    Scott, people think you are short because you are at best between 1 to 3 inches tall on a phone. Taller on tablet.

    After 4 years of watching your videos I actually think this is one of my new favourite videos of yours. It just feels like authentic, classic Scott, all the aspects I enjoy about your content, exploring a technique, not being afraid to show failures, goofy dumb humour and brilliant skill. 10/10

    Don't take this wrong, but it's actually really nice to see people who are much better painters than me have serious struggles with their projects. Watching 20 minutes videos where everything looks awesome, and then struggling for days on my own, much more humble projects, can get discouraging sometimes. It's reassuring to see you struggle and get frustrated sometimes.

This is a really good introduction, while making the quality of your final product better. Always happy to see a new video from you. You reignited my love for mini painting.

    This is one of the nicest mini painting video I've seen in a while, there are tons and tons of tutorials to do different stuff already, but seeing someone share their path to trying new stuff, their reasoning, the mistakes made along the way etc.. it is very inspirational and makes me want to keep trying new stuff even if I have no idea of what I'm doing. Also I'm jealous of that brush control I gotta keep working on it!

  • @darrinscott6612
    @darrinscott6612 Месяц назад

    Great work! I think the face turned out awesome. Since skin has a satin sheen, I think it's okay that you made it reflect a little more light. The only party that didn't sell for me was the muzzle flash. Even actual fire doesn't have much red in it, and it needed more white. I'd have stuck to yellow, white, and a tiny bit of orange, essentially brighter so that the brightness of the light source matches the intensity of the light it casts. Additional reference photos may help with this.

  • @Boardertron81
    @Boardertron81 29 дней назад

    Long time listener, first time commenter..
    As a computer graphics guy who loves lighting, i can relate to the struggle. I think the biggest tip i can give you is to witness how lights are affected by exposure.. bright lights often require a fast exposure.. so everything else becomes really dark with strong shadowing. If you expose to keep the dark areas lit, then the 'OSL' would be over exposed and crazy bright (often glowing and flaring on the sensor/film).
    In short as you cant paint brighter than pigment white, you need to darken everything to create the contrast from exposure and create the illusion of something bright. Light falls off in a very particular way so try think of it in two different parts, brightness (light and darks) and colour.. Love your work! I think OSL is one of the harderst parts of model painting. Im excited to see you conquer it!

  • @SamuelKellyStudio
    @SamuelKellyStudio Месяц назад

    Awesome vid man! Something that gets my goat with a lot of mini painters is overly saturated and orange/pink skin tones. You'd be surprised how grey and muted traditional portrait painters worked apart from a few hints of higher saturation that tricks you into thinking its way more saturated than it really is.
    Mini painting in general is plagued with saturation addiction and I see it a lot with junior artists in video games too. Just like value, temperature and chroma, saturation plays a massive role in structure and giving the eye areas of rest.
    You should look into Anders Zorn and the Zorn palette... Painting portraits with Red, Yellow Ochre, black and white (and nothing else) is a good wat to experiment with saturation control.

    Great video, Scott! I enjoyed the process, and am looking forward to more.
    An idea I had while watching was that you might enjoy using blender to create lighting mock ups as a preplanning step. If you're using STLs you can import them into blender and use scale light sources with intensity and falloff controls to do true to scale mock up of the OSL light source. Similar to holding a light to a model but with minute detail control. Although it would only work with models you have an STL of.

    I listen to TUP and I know for a fact you watched the Masterclass for your own model "The Witch", so there's no excuse for not knowing all the technical OSL stuff! lol You're still leagues above me in painting prowess but I recently challenged myself to get good at OSL. I set a challenge for myself to have every single model I paint to have some sort of OSL or multi-light setting going on and in only 3 or 4 models I've improved so dramatically It doesn't even look like the same person painted them.
    One thing, I learned from this video that honestly I haven't though of that much is how light effects whatever color is underneath, and I've mostly been doing my OSL strongly influenced off Ben Kantor's Terminator diorama, where the green OSL is not strongly influenced by the red armor of the terminators. This has made my introduction to OSL a lot easier. Maybe next I'll try something more what you did in this video.

  • @finalcountdownsteve
    @finalcountdownsteve Месяц назад

    I’m blown away! This is me offering unsolicited advice, but to bring more focus to her face you can desaturate the muzzle flash a little. Adding light grey to the outer edges pulls the focus into the middle of the flash like you did with the white in the middle but taking away some of the saturation on the edges could help to frame that element. I figured this out on a rocket plume, you did something similar on the Drukhari jet on the rocket exhaust. Also, a secondary light source in the diorama that lets you give her face the accent lighting you want is totally a good solution here. Awesome work Scott, loving the videos, super cool that you’re keeping to the weekly uploads.

    By the way, I find it for OSL that it works best if I push the contrast to extremes. I watched how Elminiaturista does it a bunch of times and I do a similat method. I highlight to pure white, apply the ink. Then highlight again with white, and apply a different colour. Yellow for red OSL for example. I have a really hard time with purple and magenta OSL though. But works very very well for red, orange, blue and green.
    For the light cast around the source I usually only apply the ink without previous highlights. It tends to create a lot of contrast with the light source and the material it is cast on. If the lit object is behind the light source (like a sword in the hands of a mini) it creates a "glow" area for the OSL from the moneyshot angle which helps sell the effect more.

    I think the reason is how you show up at the table. Most tables are rather high for mini painters to get a more pleasant positure. In this video I saw it a few times that the table is around your chest. This suggests to the viewer that you are small :D It reminds me of how my son sits at the dining table :D
