I'm using a lot of different colors in this piece, but the main colors of the blues are vallejo ultramarine 72.022 and magic blue 72.021. The skin is mainly basic skin tone 70.815 and the red hair gory red 72.011 with bloody red 72.010 as highlights. I can show the colors more in future videos if that's what people want.
After your first video I tried this with some oils I had and I have to say, it worked really well on a she-ra model I was working on, well, am working on
Actually, no. That's the beauty of it. You can spray a layer of varnish, let it dry, and then continue painting without thinking of smearing or blending the first layer. Although I can't say that all of the varnish will react to the oil paint in the same way. So you should try with a scrap piece first to see that yours do what you want.
That is a good point, actually. I use only vallejo and a cheap "hobby primer" from the hardware store. I think that the primer makes all the difference. Because it does rub off eventually if I'm being too harsh with the model, but it takes longer when it's primed. On some of the models I paint, I'll seal the paint with a matt primer now and then. You can paint over primers too (may not work with every primer, of course).
Thanks! That's interesting, I'll see if I can try that somewhere in the upcoming videos. Great tip! As for this model, the reason I went with the flakes was because I wanted to mimic the "feather" effect from the movies.
Dammmm dude! We love this comic style! And the way you made the video is amazing, we had a lot of fun and learned a lot!!!!! Congratulations and this style is BRUTAL!!!!! Hope to see more from you! <3
Sure thing! Here's the link to the model. www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ankhsu-309412?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3l_zNo0JQ7EmIgpwUCXAIYX8Ve7aBiOVBKNhbjKYwhN-j5HX505wG4EJ0_aem_Adb6M4MTyPE1bXOwC0gqtvZ3HGPG4bgScSJakEeCqKl8lNN9AE9mVDtXbqHaMGObN7rsFcvMsOKHlhBZr9PPQuEh
Impressive work! We loved the video and loved how you combined the two skin tones! It gives it a unique touch! Congratulations and thanks for sharing! <3
I'm really grateful, thank you! The rest of the model is painted in a timelapse at the end. It's a bit smaller than planned due to a camera problem, but I assure you, I'll make it even better next time!
@joejvitale Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I can't do it in real time on RU-vid since that video would be many hours long, and therefore, the "algos" will hate my channel. But bear with me, and I will come up with something good in the next video.
@@GhosthatArts Not the whole thing in real time but look at what others do like GroundEffected and The Creative Collector. Those are still about 10 minute videos
Mi amigoooo! ❤ Congratulations on your first video! ❤ We love to see this kind of content in the community, we love to learn together!!!! The eyes are among the most complicated parts and with these tips we know we will all get better! Thanks so much for sharing and keep it up!
I appreciate your comment! I have a lot of exciting plans for the upcoming tutorials, where I'll be exploring various techniques for painting miniatures with oil paints. Is there anything particular you'd like me to include in this topic?
Hello there! Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, the technique mentioned is not very suitable for acrylics as they tend to dry quite quickly. When working with acrylics, it's best to apply multiple thin layers to achieve the desired shades and tones. You could also consider using soft pastels or pastel pens as an alternative. This technique also works on that. Would you be interested in learning more about it through a tutorial?
