How to Paint USHORAN || Flesh Eater Courts in the Grimdark Style

[@S.A.S.H.]

Quite possibly the perfect miniature for the Grimdark style. Excellent video.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! 🙏

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

i love how much detail he went into explaining everything. amazing video and the end results are top notch.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JP-dv7rf]

I've seen many takes on this miniature but this has to be one of my all-time favorites. Absolutely incredible work!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much! 🙌

[@losmiercoless]

That base is everything, absolutely mindblowing piece!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@cykix9499]

The skin on that face and the eyes !!! Just jaw dropping !! Once again smashed out of the park

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you for the kind words dude! 🤝

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

It looks so real. Amazing work, and that base is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

[@theemissary1313]

If GW made just one model that screams out to be painted grimdark, it's Ushoran. Or the new Skaven Vizzik Scour. Excellent work!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! I had a blast painting him! I also have Vizzik sat on my desk 🙌

[@TheFeralPainter]

My man! Smashing it!!!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thankyou brother! 🖤

[@Xero_Kaiser]

I really had no business buying Ushoran yet, but he looked too cool not to have. Definitely gonna have to give this another watch when I finally go for it.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

He’s such a cool sculpt I’m sure you’ll have a blast!

[@Greenlidminiatures]

Absolutely killing it with the piece

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

@GrimdarkCompendium it was excellent. Some great techniques there I'll be making a note of. Can't wait for my phase 2 inks to get here next year

[@sergeantindie8072]

I would 100% go all-in on an entire course of Flesh Eater Courts. I think the faction is *begging* for it.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Of all factions they deserve the grimdark treatment the most!

[@DrGordonS]

Great timing, I just bought this model.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

The stars aligned! Enjoy

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I hope you have a blast with him!

[@taylorbishop6648]

This is fantastic. I love the addition of the rough cloth with the cheesecloth and the additional meat hooks. Absolutely fantastic. Did you just layer the cheesecloth and apply it with modge podge? Or is it just one layer?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! For the cheese cloth I cut it to the rough shape then dunked it in a mix of pva, water and texture paste before applying it to the mini. Once cured it’s stuck fast and solid!

[@taylorbishop6648]

@BlackChaliceStudio man, what a wonderfully creative way to create additional features on the model. Again man, fantastic job

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

@@taylorbishop6648 thank you kindly! 🙌

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Looks amazing! The only thing I'd have done differently was to choose a different color for the fur cape--a brown of some kind, maybe--because I felt the cape kind of blended in with the rest of the mini and didn't offer enough contrast. But this looks like a proper grotty vampire lord regardless and great work on your part!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

[@michaelpost4023]

Looks like something I saw under some stairs a week back, nice! Lol

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Mission accomplished in that case! Aha thankyou!

[@h.n.s.]

I think you did an awesome job there, and I love the feeling of this miniature in the grim dark style. The only thing that bothers me is the variation of materials on the backside. It all looks all too greenish, but overall a great tutorial and have to thank you for that . On further notice I would love to see the model on bright daylight in order to see the textures, the oil paints create.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! I agree some variation could have been added but I wanted the fur and shawl to be fairly low key and not stand out too much!

[@brib9716]

Nice. Really wish you would've gone into more detail in making the cheesecloth cape.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I have a full breakdown on how to model fabric in my recent Skaven brood terror tutorial on the gdc!

[@brib9716]

@@BlackChaliceStudio Yeah I'm talking about something here on KZbin

[@kimolsson3227]

EPIC ! ! !

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Amazing video, amazing result on an amazing miniature :) Something I wonder about: you use cotton swabs a lot. When I use them, I find I get a lot of stray fibers on the mini (including finding them when I think the paint job is done!). I do try to tweeze them off but I’m wondering if you have this problem too and if you just pick them off or have any other tips.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! My go to method for removing stray fibres is a brush very slightly dampened with spirits. It takes quite a while to get them all!

[@TheMiniJunkie]

@@BlackChaliceStudiothank you!

