Your videos are extremely addictive. You are like the miniature painter's Bob Ross, but painting things that are a bit more interesting :P.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Thanks a lot anubis! :)

@robins5314 4 года назад

Why would anyone vote these videos down? These tutorials are superb!

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Thanks a lot Robin! Who knows... :)

@westernzoo3344 8 лет назад

as much as I love your work as a painter ( you convinced me to try, and with sucess because of your excellent teachings ) I couldn't stress enough how wonderful the editing on those videos is. The subtle camera moves when presenting an important color, the smooth transitions, the sense of zen but also a nice pacing to keep us in awe, that is a very very very good work. You sir, made something as boring as watching paint dry, exciting. Hard to figure what is the most impressive between the painting or the filming in your videos.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Western Zoo What a wonderful comment; thank you so much! I am very sensitive to things like pacing, transitions, etc and like to treat the video itself as a work of art as much as I do the miniature I'm painting, so it sure is nice to feel appreciated. Thanks again!

@alanrae2085 5 лет назад

Completely agree, exceptional production.

@Kriterian 4 года назад

Don't forget the excellent music that fits the theme and doesn't distract from the commentary. His production values are probably why he can't pump out painting videos every day but I think the wait is worth it.

@smtkelly 8 лет назад

I'd really like to say thank you for these tutorials. Wonderfully made, clear and interesting to watch. I a few year's ago after my first son was born nostalgia brought me back to Miniatures mostly large vehicles (that I made from scratch). At the start of the year I bought zombicide I found the transition from vehicles to miniatures much harder than I imagined, your tutorials really helped bridge the knowledge gap.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Simon Kelly (smtk) Hi Simon! Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to hear my videos have helped you get back into this wonderful hobby :)

@kardalis4238 8 лет назад

Your music is just ...woah. Incredible! Much better than average rpg game ^^

@WMG3307 9 месяцев назад

I'm convinced that your video's are the best out there on painting miniatures. One remark, the left bull horn is a duck's head if you look very closely. You can even see the eye.

@Sorastro 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! And good catch! 😀

@xxjj4082 10 месяцев назад

I had no intention of buying this game, but after watching this series of videos - especially this one, I'm going to bite the bullet and get it. of course, I'm NO WERE NEAR AS SKILLED PAINTER as you, but you sure do make it look easy!!!

@Sorastro 10 месяцев назад

Excellent! I hope you have fun painting your set up! 😀

@dffarias 8 лет назад

Again, I am impressed. When I think it is impossible to add more details, you keep on adding beautiful touches to the miniature. Wonderful work. Congratulations.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Daniel Farias Thank you so much Daniel! :)

@tp6498 Год назад

Hi Sorastro, I'm not sure if you'll see this comment because this video is so old but I wanted to leave it just the same. I just picked up Black Plague and the Necromancer is the first figure in that box that I'm going to attempt to paint. I'm going to do my best to stick to this video in doing so and I wanted to thank you for the amount of detailed, step by step explanations you've included in it. 👍

@Sorastro Год назад

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! I hope you have fun painting him 😀

@omidtutakhil9252 5 лет назад

I just found your channel and it is amazing. I’m jealous of your brush control. I always end up painting over things I don’t want to but you look like you never miss.

@Sorastro 5 лет назад

Thanks Omid! Try to keep your wrists (and elbows even) resting on the work surface to keep things steady if you can 😀

@Steebles1908 8 лет назад

Thanks for another great tutorial. I'm just getting back into mini painting after a 15 year hiatus. Started with my Imperial Assault figures and moving on from there. Keep these coming! I would also love to see some videos that are technique specific, instead of figure specific.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Steebles' Greebles Thanks a lot! I'll see what I can do RE some technique videos :)

@sircombo4821 7 лет назад

hi there, I have ordered my first batch of zombies and can't wait to paint them. this will be my first time of painting minichers. you really have inspired me with your zombies so here hoping they look ok after painting and not like road Kill lol

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Thanks a lot Marcus! I'm sure you'll have a blast painting your zombies, and they'll turn out great; they're the best possible thing to learn the basics on :)

Best place to get some of that Testor's Matt Spray? I think I need some for my finished BattleLore minis, which are still sat all in a box, as I've no idea how to store them safely!

