I've done a few different videos on different ways to paint flames. My go-to method is to start with pink, wash with white, then cover with tranparent yellow.
Which looks good, but doesn't have the vibrancy of a true fluorescent paint. So I wanted to see how bright I could get them - and the brightest, most opaque orange I could find was a spray paint from the local hardware store. The limitations of screens' displays don't really do these justice: in person, the flames almost look like they're glowing!

Looking gorgeous!

@LukeChop 3 месяца назад

love those colours!

@jeffcrumpton6162 3 месяца назад

That's really cool! For some reason, I've never considered using the purple and blue, even though I know you see the colors in real fire. I'll definitely be trying this

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

That was my thinking: trying to pull in more of the colors that do flicker through flames. I'm curious to try something similar but with other color palettes. I like the "texture" that sponging on the ink created.

@Izzboticus 3 месяца назад

I use the 94 brand spray paints exclusively for painting terrain. They're amazing!

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

I picked up a couple more colors to try for scenery: some browns, some rusty reds. They seem like they'd be great for that.

@Izzboticus 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark I really like their greens as well for forest stuff, and their light blues work great for snow colors.

@johnw9038 3 месяца назад

Wow those genies look great. I'm gonna try to do this with all the flames on my Tzeentch units.

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I bet that'd look great. I think Tzeentch flames could look good with a different fluorescent spray too: maybe pink or green? I bet blue ink sponged over fluorescent pink would look neat and create some interesting purple-y transistions.

@johnw9038 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark Ooh, I might have to try that. Maybe I'll use the orange spray for my brimstone horrors and the pink spray for the accent flames on my other models. I'm still thinking about the flame tip colours but leaning towards blues/purples. I'm new to the hobby, just started painting a few weeks ago. Thanks for the tips!

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

@@johnw9038 Post a link to some pics, when you try. The key thing when using the sponged-on inks for the flame tips will be using something that will blend with the base color, since the inks are transparent. So I'd avoid any colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, like I wouldn't layer blue over orange or green over red.

@johnw9038 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark Thank you, I will keep that in mind and I will try to remember the pics. I think I'll get the 3 sprays you suggested then transition them to various purples/blues as appropriate. I'm excited to try this. I will need to wait at least a month though because my parents will pick up the sprays at a shipping depot in the US.

@KinMusicUK 3 месяца назад

Ive used the montana chrome gold on minis before, its really cool. Will have to look into some of their other colours now you have mentioned it!

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

Nice - I was eyeing some of their metallic for the Radjukar. They have a dark bronze/copper color that looks like it might work well as a base coat. I may end up just air-brusing the metallic, but I often prefer spray cans over airbrushing for base-coating a big batch of minis (and I've got 24 Redjukar assembled and ready to paint).

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

Do you have any examples posted of how the chrome gold looks on a mini? I'd be curious to see it.

@KinMusicUK 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark They look great! but I had to use brush on primer over the bits I wanted to paint over as a first layer! May just be part of the very shiny sprays

@matthewmatheny387 3 месяца назад

I've never seen flames done like this. It looks amazing! I might need a substitute for the Montana spray paint but I need to try this.

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

The Montana was the best looking option I found locally, but another bright orange spray would probably work fine, as long as it goes on reasonably thin. I've found airbrushed fluorescents really want to be put on top of white and don't cover other colors that well. I haven't been able to get a similar effect by airbrushing fluorescent paint over an opaque color.

@matthewmatheny387 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark Not even Bad Moon Yellow? Huh. Good to know. That was actually my plan. I was thinking I could just use a Pro Acryl or Army Painter fluorescent orange from a airbrush. Either way, thank you for the tutorial. I'm still going try stippling purple and blue the next time I attempt to paint magical flames.

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

@@matthewmatheny387 If I was going to do it without the fluorescent orange spray, I would probably prime white, airbrush fluorescent orange, then wash with white ink, followed by bad Moon yellow.

@matthewmatheny387 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark Great. Yes. I will 100% try that. You're awesome, thank you!

@packe93 3 месяца назад

Great looking mini! Personally I never enjoyed the Montana Gold paints due to their low pressure, I much prefer their Black line as it's high pressure, but I don't think they have it in fluo colours.

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

Interesting. I'll have to check out the black line. I thought the low pressure was good for a controlled over-spray of orange. For an even base-coat, I could see the higher pressure being better.

@packe93 3 месяца назад

@@JollyLark I just felt it didn't come out as finely misted with gold, but to be fair. A lot of work is done by the nozzles/caps you use. I think "we" want soft and/or skinny

@totallycarbon2106 3 месяца назад

Haven't heard anything about the new turbodork metallics but just looking at this footage they look great! Have you tried vallejo metal colour - and if so how do they compare? VMC is my gold standard but would love to fill the gaps in their colour lineup.

@JollyLark 3 месяца назад

I really like the Vallejo metal colours, but they're not great with a brush; they really want to be airbrushed on. I've only tried the one metallic color from Turbodork so far, but I'm impressed with it's sheen and how good it looks brushed on. I'm going to pick up a silver metallic from the local store this week and try it out. I also really like the new, reformulated metallics from the Vallejo Game Color range. They work will with a regular brush and all look great. I suspect I'll land on using a combination of those and the Turbodork paints.
