Howdy Folks! Hope you guys enjoy this one! Due to the shipping of Villainy Ink Enamels I will be absolutely covered up in work for the next little bit so this may be the last video I personally post for a little while. Don't worry though Dark Ages Workshop will be the man to bring you the Grimdark goodness until I return! I appreciate you all! Catch ya in the next!

Awesome video. Lots of inspiring stuff to look into trying. Thanks! And congrats on the partnering

Thanks for another informative video. I agree about DD Rust, yet it's biggest downside is that it's very difficult to varnish because it's water soluble, but that can also be used to effect. If anyone has any tips on how to varnish it though please do tell. There's several products out there that are great for grimdark painting yet refuse to be varnished or reactivate with water, like DD Rust being one or Windsor and Newton drawing inks, haha Cheers

Is the extremely dark lighting deliberate? It hides too much of the painting and makes it difficult to appreciate the work properly. While it may be intended for photography of the completed product, segments showing the painting process should be filmed in brighter light.
