Dude, your painting was amazing, out of nowhere your video appeared here on my timeline, unfortunately here in Brazil it's hard to get quality paints, and even more so since I'm a beginner in the world of painting. Congratulations, it's perfect
It’s a great model to paint. If I can say anything you gonna need to bend the flames to get her to fit into them I snapped one off trying to do this so this time round I’m going to heat it up and glue her legs in then let it go.
Niiiice! Been outta town and no service. Excellent as always 👌. Glad to hear you're getting better at not talking like a robot to the camera 😉 anymore 😀.
Trying to lol. But this time I friggen pushed the levels too high and audio is clipping damnit. I can never win. So much learning to do maybe one day it’ll all go off without a hitch.
@@Groundeffected Actually I did manage to find it, but the link in your description just goes to a dead Patreon. Looks like they moved to another platform where the models are just sold outright. Or maybe it's another knockoff. I actually don't know how to tell :(
@@JohnVanderbeck oh yea he stopped his patreon. I think he may still be selling the files. But if you wanna check for sure send him a message on Instagram or something to be sure. And he’ll direct you or maybe sell them to your directly himself. Or maybe he did stop selling them.
Only thing I would personally change is have a green glow coming from the energy and Lantern reflecting off her. It would show more of a lighting from the energy. But it looks amazing as it is though.
Sure I wouldn’t mind to do that but the problem is that only really looks great from one angle so for photos it would be amazing, but for the purpose of collectible I kept it same as most collectibles. I would love to do something with that object source lighting on this scale in future. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!!
@@Groundeffected I understand completely. I have entered into many model contests locally, and MANY, and I do mean MANY, of the figures that i have seen seem to have almost the same type of shading to skin tones. I also see the same shading style on almost every collectable. On my 1/6 scale Tifa Lockheart I printed, I am thinking of doing a base that has a case of Materia near her feet giving off light from below and to show that, do some shading as if the Materia is glowing brightly and the Materia on her bracer is glowing as a reaction to her using them, which gives off light and her face is showing the reflection of the light.
@@Groundeffected Did you clip the base. I noticed that there were some of the base interleaving through the legs on mine so it was very tricky to place the legs on the base. I ended up printing the base at 73% and the body at 100% with the stl files I had. Not sure why they were like that.
@@Ellery-USA I think there was an updated file because the base was rendered the wrong size. But dPaula3d made it smaller to match. And the flame should’ve gone through her leg but I didn’t realise that and I just heated it and bent it away a touch
So I just read the description too. I don't use social media really anymore but I would to ask some questions about getting a commesion piece done like this if possible. I don't know how to really go about that maybe through pateron? Lol I'm used to buying statues through sideshow xm and prime 1 but I haven't done custom yet and this video might be what I need to venture out to it. Jessica Cruz Is by far my favorite female DC superhero :)
So ideally it’s probably easier to find me on a instagram then you can send me a message and we can talk about it. Bare in mind I’m not a manufacturer so the product is not the same nor will the pricing but it’s easier to send a message and we can go over everything for it!! Thanks for watching by the way!!
@@Groundeffected:/ Dangit yeah I got rid of all my social media years ago I just didn't like how anxious it made me but I do wish someone would invent a platform solely for collectors to buy and trade and stuff I've seen a few but etsy and ebay are the biggest ones and are far from optimal. If you have an email I'd be happy to contact you there or even patreon but I don't think I'll be going back to social media again youtube is about as close as I get lol.
@@Groundeffected lol it's all good I get it I work in IT and I'm pretty familiar with how messy having emails or info on the web publicly can be. I have never used pateron for much maybe if I sub I can message you there I'll look into a secure way after I'm off today. Thanks for the reply.
Beautiful piece, crisp and very clean paint job, could you please let me know what metallic green you use and also the airbrushed white, lays nice and flat and with very good coverage for what I see on cam. Thanks for your videos.
The green is a mix of gsw sire scale green and ork flesh contrast but I’m sure I added a touch of yellow too. And the white is from army painters airbrush set
Looks great dude! I personally don't like using the vallejo masking liquid much. Perhaps I'm just using it wrong but I find it dries too quickly and that my brush will lift off a layer I just put down. Also have you figured a way for it not to ruin the brush?
It does dry quick but I put it on thick to combat this. And only use thin layer for more detailed areas. Otherwise I smoosh it on thick. And to clean the brush (this isn’t gonna help you though) I use a 15mag tattoo needle to “comb” the bits out when it dries. Want it to dry quick just dip in alcohol, insta dry
@@Groundeffected I comb similarly just using an exacto blade haha but yeah it doesn't help for preserving it for more detailed applications later. Curious if there are any better brands of liquid mask this is the only one I've used
Outstanding as always! But dude, how the hell do you get those crispy 3D printings??? Not a single support damage or anything… What printer do you use for this kind of big figures???
I did a video showing my support setting on miniatures. I may do one on large models too but it’s much of a muchness. Many hands make light work. So using more smaller supports is a bit less damaging than one or two large supports.
@@Groundeffected Yeah, I’ve copied those settings, still looking for some time to do a print test. I hope I can get printings half as good as yours lol If I use medium only, figure always de attaches from supports, so I have to use heavy ones that leave a lot of damage to the model… and of course, being figures like super heroes like yours, it’s a pain trying to get smooth surfaces…. I’ll let you know how it goes!!! Thanks again for your videos!
@@azhorel I use 99% my mediums. I’ve been told I put too many supports but my models come out pretty clean so I don’t really mind what people say. I’ll maybe make a video on a larger model to try show you how it’s done.
So this is more important before you start painting. You need a good base layer or primer layer to hold the layers above. But an easy way to seal is just a matt spray clear in a can just a light dusting is usually good enough or give your paint a day to dry fully before you mask it.
With the green resin fire, did you print it hollow or solid? And did you do anything specific to get it to look so clean? Just about to start work on it and was wondering if you could help with some tips on that part before I start? Thanks for all your videos!!
It might be your secret and that's cool if it is, but I just bought a beautiful Green Lantern model from Sanix3D and I cannot find a metallic green that I like. I tried a few recipes, but they failed. Could you give me your recipe for your green? Thank you either way and thank you for your videos.
Fantastic video, painting and explanaition as always.Can i ask when you print the base with clear green resin and hollow it, did you left supports in it or you printed the base without supports inside? Thanks and keep with the good content.
I made a big hole in the bottom and put some supports then could pull them out from the big hole. Not a lot though cos they’d leave marks inside and you can’t get there to sand them
Painting including prep work is about 25hrs for this particular one. Some can be up to 50hrs and others can be as little as 5/6hrs it really depends on the details and difficulty of the paint job.
First time viewer but Omg this is amazing I pre ordered the xm studio version of this but my gosh Id buy this really well done. I draw comics but I don't know how to paint objects like this just using copics on paper :). Would you ever consider selling one of these?
@@Groundeffected yeah appreciate the reply tbh I still would love to get a statue custom printed and talk about pricing it's bit busy for me lately with work and honestly just budgeting for Christmas too hopefully I can figure something out soon but one of the issues I'm running into is space lol not sure where I'd put her just yet I had to make two trips to Ikea this last week to buy new furniture because I was out of room if I can though I'll let you know for sure you have made one of the nicest models I've seen painted even if the render was someone else's image that paint is nice
I usually do most colours as a group so yea kinda but it’s not too difficult to come back and do the same colours you can use glazes to hide any mistakes.
I’m on my first upgrade so I’m using iwata eclipse brush and I’m not sure but my compressor is a biggish orange one lol it’s a no name but was a touch cheaper than the house brand they had at the airbrush shop.
Kinda but not exactly but it’s the right idea. As a start that works then you need to start placing highlights in more specific areas but as a base that would work.
Dude, I gotta ask, wtf are those sticks you use to hold the pieces and how do you attach them. You use blue tack? Or do you glue them into the keyed holes? How the hell do you keep the part on there?
Oh okay. Thank you. I was just asking because I printed some clear resin and when I gloss clear coated it, it came out cloudy. Do you do anything before you clear coat it? Sorry I'm new to this.
@@jckipfer how did you gloss it? And did you clean it first? theres so many reasons why it could do that. But just make sure your surface is clean and spray consistent thin layers not thick layers
@@Groundeffected I must have not cleaned it well enough. When I sprayed the clear coat, it seemed like it didn't stick well. I don't know if maybe I should have sanded it first. Thank you for the help! Your videos are awesome!

