Thanks Thanasis! I'm glad the music seems to have had its intended effect :)

as an intermediate painter, I took special notice of the following: the medium that was used in the flesh-tones to slow the drying for wet-blending transitions, how the bases were handled (these are very detailed bases and it is good to see such a no-nonsense approach), how the eyes were handled. ... think I will get out my KDM figures right now!

@@Sorastro on the same note, I often found my paints to dry out before smoothly applying the paint to the skin. I'm struggling with making the skin smooth (possibly because of the Reaper HD paint. Known to dry out quick and goes chalky). Do you think the glazing medium would help reduce the drying time?

@Sorastro

5 жыл бұрын

@@zano_korellio Hi Zano! Yes - Vallejo's glaze medium has some retarder in so it does nicely slow the drying time. (Or you could just try adding some pure retarder..) :)

@@Sorastro Okay! That might be a good one to buy next time I passed Hobby Lobby or something. 40% is no joke awesome. The medium might help the paint to stop drying too soon on the brush, leaving some chalky texture on my minis (I noticed this particularly using MSP HD "stark naked" skin color)

These beautiful sculpture jobs deserve a very good painting, and IMHO you have done them justice. And, as usual, a great(and a little unsettling) music. I'm wishing to see your next tutorial.

Coming from a true newb who has yet to really start painting (but has watched a ton of your videos and just got his rosemary brushes) this one feels like a real step up in difficulty with the light source involved. Black Plague, Decent and Imp Assault all felt like tutorials for beginners, where this feels more for the intermediate.
