    For models like this, you can get so much depth with:
    1. Airbrush highlighting
    2. Drybrushng
    3. Recess shading
    4. Traditional highlighting
    5. Final tint with an ink
    I also find that matt / satin varnish helps to unify really well. So very similar to what Byron does here. Great video as always!

    Hey Opus great video! Being a new painter I find it intimidating to mix contrast colors. Would be really educational to see you break down the different colors of contrast and how they mix. Maybe a video just on breaking down the color wheel and how you did that through painting your miniatures. That said this video really did help me, because I'm using the slap chop method for my GSC Acolyte Hybrids! I'm not sure yet on how to paint their arms after painting them with black speed paint. I want that cool blue outline with a good shade coming off the blue highlight. Havnt gotten that far but I would really love your feedback.

    Okay mate so you told me to drop a new comment not a reply.
    Looking at bigger models with flatter carapace and less *ridges* to follow, for example carnifex. Tyrant guard. Etc. Because the carapace is flatter (and curved at ends) - with larger spaces but with less ridges, whenever I try to do this method it feels like it looks out of place. In smaller minis, new termagants, Barbgaunts, I find it looks really good because there's lots of details to follow.

    • @ArtisOpus
      @ArtisOpus  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks, man :). OK, well firstly; your question makes sense, it is harder on bigger stuff.
      Remember, with this technique you can make things more subtle, and if you've contrasted under you're still going to have more interesting variation in the shells, which you don't want to completely pull the attention from.
      I'd take a cue from the smaller areas of the mini (e.g. up from the base of the tail where scales are smaller), do what you think is right there... If this looks good, carefully repeat it on the larger areas, but keep it quite subtle (thin repeated lines, in the direction/orientation that makes sense). Once you've done this, and an edge, you can knock it back with the repeated contrast step.
      Repetition is hugely important, and all the more on bigger stuff!

    I always get contrast paint into the base of the belly close to the ferrule. It happens when I rinse my brush. I do follow your brush cleaning video, but it doesn't always help with the ferrule part or the prevention. Any advice?

      Keep a chunky old size 3 or similar for the dirty tasks, you see the same one of mine used for the heavy stuff in pretty much every video of ours, it will keep your others pretty. You can't 100% clean the contrast out, but it will last for way longer than you think!

    Quick question, (I’m new at this so be gentle out there) do you normally paint the mini in pieces, and then assemble it or was this for demonstration purposes only. To be clear I’m not looking to paint an entire army, I don’t play (forgive me) I just think this approach makes sense when you want this amount of detail and I think it might make it easier, if not faster to paint. Thanks

    • @ArtisOpus
      @ArtisOpus  11 месяцев назад

      Unfortunately, it's something that's rife in the industry, if you're imaginative, you get copied... Mostly by people who don't understand just how hard it is to make things right (old-fashioned, high-quality materials, mostly by-hand), who take people for a ride with low-durability knock-offs :|.
      We're going nowhere mate, class is permanent, and we spend an average of 5 years developing and testing each product, it's normal for people to test what else is out there once, and then come back to the originals for good :).

      Absolutely, but our brushes are the toughest! Natural hair can be revitalised.

    I'm just a beginner, but it seems drybrushing brings out my details better than I can ever paint them. so : why not drybrush instead of edge highlighting ? does edge highlighting bring anything drybrushing cannot ?

    • @gesuschrist3285
      @gesuschrist3285 11 месяцев назад +1

      dry brushing does give you that really nice line work and can easily get messy on your paint job unless you are extremely diligent about where your brush is. as someone who shakes too much to consistently edge highlight, you can usually see the difference between the two on everything that i’ve done, but that just could be that i’m doing something wrong. hope this helps mate :)

    • @ArtisOpus
      @ArtisOpus  11 месяцев назад

      You're going for something bold and blunt with the edge highlight, so it's about subtlety! Both works well, though, one into the other :)
      Generally drybrushing probably looks more subtle and natural world, edging less so, but it's sure fancy!

    14:40 - This is a great tutorial, but I can't ignore when a large creator spreads flagrantly incorrect information. A gaming chair is absolutely mandatory if you want to paint miniatures well. It becomes obvious when you look back at GW materials from the 80s. You can see the much sloppier, more simplistic paint jobs they had to go with due to the lack of gaming chairs. You can easily see the throughline of miniature artistry improving hand-in-hand with gaming chair technology. It's only possible for professionals like Byron to paint on a stool due to the muscle memory he has of thousands, even tens-of-thousands of hours of sitting on a gaming chair. And even then, forcing your body to contort into that gaming chair pose without the chair itself is dangerous and harmful to your back muscles.

    • @ArtisOpus
      @ArtisOpus  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the input man, I hard disagree, though, a gaming chair might be mandatory for gaming, it's what it's made for... It's not been made for painting, though!
      On the assumption that we want to paint:
      a) Comfortably
      b) Safely (in a way that's not damaging)
      c) In whatever the exactly right position is for painting, light, stability, access, etc
      Your gaming chair might present several issues, one of the common ones being arms literally stopping you from being able to be in right position from your desk, but also height for elbows down, or wrists braced being achievable, without a curved back.
      Gaming position is arms down, wide (like the arms of the chair) painting is often arms up, wrists together, very different things.
      What do you think? Dangerously harmful to your back muscles is you hunched over getting your eyes as close to your mini as they should be, not you sat well supported, holding yourself up, but at no risk.
