My dear supporters,
I’m back from Italy and excited to share the final reveal of the Kroot with you here as early access!
A full tutorial, behind-the-scenes insights, and plenty of video material are coming soon, but for now, enjoy the finished pictures. :)
Best,
Lukas
As a complement to the PDF, here is the full-length video to make it easier for you to recreate this look. Hope it helps, happy experimenting :)

Dear Patreon,
In today’s tutorial, I’m diving into true metallics—sharing some tips and tricks to make your metallic paints really pop. I’ll also touch on tinting, which adds a fun twist and extra depth while painting.
Enjoy Experimenting

Dear Patreons,
I’ve prepared a little tutorial for this piece — a very simple but effective backdrop if you’d like to try making one of these for the first time. 🙂
I’ve also included a video to help you better understand the “light map” and the direction of the airbrush. Have fun experimenting!
Best,
Lukas
I wasn’t planning on releasing this, and it’s just a super quick one with some steps missing, but someone from the community asked for help, so I put together what I had recorded.
Hope it helps.

Dear Supporters,
As mentioned before, I’ve made some changes to the Tier Levels to make them less confusing and clearer. These changes are now live, and they should not affect you if you’ve been a member (except for the Early Bird tier, which has ended after ~1 year 🙂).
New: on the 1st day of the month the Feedback Level can now insert their WIPS and i will do a feedback session, like a live online workshop :)

In combination with the previous PDF, this should help you get a better understanding of how to approach stippling. I’ve included footage showing a slow, a moderate, and a super-fast approach.

In this one, I'm covering a lot: how to paint black armour, how to paint red non-metallic metals, applying decals and blending them into the surrounding areas, fluorescent OSL, natural lantern light OSL, the face, and all the metallics.
Hope it helps—enjoy, peeps!

This is a theoretical approach and there’s more to read, but these are the fundamentals to keep in the back of your mind when learning OSL.
