I do think the effect on the barrels turned out alright! However it feels less like a muzzle flash and more like the glow of the hot barrel to me. You could accentuate that by adding the effect over the first half of the barrels too!

@SweenyMarc Жыл бұрын
The idea of getting good results and enjoying your painting by relaxing more is so true. Fussing about getting every last detail done "the right way" is a trap for a lot of us. The muzzle flash doesn't look bad either, but some smoke and/or flames from the barrels would really sell the idea they're churning out hot death. I know there's a few 3rd party companies that sell physical muzzle flashes for smaller stuff like bolters but I wouldn't be surprised if there's bigger ones suitable for artillery etc that would work on Ghazkull.

Rough, weathered, and textured is my favorite way of doing things most of the time, and this was a fun video to watch and get some more insight as to what I may be missing whenever I attempt to lay paint to mini. Turns out I miss lots of things, but that's what videos like these are for! Edge highlighting & scratches are the bane of my existence because no matter how much I try thinning or not thinning my paint, half the time I get big ugly splodges that make me frown.

I'm no professional level painter, but what I do is put down my base color, then highlight with a much brighter color. Then I tie it together by putting a layer of contrast paint over it. Specifically for my current 40k color scheme, I basecoat purple, put a medium red over it, highlight raised edges with a red bordering on orange, then hit it with a dark red contrast paint.
@foulmoodcentral2830 Жыл бұрын
For the barrels, and I can only recommend it because i've seen it done by people who love to go all out on overheated looking metallics, is to try a thin layer of purple and blue with some silver, to give it that strange transition that heat produces over metal (maybe that's more a flamethrower thing? I dunno..) ...other then that, I can say that this style is just the sort of crisp and in your face that I can really appreciate for a display model. will definitely try those brush scratchings.

I think it's sweet, especially the fact that it's"firing" the one thing you may want to try next time is to go a little ways down the barrel with the bright colors like it's really heated up.

This was a great video. I have noticed a lot of pro painters pain in this style and it never clicked for me. It’s very much the whole is more than the sum of its parts. When I look at it very closely it seems a little rough but when fading out it looks amazing. The mid tone glaze is truly magic for any painting style. I used to glaze in my highlights and now I kind of realize the glaze is more useful as a mid tone filter. There was a lot of things in this video that I would see and never really clicked for me. This really made me understand

Thanks for reminding us that there are many valid ways to paint and having fun is important part. I've been experimenting with a variation of this style but creating textures using over thinned paint and a big brush ( like a 6-8). The concept to have fun and pushing color combining base coating layering and weathering steps together and then detail and clean up steps together.

Barrels are cool (counter-pun?) AF. The entire model looks great. I actually wish for more videos on that technique exactly, I'm not trying to win a Golden Deamon, I have a job, kid, house to take care of but still want my minis to look great. What you did with the airbrush there was incredible as it perfectly laid down the undertones of the entire model - making NMM feel even before the scratches. I would gladly welcome an entire series on this style - and pushing simpler approaches to their max. I much prefer this to oil washes, which, although great, do feel as the same level of "sort-of cheating" as regular washes and are boring in general while contrast paint/slapchop always look the same to me. This on the other hand, is perfect.
