Actually totally the contrary. I've been hoping you'd do a video on these paints as it really helps to understand the thought process behind them and their intended role. Not that I can't just use them for anywhere I need a dead toenail or poop color, but knowing they were intended for specific things I would never have thought of really opens up the possibilities for me in painting.
I'm really hoping Vince does the same with his set as I picked up both.
Pro Acryl and Ninjon are two of my favorite things, so this was like someone making a Dr.Pepper and pickles pizza. Like how am I NOT going to buy that?
Vince's video drops tomorrow!
Redneck Jon's paint names were better
They certainly are evocative! 😅
Some day we will be able to win Ninjon's set with special labels in a limited donation drive - or we absolutely should!!! That would be so fun! 😄
Yea is dead toenail going to be for sale!?
That’s Daryl
I oddly do want a redneck john paint collection now as well
I'll be incredibly sad if the paint isn't available in two versions, Redneck and Standard.
There are some colors I would like: finished tartan pattern, perfect eyes, realistic beard shadow and - very important - a universal color for all those things on a miniature only the sculptor nows, what it's supposed to be ;-) But those look very nice too! One color I recently discovered, is GOLDEN SoFLAT MATTE ACRYLICS, Paynes Grey. It is a very matte and dark grey, but much more interesting than VGC Dark Sea Blue. It is - in my opinion a very nice start for every black fabric or armor.
Boy then you might be happy to know that Vince's set has Payne's Grey ;)
dafuqueisdat is the name of the color
@@sebastianwei7721 that's a weird way of spelling black and hope nobody notices
Hahaha, dip your brush in and slather on finished tartan. What is this, a Don Bluth cartoon?
@@Micsma That was actually an April's fool joke on a painting site ;-)
I love your painting style, I've not painted a mini since the early 90's but you've inspired me to go back and redo some of the awful painting I did back then!
No, don't. Use those as a reminder of how you painted before, and play them proudly. Instead, dive back in with only one new model. Just one. You won't.
@@Micsma Agreed 100%. Seeing your progression is always inspiring.
Single pigment anything would be amazing! Especially the colors that are often used to mix things
You have been sleeping on this paint range .
@@karmaq8462 most definitely :] also, I am just here for the coloring advice and to support through views, as I am not a mini painter
As far as I can tell the transparant line is all single pigment.
Artist Inks :D
Kimera Kolors lel
God That plum looks so perfect I cant wait til it gets to my doorstep!
Ooh, those are good sets.
And I'm so glad there's finally a magenta in their range that doesn't have added white. The "Dark Magenta" (guessing it's single pigment PR122, because Vince) looks great!
Congratulations to you both and MH for doing the collaboration, and for the wonderful results! A+ 💝
Pro Acryl Jade changed my life. Every mini I've painted since I got a bottle of it in 2021 has featured the color to varying degrees. I even bought a couch that color.
