Watching Emil paint is an absolute joy. There's something about how he colours his minis that just looks incredible! So lucky I found this channel!!!! Like his eye for colour is a blessing to our eyes.

Thx Maisie

You know the Bob Ross moment when he starts adding to a picture you would consider perfect and in your head you're screaming "stop it, don't go too far, you'll ruin it!" And he keeps adding layer upon layer and first you're like "see? I told you" and then there's a tipping point and everything turns out amazing? I had this several times with the armored legs of the vampire in this video. The final piece looks stunning but my impression is more that of glass not steel. Anyway thanks for another great video.

Dude, I think this is a part of the creative process in general! I mostly make terrain, and there is always a moment when you think “I fucked up greatly”. But if you just pull through and keep going it will turn out awesome.

@@jagelsdorf1385 you're absolutely right every mini I paint looks terrible for the bigger part of the process but somehow they turn out to become, let's say, decent. But the feeling is always amplified when I watch someone else do it^^

"Vampires" So miniac's gonna be hopping onto this as fast as he can as well then

I actually liked the 1st draft of armor paint.

Thanks so much for this. Being able to look at your own work and see how to improve it is a valuable skill, and I really appreciate your insight and the thought process behind it.

Freaking great video, this is what I always want to see! It's nice knowing how to do a certain effect, but it's even better when you grasp how and why the effect is used. Being inside an artists head like this as they go through it all is wonderful. Thanks

This helped me so much, thank you! 😁

Fantastic paintjob! I really enjoyed the walkthrough of your thought process and how you took some drastic decision on the metal highlights at the end. It’s always pleasure to watch you videos. Thanks from Belgium.

Yet another excellent paint job and it’s great to hear your thought process. Interesting to hear you taking time out to rethink what you’re doing

Thanks for sharing Emil. Have really enjoyed rediscovering this hobby I enjoyed so much as a kid since watching your videos over the past couple of months. Keep up the good work! Thank you from Australia

SUCH a useful video. Going to come back to this one frequently, I can tell already.

I always thumbs up your vids before even watching them. Always amazing.

Fantastic and inspiring as always!

Squidmar, you were a huge inspiration for me to start painting. I’m still a beginner, but I really enjoy it. I finally feel productive, and I really thank you for that.

Åter, Emil, tack så mycket. The variety of your lessons and examples keeps me watching, and keeps me excited about painting minis. In this episode, the Titan Forge vampire minis are just *the bomb* (as young people might say) - alas, without a 3D printer, their Patreon site isn't going to get me too far. Emil, thanks again!

Fantastic video. One of the best I’ve seen. Subscribed 👍🏻🤩

Well done sir!

Happy 1st Birthday to your channel!!!!

On you next video like this, could you show a picture of each 'step' and how it improved the mini? Like when you add the highlights a side by side of before and after highlights? Or even a clip at the end of the video showing a side by side of all the steps? 😁 Love you videos! They inspired me to start painting minis

Don't be. It is a hobby. If you are not in the top 10% of talent that is totally fine. Even if you are far from that. As long as it brings you joy, that's fine. Try at least 1 new thing with every new project: if you fail, you can learn what went wrong. If you succeed, well... you took the first step to become better. ;) When I feel like things are going wrong, I take out my first minis I painted 5 months ago and comare them with how I paint now, realizing that I might not be a squidmar, but I already make past me feel depressed about today me (knowing that future me should be much better even). That's some inception level painting wisdom for free! You have a good day! Hope you feel better about what you create. Always remember: While you create something yourself, 10 other people sit bored on the couch, complaining that there is nothing new on Netflix!

Great vid 👍

Great work! I especially like the cloak, will try to take close look and figure out why I like it :D

Nice and painterly NMM! 😁

Planning stage. Look at figure and set aside for a month or so. Come back and look at figure - decide on best undercoat to speed things up. Begin undercoating - run out half way through - go buy undercoat and undercoat. Leave to dry then set aside for a month or so. Begin painting process - big brush and block in trousers and coat. Be board and set aside for a month or so. And so on and so forth. That's the Me Here technique.

Wow, that mini screams "Drukhari Archon". Love it! Great video bud!

