    This series always makes me want to paint.
    Love how you didn’t change much from the box art, but it’s still more vibrant.

    Without a doubt you are one of the best users of Contrast, before your series I was very skeptical about the paint itself. You really threw me off with the start! The filter changes it all. Really love your work, please keep it up! KING JUAN

  • @mirage809
    @mirage809 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love that colour filtering trick. It's something I really need to experiment more with myself.
    Personally I did my best to follow the 'Eavy Metal recipe down to the letter when painting my Lion, which was a challenge as I normally don't even dare to try volumetric highlights. It was worth it in the end however. Also went with a red cape and robes instead of green as I saw that on the cover of Lion's Horus Heresy novell and I dig that look on him.
    Magnetised the heads too, because there was no way I was ever gonna choose one head without instantly regretting it as soon as the glue dried.

    Howdy, the oil painting on the cloak is making me seriously rethink what paints I "write off" for mini painting. I knew of an oil painter doing minis on here on youtube, but darn I just didn't quite like the results....seeing it in this case makes me think well oh boy, gotta do a revisit!

    Great vid but why did you skip painting the cloth and face ? Was that on purpose ?

    • @JuanHidalgoMiniatures
      @JuanHidalgoMiniatures  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Because first o didn't have enough time to film everything, if I did that would have been like an hour, hour and a half video, and third because I wanted to try something new for me as an experiment.
      For the bone parts I tried a new paint that I can't really showcase yet and for the green I did an airbrush layer with oil paints on top.
