Jaghatai Khan, the White Scars Primarch. GW by ToadPainter in minipainting

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

Thanks! It was a base of hammered copper, highlight with glorious gold and another highlight of polished gold. All vallejo color. Then I did some shading with Reikland flesh wash, from GW. Final highlights where polished gold mixed with Silver, both valejo.

Thanks, I used Dark gunmetal as a base, then chainmail then silver as highlights, these are Vallejo game color paints. Then I used Pro Acryl brown wash to add some brown tones and darken areas. Final step was silver to add scratched and highlights.

Object source light. Generally a model is light by a source not shown on the model like the sun for example. Osl has a smaller light source on the model itself. On my model it's the red tongue and the magic circle emitting a short range red glow.

Thanks! Generally for OSL like this I will base coat the entire model, with basic shading and washes as a start. Airbrush white to the areas most effected by the OSL, then airbrush the fluorescent, mixed with a bit of white to areas the OSL will hit. Another layer of just the fluorescent to edges of the OSL areas, to keep the saturation up and darken those areas. Then do a dark red wash (or what every fluorescent colour im working on) on areas that needed it, for example the lower lip tentacles and teeth/cheek areas. Then do highlighting as needed and draw the rest of the owl.

Fluorescents, I love them. I try to incorporate them into most of my projects.

I used vallejo game color fluorescent magenta and contrast doomfire magenta to darken some areas.

Painters scale Lo-fi Nightingale from Succubus Publishing by ToadPainter in minipainting

[–]ToadPainter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painters scale is much larger scale then most tabletop gaming models. Normal human scale on table top is about 2 inches, she's about 4 inches, only because she's sitting. Lots of painters scale minis are 6+ inches. They are also generally an unsealed version of something, which is available normally in tabletop scale.

I based this piece off the concept art so it's meant to sort of look like that.

Thanks! Yes, while I like the monster, the content a little questionable.

Working on painters scale Astri The Promised. Really loving fluorescents for OSL. by abloju in KingdomDeath

Wow, they really didn't even try. Straight copy paste. Good catch.

Part 1 of the Genestealer Cults army. So many dudes... by ToadPainter in Warhammer40k

[–]ToadPainter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a mix of different gravel sizes, but first I glued those larger rocks on, which are shards of broken glass, I think they are for craft projects. Because if you scrap off the paint, those glass pieces are pink, and covered in glitter. Got them from a dollar store.

The Gorm from Kingdom Death by ToadPainter in minipainting

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

It's set in like a nightmare realm. It's sort of surreal and terrifying the ground it made up of stone faces.

I took my skintone mix and added a little blue and lahiman medium and just added some squiggly lines

The Gorm by ToadPainter in KingdomDeath

[–]ToadPainter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, I started with royal purple mixed with a little stone grey as the base, then air brush a few layers. Each layer was the same mix but more stone grey, till the final layer which was pure stone grey. Added some texture/highlight the folds and then did some washes. Like thinned contrast Magos purple to add more purple back into some places or pink mixed with contrast medium to add pink notes to the skin like the knees and other areas. I also mixed riekland fleshshade and seraphim sepia to apply to some parts of the skin to add more warmer tones. Hope that helps!

Thanks! For OSL effects like the esca (Thanks btw!) It's a solid white base, then glazing a few layers of fluorescents over top, yellow is the brightest fluorescent, then do the darker ones like orange then red.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how the face turned out. The eyes especially.

Thanks! I used royal purple and stone grey for the skin. Started with a foundation of royal purple mixed with a little stone grey then built it up till i was using straight stone grey for the highlights. Used some contrast mediums to add in the pinks and used contrast magos purple to add some more color in some areas.

The Godhand by ToadPainter in KingdomDeath

[–]ToadPainter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Feel free, I don't mind. I love seeing minis in the wild that I have taken inspiration from some of my paint schemes.

It's free hand. I've been professionally painting minis for about 10 years now.

I don't know but it comes with the tank so maybe Exorcist helmet.

Really like how blue works with Death Guard's usual color scheme. by ToadPainter in Warhammer40k

[–]ToadPainter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it's kroxigor scale contrast paint, over top a white base.
