Great tutorial, thanks! It would be great to see how you completed the whole shield, so we can see how the reference lines up with the finished article.
Ill try this out next time i have a sword to paint. Stealth/camo effects video would be awesome, ive got a lictor on my to do list that i want to do something different with.
That's a shiny non-metallic metal result on that Orruk's spear blade. The green and blue reflection on parts of the metal effect is splendid work. Have a good Christmas holidays and a happy new year painting new minitures in 2025. 🎄🎁🎆
I always get kind of frustrated with how big these things look in videos but then I'm trying to recreate this stuff and the damn things are tiny in my huge hands and I can barely even see what I'm doing XD
How best to explain, I would like to see a color exploration of firelight and moonlight along the lines here. There are lots of OSL firelight/moonlight videos out, including you. My issue is less how, as what should be painted color wise? I am painting a "viking" bust, specifically the Padded viking bust from Loot Studios. His head is turned and I want him doing something like turning to look back at a burning village. How does firelight work on different materials and colors? How would you paint firelight on a dark green or dark blue cloak, dark leather, a real light leather, wood, fur, blackened metal like axe heads and helmets that are not buffed shiny. but left blackened? Fire that is close like a lamp or cooking fire would be brighter and more shadow, but a burning house/village would be less directional and further away, so more muted. Many camp fire photos just make people look red or black, but we need to keep our base colors in. I am unsure of how fire, red or a magical color interact with materials and colors and whether to paint the color and wash or glaze the firelight over or to paint the fire color directly. other videos show how to do, but not what is happening with the colors. Does that make any sense? Maybe I am just complicating things.
I'll be honest here and say that I dislike the look of NMM, it feels to me that it'll look good only from certain angles and if not looked at these angles the paint will have it's metallic "sheen" look really fake. That's why I'm a fan of the True metallic metals look.
That would look great in the Display Cabinet from your Kickstarter... oh, wait, what do you mean they have not been delivered 2 YEARS LATER? And you are just giving vague and false responses to the backers asking when they will receive them?!
My advice is to just try NMM. After you finished painting the miniature you can critique yourself and look to improve. I'm currently doing NMM on a large 54mm scale space marine. It's not perfect. But It's looking really good after years of practice.
non metallic metal has a look to it though, often times it looks better than just slapping on some metallic paints (though IMO using metallic paints in your non metallic metal can look even better)

As a follow up, NMM on a big flat surface. I tried to do a blade that was straight up and down and all I could manage was a very bad zebra.
I would love to see NMM tutorials for other metals, like gold/brass, bronze, and copper. This was amazingly helpful!
Considering I hardly ever paint nmm I found this really helpful. Now to try it out!

Seeing some different recipes like (the gold for that mask shown) or how to handle larger rounded or nmm on hammers would be cool!

Amazing tutorial. Going to try it out this holiday. Could we have one for NMM gold, please?
A great tutorial as ever, is it odd Im most excited by the eggs?
Please do the shield of a Saurus warrior in gold/bronze NMM :)
Need that egg in my life
It never fails to amaze me how incredibly realistic he can get these tiny details

@zwenkwiel816 eyeballs, seriously

How awesome 👍👍
You are a Patron Saint of NMM. Thank you.

Uh...there are metallic paints...

@@zwenkwiel816 A combination of both is the happy middle ground