😂😂😂 we now have the full triad. Jade, Dark & Bright ❤️
Paints I use a lot:
- Signal Black (Molotow) as my preferred primer through the airbrush; has a slight brown bias, which is very useful for painting warm colors
- An artist white ink (any brand will do, but have been using Royal Talens Amsterdam lately)
- Rhinox Hide (Citadel); unique dark brown with a purple undertone
- Metal Color Steel (basically any silver from Vallejo’s Metal Color range is great)
- Delayed Metal (Scale75); beautiful dark gold metal paint
- Burnt Umber (PBr7) oil paint for making washes (any artist grade will do)
- Kimera black is is my current favorite, AK’s 3rd gen Black my close second. Kimera’s is darker, while AK’s is easier to work with
- Brown ink OOP (Citadel); best looking wood color I have come across
- Inktense Wood (Scale75); for painting a more yellowish wood
- Sombre Grey (Vallejo Game Color); great rather unique grey with a violet undertone
- Chestnut Ink OOP (Citadel); really like orange-brown tones in general; Vallejo Skin Wash ink is also great and more importantly, still available
- Kimera’s The Red and Magenta
- Black ink (Vallejo); preferred for airbrushing because of it satin instead of glossy finish of other inks; usually mixed into other paints
- Earth (Vallejo Game Color); great for painting weathered bone, glazed over a zenthinal undercoat; also great as a base color for leather
- Agrax Earthshade (Citadel); mainly used for bases; also like (a thinned down) Wildwood, which is quite similar, but a little less dark when in the same consistency as Agrax
- Nathol Crimson ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent red paint; it’s on the colder side, without leaning towards a magenta
- Yellow Orange Azo ink (Liquitex); favorite transparent yellow paint, that might look neutral depending on the undershade
- AK terrains Muddy ground; lovely texture paint; just don’t slap in on too thick, because you will get a weird texture
- In general using Liquitex artist ink and Citadel Contrast paints a lot; I like almost all of them
“Walks the fine line between snot and baby poop…” HaHaha! As a parent of 4, I know EXACTLY what colour that is 😊😜😂
I make mini paints from emptying posca paint pens into dropper bottles...hear me out, it's acrylic paint, it's got a super matt finish, there's a huge range, it has great opacity, and it has a weird self-leveling quality that creates a really smooth finish. It does have certain downsides like it doesn't like being put on a wet palette, and if you use it too thickly it dries crackly but it opens up options I didn't have before. when I have enough money to pick your paints up I'll give them a try, they look great. and I know you are quite the paint collector so you know ya shizz;le when it comes to what works and what doesn't :)
I'm suddenly wondering what would happen if you put a drop of retarder in it.
A year after using these, my favorite has become dark ivory. Ive used it in just about every mini Ive painted since i bought it
i like that subtle hint there that "warm brown is basically rhinox hide" heh. if i can get the pro acryl version of that im all for it. mine arrive tomorrow can't wait to try them out!
I think the hint was directed towards Mournfang Brown. At least that's what the color looks like on screen to me.
i think you're right. proacryl mahogany already is pretty close to rhinox hide already. ill find out when i get the paint i suppose.
The dark ivory has become one of my most used colors. I've been waiting for this for so long
Not remotely the point, but the opening credits always make me smile. The fumbling reach for paint, the fumbling reach for a brush, the chair spin - never fails to get a chuckle.
These paints look interesting; I'll have to check them out!
Darryl is obviously THE talent behind Ninjon. It's amazing how far this channel has come with just a touch of Darryl.
Happy squirrel hunting!
"Yer god damn right" - Daryl
Huge Daryl fan here. That’s all I wanted to say.
What you've created there is a makeup bruise pallet! Forget triads, take a look at makeup pallets and you can find larger groups of comparing and contrasting colours x
I'm back at miniature painting after taking 4 years off from it.
I was able to mostly recover my Citadel paints, but they just don't behave like they are supposed to. Seriously, 1992 vintage Citadel paints just needed shaking to be good to go, but come Citidel paints from 6 years ago are just chunky goo, even after rehydrating and mixing with a vortex mixer...
After trying out 2 of their paints, based on you and Vince's reviews, I just ordered the entire range of Pro Acryl, including both signature sets.
Ey! Good on you guys! I LOVE the colours in both of those sets, and Sugs' set, too.
I'm colourblind, but I totally see, and more importantly, 'get' the colours in your set.
This guy should have been painting "a bat out of hell" instead.
But in all seriousness. Loved seeing both yours and Vinces colors come in a set from Monument. Wonderful work.
People behind pro acryl: is this the colour you were aiming for?
Ninjon: Yeah plum intended
Ordered 2 sets of each. One for myself and one for a buddy. Excited to use them.
Super cool that you and Vince got your own paint line from Monument Hobbies
I've been waiting for a ProAcryl Paynes Grey and one of my favorite Vallejo and AK tones Red Grey as a bonus!
Mine are showing up today. Both sets. Stoked to use them.
I had my eyes on these paints. But now you’re forcing me to buy them. Just got into pro acryl and i LOVE them.
I’m stoked about this! I’ve been watching your channel and listening to Trapped under Plastic for the last two years since I got back into the hobby. This is really cool to see this happening for you
I bought both sets last Friday when they came out. Great colors!
