This is an additional video I added at a lower pledge level to show people that are interested in the Patreon, but still are unsure about it, how the videos here usually work. It doesn't replace any of the planned, longer videos.
Regardless I hope some of you also find it helpfull and let me know if you would like to see more of these shorter videos!

Apologies for the delayed upload, due to some medical exams I had to take at the end of April, but here is the first PDF for Candy Chan.
I decided to split these PDFs up into sections, as I finish certain parts of it. This is done in order to up the release frequency, because as you know my painting guides usually scratch the 30 pages mark and take a loooot of time to finish. I think it is the better approach to release sections and when everything is done combine the files into a big o...

First Part of the new series and first part of the Skintones. Showing the general ideas behind how I approach and plan skintones and how I blend skintones if I want a smooth finish.
The Idea with this miniature is to do the best quality I can, which means I am going to show you my A-game, which also means the videos will be slightly longer, since I am not taking any shortcuts and I am going for maximum quality.

Episode 3 of the Podcast.

I decided to upload it already and make it early, early access for Patrons. It will not go live on Youtube until April, because it is technically Episode 3 as Episode 2 has been announced, but has not been recorded.
This was super spontaneous, as I jokingly asked Roman if he wanted to record a session and he just said yes....

3 - Gradually adding more Ivory (Vallejo) and Starting to shade the very deep areas (below the nose, under the eyebrows, deep wrinkles) and I overdid it a bit on the cheeks, better to use a mix of Beige Red and your chosen shade-color

First of all: Let me know if you want to see any other aspect of the Imperial Fist Marine covered as a full lenght video tutorial. Maybe something that isn't as clear from the PDF, etc.
In this video I am showing the quickest way to paint the yellow recipie for my Imperial Fists scheme. Working with different consistencies, inks andso on - the video also ties in with the Basics video - try to spot all the aspects I explained about pushing pigments, brush control and so on!

I thought it would be interesting to give a weekly, or biweekly update to what is going on on my table besides the streaming, filming and video editing. So I will make this a regular installment to keep everyone updated.
So, what else has been happening during the last 2 weeks?
I am slowly trying to get ahead of my releases, so the Youtube content can truly be up as a prerelease for Patrons. It took me a while, but I am gaining momentum.
So here is the first episode of the Podcast. We started out talking about how learning about miniature painting changed now and then, as in when I started, 16+ years ago and what Jon tried to do to get to the level he is at now, after only 2 years (impressive!).
Not a big name in the community, but it is not always...

The new painting guide is here! 23 Pages of instructions on how I painted this Miniature.
Next up there will be a video about this dealing with a lot of things I was not able to just describe with words and pictures in this guide and one more video on the Duel that I havent managed to edit yet. After that we will enter a streak of videos that will deal with the questions you guys raised on the discord and your video requests about more basic ideas like brush control and how to properly ...

Here is an extra video for this month. It's going to be one of many in the future - the plan is to gradually also do the ideas (technique videos, etc.) you suggested in the last post like this.

This video shows the whole process of painting a competition level freehand. The video is long, but I think it is good to have it all in one place and I will gradually add a table of content with timestamps for quick navigation in the Youtube comment-section.

2018-12-05 22:50:59 +0000 UTC View PostSo, for those of you who have been watching a wide range of my videos so far, is there a thing (you can of course name multiple things) that you feel like you saw me do a few times but have not quite understood yet?
You guys know that my painting style is one that - even though not at all cost - tends towards smoothness and I realise that my painting therefore is more about brush control and paint consistency, than trademark painting techniqes or shortcuts like capibases or loaded brush....

The most relevant news first: I will be releasing the November content gradually as I finish working on it. Some of it will only go live in December and then I will keep adding the December content additionally. Most of the videos I am currently editing and the PDF for my Golden Demon Duel is almost done (finally) and the new videos are also filmed and only need editing. So, don't worry, the content will go up in the usual numbers, just a bit ...

This video shows my attempt to paint a Frazettaesque skintone to a display/Golden Demon standard. The video is a bit longer than usual, but keep in mind that the goal was to achieve smooth blendings and good contrast and I wanted to show the process thoroughly and comprehesively.
