Some people are like swans, all calm on the outside and like a school of piranha under the water. Most people think I am emotionless as I often have a deadpan expression.
Woke up to a Vince video on smooth blends, pain from hand surgery finally manageable, and kid finally tested negative for COVID. I literally got a huge smile when I saw this video and thought, “Christmas morning?!?” Thank you Vince. This is exactly what I needed!
While I'm watching this I can't stop thinking of how much the musculature reminds me of a Frank Frazetta painting. This is an amazing model and a breathtaking paint. I'm showing this video to my friend, she has to see this.
Thank you so much as a 50 yr old modeller who used to do aircraft I have fallen for miniatures. I was afraid to step into it but thank you for making it not so scary.
What a great sculpt, imagine this guy bearing down on your troops from across the game table. Not to be gauche right as it comes hot off the presses, but huge conversion potential as well, which is always a selling point I should think... And skin is definitely something I need to hunker down and practice a lot...
God I want that sculpt. God I want it painted by Vince. At least getting half of what you want ain't bad. Amazing work on the paint job, teaching via the video, and collab on the sculpt!
Thanks a lot Vincey V, for such gorgeous and amazing content and help. Hope you guys - Jon, Scott & your good self - are having a great time in the UK.
Fantastic tutorial, I def agree that there's nothing more satisying than painting lovely areas of well defined musculature! Been meaning to pick up some CC for ages so will keep an eye out for this one :)
This is exactly the kind of model I've been looking for to be my Keeper of Secrets for a Greek mythology inspired Hedonites of Slaanesh army. Thanks Vince and CC!
Love the mini, Vince! I think these custom made figs that anyone can design is one of the coolest things going on in the hobby right now and gets me very excited for what people will do in the future.
Absolutely love the sculpt and an amazing paint job! Wanted to say thanks for putting out a display quality tutorial. My painting is nowhere near this level but it's absolutely what I aspire to, seeing it laid out like this is amazing. So few people seem to put out tutorials at this level so thank you again.
Simply amazing. I kept thinking that any moment you'd say you were done but you just kept going and it got even better. I struggle with realistic flesh tones so this was very helpful. Thank you for sharing with us!
Fantastic sculpt/figure, superb tutorial with easy to follow tips and suggestions (not, for me, necessarily to successfully copy) simply another incredibly good Hobby Cheating insight - thanks, as always, for your time and efforts!
Hot damn. That is some of the most gorgeous skin I've seen painted! I don't have this kit, but I do have the angel Shoshie put out and think I can give this approach a try on that! Been wanting to do more hybrid work with brush plus airbrush and this is a great roadmap for how to approach that.
I don't spend much time looking at high-end sculpts, but here is something that is full bodied and isn't demonic, gross, or in the likeness of a chunky burly biker dude. Looks really good. Now to stop over at creature caster. Also, thanks for sharing your knowledge of mini painting and the joy it provides as a worth while hobby. Thanks Vince.
I've been staring at this ogroid thaumaturge for 2 weeks trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I heard "muscle islands" and everything clicked. thank you.
I think you've said in a couple videos leading up to this how much you like to paint muscley guys, so I guess this shouldn't be a surprise! Great sculpt, and great video.
Great video vince! An idea for a future video would be cold skin. By this I mean skins in cold environments. I just starting a norse/viking project and can't find any instructional videos on painting cold skin!
Holy shit he looks amazing! im really excited about the rest of the range! would love to see somthing similar in terms of scale with influences from Greek or Norse mythology.
@@VinceVenturella as someone once said, hard work always beats talent :D I have to put in more time, for sure. But it is not exactly easy to come by minis with nicely defined naked body surfaces :D
The kind of strange thing about a giant like this, is that we can recognize them as normal humans in a bigger scale. Fantasy giants have a unique appearance that makes them look like a "giant", not only a big normal human. Personally that doesn't matter much to me. The only thing I care about is if I like the sculpt or not (and I do Vince, I very much do).
I'm here to learn and I do so every video. Thank you for that. I would like to give feedback on the video, however. I live with autism and ADD, and these high BPM tempo heavy background music are very hard to cut out mentally, and thus, make paying attention to the lesson tolling. I'm here to hear your voice teach complex artistic concepts, not to feel disco. This is why Twitch is unwatchable to me also. I hope you can keep these to either very low levels, or, ideally use something that is more ambient and doesn't intrude on the main purpose of these videos. Again, thank you for the lesson. I hope to put it to good use soon.
