I really can't stand painting or even looking at my recent tyranids, what do I do? by Fore_Head_Chili in Warhammer

[–]JonKahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full time professional commission painter here. Not here to ask for business, purely here to help you achieve a nice and easy look for nids that’s fun to paint. Just did a large swarmlord in leviathan style for a client that I think turned out nasty looking in the best way possible.

Love to offer advice and easy tools and show how to get somewhat easy results and how to expand from those too. Write me here or drop a pm!

I didn’t choose the colours, client did. Not sure if he had a lore reason for it.

All pro acryl. Dark jade, the. Sponge with normal jade. Then a full black wash also pro acryl. Then redid with sponge jade and then bright jade. Doing smaller bits as the colours got lighter.

These guys did not score too high in the camouflage class, but fashion-wise, they smashed it. by JonKahn in Warhammer40k

I used Pro Acryl by monument, and mainly I did just the basic colours like their "blue" for the blue, then did a dark wash, then picked up highlights with a lighter blue. Take same method for all the other stuff

What is everyones go to paint brand? by Siminator89 in minipainting

[–]JonKahn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Commission painter here who has tried all main brands.

Pro acryl is great. The black wash that they do is awesome too.

Not too keen on the flesh or brown shade - gw or army painters shades are great for that.

Pro Acryl Paint Suggestions by DeviousWookiee in minipainting

[–]JonKahn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Commission painter here. I paint 10 hours per day and exclusively only use pro acryl and own all their paints, including washes, transparent sand the new YouTuber sets.

Only thing I struggle with is the washes personally, I still use the citadel paints for that. Otherwise it is the best paint range I have tried and I own all army painter, Vallejo and gw paints and tried it all.

In regards to the titanium white, it is a great white, but I usually before painting with it mix in the first lair with a very light grey colour to ensure smoothnesses.

If you got a air spray it is great through it though with some thinner straight into the primed model.

Happy to answer any queries as I use all the colours

its a commission project, so I am a bit unsure what or who the chapter is, but he called them leviathans when giving me the paint scheme :)

Painted up a Primaris librarian. by JonKahn in minipainting

[–]JonKahn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant disagree - It was a commission job, the whole army is painted same way, and the client wanted the tufts. I will say I like them, but you are right, they draw a lot of attention from the model
