I always enjoy the intro "Hellooo everybodeeee!"
:D
My air brush booth is busted...gotta buy and new one. After seeing this I have a sudden urge to play Khorne.
That makes sense, I painted this so I could run more S2D khorne more often. :)
I think that to me, the most helpful thing about these videos (other than the techniques/methods themselves) is your constant reminding that when something looks ugly, it's OK, because you can always clean it up later. This change in thinking basically relieved me of all the pressure I've felf during painting. So thank you Vince.
It's so important. A figure often has to look ugly before it looks good. It's nothing to worry about, just part of the process.
I'll probably never own an airbrush but I always enjoy learning about different techniques to achieve great results. Great job mate!
Thank you, always happy to help. I will say, if you ever get the chance, it's completely worth it. :)
I always learn something new watching your videos. Thanks for all the content.
Thank you, always happy to assist. :)
I'm so in love with this miniature and what you did with it.
Thank you, happy to help as always. :)
Omg I have been waiting for this! You sir are a legend!
Excellent, happy to help as always. :)
Thanks Vince for another fantastic tutorial! This one was very telling as it showed I have very little to learn - I can 100% of the time get a miniature to that ugly phase, it's just the little extra at the end to transform to your final result! :-)
Thank you, happy to help as always. :)
Great stuff Vince, I was just looking through your back catalogue to find something like this to use on my Hallowed Knights Magenta robes
Excellent, happy to help as always. :)
Was hoping for this since I saw your first slaves Lord. Thanks!
Excellent, happy to help as always. :)
whats the putty you used to mask the figure please? Great video again, Love your airbrushing content ( to be honest i love all your content!)
Obviously Vince is the only one who knows what he used on the video, but looks very similar to greenstuffworld airbrush masking putty, in case you want to check that out :)
It's either silly putty or masking putty.
Also know as panzer putty you can buy it from mig ammo and ak interactive etc... Ebay
This is Ak Camo Putty, but honestly, all of them are just basically silly putty, the stuff you buy in the egg for a $1.
Amazing. Cannot wait to get the classes at NOVA. Thank you for the video
Thank you, I am very much looking forward to NOVA, especially with all the cancellations.
What is the putty you use to mask the mini? I really need this stuff!
Probebly the greenstuffworld airbrush masking putty. I have it and it looks exactly the same. You can get it from there site, greenstuffworld.com
This is the AK Camo Putty, but honestly, they are all just silly putty. Like the stuff that comes in the egg. It's the easiest masking agent.
@@VinceVenturella Nice, thank you. I actually managed to order some of the AK stuff. It was £6.99 for 80g or something like that. Seemed like a reasonable price. But if that stuff gets wrecked with all the airbrushing, I know how to get it even cheaper. Cheers : D
Incredible, really! I too am wondering about the putty you use for masking. Do you have a hobby cheat video for that?
I do, I have a masking video - ruclips.net/video/TqzcgB6efzU/видео.html
In this case, it's AK Camo Putty, but honestly, it's just silly putty which you can get at any dollar store.
Fantastic video Vince many thanks for this I am learning alot from your video's and I have pretty much come back to figure painting and finding your channel has been a big help for me and inspiring many thanks kutgw 👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful to hear, always happy to help. :)
What would be a good substitute for the Vallejo Nocturna Crimson? Scale Hastur Purple perhaps?
The Golden Crimson seems trickier to substitute.
Scale 75 Hastur Purple is quite close yes, it's an interesting tone for sure.
Awesome video, good tutorial! Will you do a product review of 3rd generation AK-Interactive acrylics? Seems to be the new hot thing :D
Eventually I will, I have to wait until I can actually get them here in the states.
Vince Venturella looking forward to it!
Hey Vince! Tried watching this video & looking at your StD on insta to get some insights into how to handle incorporation of tint (in my case ice yellow) to volumes, on these kinda shiny, yet not fully NMM surfaces.
I seem to either get way too low contrast, or my armor reads way brighter than I want to (going for a deep turqoise)
Ill see you on pmp next month! 😅
The key is to get the volumes right for the size of the highlight based on the material in question. Looking forward to the submission.
I really need to buy an airbrush. I've been trying to have a similar orange tinted metal for my Deathguard, and it just covers any sense of metallic after the first glaze
Yeah, honestly it's the best hobby investment I've ever made. I can think of no single tool more valuable I have ever purchased for the hobby.
Looks amazing! Is there a video on how to do that blue axe? The pink and blue go so well together.
Sure, I have a couple of videos on weapons like that - ruclips.net/video/3wMUVQpACaQ/видео.html
With the masking putty it looks like, the rider sits on top of a giant blob beast.
The beast got Venom'd. ;)
I don’t have any crimson colours at home, could you give any advice on how to mix it? I understand that purple is a mix of red and blue, but how to get crimson?
Keep up the great work :) I already learned so much from your videos and I’m sure others feel the same.
So basically, you want a red with no orange in it, and then you bring in a dark blue, maybe a touch of true purple and you should get to a crimson. Hope that helps.
Vince Venturella that’s really insightful! Thanks, I will try to come up with a variant recipe for my Crimson Fists. So far I painted their fists red and not actually crimson ;)
A Karkadrak fused with the Venom symbiote?
MAY THE EMPEROR HELP US ALL!!!
Yep, the powers of chaos are expanding all the time. :)
Great videos Vince, love the content.
You mentioned about cold shadow and cold highlight. Do you have a quick list or some kind of reference for these rules for composition? I feel very uncomfortable with composition and color theory. looking to up my game.
