How to Paint a Dark Elf Cauldron of Blood

[FunkVJ]

Got an off-topic question :D Whats the name of the song you used for the "dance party" ? its awesome lol

Really nice home made Cauldron btw and cool painting. Im going to make an Anvil of doom from scratch, in the near future.

@FunkVJ You can find it on YouTube. It's from a series of foreign firework safety commercials. Finland I think.

I paint more historical stuff than fantasy( though I do paint my the occsional fantasy piece), but find your vidoes (and not just the ones promoting SCAHMS) fun and informative and this one was no exception.

[TheAurgelmir]

Wow I want one

[CaptCamping]

I see must people are using the Model Color and not the Game Colors in these videos

[ThePaintingClinic]

@CaptCamping I have no preference to one or the other. I use both equally.

[WGScrapyard]

I love watching your processes. Do you play 40k as well? or just fantasy.

[ThePaintingClinic]

@WGScrapyard I have Eldar, but haven't played since 3rd edition first came out.

[WGScrapyard]

@ThePaintingClinic I have eldar as well. trust me... this edition hasn't been the most kind to them lol. So you're not missing much :p

[Hepathos]

I think one think you can try, to paint really tiny, one brush hair point wide blood splatters on the dryad, like she's strugling in the blood and it splatters on her.

The Army Painter tuft grasses are just rebadged MiniNatur tufts, but nonetheless they are so awesome, I use them on everything I base.

[TheSeasonman1]

Great work as always from you . Great base finishes it off nicely . Thank you

[Jedijim252]

Wow, that turned out awesome...would really pose a problem for any adventuring party...do you rush in to shave from the tentacles or just shoot her from a distance to be safe :D...Jim

excellent video, interesting watching you change your mind on various things. my only suggestion is that the blood is in my opinion too red. blood in that volume would be a deep crimson brown in my mind rather then a bright red, but that is just my take. very very nice piece

[ThePaintingClinic]

@cyphertheory Yeah the blood is not realistic, but I wasn't going for realism. Sometimes you have to decide to paint either what looks good or was is real. Plus by not paint realistic I can use the old painters excuse: It's magic! :)

[Generalsplatton]

WOW, that is a nice piece of work sir!

[Arbornoctua]

Beautiful build extremely nice looking!

[Soulcaresser2]

Wonderful conversion and excellent paint job!

[w0mblemania]

Excellent work! Really enjoying these vids.

Excellent dance music too! :-)

[bazZy33K]

thanks dude! Love to peak into some else's kitchen, so to speak. =P

BTW what is that stuff you use to top the blood of at the end? Future floor wax or something? What does it do? I mean does it dry and get a hard and transparent finish? Odd thing for just a floor wax (?)

[ThePaintingClinic]

@bazZy33K Future Floor Finish, or Pledge with Future shine. It's an acrylic floor polish that is very glossy and has many uses in modeling and painting.

[deende79]

Very nice looking model and great paintjob. I would like to see whole DE army painted on that standar

[ModelloursWorkshop]

excellent! wonderful work :) but watch the nudity on YouTube ;)))

[greenskin3000]

I really enjoy your work, very inspiring! And very good production on your videos too. Looking forward to see more. Thanks!

Step 1: Find old paint recipe

Step 2: Decide to use old recipe

Step 3: ???????

Step 4: End up with Bronze patina!

Really like the end result even if it is a bit of a weird recipe!

[ThePaintingClinic]

@prophet89 I just updated the notes with an alternate recipe that might be easier to follow.
