Sounds really epic!

[@brantleyjoaquin3238]

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@deandrekylo1625]

@Brantley Joaquin instablaster :)

[@brantleyjoaquin3238]

@Deandre Kylo thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@brantleyjoaquin3238]

@Deandre Kylo it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@cutterhabit]

I don;t know why I search for this elsewhere, you are always the best out there and have made me a better painter.

[@Cornelius135]

My favorite part of getting back into this hobby is seeing all the AMBITIOUS CROSSOVERS between my favorite content creators

[@MissZombunnie]

Ill never get over that you gave us this content for free, thank you so much!!!

[@matiasfrosterus447]

A great tutorial and superb painting examples and tips!
Just a quick note about the human vision system - the rods don't perceive colour at all even though they are indeed more sensitive to blue wavelengths which leads to the common misconception of the Purkinje effect - it doesn't mean that you see more blue in low light but rather that blue appears brighter and red appears darker (but they both appear monochromatic since rods don't perceive colour).

[@rockybolick9646]

It's so funny how serious he uses to be. Just love to see how he grew as a youtuber :)

[@RosbeOne]

i know its silly but the goblin. It looks just perfect. congrats i love it !!

[@RosbeOne]

and thanks for the tips :))

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That “theft” bit 😂👌

[@cibociscool]

Squidmar is the king!

[@CageyJ0nnY]

Really liking the little collabs and cameos with other content creators, its great!

[@whimsicalamoeba5465]

Dude, you're awesome. Watching your vids has got me back into a hobby I've neglected for years. Thankyou!!

[@josemariacampos2572]

Thank you. One of the best videos (and channel) about miniature painting that I see all around the tube. And one of the best explanations about OSL effect. So thank you so much and keep teaching us please. Great job.

[@King-ci8sk]

I love how I come here for painting tips and this man breaks it down biologically as well

[@nickh9424]

Hi Emil. Can I first say, your videos are awesome! I think you are one of the few miniature painting you tubers who keeps me hooked during your entire videos. Secondly, keep up the great work. You are truly inspiring and you have helped me get back into miniature painting after a 15 year break. Thank you.

[@W.edgewargames]

About a month ago I got started in mini painting, I have tried to consume as much content on "how to paint" from channels like this and many others, thank you for your knowledge of light and shadow, paint blends and techniques.

[@axeapm]

SQUIDMAR FTW! Thank for another Super Helpful Video!!

[@ABeeken]

I know I'm never going to be able to paint to this level but videos like this always fascinate me with the theory of how these techniques work!

[@patriciaepperson7584]

Holy cow! Thank you for this lesson, I'm new to miniature painting and I'm so excited to play around with this!!

[@nickmckeon329]

These help me so, so much!! Thank you Emil and crew!

[@EmmetByrne]

I've only really started painting a while ago and your videos have been a fantastic help. Thanks for all these!

[@n6356583]

I've been absorbing so much information from your channel recently, so thank you!

[@RoboticDragon]

good idea for the light at the end

[@christianjohnson3205]

Thanks for the painting tips and the time put into making them!

[@warhammerscience4997]

im getting so much painting done now that i have found this channel. thanks a lot for all the great content.

[@chadstuart9923]

Wow! Your work and videos keep me inspired to learn more! Thank you for this information!!!

[@MrNaadi]

Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial! OSL has always felt like a "boogieman" of my painting, but watching your process and seeing it applied as the centerpiece of the mini is so informative. It makes me feel like I can do this!

[@sadnessinside123]

Squidlings!!!!! Love it. Great tutorial. Thank you

[@JUSTSOPISSEDOFF]

I'm relatively new to painting warhammer mini's, and I've loved your tutorials. I also like to just play your videos while painting.

[@maggielukasevich7267]

Honestly I just came on here to get some light painting effects and am so wowed by your amazing vid, I subscribed!!!! So impressive!

[@matthewpink123]

The colour filter on a torch is genius! Thanks

[@familymeeple]

Thank you - always appreciate your videos 📹 ☺

[@Albruv]

Fantastic tutorial Emil. Thank you so much

[@jimmyswim3738]

I don’t know what’s more 🔥 Squidmar’s painting skills or that shirt.

[@providence066]

Thank you so very much! You're a great instructor on top of being a talented artist!

[@trydodgingthis]

Thank you Squidmar! You saved my Gorechosen model! I butchered it with just watered down orange and thought I would have to strip it, but your tutorial has not only saved it but made it look fantastic :D

[@simcptmike]

Hey bud, I'm glad I found your channel. I'm a novice mini painter and I'm really finding value for myself in your videos that I've watched so far!