I have a video on colour theory in this playlist. Composition and Color theory is a really, really, really, REALLY deep subject. Check out Color and Light by Gurney, it will help you out. The simple rule I was pointing to base here are warm highlights have cold shadows and cold highlights have warm shadows.
Vince, why do you saturate colours in the shadows? I've noticed you do this with glazes over quick NMM as well. Reason I ask is I would have thought shadows to be desaturated. Best example that comes to mind is the colour theory trick of putting complementary colours in your shadow areas; just a shortcut to achieving desaturated colours there, if I recall correctly...
Visual interest. Our goal isn't really to recreate reality, it's to exaggerate reality and make something visually compelling. Hue is always more interesting than black or white or brown (all non-colors effectively). So you always want to have some color. When you see canvas painters they often don't use black at all, but instead mix their own black from hues.
So it's not about saturating the colors in the shadows, those colors are still a LONG way from saturated, but they exist, and the goal is to have a hint of color there for visual interest.
Do you know if they'll ever offer the Nocturna Vallejo paints in open stock or do you have to buy entire sets to get them?
I'm not sure, I bought both the Red and Purple mult-packs, they are all great colors so I was okay with it. :)
Thank you Vince. Here's a question for what I am contemplating trying: would you approach in the same way a much larger scale subject (say a 17-25 cm robot like a gunpla /resin robot kit)?
Yes, except I would try to identify the larger volumes and make sure that there was more directional lighting (i.e. have some plates/areas more in shadow and some areas more bright).
Hey Vince, your videos have been giving me a lot to think about since coming back to the hobby. Love this scheme but im having trouble seeing where the light source for this model is as it seems backwards for the usual 'somewhere above' light sources. Also as a side question, how do you go about picking shadow schemes for models and do you make them consistent across the army/units?
If you mean why am I often lighting the bottom of the panels in this video, it's because I am going for a metallic sheen. On flat surfaces light tends to cascade and gather away from the light (basically the opposite of a normal matter surface). My honest answer is don't over think it. Light can work in lots of different ways. The key is to basically be roughly consistent across the model.
If you want a guide, this is where something like Zenithal highlighting can really help you out. You can also just hold the mini up to a bright light and take a photo with your phone. It will give you a rough sketch to follow.
Yes, I try to keep consistent across the army, but again, don't sweat it too much.
@@VinceVenturella Thank you for the reply. After another watch and some google image searches its starting to make some more sense in my head.
When you mentioned that 2 cold shades 'breaks the rules' - what 'rule' are you referring to?
Generally warm highlights make cold shadows and vice versa. So this is breaking the rules with cold light and cold shadows, it's not how light actually works, but it's fun. :)
@@VinceVenturella col I didn't realize that before,tanks Mr V!
i a question and that what if a person does not own an airbrush can that person use a brush for this ?
Absolutely, anything I did with the airbrush, you could just replace with brush glazes.
Ok, If you were going to do this but in a nice regal purple, what paints would you use?
Something like Elendil Violet from Scale 75, regular violet and Ice yellow. Then glaze it with Purple Lake from Daler Rowney.
@@VinceVenturella thanks, I'm gonna try that out in mine rotation of trying to find the right color for this army
Wow, it looks totally different in the picture at the end when the black stuff is removed...I guess the "context" matters a lot.
Yeah, it's a funny lesson on context and how the colors can inform each other. Accidental good example of that. :)
Does anyone know what would be a good substitute for the golden crimson paint at all as its hard to get around me. Many thanks
The Scale 75 paint is a good substitute, you can do it on its own. The other option is any magenta plus a little black or dark blue.
@@VinceVenturella thank you as always Vince. I was looking at murder scene speed paint as a substitute but was worried it might be to saturated
What size is the needle on your airbrush for this video?
Generally either .15 or .2
@@VinceVenturella Thank you, sir!!
What do you mean when it breaks the rule of cold shadow and cold highlight?
So in general, you want opposing shadows/highlights. So warm highlights should have cold shadows and vice versa. This breaks the rule, but it's fine to break the rules sometimes. :)
@@VinceVenturella thanks, by cold do you mean blue and green, and warm is red and yellow?
Goopy Goop
All the goop
What is the black stuff you have on the model to cover up the other parts?
So it's AK Camo putty. TO be honest thought, it's basically Silly putty. That is always my go to masking item.
@@VinceVenturella cool Ill see if I can find some here in dk
i have golden liquid paint -dioxazine purple can this also be used for a brush as well?
I have a whole set of Golden fluid acrylics I use for mini painting with a brush. They just need to be thinned a tiny smidge, in my experience.
Oh, also, thicker layers dry quite glossy, so be prepared with some matte varnish, if the rest of the paint you are using is matte mini paints.
I agree with Steven completely.
Witch one of the Scalecolor artists acrylics range is the closest to the golden crimson?
I don't know that any are a complete match, but Crimson Carmesi (SART -10) is the closest.
@@VinceVenturella thank's man, i have the full range of artists acrylics from Scalecolor. Have some of the AK interactiv 3gen acrylics and they are real nice to
Don't really need the tunes
how did you do the purple on the mount??
A medium purple base and then lots of slight, thin lines of texture of lighter purple colors.
@@VinceVenturella which paints?
It is not pink! It is lightish red!
Looks more pink than Crimson to me.
Fair enough, I think the final product has the color I was going for, but the line between crimson and pink is fairly thin. :)
What are you using for a mask
AK Interactive Camo Putty
@@VinceVenturella thanks m8
Why did you decide to add background music to some of your videos? They don't need it, and it's pretty off-putting. Sorry Vince :(
It's been received quite positively over all, but some people seem to hear it louder than others. I have it at 2% in the mixer, and barely audible, but for some it comes through louder, I need to figure out what's happening there.
