For this particular model and color scheme, I feel like a rich, bright silver would work better than gold. I agree the turquoise addition was the right call because it contrasts so well with the orange hues of the shell. But that's about it, my dude, and obviously its just super nitpicky on my end. Gorgeous model, beautifully done!
Really nice display of how the techniques you use are not simply for shading, but mixing colors together in a harmonious way. Really opens up the designs you can use it for.
Easily my favourite painting channel on YT now, love you guys. Learned so much from your channel and, I would consider myself a decent enough painter, but you have really opened my mind to the power of drybrushing and stippling. Thank you!
I love how that turned out! I plan to do mine with a very similar color scheme but I'm going to push the shell highlight more towards yellow and try for some radiating streakiness per my reference photos. A lot of people don't realize green sea turtles aren't green.
Cheers dude! Got me severely tempted, I don't think two is *awful* in a list... the idea of 2 awesome minis covering nearly 50% of an army is always seductive... half way there :D
That’s breathtaking! Thank for an idea! I’d try to get a neon-like effect by painting over the crevasses with a translucent green or yellow after the initial white wash has dried. And combine it with some crackled earth texture paint on plain primaris armour could maybe lead to a sickly glowing on slowly-rotting-alive astartes that may or may not have been subjects to some heretical experiments or unholy mutations
Amazing work as usual :) You said you weren't sure you had to varnish before the oil wash but you chose to be safe, well you chose right as the oil thinners will eat through the acrylic paints and the oil paint will then push the acrylics away from the surface, so you have to varnish before oil washes unless you painted the all model with oil paints.
Amazing, I am so glad that I did! There's some complicated interaction here that I've heard about with enamel washes, I am sure I can't quite remember though😊Thanks so much!
I have used oil washes for decades and I have models that were painted in acrylics 10 years ago and no varnish was used, and they are still perfect. It may well depend on your paints and what thinner you used.
Awesome paint job! I'm just about to start an idoneth army painted in vibrant bright colours; blues, pinks and fluorescent colours. Deffo getting a turtle model now too! Turtle power!
@@ArtisOpus the eels are going to have fluorescent pink stomachs and baby blue tops with golden armour. I will try and have blue across all the models so they have a matching colour. I've been looking at tropical fish for inspiration on colours.
OMG yes, dude that looks awesome. I'm so hyped by the big and bright; yet it looks so dope. Yo this is so dope man, i am so hyped to see all your future content.
That turtle looks amazing mate, beautiful job! Still think you should put some elephants on his back though..... Also, if you want to save even more time with oil/enamel washes, try something called oil expert by a company called VMS, you can use it in place of thinner and it speeds up the drying time a bit and smell significantly less than white spirit does, I was a little dubious of it at first because it is purple, but it turns out that it doesn't affect the hue of the paint at all! It's good stuff basically, give it a go!
Another quality video - the amount of variation on the is channel is great, love all the new ideas! Really inspires me to get painting and try some of this stuff out! Keep up the good work!
Amazing as usual. Really enjoying watching your videos. I find them very inspirational and gives me soo much tips and ideas on stuff I wanna try out myself. Keep up the amazing work you do.
Brand new warhammer and Idoneth player here. I have only painted a few stormcast before for practice and learned so much. I am really excited by this tutorial. What did you use for the ruins there? I love that idea since I'm not a fan of the transparent stands either. Don't know if I'd do that for all the miniatures like the eels but for the turtle it looks great. Love it!
Another model where you do an amazing paint job and make it look easy! Finally ordered myself the series D set, gonna paint all my primaris using series D and your salamanders video to help :) Can't wait :D
Dope model. It's laborious but easy enough to replicate. Thanks for sharing I do not own any model that will require to be painted in such a fashion but I know were to go if I ever get one.
This is amazing. I’m not very confident in my hobbying but with videos like this you make it look so doable to turn out something amazing. Not sure if you’ll see a comment on a 3yr old video but do you mind explaining how you did the metallics? I’ve been struggling trying to paint undersea oxidized looking metallics and yours are perfect. Nicely understated. How did you do them?
Wow!! An amazing final result. Just wondering about the oil paint - could you do a video talking about the different types, and compare/contrast them to regular mini paints (i.e. GW, Vallejo, Army Painter), as well as various techniques how to use them? And did you wait any time for the oil paint to "cure" before starting the next steps? I've seen other painters leave oils to dry overnight...
Hey, dude, curing time wasn't very necessary with this due to its exclusively being in the recesses. Great suggestion, however, I'm going to need to drastically raise my level of knowledge before approaching anything like that as I'm far from experienced myself. 😊
"Still wish I did it turquoise" Haha you are obsessed with that colour, so many turquoise paint jobs already! Love how this turned out though, really impressed with the cheating white, might look into oils myself now Ive seen how easy and helpful they can be..... might be a new year job though, christmas and a toddler means no hobby budget this month haha
If you were doing turquoise on the scales, would you go all the way up to black like you did with this color? I've actually got a Leviadon in my backlog I was already thinking of doing up in a bluey-green, but I LOVE how your scales turned out.
