 Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today. This is going to be an exciting one because today We're gonna talk about new paints specifically my new paints like like they have my name on them You'll see the strict techno man sir. That is Vincy V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vincy V style So recently Ninjon and myself got to work with Jason over at Monument Hobbies on a new set of paints Each of us had the task to create six paints that we thought Were interesting colors to add to the overall pro-acril range So we took that away. We worked with Jason over several months testing and refining these paints And I'm happy to say that both these new paint lines that here both John's and myself I'm really excited with what we've developed and what we've been able to bring out Thanks to Monument. So thank you to Jason. I just want to say that right up front and everyone at Monument Hobbies It was awesome working with them. It's an awesome company You know, you'll see me use their paints a lot in videos So a chance to actually design my own paints and colors and get those on the table was really exciting What we're gonna do today is we're gonna see these paints in action Now each of these paints has six different colors in the range So let's head over to the desk and we'll take a look at what we've got and how we use them All right, let's start by just looking at the colors Obviously the white blue isn't gonna show up too well on white paper But I thought I would just give you a straight up easy reference of what these colors look like what all they are This is all 12 sets the first six are my colors the second six are in John's set and just kind of spread them out here On a white piece of paper very clean very clear So you can just kind of see them in their true form and how bright they look over white Now as with all Proacryl paints, these are pretty matte when applied and they Are usually have a pretty decent opacity the the exception of course is something like the dark magenta Since that is made with the high quality magenta pigment, which is what we pushed for Then you know, that is just a more naturally transparent pigment And we didn't really want any other thickeners or stuff like that in there. We wanted it to be a true magenta experience with that pigment Next up we'll go ahead and put them all out on the wet palette Now just a quick note about Proacryl paints on the wet palette I use them all the time on my wet palette. They work perfectly fine but They are extremely hydrophilic paints and so, you know, if you let them sit overnight or something They will tend to over absorb water and kind of not be very useful Especially if you have a very humid environment So most time your wet palette isn't really for leaving paints overnight or for multiple days It's to use a whole day of painting but just a note about that that that will happen But they work great with your wet palette as you're working over the course the day They'll stay very usable and retain all their great properties Now for this video, we're gonna see these paints in action and I thought what better figure than Horace Ascended, which is a fun new figure You're gonna see more about him in the weeks to come But we're gonna start with just some black armor here now I'm working over pure black because he's mostly in black armor And I'm gonna work up and add some color to this black armor And so the actual colors I'm using are up on the top But you can see that, you know, I'm gonna have much less of an effect with these deeper darker colors One of the things I was most excited to get in this set was a good Payne's gray There aren't that many great Payne's gray paints out there in the hobby range There are some things that are close But both the dark jade and the Payne's gray for me were two essential colors because Payne's gray is just such an important part of almost every one of my workflows being a blue black Natural environmental shadow. It's just almost the perfect universal shadow color And I use it almost all the time on so many miniatures So to have one now in a hobby paint that I really love mixed how you know I like it mixed is really really wonderful And you can see how much that suddenly kicks when we add up that that white blue into the dark jade and get such a more High opacity to that The white blue was another color for me that was just really essential in the line It's that cold highlight color So this is something that if you're trying to go for a Final highlight that's that's a little more pushed in the cold spectrum. This is it You might wonder do these colors airbrush? Well, the answer is yes, they do So here after I had created all my sort of edge highlights where the the armor is reflecting I wanted to knock it back just a little I sort of over highlighted to get my my colors and lights in place and then I'm gonna come back in with my With some thin down paints great So this is very thin. This is pushed about 10 drops of thinner to one drop of paint and we're just gonna slowly With my harder and sign back infinity Just go ahead and work these Down and smooth out the shadows one of the keys to black armor is you especially something like this You really want it to pop and have these reflection points of visual interest But you want at least 50% of the surface to still be basically a true black But mixing a little bit of that blue on there will just make the color more interesting Now that was more of a glaze But of course we can use it for traditional layer application through the airbrush as well Here using that dark plum that's in John set Wonderful base color for skin for purples for reds for a lot of different things when you're trying to add some real warmth to it And then we're gonna put down a little base coat on the fur just kind of get that toned up now None of the fur will actually be brown, but I wanted a warm undertone to the firm. So we're just really hitting it with some heavy Basically some heavy overbrushing of this warm brown Just to get a tone in place that'll let me work the other layers up over top of it My goal here is really to just