    Wow! I'm literally blown away by how easy you make your painting look and how incredibly effective it all is. I'm just buzzing to get started now - I've ordered my first small set of paints to follow your grey D&D terrain video!
    I love your choice of colour palettes. I think half the skill is knowing which paints to choose. There are so many different colours and shades it seems overwhelming. Maybe you could do a video specifically on colour sets - palettes or combinations of specific paints that work really well for building up the layers.
    I'd also love to see a video on painting small treasure chests fast. I know you don't play D&D, but for D&D-ers like me having a loads of different treasure chests are so cool to have dotted around. I'd personally love to know whether you can dry-brush these for speed :)

    • @ArtisOpus
      @ArtisOpus  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey dude, I was talking to a friend recently about this, it depends on what you're going for, and at what level, there is a nice 'hack' which is fine if you're just doing flat black panels where your paint the entire model metallic, and then just fill in the non-trim areas, our next tutorial covers painting gold, conveniently :D.
      What time/level are you going for?
      Blue metallics is suuuuper fun, one of my favourites is to paint the entire thing from black/dark steel - bright silver with drybrushing, then wash after, and repeat the final highlight.

Right now I stand at around 6 hours per model (not a fast painter). I'll give a shot to basecoating everything metallic then painting the armour panels. Right now I'm using my own mix of different types of citadel paints (2 part maccragge blue, 1 part incubi darkness, 1 part leadbelcher) to achieve the mettalic effect but shading (or maybe I should invest in some contrast paints) would work probably better. I tried it in the past but had a spotty finished maybe I didn't dilute properly my wash. Thank you for the advice ! Looking forward to your next video.

  • @patrickball-stonejunction3177

    I really like the washing and contrast methods because leather sections are often small and hard to access, like gun holsters on a space marine, so these two are really good for sections like that where stippling and drybrushing might not be as easy. Also really like using the paints used in those methods, they always come out so well and behave nicely. How would you go about doing a red-brown leather though? Ideally with washes or contrast if you've got any ideas?

      If anything they're actually easier, you don't need as much exageratd contrast on larger areas (you'll notice they often have pretty subtle highlights/less harsh), plus the techniques with a patina have way more room to shine :).

    • @andrewamann2821
      @andrewamann2821 Před 3 lety

      Obviously not Artis Opus, and being honest, I don't own any of their brushes (yet...), but I have been painting for a while. Whilst price doesn't say everything it can say a lot. I've done amazing work with simple white nylon brushes, care, and some experience; and I've done garbage work with a set of Kolinsky sables that I quickly destroyed because I didn't know how to care for them. That said, inexpensive, but robust, tools are rarely ever perfect for the job you're doing with them, and good quality, but specialized, tools are very rarely all that great for jobs outside of their scope, though that scope can be much wider than you first thought. But artist brush price tends to correlate pretty directly to labor cost, and if the output of that labor is good, the brush quality tends to show up in spades on the finished product.
      When my budget constraints aren't so tight, I plan on getting, at least, a set of Series D's, if only to compare against the set of cheap little makeup brushes, and softer-bristle synthetic filberts that I use for drybrushing and overbrushing. They look like a good tool for the kit, judging by the results I've seen, thus far, both here and elsewhere.

      Our brushes are hand-made (and not by Chinese mass-production), using the finest materials, by people who understand what's required, that's evident when you use them, they're densely filled with finest-grade hair, of a perfect length. The copies you may have seen appear since we released series D aren't made by people who understand these requirements, they break, rather than breaking in, which is a key part of AO's design, it's one of the reasons ours last so long, you can use them 3x longer than others, and retire them to stipple-only, rather than the bin :)
      Any more questions let me know, I spend 5 years working on Series D, I'm pretty qualified!
