A Weekend With Angel: How To Paint Infinity Kum Riders Part Two!
January 17, 2015 by crew
We're back for the second part of this tutorial from Angel Giraldez who is showing you what you can do to make your Infinity Kum Riders look utterly fantastic using airbrushes and paint from Acrylicos Vallejo!
If you missed out on part one that can be seen HERE. For now though, let's get back to the painting!
21) Picking up where we left off this is another view of the work we've begun on the rider.
22) I applied a wash with a mixture of 50% Flat Earth and 50% Black Red.
23) Another view of this wash application.
24) The first highlighting now begins with an application of a mixture made up of Colour Base and Sunny Skintone.
25) Another view of the highlighting work.
26) The second highlight is applied with a mixture of 30% Medium Fleshtone and 70% Basic Skintone.
27) Take another look at this technique here.
28) I then painted some tones with Cavalry Brown and Orange Brown onto his face. I also painted the beard with a mixture of 40% Colour Base and 60% Dark Prussian Blue.
29) Another view of this step.
The Kum Rider is really coming along and it's insane seeing the amount of effort that goes into painting the skin!
Tomorrow we'll finish off the Kum Rider and show off the full miniature in all it's detail!
"The first highlighting now begins with an application of a mixture made up of Colour Base and Sunny Skintone."
Just amazing!
And Dark Prussian Blue for the beard, I’d never guessed.
The beard colour is exactly what I was going to comment on. Prussian blue plus the base skin tone. I’ve experimented with the effect before but always used some variety of dark grey or brown, which is probably why it has never really worked for me.
Don’t take this the wrong way as I love that you’re posting this up for those that haven’t seen it. But isn’t this just the stuff he posted on his facebook page..?
Was wondering why you needed to split it into 3 parts on your site rather than just linking to the album?
Genuine ponder, not meaning to come over as arsey.
Yes it is it was all posted last April, I love BoW and the hard work they put into everything else they do so was surprised at how lazy this seems.
To be fair lazy would have been throwing up a link.
1) Were only getting started (and picked this as it did win best paint job)
2) We split into three to keep the layouts manageable and spread over three days just reduce impact on the content flow and introduce the idea of ‘weekend with angel’ etc
4) the team edited every single image in the tutorial to remove empty space etc and improve the looks and impact of the tutorial
We hope it builds into a really nice series 🙂
There was nothing ‘lazy’ about the effort that went into it 🙂
Opens up a wider audience and gives us a teaser as to what else is to come from an Angel/BoW collaboration.
Yeah, I guessed that might be the reason. 🙂
A link could have done that just as well. I suppose it does neaten it up a bit though. 🙂
WOW just WOW what more can I say.
Does anyone else look at Angel’s guides and think “yea I reckon I could give that a go, should be achievable if I study the step by step pictures and take my time” only to then pick up the actual mini and it dawn on you how small the models and details painted are in real life!
The guy does amazing work!
It’s easy. All you need is a good brush, a steady hand and about 10 years of practice 🙂
And a bucketful of talent. 😉
