Pale Sand is feeling sad that you said that pro acryl mahogany is now your favourite colour.

First it was the Army Painter custom mix they gave Dana and now Pro Acryl Mahogany, next Dana will be flirting with AK Ice Yellow! Poor Pale Sand…

i really appreciate you mentioning brush on primer. its a great option for people with limited access to places to spray prime and i feel like people never talk about it

Apologies if I seem kinda groggy in this video I had to film it while I was sick >_

That sounds a lot like what a person trying to mask her elongation of the word "Squarespace" would say. Gotcha.

Not gonna lie, I was very skeptical at first when you said you wouldn't use an airbrush or even a spray can, but at the end, I'm convinced that this style of painting yields an incredible end result, especially considering the relatively small time investment. Well done, I love it and learned several cool new tricks!

I was surprised! I prefer classic four color comic characters, but this was a fantastic treatment in the grim dark style! Well done!

dang. crossbones muscles do look awesome! awesome Job Dana!

Not normally my style, but the final look is great! Cool project

I love these challenge videos! Also, i'm happy your branching out and painting up models outside warhammer!

This is a perfect thing to watch on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks!

👍👍 now that is a good looking set! I can't even remember the last time I finished a mini inside of a week, let alone a whole boardgame 👍😅!

I enjoy your painting and comments. Additionally, I love to hear you say "Square Space".

thats how its pronounced!!!

I've got a few (like.. 5) Pro Acryl paints and I love them, the consistency and opacity works for how I paint (average at best). Glad you enjoyed them, I need to think about picking up their starter set, great vid as always and I really like that grim darkish style.

Tom Sachs!! Why am i so happy you know his work? I just ordered some of his zines and a pack of boombox playing cards 2 days ago. If i was a fancy rich boy i’d get a quarter with screw bit soldered on because, it’s ART, dad.

I'm so intimidated by the Crisis Protocol sculpts, it's nice to see you take them on.

they aren't as bad as you might think, the nice thing is the larger scale needs less highlights/shadows to look natural, a really basic paint job can look good on these figs!

A much more sensible 24hr challenge! Well done.

I recently experimented with a similar blotchy/sketchy colour painting technique on TTCombat's Carnevale Plague Doctoress model. When you look at the mini close up it seems messy but from a distance it gives an impressionistic style, the main advantage I found with this is that you do not need to overly focus on where the highlights and shadows fall, although this obviously works better when using a dark colour pallet (in my case it was a grey overcoat and trousers with a white shirt and leather straps). I have been a little unsure about the validity of the technique but seeing someone else painting in this style gives me the confidence to experiment further. Thank you.

Just chilling & loving the vibe of this video. The grimdark style worked really nicely with these minis. Grand 👏

That's the same badger primer I use. It works well with a brush. 2 coats if you want a solid layer. It doesn't clog detail all that much (even on historical models with shallow panel lines). It is also nice if you rattle can black primer. Do a quick layer with this and it covers up the spots the spray inevitably missed.

good tip thank you!

I love the expression that is your painting style. It's very unique and stylized. I find myself watching your space sharks video a lot but I think this one will become my new favorite, specifically the Traffic light segment. Thank you for all you do.

Neat spin on the superhero thing, like the minis. Also, not for nothing, that was a top tier ad segue.

Great video and educational as always. Since you brought up your website I wanted to say I have used it several times (it is favourited) and it has been indispensable on my projects. Thanks very much.

Honestly Dana I've watched this video twice in a few hours. This genuinely entertained me. My hobby time recently has been very and I mean very reduced. So doing my miniature painting in this style may save me alot of time and effort. I can see the grim dark style really working and leaning towards certain aspects of games. Thank you.

Those looked gorgeous at the end.

Super impressive! What a sprint through that box!

That you managed all this in that time frame is incredible. It's not to my personal style, but the terrain and "bad guys" look amazing.

Oof, my hat off to you, I did 24 hours over a 3 day weekend and I didn't realize how much of a SLOG it is to sit and paint for more than 8 hours straight, let alone 24!

This is such a good video. Great colour scheme, great idea of grim dark on super hero’s, great painting techniques, the models look great and this has really got me in the mood to paint. Great video. I really like it.

Yey a new video! Always a good day when you post.

Awesome. Love these more in depth videos. Always fascinating seeing your workflow, thought process and watching things come together

i like howl you say square space at the start

This turned out great. I think Iron Man is my favorite. I was really surprised by how much I liked what the jade glaze added. I really want to get that ultron mini now.

Always great to see MCP content here.

resist the urge to add edge highlights, grimdark generally goes off of having low saturation and doesn't tend to work well as more of a cleaner style.

So great to see some non-spray priming experiments! as a pro acryl convert I popped at the base set box

Amazing work!!

I love how you say.....Squaaaareeee space!

I've been getting used to the pro acryl paints too and I love them but man I am being forced to really learn more about paint consistency and things like you highlighted here - getting a lot of the moisture from the brush off on a paper towel.

I enjoyed this so much! Thank you

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

The dark brown wash is maybe a bit much on some colours, like the green and explosions, but the rust and the highlights came out really nice! I'd also recommend ProAcryl's Transparent paints if you get the chance - they're like a glaze straight out of the bottle, even with a brush. I don't know how, but ProAcryl just seem to have the midas touch when it comes to quality paint!

I have been using either Mig One Shot or AK black primers by brush for a year, and no problems so far... For me it's faster to take 10/15 minutes to prime than to get out the whole airbrush stuff (especially when the weather is too hot outside to airbrush...)

Nice vid!

Awesome style! Much prefer gritty over pristine but then I am more into DC ...

This is so cool! If i were ever bold enough to attempt this effect, id be interested whether chipping medium could be used on the leather and logos to further that incredible effect?

@DanaHowl

I've been using Vallejo airbrush primer as a brush on one. i have had some problems with it rubbing off though, might depend on the paint though

Dana, the lack of protection on your work surface is stressing me out 😅Otherwise, great video!

I wonder what Star Wars miniatures could look like in a Grimdark style?

Love Monument hobbies

[PALE SAND WEEPS IN THE CORNER AFTER BEING SUPPLANTED BY THE NEW GUY]

It's funny that the skid steer is bigger than a car, usually it's not that big

Pretty cool results. To me they read more "movie Marvel" rather than 40K grimdark, but good job in any case. I prefer clean comics-style look for superheroes, but these techniques look very useful for everything else!

I use pro acryl (with contrast/speed paint) on all of my models. But don't have any mahogany. Guess I will add that to my next order. 👍

I'm generally a warhammer person, but I'm looking at something a bit different to paint & play. The only problem I've got is Marvel Crisis or Star Wars shatterpoint big fan of both IPs. I really enjoyed watching you paint both games minatures but any tips on my decision would help 😂❤.
