In this weeks video I talk about Object Source Lighting, or OSL for short. That's when you want to make it appear as if an element of the model is giving off its own light: in this case, it's a torch, but it could be a flashlight, a glowing gem, or even a magic weapon as well. This my first attempt at OSL, so please bear with me as I figure out the technique!

I briefly skip right to the end when watching painting videos to see what is being painted first and I genuinely thought this was wired with an LED for a moment. lol You do great work!

One thing that tends to work slightly better than just the yellow glaze is to also use a little bit of a more pale orange since that tends to cover more of what firelight does with coloration

Now that is a very impressive miniature you did there my friend. The flame and the OSL effects you did are superb in my opinion. And I totally agree that the female attire here is much better than the fantasy bikini types. lol Also, that background music really made the video even more interresting too. Great work again my friend, and looking forwards to the next project! :-)

Great job, the miniature is very pretty and quite realistic, and you have nailed the OSL effect, maybe you have gone a bit too far in the face but, as I said, you nailed it.

Like I said, I don't mind pushing the lighting in a case like this. You get really close to a light source like this, and the figure is otherwise supposed to be in a very dark place, it is actually going to give an overexposed or washed out look. It's a bit of dramatic license I guess, and the more you do it, the less the figure works in general conditions. This one really belongs in a special black shadow box with a monster sneaking up on her or something!

A hint for general shading I would give, is that the colour you want the material to be should generally be the brightest colour you use, as i believe we do not use an average to tell what colour something is, but the high tones (other than sharp highlights, obviously)... And add grey to your paints! desaturate those colours! If you don't it will make your army look "wrong" somehow, and it will be hard to tell. Distance actually makes things desaturate through the atmosphere, so for miniatures that are small, you generally want to give the impression that instead they are far away. When working up close, it may seem bad or dull, yet when viewed on the tabletop our brain interprets the desaturation as distance and gives the illusion of brighter colours far away. Not really heard you talk about this, yet it seems like you do this somewhat with all of your models, perhaps accidentally. This is an issue with GW and (by extension) vallejo game colours, as they are oversaturated, however vallejo's model colours are already in this range. The reason for this is actually that models sell better on the box art when they are very vivid like that, and thus people want to recreate the box art, but if they toned it all down I think they would like the results much more. It would be nice to see a collection of your miniatures from a tabletop distance to show this off.

I think this probably depends on style and your art background. If you come from an artist background and are good with color theory (as I suspect she is) shading and desaturating colors by mixing complimentary colors often looks much more dynamic, realistic and interesting..... Relying on grey or black to desaturate often gets your colors very muddy and I prefer mixing compliments instead for minis since they are such a small scale, I think it often needs the contrast and saturation to read well from a distance.... Of course it really is a personal preference thing and depends a lot on the setting of your game and atmosphere your looking to create. 😉

Christy I have a really good idea for a german uniform tutorial you haven't done yet. A tutorial on the Schutzpolizei uniform. Google "Schutzpolizei tunic ww2" for color reference. It's a very interesting greenish blue tone with bright green piping on the brown cuffs and collar! I painted some normal heer riflemen like that and they look great! Would love to see your take on the uniform :)

Looks pretty good, I must say. Nice model too. I'm usually not a fan of OSL as many people seem to simply paint the model as normal, then add a bit of colour to one side to represent the light. But by adding the shadows as well it works nicely. There are a few points I don't quite understand though. 1) Since you use different tones to paint the light and shadow side, why bother painting part of the model white in the beginning? I though the idea of doing pre-shading on a model was that you could use the same paint all over, but if sufficiently thin the undercoat would still be visible thus providing light and dark areas. 2) I'm not sure about the yellow added in the final step. Wouldn't it be more correct to say that the light itself has no colour but that it will modify the colour of the object it strikes? Thus, yellow shouldn't be painted straight onto the model but rather mixed into the basic colours as you're painting? For example, if I put my arm under a red light, it would appear reddish. But it would be because my skin took a reddish hue from the light, rather than because it had actually turned red. Hope that makes sense?

Hi Allan, As I mentioned in my intro, this is my first attempt at OSL. I don't claim it is perfect and I'm sure I could do various things to refine and improve the effect. I'm afraid I don't have a more academic explanation of why I did certain things the way I did. It just "felt right" at the time and I was personally not unhappy with how things worked out. However, if you feel that the white undercoat could be omitted or that the lighting would be better if yellow was mixed more strongly into the highlights instead of as a glaze at the end, I suggest you do it that way yourself. Learn from my shortcomings. :-D

No worries. Your shortcomings are still better than what I can do on a good day so... I haven't yet had reason, or the courage, to try it myself, hence why I was wondering why you did as you did. But if you were just going with your gut feeling... Well... I guess we're in the same boat then. :-) I was thinking about using pre-shading quite heavily in the process. But your remarks about the different tones of colour on the light and shadow side of the model has me thinking that perhaps it's not that simple.

I HAVE found that the base coat does make some difference to how the overall colors end up looking. Compare my earlier videos were I base coat in grey to my more recent ones where I use black. It seems to have a subtle effect on the richness / brightness of the colour. So it's not exactly pre-shading, but whether you use white or black as your base coat, it does seem to change the brightness and warmth of the colors in your end model.

Interesting. You've certainly given me something to think about. I need to try this at some point in time - just got to find the right model for it.