show you all of the colors in action how they dry how they cover stuff like that More than how to paint Horace But my next goal is then start it to integrate the red gray I really love red gray and John's Color set. This was one of the ones that I wanted to see in the range too. So I was happy to see it included I think red gray is this sort of warm gray tone is something missing from many paint ranges But it's just a very very useful paint Because you want that that warm color infused gray tone never used just regular white plus black mid-tone grays If you can avoid it for most purposes A mid-tone gray with a color infused into it a green a red a brown something like that It's just gonna be much more visually interesting And so now I'm just working up the fur through patches If you're curious about fur painting in more detail and why I'm painting it like I am instead of traditional sort of dry brushing This is to get a more realistic fur effect to make it look patchy because it's a dead animal Sitting on his back. It's not a live thing I have a video about how to paint for where I explain this technique in detail of the the patchwork method of fur painting But now we've worked our way all the way up into dark ivory Yet another color that this again this is from John said we're really kind of exploring his set on the dead animal sitting on the back of forest here because The dark ivory is a really nice final highlight color for a lot of purposes if you're When going to pure white is often sort of incorrect It's just too bright for most surfaces things like cloth and furs and sort of natural matte organic substances Really don't go all the way to true white. So something like a dark ivory will seem very bright and very near white When it's applied, but of course it's a much softer tone We're gonna go ahead and then Just glaze in some shadows over the top of that The all the layers we put up there just to create the natural environmental shadows in the same tones we did with the armor itself So that's just this very thin airbrush glaze of paint gray yet again here one more time worth we're thinned down like 10 to 1 Royal purple. This is one of the colors in my set. I am most excited about This is some wake up and slap you in the face purple Royal purple is something I really really really push to have this color in my set and to have it be as true and strong as it is I wanted a regal You know just unbelievably bright purple here. I work it up over the plum So it's not as bright as it can be But you'll see kind of how it looks at the end when I when I start to integrate some other colors But this purple especially when you integrate in or put it over a bright white color It's really gonna give you just an unbelievably intense purple Perfect for sort of you know that those royal colored robes and stuff like that. So Couldn't recommend it enough The dark yellow green and especially when mixed with normal flesh tones is wonderful for rotting or dead flesh fortunately Horace has He has like faces and skulls taped all over him. I'm not sure how we think he's the good guy You know, you probably shouldn't have that many dead people's heads hanging from your belt if you're the good guy I mean, I understand he's not the good guy. He's definitely a bad guy, but he sees himself as the good guy, I suppose Although you know when you're working for a group called the ruins powers and then you staple dead people to your belt I've start to question that We're back to the dark plum here Just because I wanted to show it as an undercoat for flesh as well It just works really well as a first layer for flesh Setting a nice warm base tone for Caucasian flesh or or African-American flesh or anything like that Really being those deepest deepest shadows Then I just start working up the flesh tones here. We have pure beige red and this to me again is one of my sort of favorite Colors that you can get that wasn't previously available in pro curls range, but I really like it. It creates a nice soft You know sort of pinkish undertone for your skin and then when you lay something like the warm flesh into it from John set You really just get such a wonderful naturalistic flesh tone Because you have this combination of the warm yellows of the upper tone along with it than being under toned by this sort of pinky red So it really just creates a really great sequencing for sort of traditional Caucasian flesh And you can see I'm just working the the skin up here And then the final thing we're gonna do here is integrate in some of that white ivory or sorry dark ivory I apologize into the warm flesh to get our final highlights So all in all you can see that's pretty much running through the set The only all of the colors the only I didn't really have a chance to show in action was the dark yellow green But I really do love it, especially if you'd like military camo stuff like that Here we'll show the dark magenta. I'm using that to tone his skin his cheeks around his eyes And then what will eventually be the red glow on that side of his face from in his power armor The dark magenta is really wonderfully transparent for these kind of glazes and these sorts of purposes of adding that red tone to skin Or just doing a really intense bright saturated magenta. So that's the paint range I I hope you enjoyed this little run-through on it with Horace You'll see some more of him in some coming videos, but this was a lot of fun There you go. I hope this gave you a good overview of how the paints work now You might have noticed throughout this video. I was painting one Horace ascended a pretty awesome model However, he's not done yet Surprisingly, he's a rather complicated and big figure, but if you come back next week We're gonna continue painting him and I'm gonna show you a little more detail We're gonna talk about more of Horace and how to get him on the table But as always, thank you so much for watching this give it a like if you liked it subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future You can find the link to the new paints down below So please check those out Really excited to be bringing these out.
