It's stuff like this that helps immensely. I'm both a complete newbie and a perfectionist and it's the worst combo haha! To know that even weathered veterans still make mistakes and it's no big deal really brings me back to reality and makes me realise perfection (or at least a decent result) takes time, patience and maybe a redo every now and then. Thank you for this

@ArtisOpus Год назад

My man, journey over destination, we've all been there (and will go there again 😅). our pleasure.

@darrenj3720 Год назад

I think this is one of my favourite vids so far. It’s nice to see that different products behave differently. This is important information that is usually missed.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Absolutely, it's taken me a bit to figure out! As ever the viewers are at hand with their centuries worth of combined knowledge!

@BarokaiRein Год назад

What I generally do with dirty down stuff is that I go over the whole area with it, then use a brush that's wet with water to fan the edges out with diluted version of the paint before blow drying the whole thing. At least in my experience that seems to work well for making rust and verdigris look like it built up naturally with softer edges. You can make the effect as smooth as you want by reactivating it with water and blowdrying it again and again, which is why I usually just have mine on my lap.

@KezzaWinter Год назад

Would definitely like a breakdown of how you did the big dragon, why you think it failed and analyse the steps you planned out and where it went wrong!

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Noted, I'm still not sure exactly how we'll/I'll handle the video covering the failure, but he will be at some point! :)

These change personality as you go, as well, which feels properly unique!

@mobilecivilian6124 Год назад

Dirty down is awesome but its next level once you put a dry brush to it. Dry brush some troll slayer orange over the rust or dry brush some warp stone glow over the moss with a real light dry brush of moot green and thank me in the morning. Make sure the bottles warm and that the bearing rattles inside or it won't work right.

@Siege181 Год назад

Dammit Byron! Cost of living going on and you release those cabinets! They are truly beautiful and I can’t back the campaign at the moment but you bet your bottom dollar that in the future I’m going to get some of those bad boys Thank you again for all the vids, as said before the best thing about your tutorials is how you make us believe we can achieve the same results and that it’s fine to screw up Keep it up old boy! And I hope to see that Great Unclean One “Covidius” shown off in one of those stonking cabinets when they appear behind you soon!

:D Thanks my man, not a worry, we're Kickstarting the project to help us with projected volumes, and maybe open up a few more options, but once it's satisfied we'll of course support all products (as we do with the brushes) on general release. I promise to continue making mistakes if you'll continue watching them :D

What you did in the chip you liked more, is pull instead of push down/forward. Pulling back and up you will swoop the marks. I preferred the first, looked very realistic

@nicholassinnett2958 Год назад

Yeah, and remember, the Statue of Liberty used to be clean bronze, so it's not like super-heavy verdigris is unrealistic. Just depends on the look you want, I guess.

Hahaha, thanks Byron. Just found your channel, have been out of the hobby game for some time and just got back in the saddle. I have been checking out different ways of painting rather than just trying to recreate the GW 'eavy metal style. It has to be said, that your channel is inspiring and has changed how I approach painting... To everybody involved, 10/10, keep up the great work.

@jmc7034 Год назад

I like the end result. Looks great

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Cheers, buddy! 🥰

@max16 Год назад

So i found that the verd actualy somewhat hates water on the brush and will harden up on it.. iv been experimenting with it for a while with my death guard to patina the bronze and copper on them and i found that mixing it with equal parts IPA in a little pot and making a wash with it works wonders. same with the rust as well. watering it down with iso lets it flow into the recessis really easily and drys super quick into it so it does not run to much. it also gives a really killer finish. what you can also do with the verd is put some in a tub and let it dry. then use a damp brush to "reactivate it" and use that damp brush to paint it on. that will give you more white and staining.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Alright, so alcohol is king here, thanks very much for the info dude, taken on board, and appreciated! (y)

@max16 Год назад

@@ArtisOpus no problems my dude. yeah so i found that when you use the verd with a brush and try to wash it off and just kind of stays on and turns into a hardend mess :P heh. im sure you have probably had it happen to :P i have a 1LT bottle of IPA and since all of dirty downs stuff is alchohol based as well it just washes off. its also why they want you to have it heated and have the mini heated. alcohol evaporates faster in heat. have you also tried using it cold so it drys slower? you can get kind of finer control sometimes. :P iv found that using the rust when its cold in a decent layer and letting in dry it will look like shit. but then you control it with a damp brush to reactivate it and move it where you want it to go. i did a great unclean ones sword and dagger like that and it came up insane :P

@JamesSmith-co1kt 7 месяцев назад

If you look at copper alloys,you should notice that moss doesn’t grow on that surface. It only oxidizes to a verdigris. Copper sulfate repels moss and algae growth. Moss and algae and lichen will grow on steel alloys.

@albertreed966 Год назад

Both versions were good but for a favorite...I liked the first version before you gave it a bath! I tried to imagine it as a statue in a great dark hall first viewed upon after ages in the dark and dank mountain!

Have you tried using a 1:1 ish mix with IPA to apply this yet? It removes the panic factor entirely. Decant and mix and you have loads of flexibility. Works with all 3 products.

Be proud of the results of your hobby dude, even the Slayer Sword winners are on a journey, and they all started somewhere :)

@spice6828 Год назад

10/10 for production value, comedy and more importantly, showing mistakes. Dropping a mark to 9/10 for no rubber ducky during the sink sequence, but would definitely recommend.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

HAAAA, you're too generous, any option to include a rubber ducky missed is a huge omission, please accept our humble-apologies.

