Livestream No.3 Ogre Chef

Recap: In this session I've encouraged myself to repaint the green skin into a red skin, with purple underglow. I like it much more now, and it gives me more room to achieve better contrasting elements.

For the skin I used:

SC deep red

SC indian shadow

GW bugmens glow

SC pink flesh

Fallen Knight Recap

Hey folks, 

today I want to share a recap video about my first painted fallen knight version, some thoughts about the light and the used colors. Like I mentioned before, I had no video material of the painting, but I blacked out an armor plate, to demonstrate the usage of the colors here. 

Have fun

Painting Purple Pale Orc Skin

Hey everyone,

today I wanted to share my go on a purplish pale orc skin on this cool orc warlord model from yedharo miniatures. I think we all are fed up with green orks nowadays xD, so why not go for a cold unnatural skin. 

I will post some pictures soon, so here is just a video first. 

I also offer all yedharo models in my etsy shop if you are interested. The details are supersharp in the printed versions.

Painting Fallen Knight Part1

Hello everyone,

I know I'm late with content, and to make things short, I had some bad painting sessions, actually planned as videos, but somehow ended up in the bin. Please don't think I do always right. 

While I saw the first wip pictures in the discord of everyones Fallen Knight model, I wanted to paint a second one after the first take, which you maybe saw on IG. You will see it in the video. But I've decided to do a different version, with different colors. And this time...

Medieval helmet NMM

.....or how simple shapes become hard challenge.

Hi people,

Today I want to share a requested video about painting metal on a round plain shape or helmet in this case. I know, many painters having hard times with big surfaces and placing reflections properly. I feel that, it's a tricky task for sure.

It was definitely an interesting process for me, and I also had a bit inspiration of some masters and their works on historical models.

Have fun watching and feel ...

Painting Dr.Doom mask

Hi everyone,

today I want to share the initial steps of the mask NMM painting of this amazingdoctor doom bust by eastman. This work was very tough for me, because of the scale, there are very large empty surfaces without any details, so it screams for painted details, and my own creativity was challenged. I get stucked many times and never felt satisfied. At the end the cold light effect against the warm green yellow made it interresting enough for me, to be happy with the result.

Last day for entries and future stuff

Hi everyone, 

today is the last day for all entries for the NMM challenge. Many members already fired up their NMM canons, and posted their final pictures. 

The level is higher than expected, and I saw many painters who raised up their own bar for this competition, and that is already a win. Honestly, thats the actual winning prize, that was the hidden achievement behind the whole comp.

Whats next: Tomorrow I'll share all pictures with Antonio, and he has the grate...

Painting Grim Metal NMM

Hello everyone,
today I share a video of the grim silver metal NMM on the dragon knight by Alexei Konev with you. It's a bit tricky to achieve this type of textured beaten metal look, but I'm very sure, you peeps will rock that style soon on your own minis. 
Furthermore I'm blown away by all contributors works for the NMM challenge. The level is incredible in the discord, and it's still enough time to join and participate. I want to thank all of you, you make this challange great. ...

Green Knee

Hi guys,

this is another recorded session of the painting of Zweitung Blutnagel, where I painted the shapes around his knee. It's the same palette as from the face painting, therefore I did not commented the video. But for all who want to watch the process, I wanted to share it any way.

Testing Copper NMM

Hi everyone, 

today I want to share my testing with copper NMM with you, where I use different paints and colors for some convincing copper effect. I find painting copper somehow difficult, because it has a little sweetspot where it looks like copper, too much yellow and brown would be interpreted as gold quickly. Too much red, would be read as red metal. 

So have fun watching and feel free to discuss your thoughts with me in the discord.

Cheers

Painting textures on the shoulder pad

Hey dear people, 

today I want to share the painting process of the shoulder armor, where I create some texturing and a scratched look. I realized after editing this video, that we should dedicate a more analytically tutorial about the textures topic, to explain it (try at least) a bit better. 

Textures like this can be used in many different materials, not only armor, also leather, stones etc. Even when you always use the same pattern, it adapts well with the material.&...

Making of Angharad Brightshield Part 3

Hi peeps,

I hope you are still healthy and cheerful in these strange times. Today I would like to share a few things about the third part of Angharad.

In the video we deal mainly with the front of the breastplate. It was almost 4 hours of video footage in total to edit, and there could easily more if I hadn't set a stop point.  

To be transparent, the video has a black value correction, which means that the black values are sometimes not really black in the original vid...

Update of Angharad

Hey everyone

while I´m preparing the next videopart, which will be uploaded today or tomorrow, I want to share the latest image of the current painting status of Angharad. Hope you like, where this is going. The most challenging part is to add damage structures, without looking unnatural, and still keep the shine. There is definitely a learning curve while im proceeding, and I hope the overall look will be one level. 


Have a great day!