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Here mate: www.antenocitisworkshop.com/testors-dullcote-spray.html (That's where I get mine from) :)

@tp6498 Год назад

Hey Sorastro, I thought I'd post this update to my previous comment here in the hopes that it will save other painters the aggravation that I dealt with when I began my Black Plague painting odyssey lol. I didn't have a green toned primer like your army painters necrotic flesh so I bought Krylon Colormaxx paint + primer indoor outdoor Satin Avocado. It went on great and the color matches the army painter brand primer nearly exact. After giving it 24 hours to dry the trouble began when I started applying the base coats (citadel and army painter acrylics) to the mini. The paint was beading up into little pools and clumps on the surface of the primer like water does on the surface of a rainx treated car windshield. I had to go back and re-spray every mini with matte varnish to cover up the primer and then reapply my base coats. Not the end of the world but a time costing nuisance none the less. Hope this helps anyone else. Take care.

@Sorastro Год назад

Thanks for sharing, buddy! 😀

@michaelpingel276 7 лет назад

Really like your work and the style you created your tutorials. Even as a absolute rookie I can follow your steps. Looking forward to the player characters.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Thanks a lot Michael! I'm very happy to hear that they're easy to follow - that's kind of the most important thing really :)

@michaelpingel276 7 лет назад

Yeah, I hope I'm also able to paint it so it looks at least not terrible. ;) Still waiting for my order of Zombicide and the colors. Do you have any experience with the Varnish Sprays from GW or Army Painter? Got three different products, but I'm not sure which one to pick. Army Painmter Anti-Shine Matt Varnish Army Painter Aegis Suit Satin Varnish GW Purity Seal The one you are using is very expensive compared to the other ones. At least here in Germany. ;)

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi Michael! Of the three products you list I would suggest trying the Army Painter Anti-Shine Matt Varnish. I've tried it before and it worked fine for me (except the nozzle got blocked despite my doing the usual turn-it-upside-down-and-clear thing) :)

@saemonnosukesanada473 8 лет назад

@morganfellows8182 7 лет назад

Cracking work as ever, a lovely clear tutorial, and quite fun to paint. :)

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Thank you very much Morgan; I'm glad you enjoyed painting him! I've just finished filming Ann the nun so watch out for the tutorial soon :)

@morganfellows8182 7 лет назад

Excellent! It'll be nice to get some painted heroes on the table to go with all the painted zombies. I've started siding with the zombies when playing the game, as they look better than the plain plastic good guys.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Lol - indeed :)

@tiziano77 8 лет назад

@homelessjoe 8 лет назад

Amazing as always Sorastro. Please consider future Descent content.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Phantomic Films Thank you very much! :)

@jasonbaldwin184 8 лет назад

For your metallics -- Privateer Press makes an Armor Wash in their Formula P3 line. I actually prefer it to Citadel. You might give it a try if it's available overseas.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Jason Baldwin Thanks a lot for the tip Jason! I'm always keen to try new products out so I will definitely look out for that :)

@staticklingon2182 7 лет назад

I was excited til I seen he used 27 colors. :( Guess I'll start with the zombies and build up my paint collection lol.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

@MutsuKazuma 4 года назад

a year ago I thought the same thing, now I have like 150 colors from different companies

If I EVER get half as good as you are I will jump happily around and sing a song about the awesomeness of life itself!

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Lol.. Well I don't consider myself a particularly advanced painter so you may well get there quicker than you think :)

@BrianLiles 7 лет назад

Huzzah!

@xml571 7 лет назад

I am just starting and I've watched some guides now but none has this finesse with a brush. I really can't describe it better as English is not my first language :) but you brush handling is the most controlled one I've seen so far. It looks like you handle a pencil and not a hairy brush

@DiscoBarbarian 8 лет назад

Great video man!

