I absolutely love those colours. The gold skin against the red energy beams just gels fantastically. Overall an excellent guide, you've definitely earned a thumbs up!
The only thing I can add to this comment section is that you have inspired me and I am certain others as well to try out new approaches to painting our miniatures. Thank you very much Trov!
This is unreal I can’t stop watching this video the way you paint it and break it down Is such a helpful tool. The yirel yellow and the red against the metallic gold colour is stunning to look at. 🤘🤘🤘
This was incredibly elegant! How deftly you used the glazes to produce such a riveting energy effect in particular amazed me. I felt like all of this was clearly explained and achievable. Thank you!
I don't think I've ever sub'd to a creator on youtube after watching just one video. Wow. This was an amazing watch. What you did with the fluorescent paint and blending it in so seamlessly still has me in awe.
Using the oyou... Ouyo... Oi-you.... ...blue stuff/thermal plastic silicone to duplicate basing bits is genius! And a great way to make more bits for bases on the cheap!
This is pretty fantastic. Aside from just painting the model by brush, not just by airbrush like many big minipainting youtubers do (feels great to me since I don't have one), you also subtly explain the value of color theory and really show how powerful it can be. I'm also a huge fan of using washes in creative ways, something I find many frowning upon for some reason, but you've used them in a fantastic way- and not just in this video. Seldom have I subscribed to someone the same day I found them, today I did. Can't wait to see more from you, and you'll be the one on my monitor when I paint the coming days. Excellent.
Fantastic !! Finally got around to watching this this morning... I love this model.. you've definitely elevated it with your own twist to the base.. good work... there's been some great paint jobs on this.. but this is definitely up there with one I might rip off when I get my model... superb work !!
Was super happy when I saw you tease this model after seeing a few others post theirs painted up pre release. Hope to see a few more like this in future for the odd GW release ;) Either way keep it up! Much love from Australia !!
This was my favorite of the Void Dragon minis in the Warhammer Community article about painting them, I just love the colours. I was surprised to see that this looks, well, not easy to replicate, but do-able. Perhaps I'll have a go :)
Great conversion. And love the glow effect on the spear and glowey bits. No sold on the metal skin but fantastic as always to see your thought process and your artistic magic happen.
wow dude. I have to try your approach to metal colours. Personally i feel more comfortable with nmm, but your take on metals is really interesting! the model came out supernice btw!
Great video as always! Absolutely love this new editing approach you are going for - short, sweet and bite-sized. I'm not rushing to buy a void dragon, but I'm going to - well try to, apply the same techniques of matte/shiny contrast to that damned warlord I keep saying I've finished.
Um, wth is this witchcraft? What did I just watch? That was some incredible brushwork. I just watched with my jaw open for 17 minutes. Great stuff, man.
@@jakob9200 If you want a nice red for glow effects there's SEVERAL manufacturers these days offering fluorescent paints, just yesterday i saw a video by Two Raven Studios where he did a *thorough* review of multiple fluo paints from various brands, looking for the absolute brightest ones since he has a project for this, look it up as i think it's the best review of fluo paints for minipainting i've seen (so far, he didn't cover some brands so maybe we'll see part 2 at some point) and you'll likely find the color or shade you like :)
Could you maybe show how to paint nice contrast White Scars. White is very intimidiating for most. I wonder if you would start with Grey Prime to get better transition to white (like apo or ul grey) or with black and build then darker grey, then brigher grey and move slowly to white. Please kindly consider doing full white armor with your "Eavier than Metal". Thank you
Nice video, as always ! Awesome paintjob and awesome composition ! I've a question for you or the community : Vallejo metal color (airbrush) are the best metal colors I have tried so far. I've see lot of miniatures painters using the aluminium color (vallejo), especially for mixing with other paints. - Did they use Duraluminium or Dull aluminium ? and what is the difference ? - Why don't using silver or chrome paint ? - What metal colors did you consider mandatory to possess to not have too much paint but not to be too limited ? (I come back to the hobby after 10 years not painting). Thank you in advance !
Duraluminium - Dull aluminium - I never heard of these colors. Are we talking about the same metallics? silver/chrome - idk! I used these because they are ok. why not use carpaint? why not use color X, why not use color Y, why not...irrelevant really. Use them if you like to use them! you dont need that many metallic colors. a medium tone (Dark Aluminium e.g.) and a very bright tone (White Aluminium) are enough. You can always darken the medium tone by mixing in black or by washing it.
@@trovarion Thank you for taking the time to answer me. It is really helpfull. There is so much "fancy" product for miniatures now. keep up your great work. It is really inspiring and it push me to challenge myself.
Love the video, and your earlier 9th edition Necrons video inspired me to take the same approach with my army. I also use the Vallejo Metal Color Dark Aluminum over a black primer, but I've found that if I use it straight out of the bottle onto a smooth surface, it seems to not cover very well and overall just seems extremely runny. A 2nd or 3rd coat usually does the trick to make it seems like an even coat of metal, but anything less than that it almost looks splotchy. In your video here it seems like the metal color coats pretty thickly on the wings, are you going straight from the bottle to the model when you use it? Do you need multiple coats or does one seem to do the trick for you? Love the content and this model looks amazing! I will likely use most of these tips when painting mine!
