  • Stepping out of my comfort zone & painting my first ever Space Marine. I decided, as I so often preach, to paint something different and new to me. This is a mini I have never painted before and yellow is a colour that I often disregard - a learning experience. I really tried to do this miniature justice by giving it my best.
    For those of you that are new to this channel.. welcome! And please, if you are after a straight forward A - Z tutorial of how to paint Imperial Fist's... well.. there is quite a lot of that around, so this one is a bit different. That said, there is a lot of tips and tricks here as well. If you have the patients. Stay Safe!

      @@52Miniatures None are to the standard of yours. Though it's nice to see you use a similar technique. I undercoat orange, then a few zenthinal spray of yellow. Then a heavy brown (oil based) wash over over, before a hour or two removing the wash with a cotton bud and white spirit, till I'm happy with the result. Even better is that it works (I think) for individual men and tanks (my Spartan is painted with the same method as my marines).

      Turquoise contrast with HIS yellow because he dis an orangish yellow and while the yellow complementary color is purple, the complementary color of orand is blue and turquoise has the green that contains yellow AND THE BLUE that is in green also and is also added to green (blue+yellow and blue + blue to have equal green and blue so like having 3 parts of blue and 1 part of yellow). So orange having blue as a complamentary color here we have a bluwish green which (if its exactly between blue and green) is 3x blue which is complementary of orange and 1x yellow which us the color of the armure a orange yellow so you have nearly complementary (yellowish orange complentary would be bluish purple, here we have bluish green) and the.liitle.bit.of yellow that diminish the contrast.

    This turned out really well!
    I remember my first Space Marine, it was also yellow. I was 14 years old and wet blending was something unattainable only seen in White Dwarf 'eavy metal pages. I remember the power sword had flames painted on it using glazes of red ink. It was my best painted mini. While showing my friend at the front door he was also impressed with the paint job. Several second past while he was turning the miniature around to look from different angles when it slipped from his hand and fell to the concrete floor flattening the nose on the miniature, it was one of the now out of production lead variants. I wish I had kept hold of more of my miniatures from that era, knowing that I would come back to the hobby one day and have to re-buy them at extortionate prices if I wanted to paint them again!

    To be honest, that is a rather spectacular paint job on the marine thingie. Agreed yellow is rather difficult to paint even when it’s on a flat surface with no shading or highlights! Oils are a great addition to the painting arsenal, agreed the extra step can be a question of ‘should I bother’ but once started it gives a life to the paint that washes and glazes can’t. Really enjoyed this vid, off to watch another of yours!

    When we start painting, minis or something else, drawing etc we learn that darkening a color is not necerraly adding black like orange can be darkenend with red , redish brown, dark red, etc the green can be darkend with dark blue but as you learn and apply the rules (espacialy if you want to get out of your confort zone and if you like to learn, as you said), you learn that after the 1st step of acknoledging the rules and master them, the second step is to break the rules, as we usualy ear, first know and master the rules then break the rules.
    The idea is to master principles, rules, laws and even exagerating them like having a green that have dark blue shadow and yellow highlights and doing it different way like having it maybe very progressive or not at all, you can have your green that has a big range of color like going from a very dark blue to a less darker turquoise, to a "normal" green to a yellowish green to a yellowish white.
    Practice and explore, this is what going out of your confort zone is and exploring means also trying to break a bit the rules like darkennink your yellow with black instead of going for RED OR GREEN, like the 2 directions, ideas that arent just darkenning with black.. you can go browinish orange which I considere being the red direction because orange is putting red into the yellow.
    But did you explore ? Did you try to break this yellow darkenning "rule" of going to orange red or green ? Did you try to darken it with black ? Did you already mixed yellow with black ? Who in the comment already tried to mix yellow and black ? If you tried it say it as an answer under my comment and tell me what kind of color did you obtain, before continuing reading my comment. You xan just say "yes I tried the mix before" or "you gave me the idea and I decide to test it" and then "I obtained a .. ... ... color"
    Ok now if you are reading this, I am assuming that you already gave tested the yellow and black mix, almost once in your life. The color that you obtain was certanly a kind of camo/olive green which btw I call false green because there is no blue, its black instead, black and yellow.
    Now, from here you can considere a third path for darkenning yellow, you can go in the hot with red, orange, brownish red or orange etc, you can go in the cold direction with blue so you have a greenish color, green being yellow and blue. And now, instead of having only the hot with red or cold with blue, you dont need to be afraid of black and can do it other ways with the third path :camo green, olive green which as I said arent green its a third path and to darkent even more mixe the camo/olive "green" to black and/or use black ink and in the other way, to lightening, mix the camo/olive "green" with yellow.
    You'll be impress by the result it gives, I personnaly love it, much more than going into the otanges or the greens.

And sure, I can mix yellow with black. But it was not really the look I wanted for this :)

    So basically your dude lends you a hero model...and you paint him dead and rotten hanging from a shield. What a friend you are! 😈
    Really good results, love what you did to the mini. The warm yellow works really well with these blues.
    Glad you went the extra mile with oils, I often neglect them too. In the end, this vid is stuffed with great thinking like think out of the box, getting out from your comfort zone and pin washing.
    Free tip. Don't put your oils over a palette but on a piece of kitchen paper:
    This way the disposal or remaining oil painting not transferred to the second palette is cleaner and easier BUT paper sucks part of the oil from the pigment so once thinned will dry a little faster.
    Cheers Alex, have a nice weekend!

      Only to remind him of mortality you know - memento mori... 😂 At least he got to be a holy dead person and not just the regular kind.
      That is a very good tip with the paper, some of these oil paints are so very oily. Thanks. I’m glad I went the extra mile. Thinking of batching up on some “standard” batches. So that I more easily can just grab some oils and go.
      Hope you are staying safe. Missed your comments on the last video and was a bit concerned, that everything was okay. Don’t think I’ll manage to get any more videos up before Christmas, so Merry Christmas! 🎄

      The way you made the theme, the lore permeate thru your unique take on these stormcast is superb. How they are geared towards battle, madness driven cause the resurrection. You made them more fearsome than the undead they fight against.

    Started the yellow the right way.. using pink.. but you only need to use a transparent yellow over the top, the transition between the pink and white, will give you the transition that you used the orange for.
    basically... paint it pink... spray on the highlights with white.. cover the whole thing with thin layers of a transparent yellow.

    I feel like (as boring as it may sound) a thorough review of (Renee) DeGa and particularly maybe Picasso (the early stuff with all the yellows) would really help in studying yellow and the appropriate effects; maybe more important is the way they went about observing objects in nature - put some yellow pears or pale oranges and a Tonka truck on a table in a room with 1 small window and no lights on, take some pictures and just kind of look at it from different angles. My opinion is that extreme lighting takes us to the edge of what color and shade can do, particularly because as the amount of light fades our ability to detect the color diminishes as the cones in the eye require a certain amount of saturation to 'turn on'