[@pardusprime8643]

Thank you Squidmar! This was a very nice video and taught me a lot.

[@mb8317]

Always feel like I’m getting more tools for my toolbox. Thank you so very much

[@ARCritic]

Fantastic vide Squidmar, enjoyed it a lot.

[@helloharr0w242]

I’m definitely going to want some awesome blue or violet psychic lighting for my Grey Knight’s magicy bits and orange or red for the bolters! Awesome tutorial!!

[@brianwilson1974]

Extremely helpful, and amazing tutorial!!

[@docwex]

Thanks for the wonderful insights!!

[@journeyintohappiness.7657]

Very useful. Something I keep meaning to try.

[@ogrokun]

I laughed hard when Marco appeared
Greatest crossover ever done!

[@TabletopHobby]

This channel is great! Gets me revved up to paint some more!

[@spacewolf_dan8794]

I use your videos as a painting Bible. I truly appreciate all the work you put into these amazing videos!

[@trbry.]

Kärringtröja! Love it.

Estava esperando ansiosamente por esse vídeo 🇧🇷

[@eduardobeltran4497]

Always great content!!

[@VladimirKharchenko]

Thanks for the video mate! I now finally know how I am gonna paint my farstriders!

[@VilzeTSF]

Learning alot, best learning videos about minis!

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

Awesome video as always mate! Thanks for sharing ive learned something new today!

[@user-ro2nn7lt3r]

The Marco insert actually had me laughing :D
I watched his Gotrek video recently. I use effects like this when I do graffiti and its funny to see the difference between the way you guys build up colors. In this case, your sequence is very close to what I do on walls :D

[@dylpurcell1]

Blown away by another great video!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kindlesmith70]

omg YES! this would be helpful to learn if I ever am going to want to paint my Kingdom Death monster minis

[@chrisaurovilian4618]

Great video. Well done!

[@sotos9330]

Very nice tips, thank you 😊

[@timstinies9519]

Oh this is awesome

[@raphaelle_colors]

[@get2burning]

Great instructive video!

[@thetinkerer1021]

Great Tutorial. Helped a lot!

[@pedrogomez7683]

[@danpsyker6122]

[@TheIsgar3]

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Thx pierce ❤️

[@Hope4sun]

Awesome paint job and great video 😎😂

[@AaronAlcaraz]

wow, i saw the goblin miniature in IG, and it looked awesome!, great tutorial, keep the good work

[@tygerdave7892]

Demonstrating Inverse Square is super-easy. Dark room, flashlight, lens on the wall. Slowly pull back and you can see how geometric spread affects the intensity of the light.

[@thegrizzlygentleman9443]

Adding a comment because I was told to.
Awesome video brother. Thank you for everything you do.

[@admiralakbar1936]

loved the physics part, thanks

[@macfenchel2418]

Nice job always amazed

[@kindafishy6248]

This is coming in handy, as im soon painting my Word Bearers with a lot of OSL :D

[@pang-yenkuan]

Great tutorial!

[@dastinhoffmann9794]

Thank u. This will help alot :))
First tutorial where I see the not so quick and dirty dry brushing way of doing a glow. And even though I work as an effect artist in the film industry, I learned abit about that, too! :D
Thanks again

[@DarthSid]

Great guide, thx Emil! My Magore needs some OSL :)

[@graemechapman7078]

Super helpful!

[@archane77]

Can't see me trying to do anything this advanced for a good while but brilliant vid dude :)

[@Crozza86]

Love your work

[@freddyfrieza6742]

Great stuff

[@thomaslyons9038]

Amazing

[@Undeadvegetableinc]

Gonna try this on my chaos sorcerer can't wait!

[@sebastiendesautels8567]

Great video! Thank you !

[@snakemont]

Thank you!

[@fuyuelultimodragon268]

thx from Spain!!!!

[@paintballwasmyname1201]

im trash at painting. watching you is how i learn now

[@jnh1]

A more dedicated video to painting a night/moonlit scene would be really cool. There doesn't seem to be a lot of content on this. Painting different colours to appear muted and lit by a blue/green light seems really tricky and something I'd love to know more about.

[@capidano6248]

That is awesome you and Marco are considering a collaboration! Both your guys videos are tops in my books!
Once again thanks for posting

[@zachdevenney1307]

I enjoy this kind of stuff but it is so far over my head..... I just slap paint on and try to keep it between the lines!

[@adwag3573]

Gotta start somewhere!
