For comic "black" you want to do a Blue. If you look at alot of characters that have black suits or hair, it is highlighted with blue!

This was cool! I'd love it if at the end of the vide you showd all your space marines you've done so far together, it'd be interesting to compare the different styles next to each other

The "rock" on the base works for me because it reads to me as a piece of slain tyranid.

Damn, Salvador been stealing power armour again

something you might want to look into is tamiya panel liner, or the gundam panel liner. its easier to clean and apply.

I would love to try this for a kill team. Or combat patrol. A full army... wow that's a time investment and a half! You did a fantastic job mate! You should be chuffed!

This is brilliant and works hand in hand with my home brew Ork faction from Pandorka.

Excellent work as always dude 😁❤️👍🏼 This turned out really well, such a cool style. Anytime I hear cell shaded I think of an old ps2 (I think?) game, XIII, always loved that one. Have fun and stay safe 👍🏼

loving this series

That looks sick! Now I really want to use a cell shaded/comic style, but for a necron

The opposite of zenith is nadir. Not sure how you'd turn that into an adjective though. Nadiral?

Homie paints white scars and calls it home brew.

I'd thought of doing this for my ultramarines army, you've confirmed that its going to look fantastic. Thank you very much! 😄

You earned a sub with this video and the Ultramarine! What a great idea for a series and you're a hell of a painter!

Tip for the gun color: go with dark gray and highlight with black, pure black chuncks didn't existed in comics because it will cost a lot in ink (dithering printing limitations) , so the darkest tones you would see on them where dark grays and purples

Very cool! Even cooler considering that a miniature patreon I'm subscribed to is releasing a 1/10 scale model of Lilith from Borderlands next month and I really had no idea how to go about painting it. So thanks for the tutorial

I did quit a number of hero minis in a more comic style, but based on cell shading for the colour, I am genuinely surprised it took this long for the “inking”. However I really liked the work you did. I did like the idea of using zenith and nadir painting, although on a model with more parts you would like need to convert that somehow, so a thought that springs to kind is to do something very similar, and use the gradients to paint over as a way to know where light and dark colours should be in general. V handy tip that honestly. I’m hoping to get back into some painting with the cheap intro box and do it in this style.

This looks like a fun, awesome technique. How would this work for black armor? Do the same thing, but instead of using black as a liner, you use white?

The opposite of a zenithal highlight is a nadir shadow, by the way ^^

For black edges the best method is to use a sharpy or fine liners.

Nice one Simon!

The opposite to zenith is nadir and in your case it would be nadiral

looks amazing :)

Based on the fact that im currently thinking of getting in to painting Warhammer and your statement about this technique to just dont i feel like its a good starting place :p

It's not a well-known term, but the opposite of 'zenith' is 'nadir' - but 'nadiral shading' is never going to be a term used by anyone but extreme grammar geeks.

I was certain that your 2 bits of advice were both going to be "Don't" lol

That is a comic book style cell shading is a rendering style not an art style