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Chris S Cheers Chris! I'm glad you like it :)

@DiscoBarbarian 8 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting looking forward to starting the necromancers. I'm currently painting all the dwarf heroes and the Merlin ripoff.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Chris S Nice! I'm looking forward to starting the heroes soon :)

@DiscoBarbarian 8 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting I have about thirteen of them done, and two of the abominations (Pack Alpha, and the Rat one) done so far.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Chris S Sweet! :)

@DanishArtist 8 лет назад

Nicely done as always Sorastro, but I would advice people to have a look ad the Army Painter's paints made for Zombicide Black Plague, their Necromancer Cloak paint would be good to be used instead of the mix of Xereus Purple and German Grey, and the Necromancer Cloak paint is also good for making a soft highlight for black colors, also I made a Army Painter list of colors in the comment in the Sorastro's Zombicide: Black Plague Painting Guide - The Abomination video if anyone would be interested.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+DanishArtist Thank you! I agree that the "Necromancer Cloak" colour you mention would be fine if you want a grey robe :)

@TimmermansJeroen 8 лет назад

I mixed a bit of purple into the necromancer cloak color, and brought out the purple in the highlights, gives the very nice effect on the cloak.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Cool :)

@charlesdexterward2514 8 лет назад

I really love your music (which programm do you use?).....and your painting too of course :-) Your videos saved me a lot of time painting all these Zombies. THX

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Thank you sir! (From one Lovecraft fan to another :) )

@HarleyFirestorm 4 года назад

Great tutorial, I followed the tutorial, I used some different colours, I found this Zombicide mini really frustrating to paint, so much going on and such a small model.

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Thanks a lot! Yeh they're kind of tiny :D

@Schneu369 7 лет назад

I love watching your tutorials Sorastro! I can see the result, which is awesome, but why combine the green with the red to dull it? Would you always use a complimentary colour in this way, or is it just because you are shading him to the slightly green anyway? Keep up the great tutorials, looking forward to more Zombicide: BP ones, so inspiring!

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Thanks Matthew! I just find that using green to darken red gives a nice rich tone - I guess because they're complimentary, but I don't necessarily do that as a hard-and-fast rule :)

@Krijen 8 лет назад

Great job, Sorastro - these look absolutely amazing (like all your videos). Do you plan to do a video series of the Mansions of Madness Second Edition? Just got that game myself and would love to follow your lead on them ;-) Keep up the fantastic work. :)

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Thank you so much Krijen! I'm honestly not sure if or when I'm going to get round to painting MoM.. if I do though I'll be sure to provide at least a quick guide of some sort :)

@trevorchadwick7649 8 лет назад

Amazing! Will you do the larger abominations ever? very little coverage of them and your take would be so helpful in how to paint them.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Trevor Chadwick Thank you Trevor! Absolutely! It may be a while because I want to cover the base-set heroes first, but after that I would love to hit the extra abominations (and the Wulfsburg stuff) :)

@trevorchadwick7649 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting you've inspired me to start painting from never having painted before. I bought the Knight Kickstarter and painted all the bases zombies all the NPC 1 zombies and all but 15 of the survivors. I purposely had avoided games with unpainted miniatures because they never really felt immersive but your tutorials convinced me to try painting and now I spend an hour or more every single night doing it. thanks so very much.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Trevor Chadwick Fantastic! It's a wonderful way to spend a quiet hour or so alone at the end of the day isn't it? I'm happy to have been able to help you get into the hobby :)

@paradox1995 8 лет назад

AMAZING work as always sir. Any idea when we might see the minatures from Blood Rage hit your painting table?

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+paradox1995 Thank you! The first Blood Rage video will be either October or November (and I can't wait!) :)

@paradox1995 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting Thats wonderful news! Can you reveal if you'll be starting with the large monsters or the small troop miniatures?

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

I honestly haven't decided yet but I don't think I can resist painting some of those spectacular monsters first!

@paradox1995 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting I was hoping you'd say that! I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work.

@Fissi0nChips 7 лет назад

Nicely done. I wonder what sort of training, if any, you have in relation to colour theory and the like?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

+Apocrypha2012 Thank you (again!). I did study art in my youth (longer ago than I care to mention!) although I don't remember doing much colour theory. I tend to rely more on intuition and simply trying stuff out to get a look I'm happy with :) (I do all the trying stuff out part off-camera in the preparation for each video of course!) :)

@microcolop 8 лет назад

waiting for the survivors video

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

I'm also excited about getting to the survivors! :)

@Nero_479 8 лет назад

fantastic content as always. Have you thought about painting something more cartoon based like Arcadia Quest or Super Dungeon Explore? would that change your approach at all?

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Kevin Latta Thank you Kevin! Yes I'd love to paint Arcadia Quest! I would certainly have to aim for a very clean, vibrant look. We shall see... :)

@jameslowery4671 7 лет назад

great use of Ardcoat

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

+James Lowery Thanks James!