Really nice. That Dark Warm Flesh kinda looks like a Naples Yellow. Such a good color to have in the Pro Acryl range.
Me watching the first few colors: these are cool, but I don't know that I completely need them.
Me watching the brown: I need that. I need it now. Take my money, please.
For real though. That brown is the brown I've always wanted.
Now this is an infomercial I can support!
I recently went all-in and bought the Pro Acryl line-up, so I of couse had to add these too ... oh, wait, what is that ghastly sound? Oh, just the death cry of my piggy bank. 😂
Because they are so warm and go well together, i used both of the collections to paint little books in a shelf. Came out dope
Both sets were already ordered before seeing this but it's great to see them used by a master.
Waiting for this video all week. Grabbed two bottle from each of you. Should’ve bought the whole sets. Hope they aren’t limited! Super glad to see you go from nervous perfectionist start up you tuber to making your own ranges! Well done!
I would love to see a segment of Daryl painting up something befitting him. 😄👍
With him showing us why he paints a figure using 'Dead Toenail', and why he likes the object he picked to paint; like a tank, or even a Fairy ('Hey! Don't judge me. Fairies're hawt. And this 'Dead Toenail' really brings out her purty hair.') 😁😄
Seriously, I love seeing Daryl in these episodes. And he's always giving you suggestions for making and painting stuff.
Seeing his take on something (something you probably would never really paint. Or something you want to paint in a way most would say "Awhhgrblblgh! No!" But Daryl would paint it that way. 😉👍
Fantastic episode. Congratulations on having your own set of paints. 😎
Be Excellent and Party on. 🤘😎🎸🌈
Really like these kinds of collabs... getting creativity in a product direct from the pros that use them... Have both boxes ordered up and en route. Thanks John, great material.
Waiting for these paints to come in the mail next week. Excited to give them a try.! Thanks for your videos they are fun and informative
I am so excited to get my set delivered. The tones are all exactly what I've been looking for.
Makes paint range that he always needs to mix, proceeds to mix new paint range to make new colours.
Sweet! I have been wanting to try Pro Acryl paints for awhile now, and you just gave me the final shove I needed. Your recommendations of usage for each color were inspiring, and showed you really put some thought into each formula. There are a few I wished I had ready-made on my last project, especially the magenta, and plum. I ordered both signature sets, and am excited to start painting with them :)
I'm excited to pick those two kits up and completing my ProAcryl range.
Wow, congrats! These colors look to be really handy - I find myself constantly reaching for Ice Yellow, Dark Sea Blue, and Royal Purple from Vallejo. All are great for base coats, mixing, glazing, and more
ProAcryl paints have become my favorite to work with recently. Not sure if this is the case with all of their paints, but their light grey runs better through an airbrush than like, any of the other brands I've used.
So many of their paints get so thin in an airbrush while still maintaining their color it's crazy.
I wasn't planning on buying new paints today, but had to check these out. Heard lots of good things about Pro Acryl so looking forward to testing these.
Those are some beautiful warm colors man, and I am glad I have a way to support you. Looking forward to more videos of your diorama.
Paints on the way, got both of the sets since I love both your work and you both inspire me to do better!
Received both of the signature lines in the mail today. Absolutely love pro acryl paints, they've become the primary paint I reach for when painting a model, and I really like some of the color choices both you and Vince picked for your sets.
This is wild, and I think it really says something about your design choices: Today I was working on a mini with a kind of sickly/undead skin tone and I look around my desk for a good highlight color and see your red grey I bought and thought "this is perfect for unnatural flesh"
So good job! Thanks for creating the set.
Dead Toenail 🤣🤣🤣🤣
EDIT: Ordered your set from Element games..! Never used the Pro Acryl paints before, looking forward to it!
The paints are fantastic!
My go to paint is Nightsky Blue from Reaper, i find myself using it all the time
I'm really looking forward to my LGS to get these in stock. I've been excited about them since the announcement.
