I still find it wild that Lucas always puts himself under some sort of time crunch with his entries and always manages to place in these competitions - Lucas is that good. Congrats to you both!
If I could paint something like that to half of that standard, drink coffee and eat pork sandwiches in a town square and tour around looking at scenery, I'd be a happy man.
im surprised the witch one dint place higher tbh maybe the character wasnt as interesting to the judges but the paint itself/shadow placement was incredible
I was judging, and honestly it´s all about taking everything to the maximum. shadow, light, composition paintaplication, and all the rest just needs to be at the very highest level. you can paint rough areas as well, but those have to be done well and deliberate as well. fact is that rushing something to completion in a few days just dosen´t give you enough time to refine. those days are gone when the levels are so incredibly high.
This is honestly one of my favourite videos of yours! Thanks for showing off such a cool area of this hobby, and going through your thought process along the way. It’s impressive how much content you were able to fit into 20 minutes, while also making it feel fast and engaging
Like well deserved! One of my favorite channels to check out with your positive, natural and viewing friendly way to go. Keep on painting those amazing models!
@07:28 it sounds like (to us non Swedish speakers) Emil is casting a spell on Lukas! 🤣🤣 What I love about Emil & Lukas is they inspire me to be a better painter, I’ll never be near their level but they do inspire me to push myself as a miniature painter ❤️
Reaper Miniatures has a similar set up for their painting competition at their yearly con. If your miniature gets rated as gold quality, you got a gold, or a silver or a bronze, or whatever. You're not competing against the guy next to you, you're competing against yourself. Of course all the gold medals get put directly into the trophy category, where you are in competition, but that's different.
Lucas you've inspired me brother.. I've been having a hard time getting motivated to start painting again.. Your paint jobs were so good.. I especially enjoyed the witch.. the idea to paint the shadow reflections was a pretty dope idea.. thanks for sharing the journey!
thanks for letting me re-live Monte once again. it´s always a good feeling seing others have a good time in the small town in Tuscany. - also, I think you exactly captured what´s so great about the event. there is a competition, and it´s the reason most people go. but once you´re there, it´s not really about the competition anymore, it´s about the people
I don’t usually comment as I just enjoy absorbing your talents, but this time Lucas it’s hats off. That was an epic show of not only your skills, but your drive and commitment. Seriously well done! Also to your editor for his gold.
Congratulations Lucas!!! Outstanding work, outstanding approach, and outstanding perspective on the whole experience. Maxim (sp?), simply excellent! It looks like you guys had a really, really good time and the juice was worth the squeeze.
I could never be disappointed with anything you guys produce. You also drive me to spend ANY free time I have to paint as much as possible! Keep up the amazing work fellas!
Greetings from Texas! I just got into Warhammer 40K and now the algorithm recommends me a ton of painting videos LOL! Love the Channel. You guys are hilarious and exceptionally talented. I could never in a million years paint a model like y'all.
I love these type of Nerdy traveling videos from you guys! Always fun to listen to some Swedish being sprinkled in the videos. Man blir ju sjukt sugen på att åka till italien efter eran video!
I purchased all 3 of your paint sets. Being in the UK i was expecting import duties but nope. All clear and delivered to my door in around a week. Great stuff. And well done on the placements. As always, impeccable work.
Lucas you are a damn good painter 😲! Every time i see your painted mini's i get inspired an demoralized at the same time 😛! Would be cool to see a recap of your favorite mini's you paint, or a video about who inspires you and helps you to grow(the we get 10 minutes of Lucas watching Lucas paint 😛😛).
Aaaawesome minis and congratulations on the bronzes Lukas! I would love to see you working on a new entry for the next monte san savino show over the course of several months! I'm not gonna lie, seeing you pushing yourself so crazy hard makes my bloodpressure rise
Bronze at Monte is an insane achievement given how amazing the competition for each masters category is so congratulations. I am a huge fan of your work, you inspire me to keep working hard and improving in my painting :)
I would kill to see you guys build and paint a gundam model (gunpla)! As someone who was very into Warhammer models as a kid but found them along the way - it’s so cool seeing you paint these miniatures in such a great way.
Sweet video. Congrats to Lucas! Maybe i got distracted but my only critique would be that of the several pieces you entered, I didn't see which three were the medal winning entries. I am sure that I could go back and cross reference the categories entered vs. won but maybe that could have been clearer (maybe it was and I spaced out). Anyway also congrats to Mr. Editor Man (sorry I suck at names) for the GOLD!!! Must have been such a great experience. You guys are so amazing already and only getting better. It blows my mind that there are so many other talented painters out there, that Lucas only got bronze for those two new ones. (I am assuming that they won for sure and I just zoned out too much.)
Lucas is a machine. I don’t know how you do it. I painted professionally for a year and a half and it was brutal for me. I can’t believe how hard you guys work and it still seems like you enjoy it. Good work!
auhhuahua a friend of mine just sent me this video, i didnt expected to find myself in it at 14:57 on the right hugging with my friend Daniela. none of us expected to be called ahuhuahuahuahua as i shouted during the whole premiation: BRAVI BRAVI! everyone did an outstanding job! it was my 1st time and partecipatie was incredible already
Dude! I was there in the stage for fantasy maser painting picking up a bronze with you. There were a few times where I thought about going to say hi, but then I felt like I was going to interrupt a conversation, or you were busy, and ended up not doing it, but oh well. Congratulations my man, I saw every piece of yours, some of them didn't know were yours, and they looked amazing. See you around next year, hopefully!
That first revealed piece looks like it’s digital art with how good the details are. If I had just seen a picture and was asked how it was made I wouldn’t have said it was a miniature bust.
I still find it wild that Lucas always puts himself under some sort of time crunch with his entries and always manages to place in these competitions - Lucas is that good. Congrats to you both!
The crazy bit is him doing two minis for the competition in like a week 🤯
@@SquidmarMiniatures Yea, what he's able to produce is just crazy! Maybe - JUST MAYBE - he gets a cookie... maybe!
It's unbelievable what Lucas does in 5 days. I couldn't accomplish that level in 5 months, and I have been painting longer than he has been on earth.
Now imagine he plans this properly and has months to paint his competition pieces, they might have to invent an award past gold for that :D
@@SquidmarMiniatures Careful not to burn out, making yourself paint so many thing with such tight schedules
If I could paint something like that to half of that standard, drink coffee and eat pork sandwiches in a town square and tour around looking at scenery, I'd be a happy man.
It was nice meeting you again and also Maxime ... keep on happy painting! 😊
That first competition looked like such a chilled event - great seeing so many people getting awards
As a novice, I can never understand how the judges can pick winners...they're all so good to me!!
Thanks for the most epic weekend in Italy guys! Lukas and Maxime are frickin BEASTS!!!
Bibedi bobedi my guy ❤
If he got a bronze for those models. I would love to see the gold entries
I came here to say that exact same thing.
@@TheMondayKnights i came here to tell you, that you can see gold on the internet ;)
im surprised the witch one dint place higher tbh maybe the character wasnt as interesting to the judges but the paint itself/shadow placement was incredible
Gold were people like Marc Masclans and Albert Moreto Font. Monte has the best of the best there and a bronze is great achievement!

