My friends; here is my video of how to paint a Drukhari Archon, converted from the Ynnari Visarch. In this video, you're going to learn how to paint a sinister Dark Eldar bad fella. You'll see how to give him a specific mood, as though he's inside his malevolent battleship and create a base that features a freehand space scene, as he watches his fleet sail to war through the glass floor of the bridge.
This video shows you how to paint dark green xenos armour, a smooth husk blade, soul stones, a pale evil face and some pink arcane power glow. The video covers my caveman colour theory as well as some of my tricks on how to conceptualise unique miniatures. As you were.

@adamnutterofficial 4 года назад

That was spellbinding. I will never possess the eloquence to describe how profoundly beautiful your work is. Not only in this instance of course. But for me, what you have created in that base is nothing short of an artistic miracle. You have literally opened a portal to another world. I could gaze upon that and forever be intrigued and mesmerized by its depth.

Thanks for the feedback! I usually have a very specific idea in my mind of how the model should look. I also try to achieve new things that people haven’t necessarily seen before.

@AllGodsDue 3 года назад

You haven't posted in awhile, but I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. They have been the best painting tutorials I have followed by far. I was brand new to mini painting and I was depressed with how bad I was, but following your methods has allowed me to paint pieces that look like someone who has been doing it for years. Thank you so much for the education.

@Mezgike 3 года назад

You’re welcome my friend. Sorry for the delay with new content. It just takes a long time for me to make them. Also I’ve been working on something cool which will be out soon. Keep painting, keep pushing yourself and keep learning. Remember if it’s easy, try harder! Mez

@abelbabel8484 4 года назад

@@Mezgike I've recently taken interest in painting again after almost 10 years pause, and damn, you've already taught me a lot. Both old things I finally wrapped my head around now and radically new things I'd've never ever thought of - water colour and color pencils, man. The hobby sure has evolved while I was away.

@Mezgike 4 года назад

Abel Babel I just like to try new things. You should too, just experiment. Some things work and some don’t. Each experiment teaches you something, though, and that makes you that much better at painting :)

@@Mezgike Thank you so much for the time and effort that go into these fantastic videos, and your generosity to put them up for free. You rock.

@Lostmasquerade 3 года назад

I think these are the best series of painting tutorials out there. The reason being is the effort put into the before (preparation of the mini/splitting of the sub-sections) and the after (prepping cool base ideas), as well as the general commentary throughout the video. The first time around I watch them, then I have them running in the background almost like a podcast while I am painting. Focusing on the words spoken it is surprising how much you take in whilst doing your own work. I'm keen to see the video about your setup and to see what you are going to paint next. Good work!

@BrettHolt-uk 8 месяцев назад

@jtyler3196 4 года назад

awesome video and a fantastic paintjob man! Something I learned from my ventures into scale modelling, regarding clear plastic and resin repair and polish. next time, rather than gloss coating the resin (which btw you can still do afterwards) Try wet sanding the resin in gradually increasing the grain count. So, for example, start wet sanding at 800/1000 grit, then go finer to a 4k/6k grit so on and so forth, until you get to 12k and you will end up with a completely clear and smooth resin finish.

@craigo1981 5 лет назад

I'm nowhere near your level of skill but I feel you with the eyes mate. I tend to just paint the whites and while I try to be neat as I can I've stopped caring too much about going outside the lines. After the whites are done I just go back to tidy up with whatever flesh colour I've used for the rest of the head. I find it much easier to paint the outside of the eye than trying to get the white paint neatly into the socket. But yeah, one of the trickiest things to do in my limited experience. Wish someone would invent a tool to do them right first time! I've just found your channel with this video, love the video and your style. Lots of great painting wisdom in there, subbed and notifications on.