Hey Joshua, you can absolutely go to black or the very deep blue-black/turquoise-black at the very least. If you wanted to keep it colourful there's always very saturated colours... yes I am talking about Huldra Blue😉😁
Thanks dude, sounds like your drybrushing is 'too dry'! The name isn't so helpful - check out our complete guide to drybrushing for some more tips, we use the dampening pad along with series D to reliably introduce moisture, all available here: store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing Complete Drybrushing guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxuY2NXeI2M.html
Cool video as always. I really like the simplicity of the effect, I'm definitely going to put it onto use. Personally I don't think you should mess with it by adding blood, it looks so good as it is
@@ArtisOpus I've been eye balling the Seraphon starter sets, not sure if I'm going for the one with the caranosaur or bastiladon. I've not painted any larger models yet and I think they'll be a good ones to start with. It'll be my Christmas treat to myself this year for the small amount of down time over the holidays.
Amazing as always! Wish you could've gone into more depth about how you achieved those metallics (or that base tbf) at the end. I know you're worried about videos being too long but an extra 5/10 minutes wouldn't hurt 😉
Good to know, dude! :) The metallics was literally a green-gold mix then a gold drybrush then a silver drybrush. If you'd like to know how the base was painted let me know, it was built the same as my lockdown project for reference 😊Thanks for the support!
looks absolutely amazing! side note: i believe the deepkin creatures "swim" and the winds of magic? so when they go out to battle they arent that wet so blood should stick pretty easily :P
@@ArtisOpus Fun lore fact: the Idoneth cause a ghostly ocean to appear on dry land when they arrive. There's no water, but others see the image of ocean floors, coral, sea creatures, and the like. I believe the Idoneth scenery piece, the wrecked ship, is meant to help achieve this image. It is meant to be an apparition that appears on the battlefield with them.
Since you seem to like the deepkin model range, may I suggest an Eidolon of Mathlann (swishy cloak man)for your next tutorial? His cloak is an awesome surface for blending and highlighting.
Hey dude, 100%, it's just like any other technique, if you check out the star wars kits I painted I held back a little on the tropical colours :D. They should give you a good idea of what's achievable, at a high level, surprisingly fast!
@@ArtisOpus Thanks Budd, I can't believe you get such a good finish just from dry brushing. I stop dry brushing years ago as the minis always looked well dry brushed and a bit scruffy. So went onto layering which is very time-consuming. I will look back at your other vids. Kepp up the great work.
Hey, dude, not for the drybrushes yet, it's been held up by upcoming product release but should be out very soon. We have a beginners' guide drybrushing scheduled very soon (perhaps this weekend) in which we'll cover 'during session' cleaning 😊The most important thing is dampening pad regularly before during and after each paint.
@@ArtisOpus Thanks! Ah, then I will keep my eyes open this weekend for it ;) Yes, I need to learn more about that dampening pad. I've alwas thought drybrushing should be bone dry. Thanks for the reply anyways and keep the good work up!
I was going to comment about how you picked a great model to highlight the showcased skills but then you said what was it... a cotton bud? Had no idea they werent called q-tips everywhere. Wild.
Hey dude, I made the base myself with green stuff + hobby materials, check out our old 'how to make bases' video, it's essentially all of these tips, applied on a larger scale (I used AOS scenery sawed in half for the statues).
If you’re still wanting to add blood effects to this, blood underwater (say, from a shark attack) to me looks a lot like dirty smoke from a diesel war engine in WW2. I’ve seen some modellers do very clever smoke effects with wisps of cotton wire armatures, stained with pastel dust and light airbrushing. A cloud of red from the turtles mouth could be very cool as though it just chomped something.
A quick tip if you're wanting to highlight purples use a light skin tone instead of a white, it'll make easier transitions and not look so stark. Check out Vince Veturella's video on Purple he explains how to get better transitions of purples etc.
We love Vince's videos too, this is a great suggestion! What awesome viewers we have! 🤩We'll get round to coloured cloth and armour in every shade at some point in our three ways series😊
If looking for grim dark ideas for underwater - something that big would likely be very old, and being slower moving might have gathered barnacle clusters. So green stuff model some barnacles..maybe larger areas of discolouration? It's not a turtle image - but this lobster image could be fun to take ideas from: twitter.com/wingofstmawes/status/951818853230825472/photo/1
Alright Byron the police are here. They want to talk to you about claims made against you regarding some kind of witchcraft... I'm becoming more and more a fan of wet on wet blending watching your videos... Here's hoping santa brings me some series D brushes ;)...
Always felt that GW paint scheme good for battle ready speedy bullshit panting, but absolutely sucks when it comes to the real Art. This one is best example of great miniature get proper treat.
