How to paint miniatures: Assault on black reach: Ork Warboss Part 1

[UnityCZ]

I have a question. When you do the glazing of Dark Flesh over the yellow, do you have to move the brush more toward the area llittle more each time to place where the shadows are strongest? Let's say I have a sword and I want to do glazing. After I make the first glaze do I have to reduce the area like one mm less and over and over again untill I'm brushing on the final glaze at the very bottom of the sword? I hope I described it well, I tried this but it didn't work like i wanted

[ObsidianPainting]

@UnityCZ hey, not really. With using diluted paint, the pigment will end up where you end your brush stroke, therefore you don't really have to decrease your area of starting. As the layers build up more though, you will naturally switch to a smaller area to focus the blending:)

I love how you do the ork skin.good job!

[CountVonJokovich]

you can make him look 'like a bows'.

[CountVonJokovich]

@CountVonJokovich does no-one get that lonely siland related joke?

[kinglichmo1]

When are you going to do the terminators?

[ObsidianPainting]

@kinglichmo1 i stated in the space marine tutorial, you can paint them the exact same way, and there was no point in making another tutorial, to show the exact same thing.

[CountVonJokovich]

yes man! pt2 pt2 pt2 pt2 pt2 pt2 pt2 pt2 :-) loving your vids and tutorials, but yours and MACs intros kill my computer. join the Save the Computer from OP's and MAC's intro Foundation. (lol).

@CountVonJokovich note: loving your voiceover :-)

I play rings and fantasy and I must admit I'm a great painter, but never thinned my paints down! You've taught me so much, thanks man

[christianvcastillo]

i don't have the wash paint.. can i use the same black acrylic paint and have a similar result? i'm not gona paint a lot of figures so buying a few paint would help on the budget

[ObsidianPainting]

@christianvcastillo that is ok! just water down some black paint and put that into the crevices. Will not give the EXACT same look, but will do the job :)

Cheers!

[christianvcastillo]

@ObsidianPainting oh neat.. so.. do i apply it the same way as a normal wash or to the crevices only?

[locorules]

@christianvcastillo you can use water and a drop of dish soap to break down the surface tension.

@ObsidianPainting There's a technique that my friend uses to highlight the shadows eariler. Basically he gets a thick coat of a colour and wipes it on kitchen roll untill there is no physical trail left by it. Then because theres still paint trapped within the brissels he skims over the model several times and it comes out looking fantastic.

[ObsidianPainting]

@horrorandclassics yes! i use this technique all the time, in fact, taht is the technique used in this video. except i thin it down. :) cheers!

[eloOskar]

Love your videos! Can't wait for part 2!

[redlamp]

I haven't seen a wet pallet before, I'm going to have to try that out this weekend!

[ta4ai]

In total, how long does it take you to paint the model like this?

[ObsidianPainting]

@ta4ai however,, long it takes? it varies immensley based on how long you want to spend blending.

[ta4ai]

@ObsidianPainting I mean how long did the painting in this video take you? :)

[ObsidianPainting]

@ta4ai probably anywhere from 4-10 hours. depends on how fast you work and how comfortable you are with your skill level.

Thanks for the AoBR painting tutorial update, I'm going to paint my AoBR warboss just the same :)

[ARabidFlea13]

man you make the orks look good im going to do this with my orks.

[wakcedout]

This is why I love this gaming community. People don't hide the knowledge they have about how to paint and share it with others. I've played games where people who get good at it they keep their secrets to success and that's just no fun.

[Generalsplatton]

Very good tutorial buddy and the model is looking great.

[feltisgirl]

absolutely awesome! I am only part way through my ork boss, definately going to do this with him :)

[edstar83]

If this is what your dvds are like then I approve! I like your style.

[ObsidianPainting]

@edstar83 dvd's are def better than this video lol

[Ydouneed2nomyname]

P.S-sorry for multiple, unneccessary comments, but its not first 5 pple for the 5 full dvds, but just any random 5 you get within the preorder time right?

[ObsidianPainting]

@Ydouneed2nomyname yup

[XenoMetroid]

awesome tut! really like your technique.

[Reon5385]

Do you have to wait for each layer to dry when you are using that highlight technique? if so, how much time does it take to dry each layer?

[ObsidianPainting]

@Reon5385 if your paint is thin enough, by the end of the brush stroke

[Reon5385]

@ObsidianPainting thank you for the answer and the awesome tutorials!

[Carnuss]