@OverlordOfEcchi 7 лет назад

If you were hypothetically a commission artist, what would you charge for a full Zombiecide: Black Plague miniature paint job?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi! I'm afraid I've really no idea how much I'd charge; it would have to be quite a lot due to the number of hours it would take me, but it's a moot point since I'm not a commission painter anyway :)

@h22mantis 8 лет назад

Did you notice any advantage in the W&N brush over the Rosemary? Could you tell us the comparable army painter wash to the citadel wash colors you used? Thanks again for another great video!!

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Hi! The W&N has shorter bristles, but they're both nice brushes and I could see myself switching between then to paint different parts of a model. I'm afraid I don't really use Army Painter washes so can't really advise (Citadel may be more expensive but they're really excellent!) :)

@h22mantis 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting Thanks for the input Sorastro! Always excited to watch all your videos even tho I'm just painting Zombicide.

@JasonD19736 8 лет назад

Hi Sorastro, I'd be interested in the factors you consider with each model when determining what colour to prime the miniature in, and what benefits black primer has over white etc.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Hi Jason! I generally chose black for darker-colored miniatures since painting a dark color over white would take more layers to get a solid finish. I also like using black for miniatures that have lots of "bling" like the necromancer since we don't strictly have to get the brush into all of the little recesses as they're black by default :)

@JasonD19736 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting thanks. I will have to get some black primer.

@venti9693 6 лет назад

Does the matte varnish not kill the shine for the metallic armor and chains? If it does and I wanted to keep the shine, can I bring it back with the ardcoat or would that make it look strange? EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention that I love your videos man, great work.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Thanks Venti! The Dullcote sure does produce a very matte finish, but that doesn't mean the metallic flakes in the metallic paints aren't still reflective. But you could layer some gloss varnish on the armour for a shinier look for sure :)

@HenrikH321 8 лет назад

As always awesome video! When can we expect to see the release of the epic music? :)

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+HenrikH321 Thank you so much Henrik! I'm actually planning to save for a better computer so I can render full 24-bit VST instruments before releasing any albums so it might be a while yet (Christmas or New Year perhaps..?) :)

@HenrikH321 8 лет назад

+Sorastro's Painting sounds awesome! I looking so much forward to it! :-)

@MegaDeathToaster 7 лет назад

Hi Sorastro have you ever used a wet palette? and if so would you recommend one?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi! Regarding the use of a wet palette - I quite like to use one when I'm playing with ideas and working out my color schemes as they are handy for keeping the paint from drying and they do encourage a more "free-form" approach to mixing colors. I think I prefer a traditional palette for the tutorials however as it makes it easier for me to present nice clear ratios for people to follow :)

@papapitufo2000 6 лет назад

how did you base this minis? im trying to find a video tu base mine, also I love your videos this series helped me a lot when painting my zombicide game.

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi! You can see how I painted the base in Episode 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LMOTmOchKyQ.html :)

@papapitufo2000 6 лет назад

Thank you very much! I just finished with the heroes and I´m starting with the zombies, that's why I didn't watch the first episode, but now I know.

@Crs9072 7 лет назад

Really awesome! I'm sure going to use this as a reference when I paint my set, but my Necromancer will not be showing thigh, like a lady, but will wear some leggings under the rope :D

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Lol thanks :)

@Scannatovivo 8 лет назад

What would make a good substitute for vallejo german grey?I can only find citadel pains in my area :P

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Hi Scannatovivo! You could just mix a dark grey using black with some Mechanicus Standard Grey :)

@submit2darkseid 6 лет назад

I don't have a black primer at the moment. Would you recommend a white or grey as a substitute?

