Painting with Demons Part 1/6: Base Coat

Painting with Demons: Base Coat

- Applying the Base Coat -

Here is the first video in a six part series painting a Privateer Press Sniper model using my favorite paints, Privateer Press paints.

In this video I place my base coat using Privateer Press Traitor Green.

I won Games Workshop: Golden Demon Award in 94' with my Striking Scorpion Karandras model. Since then, I went to school for art and have been working in the videogame industry for 10 years. I'm sharing my painting techniques with fellow painters just as they shared their painting techniques with me over 15 years ago.

Where did you go to school and for what? Awesome work.

[rallyRays]

I went to school at William Paterson University in New Jersey. My degree was actually in computer art and animation... but I love painting mini's!

[rallyRays]

I was looking over my shoulder at the computer and making sure I was in frame.... and I had a large coffee before the shoot. lol

[RomanCenturianSPQR]

i couldn't realy see what you were doing on the model, could you trie having the camera looking over your shoulder at the model?

[tilloupeter]

You were scarily close to decorating the camera at 0:56 to 0:58

Anyone here know what is the difference between tamiya flat black and black?

[wubs23]

@codyrum white for colours, black for metals. so it depends on the model. whatever it has most, go with that basecoat. just do the whole model with a spray.

BTW guys do u HAVE to prime urmodels or can they be painted without

I hope you're still working on more vids. I just discovered these and they're great! By the way, I'm new at the hobby. The humidity is fairly high here (TN). I wonder how high is TOO high humidity? 60%? 85%?  I have definitely experienced the "fuzzy" mini, but I don't want to wait for winter before I can get more minis ready to paint? Any advice?

@jeremieclub for the record, its a hobby, im sure what ever you do is easily watered down childish. People spend there time different ways

[FlamebaitV2]

usually the main colour of your soldier will be the base coat, afterwards you can just drybrush the surface details on to make it look more realistic

[metalica2020]

[jeremieclub]

[codyrum]
