Well ...this has been a journey... ever since I painted the first of these a few years ago much has changed, but the enjoyment stays the same!
I only just now realised the parallels to Slapchop, mainly why the technique exists and what the implications for painting are, so I thought I'd put my thoughts on it in video form, while we expand the grimdark series by another chapter.

For anyone who wants to do this but is unsure about doing really fine edge highlighting with a brush; Get a colored pencil like white or lightblue and run that along your edges. Or normal grey pencil for putting edges on metallic stuff. Works like a charm and is very easy to control or correct if you mess up.

@XiongGou 8 ай бұрын

I have just started painting and edge highlights are incredibly difficult for me. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough paint on the brush, sometimes too much. Despite all the resources, there's a lot of common knowledge stuff that isn't common for beginners.

How good are your follower's results? AWESOME! You're teaching and helping so many painters, Trov. Love it. You hit a HUGE nail by stating that you needed to define your own methods of weathering on the smaller scale. Doing it all with acrylics also helps the younger crowd. Not everyone has access to oils and enamels. You can do so much with a basic acrylic starter set by getting creative.

Hey Trovarion, apologies in advance for getting a little mushy here, but I wanted to thank you again for this video. I came to your channel for the techniques and painting tips, but the thing that always makes me pumped to come back for your next video is that I just freakin adore you. I identify a lot with things you express about your personality in this video and others, and not only does it feel great to feel like I've got a lot of common ground with someone I look up to, but your openness and honesty about your struggles and challenges and how you cope with them--like constantly needing to evolve new styles in order to not get bored, etc.; I feel like that stuff gives me a lot of insight into how to cope with my own struggles as an artist, and I think that stuff is at least as valuable as the techniques and lessons about painting itself, and I just can't thank you enough for being you, sharing yourself and your art journey, and for the years of great content and lessons.

It's fantastic! As an Ultramarines player it's something that I have a strong urge to do as I think it would simplify the painting process for me (I'm not very good!), however I think for now I'll stick to a more 'standard' method to try and improve my basic painting skills, even if it takes me longer. Definitely going to try this approach on a future army. Would be really interesting to see how you'd apply it to a metallic armour colour - thinking something like Minotaurs etc.

@donald9377 Жыл бұрын

When it come to a slapchop paint job style. I used a familiar method for the Ironwarrior, Word Bearer ,Black legion and Night Lords models. As to give them grim dark look while looking clean enough look for some one who do regular maintence to their war gear. For me i find acrylique paint and Vehelio paint with some shading work for a grim look. Also to make some of my models look like their gear have a grim dark look that the gear seen better days i like to use a scapel blade and damage the mode for where damage done by a melee blade or a bullet make sense for a mark left on the armor still from a previous fight.

Although i opt for a more clean style when painting my miniatures. i love watching these videos and seeing the results. It looks really striking and very much like you expect to see a war torn marine. One thing that would be awesome is to see this approach on a darker color scheme like dark angels. I always struggle to weather darker base tones, as a lot weathering is is dark grimy colors which don't always have the impact, compared to doing it on a yellow or blue.

When I first started doing minis, I got some flaks around me because I would paint my space marines as dirty looking rather than all clean. I do get the satisfaction of having a nice and clean paintjob, especially when you are learning the basics, but I got brushed off for the ideas of doing Space marines that looks battleworn as just me hiding how bad I actually was at painting rather than me truely liking my paintjob. Sure I did and I still suck, but your minis and your paintjob warms my heart that yes, you can get a very awesome looking space marine that looks like he is on an actual campaign rather than a military parade, and the paintjob would still look rad.
