Nice to see Ralph Ineson tryings his hands on painting.

[@toadpope2522]

This tutorial does such a good job of demonstrating how high contrast makes minis interesting to look at regardless of how saturated your colour palette is. This is also perfect because I planned for this happy fellow to be the lichlord in a current campaign haha

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

I'm looking to start a Slaves to Darkness army using some Rescale prints and hope to deliver even just a fraction of this aesthetic to the models. Thank you so much for the clear and detailed video.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I've been refreshing KZbin all day. Outstanding work. That cloth is perfect

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Glad you like it!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked the video 🙌

[@TheMichaellathrop]

I always think that high gloss black eye are super unnerving if you want to go for something near human. Also maybe paint in a dot of a high gloss metallic(maybe a way based) in the middle could be very very cool.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thanks for the suggestions dude! 🙌 I was aiming for the “event horizon eyeless” look but gloss black dead eyes is a good shout!

[@jredhayjay196]

I love that bloody hand effect. I definitely need to try it! Amazing skills

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! Carrion crimson is wonderful for these type of effects 👌

[@is042688]

Great video! I have already printed the model and hope to use it as my Deth Wizards Necromancer. One thing I wish you guys would put in the details is the upscale percentage of the mini you are painting. While it makes sense to paint larger models for an instructional video, there's no denying that the process looks a lot different and can be much more difficult on smaller models. This one must be upscaled by 20% or more.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! This was indeed upscaled by 20% if I remember correctly, primarily just to show how great the details are but also to provide a larger canvas to push the effects further than would be possible on a smaller scale. Just one of the reason 3D prints are so versatile!

[@ricardoflummiremus]

Masterpiece!!

[@wonderboy2402]

Great effects and tutorial. Thank you.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Guess I've got a Flesh Eaters colour scheme now, cheers 👍

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! The pale skin would definitely work with flesh eaters!

[@Imperial_Boltgun]

Slick skillz.

[@DyingtoPaint]

Great video. The “angled dry-palette” tip is pure gold. Any links for the soundtrack?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! The angled pallete gives different ways of applying the products for sure, the soundtrack was all created by the extremely talented Zatcaskagoon miniatures!

This is the sickest sculpt and paint job i have seen in a year. You did amazing job. I dont see this scuplt in the shop. Will i be available later?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much! He is available directly from Bestiarium currently 🙌

[@IDHC_CBSickles]

also with dirty down if your adventurous apply it to your model then introduce a quick blast of flame. it add some pretty crazy texture to the applied area and you being that it's just a quick flash it doesnt harm the model, atleast in all my tests it hasnt.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

@@IDHC_CBSickles I like it!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Oh that’s awesome! thanks for the tip I’ll give it a go!

[@IDHC_CBSickles]

​@@GrimdarkCompendium @BlackChaliceStudio it gives it almost a sandpaper like texture at times, it's pretty wild. i cant say if you can reactivate it with water afterwards. ill have to do some more tests soon.

[@cykix9499]

@@GrimdarkCompendium this is possibly one if not the ONLY channel I watch and go yuuuup I think I could have a good stab and that and it's achievable!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

@cykix9499 thats great!! We try to develop highly replicatable methods that revolve around the reductive technique, which is the easiest way to paint.

[@IDHC_CBSickles]

killer model, killer video. now to get that effect on the arms with the crimson using a brush would the best be just dilute it and glaze it one? i assume just regular water would suffice.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you kindly! For the initial carroburg application yes indeed you can just apply it thinned slightly then blend off the edges with a brush and water. Repeat applications will increase the intensity!

I don't paint grimdark as I paint 6mm epic 40k difficult to translate your tips to that scale. Have you any videos or know of someone who does a grimdark 6mm to 8mm scale? Great video, by the way.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! Painting at that scale definitely has its challenges but I still think a grimdark theme can be applied to a force as a whole. It would be easier to translate over things like armour, walkers, titans etc. Let me see what I can cook up!

[@Paul-lt8lz]

Thanks a lot. Yeah, i agree it does translate. Although I don't really know what I'm doing, make it up as you go along touch. I'm new to painting, so it helps watching videos. It's just scale down everything like streaking with a fine hair touch.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

@@Paul-lt8lzI’ve yet to see any grimdark epic scale so that could be a fun project!

[@Paul-lt8lz]

Thanks for looking. Yeah, I've searched all over, not a popular scale, really. I'm definitely gonna try the inks. the blood on the hands looks great. I've been using blood angel contrast with old nul oil and then paint with ardcoat long process.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

@@Paul-lt8lzyou’ll really enjoy carrion crimson, you can achieve numerous effects with it depending on dilution ratio and how long you wait before applying it!

[@PepitoKin]

To my taste I would prefer it with less cleaning in between washes. Otherwise awesome video.

[@dennisgates871]

Villainy ink... I'm not a fan .. cool packaging but I don't like how it works :( gave it to a friend .

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Should've got in touch for help.