Thanks Lukas for doing such a kick ass job in our bust! And I loved the video re living Monte…I already can’t wait for next time!

Look at Emil being a wholesome master guiding silly little Lukas to greatness
Just want to show some love for the production value of your content lately, keep up the great work!

What I love about Emil & Lukas is they inspire me to be a better painter, I’ll never be near their level but they do inspire me to push myself as a miniature painter ❤️
"det e mindre på måla"= it's less to paint :)
Ye could get to their level, it’s all practice and growth!
Congratulations to both of you guys for your awards in Italy and then the competition back home. You are the man Lucas.

13:22 Amazing paint job
19:30 Skaven Adeptus Mechanicus
Congratz guys! Impressive work in such a small time!
There was a lovely "What if Anthony Bourdain was a mini painter" vibe to the video that I really liked ❤ Congrats, Lucas! 🎉
Huge congrats to Maxime, a beautiful piece!
I don’t usually comment as I just enjoy absorbing your talents, but this time Lucas it’s hats off. That was an epic show of not only your skills, but your drive and commitment. Seriously well done! Also to your editor for his gold.
Great job, you guys are an insane inspiration and source of creativity and knowledge for me. Congrats on the medals!!! Keep up the amazing content!
Great Video. I would love a longer video showing off more of the entries and people you met. I might never get to see one of these events in person.
Bro that bust you did is wonderful I love the eyes!! I wish you got to finish the ork though that would’ve been really cool!!
Maxime's face was the highlight of this video. SO good!
I’ve watched a lot of your vids lads and I’ve got to say, that is some bloody good painting there Lucas. Well done dude, level up.
Congratulations Lucas!!! Outstanding work, outstanding approach, and outstanding perspective on the whole experience. Maxim (sp?), simply excellent! It looks like you guys had a really, really good time and the juice was worth the squeeze.
Your army turned out REALLY well! I seethe with envy!
Congratulations Lukas and Maxime!!
I could never be disappointed with anything you guys produce. You also drive me to spend ANY free time I have to paint as much as possible! Keep up the amazing work fellas!
Monte San Savino is awesome and what a fantastic video with great art and great editing. Well done lads
Absolutely outstanding Lucas, your Flesh Tearers army is stunning , just stunning. Thank you for pushing me to improve on a daily basis!
Great job! Everything looks amazing!
i met lukas and maxim at the fantasia event and i just have to say, that they are SO KIND and easy to talk to
You do deserve a like mate - awesome painting, well done for pushing yourself!
Greetings from Texas! I just got into Warhammer 40K and now the algorithm recommends me a ton of painting videos LOL! Love the Channel. You guys are hilarious and exceptionally talented. I could never in a million years paint a model like y'all.
I love Lucas' super ergonomic painting chair.
I love these type of Nerdy traveling videos from you guys! Always fun to listen to some Swedish being sprinkled in the videos. Man blir ju sjukt sugen på att åka till italien efter eran video!
As far as I’m concerned Lucas you deserve gold your work is amazing and is at a level I strive to achieve. Hats off to you good sir !
I purchased all 3 of your paint sets. Being in the UK i was expecting import duties but nope. All clear and delivered to my door in around a week. Great stuff. And well done on the placements. As always, impeccable work.

