look at old fancy pants
Very fancy indeed. Excellent tutorial John, I can see me stealing a few of these techniques when my set arrives. Just want to say as well the filming quality on these latest videos has been fantastic, the perfect balance of hands on and seeing where the paints going with a nice simple backdrop. If I was to add any suggestions, and it really isn’t necessary as the end result is great it would maybe adding “extra detailed” stage with a few highlights on the red and maybe the yellow sash just to give it even more pop and the flesh… Read more »
It’s kind of nice to not have to paint Grimdark. I did a bunch of SSZ stuff and I think I enjoy painting in a little brighter color range. Love the preshade on the hair that worked out great. Nice job
Very fancy great job John
Ooh a fabulous handy dandy Pirateer John.
Its good to see the foam put to good use. I agree that it does a damn good job as a solid background with the contrast and helps with audio reverb.
Now… that wasn’t Nazdrag Yellow, that was Yellow Blanket contrast paint and we’ll overlook the off camera rimjob.
Overall a good show of the figure in the range. Thinking of minis agnostics, with a poke of the Squirrel Lord, this could work as a great piece for playing 7th Sea as an rpg.
Sorely tempted to do up a bunch of Tercio Creativo’s swashbuckling Spaniards for this…