[@christianpearse6901]

Everything is almost perfect, my only concern is the fur on the top of the cape. Surely even a slight drybrush before you matt is back down would give it more texture? The only concern I see with multiple washes over it is that it comes out a bit 'flat' compared to the rest of the model, especially the skin, which absolutely pops

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! I decided to keep the fur pretty low key as it’s a large expanse and I didn’t want it to overpower other areas!

[@ernestgraves4401]

COOL!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

[@unrealassasination]

His voice reminds of Ralph Ineson!

Thank you my friend! 🙌🙌

[@jamessampford4780]

Really enjoyable and different. What are your pointy derail brushes?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! For most of the fine work I use cheap nail art liner brushes bought from Amazon!

[@ghostrhinorhino4287]

Would you ever do Fellgor ravagers or Beastman/ beastarum mini's?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

We’ll get round to some beastmen for sure!

[@ghostrhinorhino4287]

@BlackChaliceStudio thanks you. I appreciate it!! fur and horns are hard to do for slap shops in unnatural colors. Example khorne red for beastman or Tzeentch blue for tzaangors. My question is how to make unnatural colors look more natural on fur and horns? 🤔 I'm probably missing color theory bc khorne should be red skin with black or brown fur, but I'm not sure and still Undecided. Again, thank you for taking your time out of the day to respond!

[@alexnicole7431]

Looks awesome

[@davidostos506]

Where did you get that scalpel?

[@gangrenemccluster7680]

Wait, where did you get the rest of the base from? Did you build it up out of cork? It looks amazing

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! The standard Ushoran base sits on top of several layers of cork sheet broken into shape then formed, texture paste, gravel and skulls were used for detailing along with a couple of scratch built crucifixes

[@just_sn0wy566]

inspired me to go out and get the model now, if u dnt mind me asking how did u apply the cheesecloth and a guide for the base u have there would be greatly appreciated

great! can you tell me, please, which those thin long hair brushes (10:7 for ex)? thanks!

[@lode1514]

Hey I would really like to order the Vilainy Ink starter set, but I'm in Holland. Does anyone have any tips on where to order ?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Hi! I believe PK pro in Germany are the sole European supplier currently!

[@benfieldhicks7064]

do you spray your acrylic shade at the same PSI as your paint?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I generally drop the psi for filters a little (using the pressure regulator on my airbrush)

[@rutgerpijpers5158]

Finally!!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I hope he was worth the wait dude!

[@mortarionthypus6029]

May i ask wich brushes you use?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

For 99% of my work I use cheap synthetic ones bought in bulk, for any detailed acrylic work I use Raphael 8404. I use liner brushes a fair bit too, these are also bought cheaply in bulk!

[@justmeme001]

Does he seal the miniature after he finishes? If so what does he use?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I don’t use any varnish apart from to change the finish of a certain area if required.

[@justmeme001]

@BlackChaliceStudio I see. I'm new to these types of paints. I was under the impression that they had to be sealed once done. Otherwise, the paint rubs off when handling the miniatures.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

@@justmeme001 provided you’ve given oils and enamels ample time to cure they won’t rub off 🙂

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I filmed the footage for painting the base but sadly time constraints on the video length meant I had to omit it! I may get round to a dedicated scenic basing video one day.

[@G.I_Jane]

honestly lighting carries your grimdark look more than any of the painting you do here. There needs to be a showcase without all the post editing. Like normal lighting

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

There is zero editing done to any of these clips or pictures my friend, they are straight from the camera! I use a neatfi xl lamp and a simple piece of black card as a backdrop 🙂

[@mikegeary8056]

Looking great so far, but shame on Villainy Ink for using AI generated slop for the logo. Especially considering they always talk highly of actual artists for the grimdark style.

[@joshuadtedd]

My dude you're getting pissy over what could be an AI generated effect on a logo on top of a free video on KZbin, that contains some of the best painting content currently out there? 🤷‍♂️ On a KZbin channel and organisation that hires and promotes multiple amazing homegrown artists? Come on now...

What? what makes you think its AI Generated, and if it was... so?

@@Orthodox-Rogal lol Right? I have no idea if the logo is AI generated or not and even if it was...who cares? It's a logo. I'm here for the painting.