@SlayerMiniatures Год назад

As Bob Ross would say 'There are no mistakes, just happy accidents' 😊 Turned out great dude! Always fun to experiment!

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Thanks, buddy! Will check out your latest tomorrow, it's looking epic, though!

@HuntingHeresy Год назад

I would have thinned the verdigris more and let it rest in the cracks. Quick downward brush like you were doing to get the dripping effect. Then layered the moss over top, but thinned it down a tad. Seemed like you went very heavy. I'll have to experiment with my own statues to find a happy medium. Always good to look at photos of actual oxidized copper roofing and moss to get an idea of where to put the effect before starting. Some museums have the entire metal roof a nice greenish blue from a century of exposure to the elements. Don't worry about going too heavy. If you thin it down, you can always layer on more.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

I agree here, more natural reference photos, more practise!

@sweatilaa5325 Год назад

to me, bronze and brass statues are always fully covered in a nice layer of verdigris

@ArtisOpus Год назад

That's fair! We've definitely split public opinion here!

@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Год назад

Because bronze corrodes due to exposure to the air, so it wouldn't gather verdigris only in certain areas. I'd cover the bronze statue with the blue and then apply a second layer in the deeper recesses where rain might collect

@jackjames2872 Год назад

I really like the part with moss on I have the rust and moss stuff at home and have been extremely worried about messing my models up while using it almost a scared I’m going to ruin wat I’ve done

@ScytheNoire Год назад

That's what's missing from my painting setup: GIN! I think moss collecting up near the shoulders seems a bit off. I think the top would have more verdigris and the bottom more moss.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Agreed buddy, on all accounts ;)

@filmguru4 Год назад

I actually like both versions of the statue. Both look like they are for different environments. Although the 2nd I like because it is more subtle

@ArtisOpus Год назад

I'm in agreement here, more practise needed :)

@Smilomaniac Год назад

I recommend you get a hold of some glass nano files, such as ‘raser’ by gunprimer. They’re best for flatter surfaces, but generally they don’t over-file and only take off things that jut out, perfect for gates. Uncommon in 40k, more common in other model hobbying.

@stujm84 Год назад

Just remember that in nature, moss typically grows on the northen side of things, mostly in shadowy areas on things like trees and bits. The finished statue was great though, but if we don't make mistakes we can't improve, so people shouldn't beat themselves up when it happens.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Absolutely, mate! And yes this is a good point, in the sheltered damp bits, and mores Northern side, I should try this net time!

@RubenMartinVizcay Месяц назад

Dear Sir: Can you tell me the company that manufacture the parts you painted in this video. Thank you

@ArtisOpus Месяц назад

Hey man, almost all of our painting is done on miniatures made by Games Workshop (warhammer) :)

@SPQRKlio Год назад

I love working with the Verdigris (it makes me want to put a patina on everything... EVERYTHING). But I still cannot make the Moss look decent. I might be trying to work with it at the wrong scale--maybe it looks more convincing on a piece that's meant to be monumentally large? And dabbed at more along the edges to break up the line (e.g. the shoulder on the left vs the shoulder on the right at 16:24)? In any case, the moss at the bottom of the statue looks nice to me.

@MartinODonnel Год назад

Excellent video, finally I can find a use for gin! Personally I thought it was a very pretty statue

@ArtisOpus Год назад

@natoman Год назад

Can anyone elaborate on the airbrush thinner/alcohol for the moss instead of water? Does this create a different effect?

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Water results in more 'clagging/clumping' it seems, if anyone's more chemically knowledgable please do jump in!

@BasementRecordStudio Год назад

First time I've ever seen gin be poured over a miniature. I really appreciate seeing a bit of frustration with your hobby process as that's how mine tends to go! Do you end up varnishing after the effects are applied? Does airbrush varnish reactive the effects at all?

@ArtisOpus Год назад

I didn't bother with this, they're not on the bits you touch often, but you could do a light spray, it wouldn't reactivate, but it may slightly darken. As a note - it's metallic (shiny), I'd avoid a matte unless you're specifically hitting the moss/verdigris (y) No worries man, I screw up plenty :D

@chriscarmona7725 Год назад

Why not base it in a bright, pale green, and then drybrush the bronze? The pinwash the deepest recesses with a darker green and put moss on top of that. I think it's the fastest route and winds up looking the best (after a half-dozen attempts are different recipes which all sucked).

@nahhfam7678 Год назад

This might be a weird question but has Artis Opus absolutely popped off recently? It's seems that every painter on RU-vid has ditched their W&Ns, Raphael's in favour of your line which I have also done with the 1 surplanting all other brushes I had because of the tip quality outperforming the smaller sizes from other brands.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Hey dude, thanks very much for the kind words, super-glad that yours is serving you well! If you like the 1, please try a 3, you may be surprised at how closely to the 1 it performs, while holding more paint-volume, and with the increased resilience of a larger brush! That's an interesting observation, do you think it could be the re-emergence of Golden-Demon, and awards/conventions in general, as well as international travel? We've definitely felt a lot of ripples amongst the god-level painters (a lot of which are educators, or content-producers) who're reinvigorated, working on projects, and looking to use the best tools and equipment available. Either way, we're humbled on a daily basis - being the choice of your painting-heroes (in some cases childhood painting heroes!) is a special thing, we can only dream of having half their skill and talent :). If you reply - please do so in a separate comment, RU-vid's awful for ongoing conversation notifications!