for every new subscriber you get, you have a new subscriber. Brilliant!
This is very true!!
Awesome! I like the color blend for the metallic green you did.
Thanks. I had to mix the metallic green I had with a couple greens to get the right colour but it worked out in the end.
Very nice work and the model is a great looking one also.
Thank you very much dude.
Dude, your painting was amazing, out of nowhere your video appeared here on my timeline, unfortunately here in Brazil it's hard to get quality paints, and even more so since I'm a beginner in the world of painting. Congratulations, it's perfect
Ah man I heard there was somewhere to get army painter I think. Is there a way to order from USA? Or Mexico maybe?
Looks incredible!
Thank you
Found you on tiktok. Just subbed. I'd love to get into painting models!
You gotto do it it’s so fun!
Thanks for this I have this print and it was good to see your process

No words. Fantastic. Is that model available anywhere?

Amazing work brother

Around 20-25 hrs over a couple days.
What paint Is that green u use for the model can you please share a link for the paints. Thank you
It’s green stuff world metallic green with contrast ork flesh mixed into it to increase the saturation.
@@Groundeffected thank you appreciate it

Yes 👍🏻 and sometimes airbrush medium.
Awesome video man, have a new sub too
Thanks dude. And welcome to a bag of crisps dipped in a bowl of water. Haha

@@Groundeffected you do right bro, do whatever works, I airbrush, my frame painting videos have more views and likes than my fpv stuff lol
So you essentially just use that Vallejo set of skins in a zenithal type way?
Kinda but not exactly but it’s the right idea. As a start that works then you need to start placing highlights in more specific areas but as a base that would work.

Jolie 👍 , quelle taille de pinceau recommandes tu pour un débutant
Size 2/0 Size 2 size 4 those three are pretty much all you need. And if you paint large stuff then maybe get a size 6
Do u use a water base primer or something else
