    Just a quick reminder: Fire/flames are hotter on the "inside", so you shouldn't highlight flames, you should "downlight" them.

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  2 года назад +2

      Yes definitely, I went with the route of using the moon dust and arid earth on the bottom and in the inside parts of the lower flame near the body. And the odd highlighted but is where the flames break away and you get those whisps :)

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  2 года назад +2

      hmm interesting, it dries pretty yellow for me, it does have an orangey look when first applied though. Id say go with a touch more medium, at least that will thin it down more in order for the white underneath to come through a bit. Let me know how you get on! :)

    How would you recommend doing this for a transparent model (like a DeepCuts elemental or such), would you change the general method or is something special needed?

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  Год назад +1

      Oh gosh thats an interesting idea and i've not tried that on a transparent model before.
      If i were to try it myself (ad would want to keep some of that transparency) then i would spray matt varnish the model first and then apply the speed paints in a similar method to this video - that way you would get (hopefully) a semi transparent looking flame :)

    heavy, probably a very beginner question but i cant really find it anywhere: Do u have any advice regarding how u fix the model or part like that ? It seems like u have it on some kork with a needle ? or what is it ? and then how is the part fixed to taht ? glue ?

    • @SwordsandBrushes
      @SwordsandBrushes  Год назад +1

      Good question and thanks for asking it, with this specific piece it was spare so i didnt need to glue it in the end.
      But some of the time having a 'sub assembly' like this is great - especially if its on a complex miniature / or you want to spray different sections with a specific colour.
      I drill a small hole (which wont be seen after its glued) and it gets superglued to a bit of paperclip - which then is in a bit of cork to make it sturdy and easier to handle.
      Once done i just pop it off and then superglue the parts into place.
      Hope that helps! :):)

      Blue fire would be awesome! If you want something a bit lighter than magic blue then definitely mix in some normal paint to alter the colour a bit. I have used both normal acrylic paint and airbrush paint to change the Speed paint colours :)
