That was a cool tutorial! Gonna have to break out my Flash bust and try this out... never thought about going in with black in the eye area first...👍💩

[@Groundeffected]

Heck yea man. It seems a little weird at first but it really just sells the eyes for me. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

[@Luisramirez-cn7hi]

Never thought of painting the whole eye black. Usually ill run a gundam marker around the eyelid.

[@scottssillymodelworx370]

I wish I could post a picture on here so you can my accidental Goth Superman, lol... maybe now know this things will get better

[@andersdenkend]

You make painting figures seem more approachable, which is nice. Gonna try painting my own 3D prints soon.

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude. Go for it. Loads of videos to help you too!!

[@AsimPaints]

I would have bypassed the pain of using yellow and go with a gold lol. Nice job!

[@Groundeffected]

[@airpaint416]

Beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DoubleDare]

Great tutorial! I love the flesh work. For painting yellow, I find that painting it over white cuts down on the number of coats necessary. Thank you for this.

[@Groundeffected]

If you use pink as an undercoat you can build great shadows into it too it makes a super smooth gradient from a nice orange to yellow like that

[@pier_lucdemontigny4635]

Really nice video format short and sweet. Every thing that I look for. All the techniques are well explained and demonstrated whit out taking hours. You became my favorite teacher from now on! Great job!

[@Groundeffected]

That’s a really great comment, made my day dude. It’s a lot of work but I think the short format no bullshit seems to be the best way to get the information across. Thank you

[@pier_lucdemontigny4635]

@@Groundeffected i've actually got a bust with yellow accents to paint and i was thinking about using my white primer as a base coat on those area since i use it to zenithal highlights any way i think it would be easier. But since it's still kind of transparent maybe we see a tiny bit of red trough the yellow that made it more harmonious what do you think ?

[@Groundeffected]

@@pier_lucdemontigny4635 sor he theory is that you should use pink under yellow to get the best results. So red wouldn’t be too far off from pink and adding white I guess makes it kinda pink

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It so hard to find someone to explain as many youtuber only focus on miniatures . Hope you can add some tutorial such as for your placement of support on the model, because sometimes I had issue when it effect to the textures of the model and need to sand it. Thank you so much

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks. I did notice there isn’t as many KZbin videos on this subject and I felt I could add my knowledge to the pool. I hope you learned something and stay around for more in future. I do plan to do some videos on supporting and printing etc too!

[@Fredster9984]

You might get farther faster with yellow if you cover it with acrylic white ink first. You would only have to go over it twice instead of 3 or 4 times.

[@FelipeCarranzaPhotography]

that is so good, thanks for sharing. what is the thinning ratio you are using for vallejo?

[@Groundeffected]

Honestly it’s mostly water with a bit of paint. Not really sure how else to describe it. But I paint very thin layers.

[@nydriver11]

Is there a way you can break down or put in the description the colors you used for the face and eyes, and where to get or make the glaze you used, stunning work, looking forward to more

[@Groundeffected]

I’ll have to do a whole video to break that down to be honest but a rough start would be the Vallejo fairy skin set. It’s really great range of colour for most skin tones. And I use most of them for making my skin tone in this video.

[@nydriver11]

@@Groundeffected I'm sure everyone wouldn't mind a breakdown video, I'll have to look into that set, watching videos like this is helping me try and get close to what you've mastered

[@Otterpawp]

For yellow, have you ever tried first basing on like a dark gray or other color to help give a better build up for the yellow? Or do you find layering on yellow is more efficient or just as?

[@Groundeffected]

The way I see it grey would need two layers to be smooth and then perhaps one to toe layers of yellow would do it. Or just 3-4 layers of yellow also do it so it’s kinda much of a muchness in my opinion

[@prakashh8834]

[@AlbertoC504]

I live outside us, a couple questions: 1. Is the paint oil base? 2. do the wash has to be "compatible" with the paint or you can use any kind? 3. Same compatibility question for highlights? 4. Do you mix color or all of them you used as they come?

[@MrPgunna]

Killer paint job! What 3D printer are you using? Are you still tattooing at Carousel? You did my Yondu a few years back. 🤘

Yea dude I’m still at carousel. Hope yondu heard good I think there’s a video about it on here right? I use phrozen sonic mini 4K and sonic mighty and nova bene4 mono and ender3 for my prints. Will make some videos in future about the printers as well.