It is very difficult to concentrate on the lesson with that marching band intruding on the voice. Awesome tutorial and I’m hoping other videos won’t be so hard to listen to. 😎
Vince, you should check out the models in the Mythic Battles Pantheon skirmish game.. And their Titan expansions if you like gods and titans.. Just to paint for fun. That original kickstarter is all Greek gods and titans... They just did a Norse one called Mythic Battles Ragnarok. It's solid hard plastic sculpts.. No bendy cmon swords. If you like titans n giants anyways
Thanks for the video. Would be cool to get an idea about a time frame for such paintjob. Its always interesting to see, by looking at "this stage" how long it took, especially figuring out "translating: to army/group". Also, would be cool to see at some point your Slaanesh Titans reviewed - quite interesting to get tips about "display quality" TMM, or might be just how to make TMM from battle ready to the next lvl. Regards
I freaking love you dude you're the coolest!5 I literally study your videos and feel that you definitely deserve some of my money I'm very interested in what you got going on on patreon and I don't feel like me liking every video is enough you're the best there's nobody like you thank you very much my pretend friend you're with me at work you're with me while I'm painting at home you even come with me to the bathroom sometimes I'm sorry about the lack of punctuation this is a text to speech or reverse that run-on sentence thank you goodbye!
Great work, great tutorial and great sculpt. Really hope you can work more with cc to get more of your concepts out in the world My only feedback though is the music. It gets quite loud in parts of the video, and distracts a lot from what you have to say
Oh look Vince's doing another giant .... WTF?! Good god he's beautiful!!!! That *armour*... arrrrgh I NEED HIM NOW! (Also thanks so much for another great skin tutorial Vince!)
Great content, Vince, but could you consider tweaking the audio levels in future videos? I found the music rather loud in places; it also didn't help that this particular track yanks away attention through its pronounced highs and lows -- at least for me.
0:29 I see that you have received the second base set from Kimera. Interesting paints. Also uncommon pigments we don't see often (at least I don't when I check to see what is commonly used in artist paint brands).
TBH Vince superior paint job as allways but regarding mini itself - it look like big human. There is nothing on it as far as i see that say it is giant. He have very human proportion - if it would say it is 1/56 scale human warrior i would not ask twice to confirm that. I know this is most likely by design but well - looks like scaled human. Once again superior paint job.
Titans are scaled, perfect humans (from both mythology and games like D&D). The armour and weapons sell it to me as something above and beyond human. Plus the size!
Heya Vince! I'm interested in trying to paint minis as if they were standing in rain! Tried looking but it didn't seem like you have a HC-video on the subject. Seems really tricky... I mean... so much of what makes something "rainy" is about all the drops in the air... So yea, just a quick idea for a HC video maybe :) Thanks for all the help, greetings from Sweden!
great video, I need to be braver and use more yellow - just fyi I think your audio ducking is a tad borked, music was going up and down at odd times a few times (though I might just be sensitive because I keep screwing it up in mine lol)
Thanks for the video! This one has been one of your most informative yet. I've been trying to apply lessons learnt here to a large scale bust, but I'm wondering if you have any further insight on working on large smooth areas of skin? Large faces have much subtler definition than these areas of muscularity. I'm finding it a bit harder to figure out where the midtone should lie and how quickly I should progress with gradients for a realistic lighting situation.
With something like the face, the best answer is always reality, studying a real human under the lighting situation you are trying to create will lead you, there are many, many, many resources for faces with different light sources. You can also of course study the old masters and their paintings. The short answer is the light should be pushed into the T-Zone of the face and bring whatever micro details there out and express them.
@@VinceVenturella thanks for the response, having progressed further I've found that going back to art history and looking at the techniques done in oils have been really informative - especially with the use of different hues in skin.
The model is absolutely incredible. Do you have any other videos that show you working with this piece? I’ve purchased it and I’d like to follow along with more of your videos if possible.
Love it Vincey V. Love the figure. Could you use deep purple or deep turquoise or another dark cold colour for skin and get away with it? P.S. I have many inks including Paynes Grey thanks to your tutorials. Appreciate your work
Hi there, Vince! You mentioned in a Q&A or two long ago wanting to do a video on how to approach the Warcolours Flesh set. I know you've down a quick run down (in another Q&A, which I can't find in my history); do you still plan to do a video? Thanks!
Amazing model! As the designer and a devotee of Slaanesh…do you think this could serve as a good alternate for a Keeper? Kind of Sigvald inspired Keeper of Perfection…
Hi Vince. When you lay down your smoothing layer, do you avoid going over the darker shadow areas? Do you avoid getting the smoothing layer into the crevices?
Hey Vince, thanks a lot for the great vid. Especially the details on the Airbrush work. Would love to see more :-) Second question - is the Miniac/Ninjon intro gone for good? Kinda loved it ^^