Awesome video, simple but effective tecnchique. You´re awesome. I always have truble with Vallejo metal colors, but I use instead Liquid Gold and liquid Silver. If I use them with the brush It seems to be like if I put the brush into a can of glue, it´s very sticky and smells like if has a lot of disolvent. And With airbrush I´ve lot of truble to clean it. I do love the color but I feel it´s too difficult to manage. Do you have the same truble? Any tipo to avoid this? I have to clean always with Whit spirit. Thank you.
I have used vallejo metal colours as well (the big bottles) and I find them super thin rather than goopy. If you need to thin them, I suggest using a couple of drops of IPA, flow improver or lahmium medium helps greatly.
liquid gold and liquid silver are not waterbased as far as i know? they are alcohol based. I don't use them because of that. I only use acrylics.Try the suggestions DeVoice ID Dee recommended!
@@trovarion Thank you so much. I think I´ve purchase the grong material. Indeed are not water based colors. The shine they have is amazing but difficult to use, and the pigment is always stucked at the botton of the bottle. Now I don´t know how to do with this colors...jejeje. Thank you for show me my mistake.
@@devoiceiddee7459 Thank you so much. I really aprecciate you comment. I make a mistake purchasing the product... because the ones that I have are not water based colors... now I´m sure. Thank you so much.
Outstanding work man as always! One question though, for some reason I didn’t think you airbrushes, but you do! Which model airbrush do you use and any tips? Cheers man either though, keep on making these videos
H&S infinity. I have a few recommendation in the comments. But it depends on how you want to use it, if you only need it for basic stuff you can go for a lot cheaper model.
Cool pose and good colourscheme. But I do not like the green parts on the tail. They do not fit well with the rest of the colours. Also, nice tutorial of the blue putty sculpting.
Just a tip for you. When I watch this video I want to buy this mini to try to paint it like you do, so it woul be good for you to insert a link to a shop to buy the mini you´re painting in each video. May be you can get the mini for free and earn some extra money whit this awesome videos you´re doing for us. Other painters has a partnership whit some on-line shops, not GW, but generic ones, retailers...If you know what I mean. It also can work on your Patreon. Regards.
I do like this sculpt but I too thought that all the lightning under him was a little too busy, seeming awkward and drawing the eye away from the ominous figure.
Amazing work! Really love how everything comes together in the end! One question! What kind of emerald is it that you’re using for the stones! Is it the regular emerald from Vallejo? Thanks in advance
Looking great, love the skin especially. Any tips on highlighting with the Vallejo Metal Color? it's so fluid that its sometimes hard to control. Thanks!
I have used the white aluminium for highlights in the past. I tend to get some on my brush then place the brush onto some kitchen roll to soak up some of the more watery bits before applying.
What's that you're spraying the model with after you pin? Varnish? Some sort of spray adhesive? *edit: Nevermind, it's apparently 'activator spray' for the superglue*
@@trovarion Here's a VERY thorough review of several fluo paints from several brands that i found yesterday, comparing them to each other and rating their shades, brightness and whatever, it's a nice thing to keep in mind as fluos are fucking magic: th-cam.com/video/-h0b_OWuLBk/w-d-xo.html
Trovarion out of curiosity as someone who just returned to the hobby after 20+ year break, how much time do you invest in a mini to this quality? The reason I'm asking is that I feel I spend far too much time to get a mini to tabletop standard, we're talking 5 hours for a mini or even more.
it took some time, but not that much, since a lot of it was indeed washes and washes applied through airbrush, which saves time of course. I cannot really say how long, because I don't have a feeling for time when I paint and also I had to film of course, while painting, which dillutes everything a lot more. Ultimately....you should do what you like. If you enjoy taking longer for your minis...take as long as you need. If you are having fun with it, that's what you should do. Unless you are in a hurry to finish an army for an event, you should not rush through it and hopefully people will understand and wont be dicks when they play against part of your army not being painted. And if they don't then you should find some nicer people to play with :)
@@trovarion Oh I don't really paint to play, I paint because I missed painting, but I just feel I keep going back to my minis correcting things and hence never actually finishing a mini. You and Marco Frisoni are my main inspirations when it comes to painting and I just love your and his work.
I've used blu stuff quite a bit. If you are struggling with the stuff sticking together, let the stuff cool down as much as you can, then just add water! Just make sure it's covered, then add your hot piece right on top. If that doesn't work, you can always try the trick used on silicone moulds, talc. Just dust some on and apply the hot piece with most of the water gone. Then you can wash any talc left. Hope it helps!
I have it stick a little, it's usually np for me and helps with less flash forming, imo. But it depends what you prefer of course. DeVoideID made some great suggestions!
I apologize if you've answered this already, but when you use contrast paint like with the stones, do you just add it to your wet palette? I've seen a few people suggest not to, the same with the GW shades? Also, I absolutely love the finish you achieved on this model! The stones look almost like jade, it's a really wonderful effect.
Since I worked 100 hours this week across all jobs...no idea :D But I worked on it somewhere in the ballpark of 4 days, but with filming (which means i had to position cameras, reposition ofr takes, etc. etc.)
