Today is a very special day indeed, today the channel broke the 10k subs mark!!
A massive thank you to all that supported me, but I want to thank specially my much beloved Patreons, and for that reason I want to make a very special giveaway amongst all of you.
I have 10 copies of my Knight Exemplar sculpt left, and I'm not going to make any more, for a very long time at least, and I want to give them away to my Patreons FREE OF ANY CHARGE, here is the guy in question:
The giveaway is going to be like this:
- Patreons of the 10$ tier or above will get one automatically, IF the number of those Patreons excede the number of copies I have, I will start giving them away starting from the oldest registered Patreon and going down the list.
- The rest of the Minis will be raffled amongst the rest of the tiers randomly.
I wish I had enough copies to give one to each of you but I don't sadly. I will draw the winners by January 31th, so if you want to enter the raffle OR want to be sure you get one join the Patreon BEFORE that date.
In February I will change my Tiers btw, I will remove the largest tier and change the benefits to the 20$ tier from a recipe to direct feedback and support on one mini that you want, twice a month.
As always guys, Thank you VERY MUCH for watching my videos and THANKS for the constant and amazing support.
Hi guys! My birthday is tomorrow and k I went and got myself a little treat. This is one of my most favourite sculpts GW has ever done and I'm using it for a full video tutorial.
I present you
DA RED GOBBO
This will be my first ever CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! Super excited to get started with this guy. Expect this video around the 20th of December.
As always, Thank you for your amazing support and I really hope you enjoy this one.
The Space Wolf armour colour has been a pure nightmare to fine tune, throughout all the other marines I kept going on and on working on him and even now, when I sat down to record the video I HATED the recipe.
So I got back into fine tuning it AGAIN
This is the final result and I'm extremely pleased with it
This is the recipe:
- Basecoat Grey Seer - Apply two coats of this mix: 1 Part Apothecary White, 1 Part Space Wolves Grey, 1 Part Guilliman Blue - Edge highlights of Fenrisian Grey, a 1:1 mix of Blue Horror and Fenrisian and Blue Horror
I feel bad to use Guilliman Blue but it's the only easy way to get the blue tint without overpowering everything.
I will give alternatives in the video for how you can make it yourself.
And what an adversary! No other than ANGEL GIRALDEZ! Oh man what have I gotten myself into...
Angel got in contact with me because he wanted to make a collaboration with me, which btw I'm extremely honoured, and I let him pick the subject.
He chose a challenge! We both will paint the exact same miniature in JUST TWO HOURS. One part of the challenge will be on his channel and the other on mine. Who will win? Well, who knows! 😂😂
I got to choose the mini so I picked him:
Anyways I have a plan, first of all he is quite simple, not many elements but still cool and has a sword I can make something fancy with.
Secondly I actually primed him zenithally! First time doing so
That will help me with speed using Contrast of course. I will then decide depending on time if I do extra Highlights but I almost certain I will do some on his armour.
He will be.....
A BLOOD RAVEN!
Stay tuned for more news on this. The videos will be released on December so it will be a long wait but you guys will get the final pictures and my painting video much earlier.
Hi! Let's take a look at what it's next to come, first of all on Saturday a video on basing using painted sand and rocks is dropping, the video its already finished I just need time to upload it and do the final touches.
Around October the 10th the Salamanders video will be released, already started recording it, you can see the recipe tested on what later became the Blood Angel Intercessor.
The recipe is:
- Basecoat of Corax White
- Apply Iyanden Yellow very thin, don't let it pool you just want a very thin layer of yellow - Apply Warp Lightning a normal coat, but try to be uniform with it
- Apply a Glaze of Warp Lightning to intensify the green tone, you can apply a second coat of this towards the lower parts of the panels to add panel modulation
- Shade the recesses with Dark Angels Green
- Edge highlight with Moot Green
- Smaller Edge Highlight with Flash Gitz Yellow
- Dot Highlight with Dorn Yellow
Moving on the Space Wolves recipe required a ridiculous amount of testing, the initial recipe required 4 parts pf white, 4 parts of Space wolves and 1 of Talassar, you can see it here:
That was ridiculous and a bit too bright, so I changed it a bit (less than you would tell) and started from Greyseer instead, final recipe for the base colour is:
- 1 Part Apothecary White
- 1 Part Space Wolves Grey
- 1 Part Gryph-charger Grey
This ends up with a super nice baby blue color, that is not too bright not too dark (like the Space Wolves contrast)
And we get to the mess that is black armour using contrast paints. I have to tackle Raven Guard, their armour is BLACK, not just black, its SUPER BLACK. I could easily start from Mechanicus Standard Grey and do two coats of Black Templar, but Why? I would then have to Edge Highlight everything, so why not start from a black spray and just edge highlight everything? that's two steps less and a better result. I don't want to do contrast when it's not useful or necessary, so I won't.
There is Black in the Salamander Backpack, that wil be done with contrast as it is a faded black and also in the Iron Hands armour, that I will do in a metallic black. So there are two methods of using contrast to do black armour and that is more than enough I think.
