"Why did I accept the offer of the suspicious man???" 🤣 Because him recommending something other than streaking grime lulled you into a false sense of security? 😜
YES. 100% YES. The thing that I love about that specific shade from the armor, is that it seems to always seems to pick up all the ambient colors of the surroundings. For being so shiny, it does a really good job of actually being kinda stealthy
I would have never believed that was a hand painted model had I not seen the process. That turned out absolutely insane! I really did like both versions of the base as well! With and without the ground textures!
I've not done much wet-blending, and I'm amazed at how roughly the paint is applied at first. I'm surprised that the "suspicious man" didn't offer a pot of streaking grime. The finished mini looks great.
This is one of my favorite TTT video so far. I love how much more time was spent on showing the paint application, which of course was nicely coupled with Murray's narrative. I feel like most of the other videos feel rushed making it difficult to really learn anything. This video taught me a lot, including to be wary of The Starnge Man, but to be open minded at the same time. Oh, that sounded weirder than intended... Thanks TTT!
Hey I haven't seen you in a video before and I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your presentation. The painting is obviously fantastic but I could really follow along with it because of your clear voiceover. :) Keep up the good work
I just love Murrays painting style , the use of colour is so interesting and in the end it really puts the miniature 'in the scene' If that makes sense
Was nice to see someone with a more erratic, colour complex and aggressive painting style. I feel like you get a lot of tutorial style videos that focus on slow calm laying and glazing or just dry brushing your way to easy minis. I’ve honestly had anxious moments of thinking I was weird for sometimes just going into an artist blur and throwing tones at the model that I can clean up later. Seeing someone producing great work with similar pace of work was surprisingly re-assuring.
Thanks Murray, those instructions were awesome - not the "speedy paint to play" but neither "you need to spend 3 month on a model to make it look good". how much time did this take you? Really relatable and useful, right up my alley. I'm in for more of this type of content any time!!
I have been building and painting models and figures since the 1950's and just wanted to say that I think you have some very good ideas and techniques. The end result is an extremely high quality finish and look. I bought a resin printer in December and have been having a blast printing out models and scenery, some of it are designs that I created in Blender myself (because I needed prints of things I could not find). These are truly marvelous times for those interested in this type of artwork. Keep up the great work !
Great to see your work and outlook Murray! The use of pure black for depth and shadow is a little too intense, those deep blues and purples are perfect! Thanks for making this content!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, especially the more artistic approach being applied to mini painting. Mixing colours directly on the armour and avoiding black are both great ways to challenge ourselves as mini painters. Definitely would be keen to see more of Murray painting things :]
I actually have a few models waiting to be painted this weekend, I think I’ll try what Murry did in this video and not use any black. It could be incredibly interesting
something about the figures pose reminds me of those "when your mom is on the phone but you need to talk to her" memes. either that or he just looks so done with whatever hes looking at lmao.
I know that you have to leave a lot of the model with less details and focus on the arias that people are going to look at but the backpack/jetpack is such an iconic part to me
My partner - who doesn’t watch nearly as much as I do - walked in while I was watching this and shouted “WHY IS MURRAY OUT OF THE STORAGE CLOSET?!” 🤣🤣🤣 In other news, you did a bang up job! Very great job as always. The stippling is something I never thought of!!
Really enjoyed this! Please list the colors used of at all possible; I’m extremely curious and it would help tremendously especially as that blue ended up looking so dark.
So this looks like he used a similar technique to the time he painted the second space bear bust. I'm really interested in a deep dive on this. I think I would really like to attempt it myself it seems really freeing and just a neat approach also really like the end result. Only problem is I don't quite understand how he approaches painting like this. Would really appreciate maybe a video going over how he approaches it. Also love the channel keep having fun.
I'd warn you to beware the 'suspicious man' - he swans around, with his unkempt hair, like he owns the place! If I find myself outside Jazza Studios and I have a plastic figure that needs painting, I shall walk in and ask for you, Murray. I'm impressed with your skill, and I'm keen to hear what 'The Jazza' makes of this comment haha!
when I paint black I either use a dark grey or an off black of some kind. if I want a cool shade I'll mix in dark green/blue or something. I don't mind full black TBH if that's what someone wants to paint, it just gives a cartoonish look. I think a lot of cases though, people are not well informed on how to paint black (or white) properly. I definitely use black paint though, I just mix it with other colours.
I'm just chiming in with praise for Murray's painting. During the process it looks like any models he paints are being man handled by a toddler who is covered in fingerpaints but it always finishes super smooth
My 6 year old son wanted to say that he is glad that Murray is ok and he hopes that this model of him last longer than the last one. Also make sure he goes on the charger!
It’s a shame about those print lines, but other than that..... I fucking loved this video, that paint job was awesome. I want to see Murray paint some other larger models, I’d really like to see more of his technique. And more beautiful Murray hands of course.
