Not only is this one of the better looking tutorial finishes I've seen, it's by far the most comprehensive and easiest to follow! Thank you so much!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks my man, glad you enjoyed it! Give it a go, you might surprise yourself :)

[@R3C0NSPARTAN]

The idea of using texture paints before painting is actually really awesome :o

[@tibblesworth7522]

Gotta say Byron, you're a natural teacher. I feel like I've learbed so much from watching your videos, and its amazing how you've grown as a creator. You've nailed the entertaining but educational vibe. I don't really have a question (rip brush winning chances) but thought I'd drop a comment just to say how much I appreciate the content and how much you fire up my urge to paint and improve!

[@ArtisOpus]

What a great comment to start my day with, thanks so much dude! Honestly that last bit especially is as much as any teacher could hope for. It's my pleasure 🙏 ☺️

[@alphaleigpyne]

This is what I like about this channel, the advance painting for metallic rust effects and weathering details I see and learn here every year. They'll look good on my Stormcast Eternals.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks man 🥰. They absolutely would, I love an alternate SCE scheme so much

[@darrenj3720]

Well this certainly made me jealous. I know the blue/green gets the love but damn I really liked the rust.

[@ArtisOpus]

[@matthewmutton]

I was watching this in Element Games just as I was finishing some terrain, I cannot wait to try this out on some miniatures, such a fantastic video

[@ArtisOpus]

Always great to hear, hope Paul/Ru and the guys looked after you :)

[@alphaleigpyne]

13:31 Those Citadel paints are good choices for rust effects. I use Skrag Brown with a bit of mixed medium as my choice. Very good.

[@ArtisOpus]

My absolute faves for it! Give finishing off-GW with any high matte paint a go, it as a finisher for their more satin ones adds such a cool punchy last step. AK or Pro Acryl are both great

[@garysmithson9707]

This is an absolutely brilliant tutorial on aged metallics. I actually think I've watched it 10 times already. 👏👏👏

[@ArtisOpus]

I agree using photos in black and white, really shows where the light hits well. Really good video!

The textured steel looks awesome! Would be interesting to see more mixes of metallics. Especially some unusual tones (like steel after ‘bluing‘ or ‘browning‘) which aren‘t widely available in a bottle :)

[@ArtisOpus]

Maybe we should do an entire big video on steel. You are right. It van vary so so much..

[@benmiles00]

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

Great video! I would love a tutoeial for painting very dark metal, but still making it read and pop.

[@kamradziejtomal]

Very good. The steel one in particular is fantastic and has so many applications to all sorts of metallic stuff. For the gold/brass I think it could use more contrast - it just screems GOLD! and would benefit more from less shiny parts. You should do colored metallics in this method. I'm going to paint my Stormcasts from the box in a pretty dark green metal look and was thinking of a similar approach.

[@ArtisOpus]

[@Latarius]

Ehi, I wanted to try and recreate your bronze weathering but the label on the ak esmerald doesn't seems right. Your is blue while the ak esmerald I find everywhere (same colour code) is indeed strong green. A totally different color. What's the one used between the despair green and pastel green? I can't find the exact esmerald used.

Adding metallic pigments is a great way to UP the shininess of the metal finish.

[@ArtisOpus]

Very good point! 🙏

[@TK_1252]

I really love the silver metallic with the rust effect. So far I was going the quick way (paionting for playing) with the technical colors but will definately give it a shot. If any possible I would love to see a video on 40K Orks. Love the chanel and the person :) Go on.

[@ArtisOpus]

You can definitely skip a lot of steps here, one thick wash rather than glazes, drybrush just once before it, and at the end, and combining the rust steps. Good luck buddy!

Excellent video as always mate! Eager to see whats next in line for content. I'm curious what you think of contrast and inks with metal paints? I keep seeing people mention that they go well but haven't seen any tutorials on the subject. I wonder how the Villany inks from your last few tutorials would go on some of these as well.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks man :). Good call, too. Both are very useful, I should get some testing in.

[@mikekristiansen7495]

Personally I use fulgrite copper and then I use gore grunta fur as a "shade/wash" over it, males the copper look real nice easily. And I do ratling grime on any of my steel colored metals for a dirty oily look.

[@matthewwood982]

Another good video. The weathering style mirrors Darren Latham's stuff, which is always a good place to start (before GW banned him from KZbin tutorials). Although pronouncing Reikland Fleshshade 'Reek' instead of 'Rike' is a bit painful on the ears. The Germans would be aggrieved!

[@ArtisOpus]

First the world cup and hand balls, now this. I should really give them a little break! I have no idea why I don't pronounce it correctly, I know what it is 😅. Thanks buddy, I'll take a Darren comparison any day 🥰🥰💪

[@hoshi314]

do you have any alternatives for Scale 75 despair green? an AK equivalent if there is one since we don't have scale 75 in Indonesia

[@ArtisOpus]

You could add an ink to an existing paint to deepen it, but I would absolutely try and get the despair green if you can (also huldra blue, elandil violet). Element games stocks them and ships reasonably worldwide: elementgames.co.uk/

The AK pencils are good for doing rust and verdigris.

[@ArtisOpus]

I need to try these. A lot of the industry pencils are normal ones from art that haven't properly been adapted for miniatures. Are they good? Can you layer them on top of each other?

[@LEF3133]

@@ArtisOpus so far i have used them to add mud/dust to capes/pants and rust for my shatterpoint swamp theme. They seem to layer and wet blend to my meagre skills. I usually dip the pencil tip in water then use a brush to apply onto the mini. And the black is great for sooty barrel tips also.

I see some You Tubers say never use the Sable brushes for texture and metallic - Then I see this video. I am a bit confused. Is it ok to use your brushes for all of this? Are their down sides?

[@Ryadic]

Do you have a set of dry brushes that you use specifically for metallics? I figured they would destroy the hairs.

[@ArtisOpus]

Our brushes are fine with it, some of mine are a good 3 years old. I load paint carefully at the tip, and don't grind it into the core of the brushes on a paper-towel, because you aren't pushing paint into the roots damage can't occur there, so there's nothing to worry about! Any of the brushes/sets from here will be fine, if you have any more questions please ask in a separate comment, replies get lost! store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing

[@HooblaDGN]

Hey, I’ve heard that using good precision brushes like my Series S with true metallic paints is a bad idea for the brush. Is there any truth to this?

[@ArtisOpus]

I feel like these days this advice is outdated honestly. Generally speaking Metallic paints are heavier on brushes, but these days so are extra coverage paints, heavy body paints, washes... everything but old school layer paints. I use my brushes for everything, and rinse regularly and use the brush soap after. It is far more important to not dip to the ferrule, or to have old brushes for mixing or scooping paints from the pot, to not dip paint to the ferrule (2nd time, very important!), etc. Perhaps use an old brush for large basecoating steps, but I would just paint with good practises, and remember a quick clean after a session :). Use your brushes and ENJOY them. This is the most important rule 😊

[@Lavendeer201]

Love this, but honestly am not a fan of the verdigris. It looks too contrasted imo. I'm trying to paint it on my World Eaters, but am having trouble with finding light weathering. Every metallic video looks as if the metal is brand new, or ancient :/
