How to Paint Diseased Flesh (Nurgle) - HC 328 

That's always the goal. I never want people to feel like they have to do what I do. Rather, my goal is always give you the information and have you go from there. :)

Thank you, the journey to improvement continues. :)

Thats wonderful to hear and I am always happy to help. :)

The die has been cast. ;)

Never lose the groovy end music. :)

Awesome. :)

Yep, you see this heavily in Frazetta's work amongst many others. :)

Great question, so if you're doing darker skin tones, the same rules still apply, add in that yellow, especially in the highlights, and make some spots of red/pink to show the buboes. Depending on how dark the skin tone, you can also still use the purples to great effect.

Than you, the journey continues!

Always happy to help.

Trying to learn and improve. :)

You're not wrong there.

Thank you, that's wonderful to hear, and you may have some more vampire action coming soon. ;)

Totally agree.

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome. :)

Thank you, the road to improvement continues.

Death Guard are really fun to paint, totally agree.

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear! Still working on it for sure.

Puns are always what I'm here for. :)

Awesome, glad to hear and still working on it. :)

Always good to have a real life reference. :)

More than welcome. :)

No worries! Glad it's coming along.

Wonderful to hear. :)

I mean, I've done some Khorne in the past, they release a new Valkia and I will be doing that.

Awesome, thank you!

Wonderful to hear.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the idea! :)

We're getting there.

Thank you!

Thanks, still looking to improve.

I'll add it to the list.

Yep, working on lots of improvements. :)

We're getting there.

I believe it was a deep green, I honestly don't remember what it was, but any hunter green would work, and then built up through the bright pastel green in the golden so flat with a little of the yellow mixed in.

Trying to increase that crispiness.

This is a great idea, this is very much worthy of a video.

Thank you!

The apron is the only thing that sort of protects my clothes. ;)

Never played it, but I like it.

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure what happened, but it's added now, thank you. :)

Yeah, this was my one chance. :)

This was just a green grey paint over my standard german panzer grey. Just very thin and a few applications. :)

Yes indeed.

Awesome.

Yep, you're correct, I used a slightly green grey for it.

ALways happy to help.

Happy to help. :)

I think that sort of a progression would totally work.

I happened to have already made just such a video (for squigs even) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RwFIhuQZGeY.html

@@VinceVenturella Thank you. I thought / assumed / expected you had done a video on it. But when searching 'hobby cheating skin flesh red demon' the video you linked did not show up in the youtube search.

Thank You. :)

1) Sure, though I generally like adding a little more pink and purple to them, to make it seem more like monstrous skin. 2) As above, but you could also really push the yellows, as it's a monster, people won't bring the same expectations.

I'm not sure there's a specific definition for futzing, but if I tried to explain it, as I understand it, it's: The application of paint in a non-mechanistic manner. Rather than trying to follow a component based process (e.g. apply skin colour 1 to X, Y, Z parts, apply skin colour 2 to X, Y parts, apply skin colour 3 to X part = skin) (which is super useful for doing the initial groundwork) Futzing allows you to 'futz' with the component process and give it more... context? Like you are combining the mini as it is with the basic premise of the paint scheme to give one whole thing, rather than have a mini + a paint scheme on top. This then gives me the way I've been trying to use it (certainly not the only or best way!): You start with an broad idea of the feeling you want skin to evoke, you look at what you have very critically, you put a bunch of paints on your palette, and then play with the colours, using different techniques until it feels right. It's impossible to pin down any 'one' thing that it does. You can still standardise it to a degree, but you standardise the process as a collection of techniques, rather than a set of components. I guess compare it with baking a cake. Once you've followed the outline of the recipe and it's come out of the oven there's still more that affects the experience of eating the cake. How long you let it stand, whether you decorate it, how you present it, what environment it gets eaten in, the mood of the person when they are eating etc (the list is endless). Unless you do the recipe right, there's only so much you can improve a poor cake. But if you follow the recipe ok, you can then take a solid cake and elevate it by making it a more identifiable thing in any particular way by adding to another part of the overall experience. I.e. A basic chocolate cake is good to eat. A basic chocolate cake with some writing on adds to the personal 'region' of the experience of eating cake and is good to eat. A basic chocolate cake made into a 40k mini is totally novel and unique in a way that changes the purpose of the cake so that it's such an identifiable experience it's almost more like art, and is good to eat. Futzing is the second part of this. Adding to the mini in a way that fits with what you are attempting to get the mini to express. Not sure if that makes sense, likely not a good explanation :D. But if you can get behind the idea of futzing it really changes how one sees the model (or at least it's certainly changed how I see it). Worth doing some more looking into.

Today is the day. :)

I would recommend this technique here (or something like that) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PqJm9gEHgn8.html

Oh brilliant I haven’t seen this one yet. Thank you so much

Sure, I have many friends who aren't painters or are varying levels of painters.

Like, how scorched, if completely schorched, it's just black texture with a grey drybrush. ;)

@@VinceVenturella I mean I tried something like that but I don't feel like it ever came out quite right. They also don't know that you want to go quite that scorch that have it pull off a truly real looking effect... But maybe I'm wrong.

@@xenoterracide No you're right, it won't read, because there is no context. We only recognize a scorch by the "not scorched" things around it. It's just a pile of carbon ash. So ideally, you would have a "scorch line" or scorched area in that method, that would fade at the edges to brown and have a few spots of hot orange cinders, but then the rest is grey ash. Basically, take a charcoal grill, dump it on your lawn, paint that.

@@VinceVenturella Good analogy but... Even when I've tried to do it next to earth it hasn't come out anywhere nearly correct :'( I find basing especially difficult on smaller bases like 32 mm. Hence this being an idea for a video ;).

It's added now, sorry about that.

None at the moment, but soon, there will be some options, stay tuned. :)

Forunately, I have videos in the playlist on all of that as well, so if you have any questions on paint dilution, check those out or just ask them here. :)

I'd mix a little in, then move to full on glazing down to the extremities.

Old or new board game, the old one (the better one IMHO) you don't have to look at his face. ;)

ROughly that is about right.

Hello back to you.

Working on it :)

So Ice Yellow, Cold Yellow from Kimera, Hykey Yellow from Scale 75 - all of those are in the same area. But anything that looks like a bright white/yellow will get you in the space.

Amazing.

This was a missed opportunity not to include this.

@@VinceVenturella Sit on it for a few episodes, and trot it out on another nurgle video. Mum's the word.

That's the appropriate response.

I mean...yes. ;)

It is indeed, on the bright side, there will not be a lot of nurgle on the channel. ;)