@Sorastro 6 лет назад

Hi Mark! Sure - I'd go with grey if you don't have black :)

@seanlewis4402 7 лет назад

Hello my friend I've watched all your vids and I think you're amazing. I've recently bought Black Plague and want to start collecting paints, which would you say are the best to start with as I was going to buy the large army painter set for around£75 . I would really appreciate your opinion as I intend to use your excellent vids to teach myself from

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi Sean! Thanks for the kind words! In honestly I haven't tried enough of the Army Painter paints to really be able to offer a recommendation. I believe they're pretty good value for money though. I do have a lot of Vallejo paints and can therefor always recommend them (I have lots of Citadel too which are also good but more expensive and many people don't like the pots they come in). :)

@seanlewis4402 7 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my message, roughly 25 years ago I used to collect war hammer miniatures and I was also quite an accomplished model constructor and painter, but as I said that was years ago so I have doubts concerning my ability now. I see your videos as a new introduction to a hobby that I used to love. In the past, my favourite part of miniature painting was the heros as I felt that I was creating a person, as you know paint flows differently with each model as you can paint two of the same character at the same time using the same colours and they will both have little nuances that give them their own characteristics. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to at least begin on my new journey in to a world of hobby that I have loved since the early 80's.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

You're very welcome Sean! I also left the hobby for a number of years, and returned to find myself enjoying it more than ever; I don't know if that's just my having a level of patience and skill that I lacked in my youth, but I'm happy to have helped others re-kindle the love of miniature painting! :)

I primed my necromancer already with the plagueskin as I did all the base figures. Is there a safe way to strip it? Would the Simple Green that I use with Reaper Bones work just as well?

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Hi! I've never tried stripping but I'm fairly sure that would work :)

@hyperenoughable 8 лет назад

I've used some acetone free nail polish remover for stripping paint off figures and it seems to work pretty well

@parkerbutynski500 7 лет назад

Why did you decide to not do the zenithal priming for this model? I noticed in a lot of your other videos it's almost automatic that you do this style of priming.

@keithbrown2711 8 лет назад

So if I am a total newbie and wanted to start painting and following along what equipment do you reccomend picking up? Brushes, Paints, Palette, etc? Would probably start with Stormtroopers from IA because they seem easiest, not to mention replaceable.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Hi Keith! Apart from the essentials you've already mentioned, a craft knife for scraping mold lines off would be handy, as well some matte varnish (I get mine from here: www.antenocitisworkshop.com/testors-dullcote-spray.html). Any old paint palette will do. I would suggest starting with some zombies and trying the Quickshade out (see the first episode) as they're so much fun and pretty easy to do; they'll also help build your confidence before moving onto the trickier heroes etc. For paints I would recommend Citadel or Vallejo (or perhaps P3, Reaper etc. but Citadel and Vallejo might be easier to get hold of). :)

@keithbrown2711 8 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting Thanks for the response you rock! I was probably going to go for Vallejo because of price and hear the squeeze bottles have advantages. It's a bit tricky though because I have to figure out what an equivalent color would be when you are using Citadel ones. What size brushes would you consider essential? You should think about doing a "starter equipment" kinda video would be really helpful.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Yeh - I have actually begun scripting a "Complete Beginner's Guide to Miniature Painting" but it may be a while.. regarding brushes I would seriously just get a size 1 and a size 2 (the Rosemary and Co. brushes listed in the video description would be great). For the zombies you can be quite free with the colors you choose, but there are conversion charts available that might help when converting colors from one range to another: (www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart) :)

@ericsimoneau4818 7 лет назад

i see a lot of people saying to use a wet palet. but all most of the tutorial vids i see dont use them. i use one but find it hard to get a constant consistancy with the paint. just wondering what your thoughts an them are.

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi Eric! I often use a wet palette when I'm just trying ideas out (or if I ever just paint for myself which isn't often!) but I prefer a traditional palette for the videos to try to make them as easy-to-follow as possible. I tend to get a bit messy when I use a wet palette which is fine for me but it's not how I'd like to present the videos so much :)

@BradLacke 7 лет назад

Eric Simoneau There's a bit of a learning curve definitely, which can be frustrating. It is very easy to make the palette too wet which causes you to lose control of your paint consistency. What I found to help was 1.) Use a name brand parchment/baking paper 2.) If you use the Sta-Wet, ditch the sponge and use a single sheet of paper towel 3.) Don't flip your paper to equally wet both sides - tons of How-to's say to do this, but its counterproductive and makes the palette paper too wet 4.) before putting paint on your palette, take a cloth or paper towel and remove any extra moisture 5.) err on the side of "too dry" - I let my paints gradually dry out and then save them with drops of water or medium. This way I stay in control. still, it takes hours for them to need help. This is infinitely preferable to having the paints hoover up a bunch of water right off the bat and turn into colored soup. Hope this helps!

@ericsimoneau4818 7 лет назад

Brad Lacke thanks for the advice. im sure this will help.