[@SculptTales]

Awesome job! Leaving my suggestions: you might want not to use copyrighted music in your videos. There is a lot of great royalty-free music out there including here, on KZbin. Just search for royalty-free or copyright-free music. Also, please improve the video quality because the resolution of 360p is not good anymore even for a phone screen. Moreover, this is very subjective, but you might want to reconsider using that ending with the f-word. You know, just being more friendly tends to attract people more obviously. And one more thing, I wouldn't speed up the whole video. Some parts of the process should be shown at a normal speed, especially when painting something like eyes. Apart from that, thank you for your content. Keep it up, man!

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you for the Feedback. My thoughts on music are if I don’t earn a penny from days worth of working on a video then it doesn’t take away from me using copyrighted music at the moment (at least someone will earn money from the video). As for the resolution I don’t know why but KZbin takes forever to fully render the video I assure you this was recorded in 1080 and 2k and upscaled to 4k usually takes a day or two to fully render on KZbin. As for the ending lol, that’s just me in a nutshell my friends irl love that ending cos they say it couldn’t be more me than that hahahaha. And about the whole video being sped up I get what you mean but really the video is already 10mins long and looking at the analytics people don’t watch past 3-4mins as it is so I would rather do another video at another time just on eyes for example. This video is more of a brief overview of how it’s done, I will be hopefully elaborating on certain techniques in future videos. Really appreciate the time to leave your suggestions, please feel free to leave them for me I’m always happy to hear what you have to say and I will work on it in the future posts. Hope at least one thing helps you with the video then I know it’s done it’s job. Also please check back on the resolution thing in a day or so and let me know if that improved (it is annoying how much time I spent making sure the resolution was spot on for KZbin to take its time Rendering the had version)

[@SculptTales]

@@Groundeffected You got it! Please don't stop making videos like this one. They are very helpful! Most of the painting tuts are for minis, unfortunatelly.

[@KurtisJoseph]

I am really loving your content man. Keep it coming! I got some FDM printers for cosplay and it is slow and tedious. Question. Can you do 1/3-1/4th scale characters on let's say.... a Mars 2 Pro? I assume you can if you can cut them but do you have experience with it? Videos showing pieces you've done? FDM... no bro. I am not doing it. One month for a Thor statue at tiny layer lines you have to sand between muscles and stuff. It just won't actually look good. I do not care what anyone says. Off the bed they may look great. Once you prime them after days of sanding all the layer lines come right back.

[@Groundeffected]

You can get away with large scale on a Mars 2 but honestly you’ll struggle with 1/4 scale of day look for one size up and you’ll be much better off.

[@KurtisJoseph]

@@Groundeffected I got an Anycubic Mono X coming tomorrow. It is a bit larger than Mars 2 Pro. It has a 192x120x245 build volume. So, we will see bro. Welcome to not knowing a gawd dam thing after waking up and taking shit.

@@KurtisJoseph dude the lowest tier in my patreon gives access to the discord if you want a support group the community is super good over there

[@KurtisJoseph]

@@Groundeffected yeah man I am going to not suck rice though. I need a couple hours to not bludgeon my walls with this laptop because Lychee refuses to read my frikking Viking Thor stl file. Lychee can follow the instructions at the end of this video. What pees me off even more is that I hear the Anycubic Photon Mono X forces you to use a specific slicer. I wanted to slice the entire model and have it ready to print tomorrow... but NOOOO. I am going to see if your Discord group can support me by creating a band of assassins to destroy Lychee developers. Maybe we can have someone 3D model us and we can be immortal STL files! LMAO!

Nocturna fairy flesh set for the skins and lips

[@Sesu22]

how do you stop your hand from rubbing off the paint while painting the rest?

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

How do you put your paints? Wet pallette? Cause my biggest issue is figuring out the color I want for the skin.... how to go lighter and do glazes and such once it's on a wet pallete. Like, what do you mix in to make the skin lighter for the next highlight glaze? White?

[@Groundeffected]

I have made a video on the colours I use for doing skin tones. And funny you mention wet palette and glazes. Todays upload is going to be about glazes. But if you look through my uploads there’s many videos that explain a lot of these questions for you
