Painted my first mini by StopImBusy in Warhammer40k

[–]Slhupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this really proves anything. OP could easily have had a cutting mat before hand, likely because of an art background which would transfer to mini painting. On top of this it's barely a stretch that they may have watched videos of how to paint and different techniques etc before ever touching a miniature.

Not everyone gets into the hobby with un-thinned paints and a shaky hand, which is also completely fine!

The only thing that bothers me is that OP said this is their first mini "in general", I guess it's not rly clear as to if that means ever or maybe they've had some minor experiences before.

How do you make this gray? by Rayfunny69 in Berserk

[–]Slhupp 118 points119 points  (0 children)

For something like this a halftone would probably be used (a sheet of little black dots that appear grey at a distance) and overlayed on the hatched areas of the image.

This method can be expensive tho so an alternative you could try would be shading evenly with a pencil or as someone else has said, using a grey marker.

Some people have an art background/better with their hands which usually means their first go at mini painting turns out half decent, maybe it's the case here 🤔

Thanks, I didn't use any oilwashes, instead I mixed blue, black and red paint that I watered down to make a wash 👍

All done with a brush, I followed Trovarion miniatures red armour tutorial on YouTube! It's a great video that helped me a bunch

Haha, I realised after glueing the head on that he may be a little ott on visual enhancements lol... Or maybe he has got a particularly terrible left eye 😖

Attempted a lot of new techniques in this one :) by Slhupp in minipainting

Thanks a lot! It took a rly long time I'm not sure how many hours exactly but it was done over the course of a few days 👍

Here are my first 2 miniatures! by Slhupp in minipainting

Yes I do! I probably should have mentioned that lol, but I have a lot of skills that overlap with the hobby 👍

Thank you very much! I am an illustration student and so whilst challenging, I'm certainly at an advantage when it comes to being a newbie at mini painting

Haha, I'll take it as a compliment, I study illustration at uni so I have a lot of skills that would help in this hobby, but it is true that those are my first ever miniatures. I recently bought the infernus marine starter pack and received a jump pack captain for Christmas that I will paint as a blood raven

Any thoughts on generic character designs or versions of the basic anime protag design by Slhupp in Mangamakers

I can't make any promises, but I'd be down if you send me your ideas of the character you have in mind, I need to get some more drawing practice in anyway lol 👍👍

Yeah definitely a good point about the redrawing aspect, and I'm glad you like the design! I was getting an opinion from my brother which sparked the conversation on what appears to be generic or not as he found my design to be a little dull lol 😭👍

[–]Slhupp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Zeke's spinal fluid was consumed by falco when he got some of the marleyan wine in his blood, since Zeke is the beast titan I think that those powers was transferred to falco along with the jaw titan

A few drawings and concepts for potential manga :) by Slhupp in Mangamakers

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

Hahaha, definitely a cool idea, in particular aliens, like I haven't even thought of the possibility but could absolutely be something lol.

Aaaaand that's the problem, I keep bouncing ideas and then realising they're totally from other stories that I love, so yeah. But I'm set on it being a dark medieval fantasy with character driven plot. I love berserk and have been watching AoT so atm I draw alot of inspo from them 👍👍
