mate. 3D printing has come along in leaps and bounds even over the last six months. Also, a solid class act the way you shout out other channels. Gold. Good on you, mate.
Goobertown is quickly becoming my favourite hobby channel. I love your video style and overall approach to the hobby. Thank you for some top quality, relaxing content.
On the yellow and pink thing. When applying any paint over a white and black under coat, you are building up the color layers on a grey scale gradient. This desaturates the color. Apply it over another saturated color like pink keeps the saturation, and since they are very close to opposites on the color wheel they make a dark color. you could use other colors but they might not compliment each other as much. the same rule goes for mixing paints for highlights and shadows, if you just use black and white for the respective shades you will loose the saturation of the colors and your over all piece moves closer towards grey.
The resin 3d printers really are outstanding when it comes to minis. The details my friend and I have got with the printer makes it well worth it. Plus you can print a large display piece of your mini which is a blast to paint. I’ve been working on the display of my character Uthgar, the photon resin printer is my recommendation. As always, love your channel and cheers!
Have a great time. It is a great convention and I have enjoyed the times I have gone. I have seen the results on Luke Towen's channel and it looks like a fantastic system. thanks for sharing this and great paint job!
Another great video! Those minis are beautiful! I'll keep an eye out for you at Gen Con. While you're there you should check out the Eldritch Foundry booth and see what their new 3D printed minis are like.
The pink on yellow thing I think has something to do with pink being close to magenta, which stands opposite yellow on the colour wheel. I've heard some people use green against red for similar reasons.
True, Pink and yellow are almost complementary to each other. Try "Split complementary" (Google it!) and add some blue or green to the model. That would be an interesting experiment :)
Well, also, if you apply yellow directly on pink, because of the trasparency you kinda get orange, which is also used as shadow often for yellow colors, so I guess it's also for that reason
Resin printers are awesome, but the resin scares the crap out of me. It’s highly toxic if you get it on your skin, and you u can’t just wash it off. And the residue from the process is highly toxic e-waste that you can’t just wash down the sink. Love the results but not for me. Love your work though.
Love how they turned out. The printing was fantastic. Keen to see what you do with the... Mecha Lizard? Metal Lizard? Lizard Terminator? Cant wait to see how it turns out
Oh man. Once again, I love your use of vibrant colors. These came out so good. I also come from a Tabletop RPG background and am always coming up with excuses to convince myself not to buy a 3D printer...this sure made that a lot harder to continue doing.
I've been using my cheapo FDM printer to emulate your random paint a mini project. I use a random number generator to choose a mini from my folder, and just print and paint it. Been nice to do minis I probably wouldn't do otherwise
Whoa that's an awesome idea!!! I had never even considered that, that eliminates the whole need for hundreds of diverse spare minis! :-) That's incredible, I'm going to have to think about this! Oh yeah, I hope you're having fun with it! :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I just got started in the mini painting hobby, so it's been a nice way to force myself to try new things, even if it's just doing different colors and basic techniques at the moment
about the yellow and pink thing I know nothing about color theory, but if you look at nature, like leopard geckos for instance. they kind of have a pink undertone and they're yellow? So maybe it looks good because you actually see them together in rl?
Interesting! Now I'm going to be looking at leopard geckos all day :-) There have been a few folks in the comments with color theory explanations which sound plausable... I'm gonna have to let that all rattle around in my brain some more!
So darker areas tend to have a higher saturation so the red undertone shows through in the low lights and a more pure yellow shows where the light's hitting. It makes the scales look organic and layered instead of like a flat colour with some shading. I also think it has something to do with how colour bounces maybe? Idk. All i know is that you dont shade with the same tone but darker
Yup. I was the same as you...saw what was going on a year or three ago and thought "Cool...not quite at the level I'd be happy with. Give it another year or two". Well. Here we are! The Future (tm)! .. I bought a Photon S a week or two ago. Should be here this week. :) I'm looking forward to printing my own 3D creations (I'm a 3d artist), paint them, and surprise my gaming group...assuming we can all organize a weekly game this summer! Freaking life...getting in the way of all my fun! Pffft! *grumble grumble* .. Anyway, yeah. Really looking forward to learning a new skill! 3D printing! :D
Holy Secrets of the Salt Water Marsh, Batman! That was a great introduction for me on 3D models! I subscribe to Squidmar already, and I saw his Bugbear. I think you nailed the lizardmen. I love the green one, and at first, didn't like the orange. But when I saw the finished product, it looks amazing. I'm off to check out Lukes APS and 3D Printed Tabletop. Thank you and have fun at Gen Con!