@andrewmeidl8424 4 года назад

Related to the black primer, which brand did you go with (presenter or anyone else in chat)?

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Hi Andrew! I think I was using the Vallejo Black Primer at the time (although I've since switched to the Badger one which I find doesn't block the airbrush so easily). 🙂

Is there a Citadel equivalent for Vallejo's german grey?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

+Bruno .FRod Hi Bruno! Mixing black with Machanicus Standard Grey will give a pretty close match :)

@fornalli 7 лет назад

I ended up using Eshing Grey :)

@MentoliptusBanko 7 лет назад

This chart says the equivalent is Stormvermin Fur... www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

@fornalli 7 лет назад

any other metallic color we can use with spiritstone other then skullcrusher brass?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi Bruno! Sure - it depends on what you want the finished look to be. If you use a silver underneath then you get a more pink-ish look, but using bronze/brass type colours you'll get a warmer more orangey look :)

@fornalli 7 лет назад

Sorastro's Painting oh I see. i'm using Fulgurite Copper. Thank you

@tobiasfrank7375 7 лет назад

Hey man, impressive. i need to ask you a question. All music composed by and © copyright owned by Sorastro. Did you record all that by yourself?!? The horns and choirs ? Or did you ask your chorus mates to do that for you?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

Hi Tobias! I did compose it all myself but I did it all at my computer using Cubase and the EastWest VST instruments which are live instruments that have been meticulously sampled :)

@tobiasfrank7375 7 лет назад

Wow, you really can do everything :D Thanks for answering. Have a nice day :)

@Gylas 8 лет назад

Which brand is your brush and which number ? Mine are not so clean ;(

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

+Gylas Hi Gylas! It's a Windsor & Newton Series 7 size 1 :)

@Gylas 8 лет назад

Thank you

@joshuaterrazas9076 7 лет назад

Why do you like to use the Windsor and newton brush? Also, would you ever consider hiring staff to help you produce your videos faster?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

+Joshua Terrazas Hi Joshua! I haven't tried that many brushes to be honest, but the W&M holds the paint really well, and has a pretty nice point. I couldn't imagine handing any part of the video production to someone else as it's all so tightly integrated. I am now producing at least one video per week however (thanks to my patrons I was able to quit my previous job to focus on these videos :) )

@joshuaterrazas9076 7 лет назад

Thanks for the fast reply. Few more questions. Why do you use the pallet that you use instead of something like a wet pallet? Also, after you hit your 2,000 dollar milestone and get a new computer would there be anymore milestones for new equipment or anything else to make these videos easier for you?

@Sorastro 7 лет назад

+Joshua Terrazas Hi Joshua! Although I do sometimes like to use a wet palette when I'm testing ideas out, I quite like to use a traditional palette for the tutorials because it allows me to keep the ratios of paint used nice and clear and easy to follow (hopefully!). I think if I hit the next milestone I will then plan to upgrade my camera (again!) to allow 4K production but also to maybe have a dual-cam set up with one on the palette and one on the "action" (and another just for taking the still, transitional shots - which is what I do now). That would minimise the amount of camera re-positioning I have to do for sure :)

@TheNotouchin 2 года назад

I was wondering why you didn't use a zenital highlight on this figure.

Hi! It was so long ago I can't actually remember..! :)

@joebloker8585 4 года назад

Do you use Diablo music in the background?

@Sorastro 4 года назад

Hi Joe! No; I composed all of the music myself, but one of the tracks was indeed inspired by the New Tristram Diablo theme 😀 open.spotify.com/track/3VKMWRQAYPSQXKTVopSBGI?si=qaoq9bE0RJyVYBzJXldORg

@MrValleyteacher 8 лет назад

I'm a big fan of yours, Sorastro, but a tutorial for "beginners"? You have layering, wet-blends, and at least two stages of highlighting. Not sure that is for a beginner....at least not how I understand the term. Sorry, just don't want anyone to get frustrated if they aren't pulling this off.

@Sorastro 8 лет назад

Thank you Jason! I do take you point. I suppose the term "beginners" has to be taken in context of the series; The layering and highlighting in multiple stages was introduced quite thoroughly in the previous episode, (not to mention that 60+ zombies were covered in episode 1) so I suppose technically anyone who has worked through the previous episodes is no longer a beginner as such!
