How to Paint: Night Lords by Mezgike 

Amen to this, it's so frustrating to see 90% of youtubers painting models with air brushes.

@@Dustbinlid1 Oh yeah, airbrushing is cheating , right? lets do a model per year

@@Dustbinlid1 Honestly.. the tools don't make the artist. Creativity, experience and a lot of practice does. There is nothing wrong with using airbrushing in my eyes. It's not like any beginner can buy an airbrush and end up with great looking models.

@@CamilleDeveveraux I think the point was more if you're a new or new-ish (or poor) painter it can be frustrating to crack open a tutorial and not have the tool you clearly need. I personally play kill team so airbrushing really isn't necessary because I'm not trying to paint 200 Tyranids, just 15. So tutorials like these where all the tools I need are readily available or cheap are always nice.

@@jakoballan2768 Thats true but the entry cost in these paints huge if you do want to follow his tutorials exactly, some of the models he must use like 20 different paint colours. The results are incredible.

?

What's even more bewildering is the amount of like this comment got. Lmao!

Guess he means "guy" like "buddy, thx for uploading"...

@@matthuckabey007 he's confused the saying "absolute lad"

He's not your guy, buddy!

Yeah i agree. It is awesome!!

TerpeneProfile I don’t know if you got the joke or not

top god level

Thanks :) dark bob ross, that’s pretty much me!

Cheers brooks! Always think outside the box. Nightlords have red wings but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the red more interesting, by for example, using a red copper. Try to interpret ‘the norm’ in your own unique way and your minis will stand out.

Oh yeah, I was meant to do that but forgot. Thanks for reminding me, I’ll add them :)

I’m about to record the voice over for the next video, first one in a few months. I’ll keep this in mind, I’ll channel that relaxing mezgike sleep making material. Legendary mate, enjoy your snooze.

You literally don’t need to change a thing. Definitely my favorite miniature artist to watch. :) if I had any suggestions at all, I would love to see some models with some brighter colors. Just to better understand how to highlight and emphasize when everything is already so bright. But that’s just me, a miniature novice. just keep doing your thing!

Thanks my mate :-)

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Well I started making a graveyard type base for him but I wasn’t feeling it. So I thought “what is a simple but striking base idea?”. I thought that a snowy base might be a good contrast to the dark armour, then I just thought about incorporating a battlefield scenario in a cold environment. I suppose when you fight in the snow, enemies fall and become frozen in ice. Then I realised that this is a cool idea, and it seemed a pretty straight forward process; hollow out a base, round it and paint it black so it looks endless, chop a marine in half with his hand poking out, paint him, full with resin and make it look cold. Easy :)

Yeah mate

Haha Mezgike invokes them lucid dreams.

Thanks so much! Yeah my videos are long, I can’t help it haha.

Thank you David. I will be back soon

Сергей Алексеев I’m so thankful to people like you who appreciate my work. That’s why I do it. My new content has been a long time coming due to some personal issues, but there will be new stuff live in a few days! It’s almost ready :) thanks for your support, keep watching!

Thanks, glad you like it

Thanks a lot my friend :-)

Thanks for watching :)

I’m so happy to hear that! Get into it :)

Get some popcorn

Glad you like it :)

Thanks very much!

Thanks :)

Thanks a lot man, I tried to give him a menacing mood.

Thanks mate! Keep on painting and I’m glad that you enjoy the vibes of the video!

Would like to know if you do comission painting :) at least a bit of support

Marc Subirachs thanks so much :) at this stage I don’t do commissions. I appreciate you watching and supporting me very much.

Dee North thanks :) it’s my best base I reckon

James McKay Thanks so much James! The key with this night lords scheme is to use greys and then use blues to tint the grey. Keeps it dark and muted, not so saturated which I think is important for such a dark and mean legion.

@@Mezgike Sounds like a plan! I think my only challenge will be finding a slightly less labour intensive version of this for my rank and file troops. Definitely want to follow this method and go all out with my characters and favourite models, but less so the large squads. Or I'll never get the army finished haha

Thanks bro!

Thanks man, glad you liked it

Thanks glizzy! Wait till you see the next video coming in a few days. Alpha Legion

@@Mezgike guess ill stick around 😆

Thank you :) just keep practising, you’ll get better and better