@@GoobertownHobbies FYI: I tried water effects using glossy modge podge and clear Elmers school glue. Both worked great. I need to get some Vallejo water effects to try that too.
I used to play 40k back in the day, but my passion was painting and making scenery. I recently thought about starting up again, went into my local games workshop store, had a quick look around, and quickly walked again! The prices were astronomical!! And these days most mini's are plastic. And the tools prices were crazy as well. I seriously could not believe how expensive my old hobby had become. Quite saddened actually, obviously popularity breeds greed! I now buy preowned, semi painted minis, ive found some real bargains, and have amassed a very healthy bits box this way.
I mentioned this in a comment on Squidmar - historically the layer lines and rough surface textures really turned me off of 3D printed minis (along with soft details). But if those things are in the past, I'll be really interested to try painting these! I'd just need to figure out the best printer/material to achieve this quality. I'm also curious how long they take to print.
Me too! Both of us love using washes, and layer lines would just instantly sabotage that technique. I've gotta start paying more attention to these 3d printing channels!
Pretty cool, things have indeed improved with 3D printing and the minis look very nice. I also love the fact your cats get along so well, what's the secret?! Mine are complete brats!
Color theory time! So from art classes we know that mixing yellow and red creates orange, offering nice shadow on yellow surface. So, why use pink instead of something like red? Yellow as paint is not exactly most covering of colors, and as such, putting yellow over red would not create this smooth blend from red to orange and yellow, just brighter red. Pink meanwhile has white in it, not yellow. Thin layer of yellow tints the red on pink, creating smooth orange hue to the pink areas, and human eye sees this as light orange.
THANK YOU! This makes a lot of sense. Miniac's recent funko-pop imperial fist video was interesting because he shaded with red and the red overwhelmed the yellow. I guess that pink as a shade is able to make a smoother blend and get that bright orange. Very cool stuff :-)
amazing to see our sculpts painted so good! thanks :)
Hey Andrea, nice to meet you! Thanks for the awesome sculpts, these were so much fun :-)
nice to meet you too :) thank you!
amazing models! =D
The Pink/Yellow combo works because: The yellow visually mixes with the pink to create an orange tone, the white in the pink keeps the visual brightness of the yellow :)
If you use a Cerulean Blue / Aqua blue mixed with a white as the shade instead of the pink, you will get a cool yellow instead as the blue will visually mix with the yellow and make a cool green.

You beat me to it :)
Yellow pigments have a tendency to go towards olive green in shades. Red and green are complementary colors, and the reddish foundation helps to filter out the greenish tendencies of the yellow pigment on top, keeping the shadows in the orange range.
If you look at very old paints with gold leaf you’ll tend to notice it often is over red.
The one dislike is from GamesWorkshop quaking in their boots at the 3d Printing Revolution.
The revolution is coming, they cannot stop it!
It will be a really long time before 3D printing replaces plastic casting.

uglyduckling81 Wait for another 10-20 years itll be so much easier to print out things
I'm gonna be honest they could start charging for their digitized sculpts and I wouldn't be super mad at the pivot
I'm gonna say while I love artisans guilds models (have a few orcs from them) I prefer multipose injection molds and the sheer style of sculpts from gw

Whoa that's an awesome idea!!! I had never even considered that, that eliminates the whole need for hundreds of diverse spare minis! :-) That's incredible, I'm going to have to think about this! Oh yeah, I hope you're having fun with it! :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I just got started in the mini painting hobby, so it's been a nice way to force myself to try new things, even if it's just doing different colors and basic techniques at the moment
Loving your channel man, so nicely produced and super informative.
Thanks Harry! That makes my day :-)
You are the first person I ever really subscribe to, man I wish I could be as free if my paint as you. I wish I could meet you in real life.
This dude's got a dungeon & dragons starter kit to cats a 3D printing machine and that sweet ass ponytail
Great work, as always !!
Hey thanks George! :-)
Really enjoying the more regular uploads my man, love the channel, keen to see what you have in store!
about the yellow and pink thing I know nothing about color theory, but if you look at nature, like leopard geckos for instance. they kind of have a pink undertone and they're yellow? So maybe it looks good because you actually see them together in rl?
Interesting! Now I'm going to be looking at leopard geckos all day :-) There have been a few folks in the comments with color theory explanations which sound plausable... I'm gonna have to let that all rattle around in my brain some more!
They look great sir 👍🏻
Hey thanks!!! :-)
Love your work. Great vids . Love from Sweden.
Hey thanks! Glad to have some swedes as viewers :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Watching your videos is inspiring. Every time I look, I just want to paint again. Do you have an instagram account?
Excellent tutorial and very, very, inspirational! Kind Regards Johnny
These look fantastic, great job!
