Honestly, you have some of the best miniatures and tutorials. I haven't been in the hobby for very long, but I have made a couple of friends who have been painting minis for more than twenty years, and every time you release a video we are all equally excited. They've seen so many 'standard' paint jobs that even an exceptionally well done 'vanilla' miniature just rings kind of lacklustre. Not only are your miniatures well painted, they're also unique and creative beyond, "well, I thought I'd make this orc lime green instead of dark green." It's refreshing and a true inspiration, for beginners and the grognard-iest of old trolls alike. Thank you.

You know, the really cool thing about this method is that the tombstones and ground nearby being painted these odd colors make it look like the nighthaunts are glowing and bleeding light onto the other objects. The highlights of the ectoplasm parts really makes it all look very good. This is why I love your videos :)

I come back to this video often through the years. Massively valuable instructions and such a fantastic paintjob. To my knowledge, you were doing epic painting stuff like this in a time when it wasn't as common at all, if at all.

I like that she goes further beyond the basics than other KZfaqrs. Also that she's hilarious so you're naturally inclined to watch more than once, which lets you better absorb the knowledge.

Completely agree. This is only the third video I've seen of hers. I've been a miniature painter for close to 30 years now, and I'm still learning things. I love the professionalism Dana brings to KZfaq. Keep up the excellent videos, Dana!

Most thought out and explained tutorials I've found, hands down. Most people spend 90% of theirs talking, yet not really saying or showing anything. I actually ordered my first airbrush after watching your videos, as I got a load of free night haunt, and this seems like the perfect way to practice gradients.

These three videos in this series should be required watching for any serious mini painters. Wellll, maybe not required because that's a bit totalitarian, but perhaps suggested in the most strenuous of finger wagging tones. I've been painting minis for 20 years and I wish I had been able to watch these videos on KZfaq 20 years ago. But then again, I would have had to invent KZfaq first and that would have... you get the point.

Very well done! I have been teaching airbrushing for several years and this video is a great example of how controlled a student can become with practice as well as an example of how it's possible to paint something as small as a miniature. I will make sure to share this video with my students. Thank you very much for doing this video! Be safe, Bill.

@scottchristofersen2367 4 жыл бұрын

This is the airbrushing video I always wanted after I got an airbrush. There are so many "basic" airbrush videos and so few intermediate and advanced videos. You have a well organized and complete format that is fast enough to be accessible and yet I expect people will go back and watch them over and over to catch pieces they missed the first time through as the information is quite dense. I hope you continue to create these.

@scottchristofersen2367 4 жыл бұрын

Also I would probably never pick the color palette that you do... which is great because it expands my ability to see what works and yours clearly work well.

Hi, I used to paint as a hobbyist and competitively, and also, for a while I painted professionally for a toy company in the UK. I just wanted to dip in and say honestly, this is some of the most impressively creative way to paint Warhammer miniatures. I absolutely love the colour schemes and use of airbrushing. We just never thought to use airbrushes like this 30 years ago. Maybe for scenery, but yeah, blown away.
