Very cool scheme. The limited palette is so simple and yet can be so evocative. It reminded me that when Warhammer Quest Cursed City came out I saw a few people do up their minis in the same style as the box art, which was just red, white and black. The pink and yellow here really contrast so well and the minis make a set of adventurers that both stand out and situate themselves in the weird world of Mork Borg.
i'm a huge fan of the mörk borgs artstyle and i've been trying to figure out a paint scheme for my party that both matches my painting style and honours the distinct vibe of mb. this is some great inspiration!
Thanks for this inspiring video. I saw acrylic paint markers in the crafts store that are made by the same art company that makes acrylic paints. Your video demonstrates how one could incorporate the ease of marker painting into miniature painting that is becoming dominated by folks using airbrushes. Seems to me airbrushing is a much steeper learning curve than markers. Thanks!!
Ouhh airbrushing is definitely more complex than this! But that doesn’t mean it‘s rocket science. I think it’s best to learn the handling by first simply priming minis with it and then slowly try out more and more. I can say that my airbrush is one of the best hobby investments I made. Ohh and thank you for watching 🙂
I love the stylized paint jobs you did here and in the warcry video! The idea of a very expressive style to create a specific, stylized tone for a game is really inspiring awesome work!
This is great to create a "boxed set" where you have specific minis for a specific game and it seems like it would be fairly easy to replicate the scheme for new heroes or monsters.
What's cool about those markers, and I'm certain by now somebody has mentioned them in the comments, but they're often sold under the Bandai Label as "Gunpla Markers" with specific colors tailored to specific Mobile Suit Color Schemes. What's extra cool about them is that you can purchase an airbrush adapter head that lets you substitute a pot for a marker in front of the nozzle and it works WONDERS. By extension, if you ever need to get fiddly details out of the markers, you don't have to worry about matching paint when you can hold the pen vertically and dollop it onto your choice of palette and it'll pool onto it - this is even how the Gunpla Markers recommend they be used, funny enough!
Incredibly evocative and inspiring! Legit gonna drop out my local arts' store next week as I'm certain I've seen this brand in there - had no idea they could be used for such a sick effect. Instantly subbed
This was so cool I can't even put it into words. I just subscribed. Please make more miniatures and maybe terrain in this style. I need to see more of this.
Very interesting video. I have experimented with using cheap nail polish (from dollar stores or that women are done using/tossing out) and had some good results. Resourceful!
This for me is the essential joy of crafting what you describe here! Trying out stuff and see where this leads. Sometimes you get really great results!
@@LenricsRealm yes! For me, it is combining being resourceful with being creative. What do I want to make, why, and how I can make it with what I already have or get for free.
More and more your painting videos are inspiring me to use these simple, high contrast paint schemes on my minis. I think there may be a whole set one day on my table in a similar style. I’m really impressed how well the yellow turned out, it’s one of my favorite colors; which is sad for me as a mini painter!
That's awesome. I got some mörk borg inspired minis to print. Haven't been sure how to paint them, because normal doesn't match up with my expectations. Thanks for the inspiration!
Are these the ones from 'Flesh of Gods' ? I stumbled upon those while searching for fitting minis, but sadly I don't own a resin printer. Would love to get my hands on these.
@@nice-coper2211 I feel you! My fillament printer has reached an age where every time I repair sth another thing breaks down. You could call this thing my printer of theseus :D
Literally just bought a pack of 36 acrylic paint markers in flesh and earth tones for review on a hobby channel I'm starting. Most acrylic paint sets have very bright gaudy colours so finding these natural tones was awesome.
So I joined my wife on an art-store trip with half a mind to copy this idea. She directed me to Posca markers and I bought a set.. not realising those were the ones you had used in this video. Keen to give this a spin myself... especially with the Westfalia Mork Borg minis inbound.
I'm hooked into forbidden psalm and stringing adventures together with my little warband on a custom last war setting of my own design. Fuck ive fallen in love with building this world
Hate to disappoint you but sadly no. But this stuff is running circles in my RU-vid watchlists. So much so that I'm seriously considering ordering some Dungeon Synth Tapes from 'Heimat der Katastrophe' for the game. I just need an old tape recorder to go full analogue!
I think it's a fun experiment and that you succeeded in your goal, I'm not so sure that the art style translates well out of 2D, but the way you blocked color and the use of a limited pallet at least look like a good exerciser.
Yeah I know this is not for everyone. But I hope the video also shows that the painting of miniatures can be more varied than it's sometimes suggested.
Next project: Painting minis with Faber-Castell's colour pencils. 😄 Seriously, though, that's some nightmare level colouring. Mörk Borg must be pretty metal.
mörk borg is pretty damn metal yeah, it's setting is inspired by doom metal and black metal. and the visuals of the book are very punk inspired. the creators are metalheads and punks themselves so it's not just some shitty cashgrab either.
Thank you! I've added the appropriate links to the video description. The blister packs come with two sculpts so you can choose the ones you like more.
The gundam guys been using these for ages, but I never saw an application on our side of the hobby that went beyond weathering or fine point freehands. Eye opening stuff. I been playing this game called mortal sin that has that kinda of look to it too. I wonder if it would work to cy_borg its my favorite setting but unlike mork borg finding models for it has been a challenge, there is a clear lack of leather jacket models on the market BUT perhaps with some bold zine like coloring it might work.
Thought about doing it this way but getting that black marker in the recesses would be an even bigger nightmare than painting yellow over black :D But if I had used only miniature paints, this would probably the way I would have done it!
@@LenricsRealm That's true. Good point, I was sorta wondering why you chose markers but it turned out great! Also, curse you because you got me into Mörk Borg. It's amazingly cool.
Yeah my motivation was mainly satisfying my own curiosity on how these perform. Sometimes there is some kind of ‚meta‘ attitude on ‚how things are done‘. Which is fine but it shouldn’t close one’s mind to trying to experiment with more unusual approaches. Glad you’re hooked to MB though. Happy suffering! 😄
Gunpla markers are a great tool for any miniature painters arsenal. They are fantastic for freehand work and make short work of eyes. Panel lines on any tank or robot. When you need to patch a small section of chipping. I also use Oil pastels for weathering.
well good demo vid me i ues markers to just tutch up Smaill miner fixes if chips and nope sorry just not right and well if think look ok may be me and PINK is not a cloer i will not ues ok i tell you the truth UUGGGG just do not like it just not dun wright if some one hade me one play with i take out one that know got in my poket and i did may just me but i never paint minis like this sorry and shud not post this but i will