Hey thanks! :-)
Vallejo water effects looks way better than expected
indeed- BUT! a few years later, and now it all looks cloudy instead of clear... oy.
@@GoobertownHobbies Ops
Great job sir! Keep on creating and we will keep on printing! :)
Nice goobs! it looks so good
So darker areas tend to have a higher saturation so the red undertone shows through in the low lights and a more pure yellow shows where the light's hitting. It makes the scales look organic and layered instead of like a flat colour with some shading. I also think it has something to do with how colour bounces maybe? Idk. All i know is that you dont shade with the same tone but darker
It's amazing! These cat minis look like real life! :D
This was such a cool video Brent! Keep it up!
Thanks Leo!
Just found your channel! thank you for creating a great and positive place for mini painters!
Yup. I was the same as you...saw what was going on a year or three ago and thought "Cool...not quite at the level I'd be happy with. Give it another year or two". Well. Here we are! The Future (tm)!
..
I bought a Photon S a week or two ago. Should be here this week. :) I'm looking forward to printing my own 3D creations (I'm a 3d artist), paint them, and surprise my gaming group...assuming we can all organize a weekly game this summer! Freaking life...getting in the way of all my fun! Pffft! *grumble grumble*
..
Anyway, yeah. Really looking forward to learning a new skill! 3D printing! :D
I just love this guy
Hahaha, thanks!
I really appreciate the effort that went into this video
Thanks steve- totally worth it :-)
Holy Secrets of the Salt Water Marsh, Batman! That was a great introduction for me on 3D models! I subscribe to Squidmar already, and I saw his Bugbear. I think you nailed the lizardmen. I love the green one, and at first, didn't like the orange. But when I saw the finished product, it looks amazing. I'm off to check out Lukes APS and 3D Printed Tabletop. Thank you and have fun at Gen Con!
Hey thanks! Yeah these came together nicely, it was a good introduction for ME into 3d printed models :-)
These are really cool and your paint job makes them look fantastic :)
Looking good m8ty. I got your site link from Lukes APS.
Great content as always, it is very interesting to see what hobby 3d printers are capable of these days.
Awesome man - well done :)
Pink and yellow are opposites on the color wheel, color theory suggests that layering a color over its opposite regardless of the layers opacity
Lovely painting! I will steal your tidal basing idea for the Wrath of Kings Hadross I have incoming.
Those Hadross look awesome! Definitely a good team to give some tidal bases. Have fun! :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies FYI: I tried water effects using glossy modge podge and clear Elmers school glue. Both worked great. I need to get some Vallejo water effects to try that too.
I used to play 40k back in the day, but my passion was painting and making scenery.
I recently thought about starting up again, went into my local games workshop store, had a quick look around, and quickly walked again!
The prices were astronomical!!
And these days most mini's are plastic.
And the tools prices were crazy as well.
I seriously could not believe how expensive my old hobby had become.
Quite saddened actually, obviously popularity breeds greed!
I now buy preowned, semi painted minis, ive found some real bargains, and have amassed a very healthy bits box this way.
Yellow lizard looking more like hes guarding the blue lizard to make sure no big meanie attacks him
pink = light red => red + yellow = orange, which you would usually use as shadows for yellow surfaces on the mini

I mentioned this in a comment on Squidmar - historically the layer lines and rough surface textures really turned me off of 3D printed minis (along with soft details). But if those things are in the past, I'll be really interested to try painting these! I'd just need to figure out the best printer/material to achieve this quality. I'm also curious how long they take to print.
Me too! Both of us love using washes, and layer lines would just instantly sabotage that technique. I've gotta start paying more attention to these 3d printing channels!
nice work!
Not big on lizard folk but that being said the blue one turned out awesome!
God those turned out so good!
Hey thanks Andrew! Yeah... pretty happy with these lizards :-)
Pretty cool, things have indeed improved with 3D printing and the minis look very nice. I also love the fact your cats get along so well, what's the secret?! Mine are complete brats!
Color theory time! So from art classes we know that mixing yellow and red creates orange, offering nice shadow on yellow surface. So, why use pink instead of something like red? Yellow as paint is not exactly most covering of colors, and as such, putting yellow over red would not create this smooth blend from red to orange and yellow, just brighter red. Pink meanwhile has white in it, not yellow. Thin layer of yellow tints the red on pink, creating smooth orange hue to the pink areas, and human eye sees this as light orange.
THANK YOU! This makes a lot of sense. Miniac's recent funko-pop imperial fist video was interesting because he shaded with red and the red overwhelmed the yellow. I guess that pink as a shade is able to make a smoother blend and get that bright orange. Very cool stuff :-)
