Hahaha, I wanted to check out an older Shatterpoint tutorial to paint some droids but have 5 Clones lined up as well, and here you are posting again exactly what I am looking for without me even knowing. You are the best!
Inspiring work, Sorastro. I love your approach on these and definitely feels like an elevated approach to painting white. I love that you are making color theory understandable and achievable and yet still look effortless, thank you!
Really enjoyed your showcasing three different environments head to head here. White really offers a lot of room to play with the colors from its surroundings. Not going to pure white too soon affords you the opportunity to bring in those bright highlights like you showed with the bright ivory on the ARF trooper.
Currently working my way through the figures from Imperial Assault. I have to say that the Stormtroopers have been the most challenging. Thanks heaps for this!
Sorastro, I feel like I should warn you, whatever eldritch being you must have made a deal with to perform that kind of color theory sorcery, it cannot end well. They are very tricksy beings, and no matter how insane your painting is, I'm sure it won't be worth it! Just looking out for you, man... Seriously, though, I cannot figure out how you do that, I blink once and it goes from strangely blocky colors to a fully realized painted miniature. It's incredible
Hey! I was really just trying to emulate some of the nuances I could see in the movies (Ep.VI - Endor), where I noticed a hint of purple in the shadow and mid tones (that dark brown is also a little purplish).. 😀
im really struggling to start painting with such a variety of colours, i dont undertsnad how im supposed to choose what colours to use and what colours to mix and how to make them flow into each other ??
If you want to work with Speedpaints specifically, I've seen a few tutorials that actually base in pure white (usually ProAcryl), and use something like the "white" Speedpaint to shade it. It helps if you brush over a thin layer of medium, usually the Speedpaint medium, prior to actually painting on the SP. This helps it flow even more.
Dear Mark, impeccable work... you surprise us again with your inspiration, and your ways to bring life to minis; with you the white is not ‘flat’ at all... amazing lesson... So grateful, among so much content, that you continue with the open tutorials...
Incredible work! One little question on Scalecolor artist range. I used them a little and they are super creamy, did you use flow enhancer during the work on the wet palet? Thank you!
Great video. Might try a few of these techniques on the new legion minis. Anyone know where to get those geonosis spires in EU/UK. These are nice but pricey to import from US
Thanks a lot, Alan! I just buy a crap-tonne of stuff from them to qualify for free shipping, but if I was on a tighter budget, it might be pretty fun to simply try making some out of Green Stuff.. 😀
Thank you! Very educative! I usually dread paint white armor and shy away from doing so. Ironically, I have quite a few Warhammer 40K Death Guard (!) models where I‘ve painted white armor with heavy use of browns, beiges, purples, and ivory and it always looked good. Have I been doing it right all along? 😅
Ha ha, for sure! I mean, there's no specific "right or wrong" but it's generally good to incorporate colours from the environment when painting white.. 😀
@@Sorastro Yeah, I guess it always depends. Reminds me of the following: I‘ve seen a short documentary on how they avoided using green screen for the Dune movies since it would reflect the light wrong (instead they‘ve used sand-coloured screens or something like that). I‘ve never thought of miniatures in the context of their environment apart of just blending them into the bases with pigments. Anyway, thanks a lot; your tutorials are always appreciated 🙂👍
Thank you, sir! I don't have a video specific for these bases, but I just used some Vallejo basing paste and some resin pieces from Epic Basing: epicbasing.com/en-gb 🙂
Thank you very much, Kevin! Yes, I'll be covering more MCP for sure! My initial priority is to finish off the last few models from the Earth's Mightiest Core Set.. 😀
Hello, Sorastro! Thank You for your tutorials! Is there any chances to resume tutorials for SW Imperial Assoult miniatures? It would be great! =) P.S. I started my painting hobby with your SW IA tutorials, stormtroopers were the first minies I've painted in my life more than 4 years ago, thanx to You =)
Thank you for the kind words, sir! I'm afraid I won't be returning to SW Imperial Assault, partly because I much prefer the finer sculpts of Legion and Shatterpoint.. 😀
Hello, how come, that you are always told to not let paint into the ferrule and you seem to not care at all 😅. Is it a thing or not? Awesome work as always ❤!
Great tutorial and they all look amazing (as always)! I will be re-watching this in the near future, specifically the middle trooper, as I want to paint the Cur for Oathworn with a white cloak with green shadows due to being in the deep wood.
After watching this, not only do you inspire, but it shows how much further I have to go…and I thought I had already come a long way in my miniature painting LOL
Awesome video as always! The most striking thing to me is how often it seems you kind of paint outside the lines and then just touch it up later. I'm going to try and think of the surrounding environments more like you do :)
Thank you very much! I don't have a guide specifically for these, but it was just some Vallejo basing paste, and some resin terrain pieces by Epic Basing 😀
Ha ha, not at all! The reason is that I knew those are the paints I'd be provided with for my classes at Adepticon, so I thought I'd better try them out to get used to them.. 😁
@@Sorastro that makes sense. I like the paints but I dislike how they act when left on my wet pallet, so I only use them when I have time to paint for a while.
Thank you very much! I hope it's not too complex though - it's really just about throwing some colour into a grey gradient to create a pleasing ambience 😀
@@Sorastro Perhaps "advanced" is a better word! You explain everything very well, I guess I am still just new enough at painting that I stick to more basic methods. I do thoroughly enjoy watching, so in the future I will maybe work some of these techniques in!