Got both sets in the mail yesterday! Such fantastic colors
My set just got delivered yesterday! Excited to test em out!
I've been using Vallejo Sunny Skin tone as a highlight, especially for red for so long, I'm gonna have to grab these sets. I literally ordered the rest of the Pro Acryl paints I wanted a week before these came out too. 😅
Just ordered both Vince and your set, can’t wait to use them! Thanks John!
Mine are in the mail! Got the shipping notice today. 😊
These are great colours! I really love that brown, can't wait to get some of these! I'm currently crushed that Vallejo has discontinued Ghost Grey.. I LOVE that colour. I use it as a mid-tone for white clothes, ghosts, snow... It's so good for being a "white" that I can make pop with some actual white highlights. It's a cool grey, but in a very "natural lighting" way that I appreciate.
Good stuff. Thanks Jon! I might have to branch out and give Pro Acryl paints a try soon. Also, every time I see your vortex mixer with the googly eyes, it makes me smile.
Browns. Because mixing paints is subtractive, any two random medium value shades are fairly likely to tilt towards brown when mixed - or at least a muddy tone. Any three almost certainly so. So if you need a brown, throw two paints together and see what you get, then try adding a third if you think you need to.
Or just buy the paint set advertised here. Looks pretty good!
You had me at the announcement post. Can't wait for them to come in
Red Grey is so clutch! Just got my sets yesterday, and they're so good
Congratulations @Ninjon! This is really exciting
Flesh tone looked amazing!
Overall great looking paints and very well done model! When resources allow I will be looking into your and Vince's paint lines.
Another enjoyable and informative video. I'd like to think that those of us who've enjoyed your work for some time now are actually happy, if not excited for your succeses. But this is the internet so....
Anyway well done sir, and continued success!
Whenever i take a brake from painting and want to get back on track, I start watching Jon's videos.
Some of my go to colors for pretty much any painting job are P3’s Coal Black, and Vallejo’s Ice Yellow. Great off black and white options.
I'm in love with Vallejo's Terracotta, and your paints just look like exactly the kind of stuff I mix in for it soooo
One of my old favorites I've never found a great direct match for is Citadel Nauseating Blue. Vallejo makes a closeish one (Sick Blue), and I've tried a few times to mix it myself without much success. For those unfamiliar, it lived in a Bermuda Triangle like space between midnight blue and warm violet and clashed jarringly with bright greens and oranges. Certainly not for every mini or even the majority of the ones it worked on, but for some monsters, sorcerers, and other things like that it was always perfectly rich and jarring in a good way. It'd be amazing to have a really vibrant close match, and incredible if it managed to be a 1 or 2 pigment paint.
I picked up your set a little while ago. Its an excellent set. I use dark warm flesh and dark ivory on everything. It mixes so well with everything for highlights.
I have definitely been leaning on Golden SoFlat acrylics ever since the video last year and haven't looked back but now these are just so pretty!
Thanks for the work! just ordered both of yalls sets
Just grabbed some of both lines of paint and I absolutely love them. The ones I got were actually slightly thicker than my other proacryl paints which I really liked as well.
Loving the Magenta, good job dude.
Really love your videos. You got me into the hobby. Waiting for my first mini to come in, to paint it. I know it won't be as amazing as yours it's all about baby steps and progress. Thank you for all your video's I have been learning a lot. I will be buying both paint sets.
Ugh im painting cthulhu creatures and now i need these.
..
Game changer, when you own pro acryl/sc75 and only have 5 or 6 GW paints, THESE colours fill those 5 or 6.
I think this was a fantastic video! Very cool to see your thoughts play out on the cultist. Looking forward to painting with these paints :)
As soon as they are available to pre order at my FLGS I will get yours and Vince’s❤
Dark Ivory looks like one of the colours I use a ton.
Rakarth Flesh. I cannot state how much I love Rakarth Flesh. It's got a yellowy overtone with a cold undertone. I got the Two Thin Coats equivalent because I love this colour so much, and hate GW pots.
