oh sick man, i love that cracking effect. i wonder if you could get some tiny purple/pink marks on that black sword like sigils or something to make the shape of the sword pop a little more? looks freaking rad tho
I used my pro acryl black through the airbrush. I've also brushed it on top, you just have to be liberal with the paint and gentle not to go through the glue layer. I'd imagine that you could use a regular spray can, again make sure you don't spray through the glue though.
Did you put a varnish on before doing the oil wash? I tried this a little ways back and i didnt. So when i tried to remove the access wash, the paint came along with it.
I usually try to varnish before using heavy washes that I plan to physically remove. If you wait a day for the paint to cure more it'll be easier to avoid damage without varnish but I think it's always better to add the protection.
You mean, glue, baking soda for texture then paint on that? I would think it would as the glue can still dry and shrink which is what causes the paint to crack.
Alright, picking any one aspect of this video would be doing everything else in it a disservice, so I'll try to be as fair as possible. As to the black 3.0, when used like that, I think the effect came out awesome. Suddenly, out of a bunch of (outstandingly) painted little guys, he stands out by that feature alone. As for the little guys themselves, I've always been partial to their color schemes, and you knocked these guys out of the park. I'm aware of my own bias, but those guys look outstanding. Best descriptor I can come up with, that doesn't sound disingenuous. And finally the bases; man- for that little effort (no offence meant, obviously), I cant believe how good the result winds up being. Outside of the effort it would've taken, my only question about it would be why you didn't opt to pin them instead of glue 'em. Outside of all that, a fantastic video all around, and in before the holidays, to boot. I hope you and yours have a great Christmas and new year, and we'll see you in the next one. Take care.
Thanks for the thoughts and kind words HP! I don't take any offense at all with the base comment, that's the absolute beauty of it. I think that'll they'll probably be the next full tutorial I make. As for why I didn't pin... I got excited to see it come together finally and rushed it. You're correct that it's the right choice in this situation though.
@@OriginPainting Hey, you're welcome, and I can't wait to see a full video on the bases; they really do look great. And I definitely understand the excitement of wanting to finish the miniature- so I hear you on just gluing the little bastards to the base instead of pinning 'em. Just wondered if you didn't figure it was worth the effort, is all. Thanks for the reply, and again, have a good one.
Yeah, the end effect want quite what I wanted. I was hoping that the big contrast between the flames and the pure black would really pop but it just didn't come out as strong.