I am always amazed how fast and good Lukas can paint. Congrats!
Congratulations. You did some utterly amazing work! 🎉
Love these Documentary-like videos. Keep it up and better planning next time!!
Lukas never fails to impress, love his painting
Congrats Lukas those are both fantastic paintings you did. I really love the mood of the wizard…so cool sir! Rock on!

And all the kitbashings
Always love army painting content!
Aaaawesome minis and congratulations on the bronzes Lukas! I would love to see you working on a new entry for the next monte san savino show over the course of several months! I'm not gonna lie, seeing you pushing yourself so crazy hard makes my bloodpressure rise
Awesome work guys!! Hopefully one day i will be half as talented as you two
Bronze at Monte is an insane achievement given how amazing the competition for each masters category is so congratulations.
I am a huge fan of your work, you inspire me to keep working hard and improving in my painting :)
Well, that dedication deserves not only a Like, but also a sub :)! Well done to both of you, your entries are amazing!
Well done Luca. Youre a star and incredible painter.
Looks so cool!! Some very beautiful minis :)
Gorgeous work!
Congrats!! To both of you
I would kill to see you guys build and paint a gundam model (gunpla)! As someone who was very into Warhammer models as a kid but found them along the way - it’s so cool seeing you paint these miniatures in such a great way.
Grinding a paint job for a tournament is peak happiness imo. Amazing job!Great video guys !
Congrats Lukas and Maxime! I hope one day I can paint as well as you both.

Absolutely gorgeous, it gives me a lot of inspiration and also aspiration to do the same ❤
Lucas is a machine. I don’t know how you do it. I painted professionally for a year and a half and it was brutal for me. I can’t believe how hard you guys work and it still seems like you enjoy it. Good work!
Such beautiful work. Congratulations!
Sitting here, on my THIRD repaint of a bunch of Space marines... Seeing Lucas stressing about his minis, makes me feel good about the proces.
yes mate I'm constantly going back and repainting my minis, part of the fun!
Ditto.. use more IPA for stripping than anything else..
good work boysssss! and congrats max!!
Great video content. I really felt like I was there and could feel the atmosphere. Was nice to see the painting for sure, but was a cool vlog as well.
auhhuahua a friend of mine just sent me this video, i didnt expected to find myself in it at 14:57 on the right hugging with my friend Daniela. none of us expected to be called ahuhuahuahuahua
as i shouted during the whole premiation: BRAVI BRAVI!
everyone did an outstanding job! it was my 1st time and partecipatie was incredible already
Inspirational stuff. Love it. Keep it up ❤
Congratulations to you both, well deserved!
Congratulations!❤❤❤
Lucas deserves more than a like! He deserves a cookie!!!
Congratulations! And awesome video
Congratulations Lukas, your entries were superb. Take a day off.
Well done Lucas super impressive well done 👏🏻👏🏻
Love the eyes on the bust they look amazing
This is some excellent painting and congrats on the wins!
Dude! I was there in the stage for fantasy maser painting picking up a bronze with you.

Congratulations my man, I saw every piece of yours, some of them didn't know were yours, and they looked amazing. See you around next year, hopefully!
Great job boys......Give em cookies Emil !!! That Harley Army looked pretty nice too. I played a lot of Eldar back in the early 90's.
Lucas is a Hero ❤ really like the editing Guy to
Amazing job, Lucas!
....okay, ya you deserve a like for that level of dedication to your craft and this art we all love
well done to you sir!
Lukas deserves a cookie for this video! My man is putting in work!
Great video, thanks for the inspiration!
Good job Lucas. You are the best painter.
Nice work!
Those Blood Boys turned out insanely good, well done! The Monte entries aren't to shabby either I guess :)
Congrats and well done
nice job on the minis Lucas.
Amazing work again!
That first revealed piece looks like it’s digital art with how good the details are. If I had just seen a picture and was asked how it was made I wouldn’t have said it was a miniature bust.
Fantastic, congratulations!
Was nice meeting you at Monte. Hope you come back next year. Chris
amazing video absolutely deserved gold for such insane minatures
Monte was amazing, congratulations, great work=)
Outstanding job, keep up the great work!
As always Lucas puts in the OT to get those minis painted. Good Job! Emil's turn next?
Nice going, Congratulations🎉🎉🎉
13:05 I don't know what that is, but it's absolutely fucking AWESOME.
So good. Lukas. I want to see the gold ones if you had bronze. So freakin goood!
Congratulations Guys.