I notice in flesh tones that there's a variation in warmth, not all highlights are warm on real skin. So even when I'm doing a warm skin tone, sometimes I'll put down the peachier tones I've used for the cheeks and lips, and use rakarth flesh to mix some colder highlights.
There are plenty of areas where I'm making something warm, and mix RF in for more interest in the highlights.
I also love it as a base for white tones, because it gives the impression that something is old and dirty, which fits the style for grimdark sci-fi and fantasy well. Or sometimes I use a neutral brown and highlight with some hatching, for a burlap look.
When I was a newbie who used GW paints exclusively, I had Rakarth Flesh, and Screaming Skull available at all times for mixing highlights in basically every other colour.
Is this the start of painters having their own paint lines within brands!? This could really jumpstart a whole new level of paints that can be bought with confidence knowing your favorite hobbyist have helped craft them. So glad you and Vince got the opportunity to great unique sets. Im hoping I can pick them both up this year
Kimera have had signature Artist blends for a while now, so not quite the start, but it’s a nice trend. And then you have ppl like Juan and Angel developing for Vallejo, and of course the AP speed paint YT creators. Though those aren’t “signature” lines. Interesting that Jon now will have paints for two companies
@@mattcurr9931 And two thin coats!
Great paint review, Ninjon! Just ordered both signature sets from Monument Hobbies. So looking forward to using them on my models!
My order is arriving today!!! Can’t wait to use y’all’s new paints!!!
Just ordered both sets and can't wait to use them! Thanks for the amazing content
I'm excited to get my hands on these! A good brown is so hard to come by, I'm very excited to try yours out!
I'm also very excited to see what/if you do anything with the Army Painter Speedpaint stuff
*Looks at the mixture of Mahogany, Transparent Orange and Yellow Ochre on my palette*
*Looks at Warm Brown*
*Looks back at palette*
"Fin - a - FLIPPIN - ly!"
Both sets arrived on my door today. Hoping that Dark Warm Flesh is the perfect replacement for Sunny Skin Tone and Paynes Grey is my Dark Sea Blue replacement. Thanks for the great explanation of what to use these colors for.
2 parts Vallejo dark Prussian blue, 1 part Vallejo dark vermillion, and 1 part black makes a nice color for the shadows of eighth legion astarties armor. If you use a medium gray instead of black you get a really interesting purple
I agree with the naming scheme Monument Hobbies uses. It's burnt umber not Ogre nipple.
The full sets don't seem to be available until February this year, however they are available individually, so I've invested in the skin tones for my large statues and thinned down they airbrush beautifully, great tones and excellent finish. Well played Sir.
Payne's Grey is such a great colour, and it is indeed one that I find myself mixing a lot (to shade metal p.e)
After watching the video I noticed that PG is from Vince's set 🙃
The video is a great demo of your set tho, will give it a go 🙂
5:50 I really appreciate their naming convention. I think that the original magenta has white in it, so could have been called light magenta and your signature paint, just magenta or medium magenta. Dark magenta on the other hand, since it contains just one pigment that is by no means dark, is quite odd like you mentioned earlier in the video.
Yeah, the magenta thing bugs us, but we don't like to change names if we can avoid it. Might happen down the road anyway :D
Picked your colors up! Happy to help support your channel and I love the new colors! Keep up the good work!
Love the paints! My two favorite colors I mix constantly is a deep brown gray and a dark evergreen.
AWESOME! Buying both sets now. This was a great video. I have seen the Pro Acrylic but like any other non-pro painter, I was skeptical.
I saw these on Michtoy I think for preorder a couple of weeks ago & was intrigued. Will definitely have to check them out, especially as I want to add some more Pro Acryl to my collection (standing at 1 color so far).
A bright pure blue without just being dumped with white would be amazing!
I love citadel paints! using the contrast medium on paints which aren't contrast paints is one of my favorite things, I love seeing how the colour coats with the medium!
Do wish they did colour shift paint though!
And I just purchased both sets! Can't wait to use them.
Just picked up the sets and can’t wait to paint. Also the one thing I love using is a wash I made with Musou Black