Miniac will be short stroking himself all weekend now. He loves vampires. Great vid. Liked stepping in the Squidmind

well hell.. I love what you do.. but there is NO way that I could ever do it.. I just slap some paint on and call it a day. I'm just happy that there is some colors on the mini. But you... you make a masterpiece! True art form.

Sooooo cooollll

Nice Video Emil and greetings from Germany

Great video! I really enjoyed the part where you mentioned taking a break. So important to walk away for a few hours or a day to come back with fresh eyes. You're going to force me to get a 3d printer now...

Don't know if its just me but this mini is what I think of when I imagine Cinder, from Rothfuss' King Killer Chronicle.

Love it Emil, really great paint job, I need a better lamp, my single low wattage light bulb just isn't helping

I appreciate all of your content so thank you! I am new to painting minis and am running into a plastic vs metal question. Can you use acrylic paint on metal minis as well or do metal minis require a different paint?

Hjälpte enormt! Assnyggt jobb :)

Great video. What would you recommend for re-painting horrible mini faces? I have a bunch of mage knights that need touch up in the face

can washes give good hilights? I've always been satisfied with just painting and let the lights in the room cast shadows.

Check out the awesome Titan Forge and their monthly subscription of 3D printable miniatures: www.patreon.com/titanforgeminis/

I also take breaks, weeks on end sometimes on minis lol. "I'm looking at your mawloc >.>"

Hey I was wondering what the tip on your airbrush does. I'm new to airbrushing and I'm still learning.

Hi Emil, Nice video! When are your kickstarter ready?😁🙏

The skin and the metal look amazing, but I don't like the cloak. The interesting thing is that most of the cloaks that I paint look like this cloak....and I feel I need to improve painting cloaks. Somehow it feels that it has 2 colours instead of one colour with highlights. Sorry for the critique Emil, I hope it is constructive. Keep on painting!

How you finding the nocturna paints very tempted to pick up that flesh set and the red set

they are a lot thinner than regular gw and vallejo. I think they are ok, but you have similar tones with vallejo and citadel. :)

when are those squidmar brushes coming out

These minis are awesome I always forget that there are other companies out there than just GW haha

My favorite quote ever....."I Google'd the internet"

Hey squid I can't help but notice you don't have your desk in your gear list. I'm starting to get into miniature painting and would like nothing more than to have a desk as awesome as yours.

My challenge is knowing which colors to choose or blend to get the different tones for shading and highlighting. Should I use a color wheel or howmdo you know what colors will be good without looking artificial?

What size brush are you using ?

Sadly, I don’t have a 3D printer so I can’t print any of these models myself but if I did then my Backlog would evolve and grow legs, and then runaway.😬😬😬👍👍👍👌👌👌

The beautiful thing about printing your own models is that you don't have to print the minis until you're ready to paint them, so the majority of the backlog is just a folder of STL files. You don't have to worry about the mini going out of print, or the company changing the design of the figure/unit, so there's less incentive to print the model "Just in case".

Have you done a video about 3d printers, I'm being lazy and not searching your videos. Plus you have the best jumpers!

So how do you get some of those cool minis if you don't have a way to print them? Are they for sale anywhere??

Hi...I've only the Anycubic I3 Mega (as You as well) but I imagine that all of your miniatures are realized with the resin printer. Any succesful realization with Anycubic? Despite my numerous try, I can't even have a decent miniature... With the best quality ( 0.1 ) and the best settings I've found on web for my printer/filament the outcome requires too much sanding and it's not easy at all as you can imagine... Clap for your channel and your awesom work.... Greetings from Italy

Do you use glazes?

Hm... Can you recommend any specific 3D printer for printing own minis?

Excuse me, I wanted to ask you if those printable miniatures are limited and can be printed only for this month or are available in other months

What kind of 3D printer did you use?

@@SquidmarMiniatures in the video, the Hesus miniature is mirrored. He holds the cup in his right hand (on the left as you look at it). That's how he is in all the tender art on the TF website, and how it came off my printer. In your video it's on the other side. So I figured either the miniature, or possibly the video, is flipped. Just wondered which it was.
