How To Paint A Beholder For D&D | Wizkids Nolzur'S Marvelous Miniatures

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Which other D&D Nolzur's Miniatures would you like to see speed painted?

[@Tarrasque87]

The frost giant!

[@johnatthebar1165]

Any of the Dragonborns

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Tarra Sque I should probably finish him :/

[@GodOfMoxie555]

The Githyanki, who doesn't need space pirates in there dnd game?

[@LukeHeuer]

The frost giant!

[@marksable5753]

Love that you are doing the Nolzur line. Would you mind listing the paints you use in these videos going forward? Thanks

[@rockfarmer2524]

Your videos are really great. I've been lurking here for a few months and I've really enjoyed watching you paint. You are like the grown-up, no gimmicky version of Miniac (Who I also enjoy watching a lot). I especially like your airbrush work. If you ever plan to do a "buy this unit of X models (for practice), these paints, and follow along!" that would be amazing. Keep up the good work, your video quality is great.

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Thank you very much! I really admire Miniac and hope to have as much success as he does, so I'm flattered by the comparison. I'll consider the buy and paint along idea as well :)

[@toddzino58]

Agree 100%. This video was a joy to watch and I learned a lot. Miniac is very knowledgeable and full of talent but difficult to watch. Too much nonsense for me.

[@lostonwallace1396]

The "physics" behind pulling down with the brush being easier is that you're doing a more natural arm movement. Brushing upward will always offer more resistance as your fighting gravity, don't forget. Not so when you have gravity working for you in the downward motion. I'm a comic book artist who inks with a brush often, so that's always been my experience. By the way, you did an amazing job on this Beholder, and I love that you got rid of the silly wedge eye thing. Great decision.

[@dazman1973]

The D&D universe is an awesome place for your imagination to flourish. Great video, looking forward to the rest in the series. 👍🏻

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Darren Turner thank you!

[@halmartin7417]

The speed painting king is back at it! Happy new year, Jarrett

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Hal Martin thank you sir, same to you!

[@trevorjeg1107]

Thank you for taking the time to set up this video. I enjoyed your work. Would love to see you paint a Troll and a Carrion Crawler

[@charlesc1583]

Nice job on your Beholder, using just inks on it I can say that did not cross my mind. now I have a new project to try out.

[@joemello6467]

Great work! I just painted the Rust Monster!

[@nikhilweaver265]

I have looked at a bunch of places online for those Vallejo paints. Do you know what pack they come in? I looked for those id numbers but still couldn't find them in a pack of Vallejo game ink paints? Also, what is the "Green stuff work" you use?

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

I need to get some of these for my Campaing not sure if you can in the UK

[@someonecomenting1300]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[@Eth12]

This Is So Cool. It has amazing detail

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Eth totally!

[@brandondollar]

I used cotton swabs for the smaller irises, and dotted the pupils.

[@jasonsavage2865]

Outstanding work sir! I'm waiting for the dragons to come our.

[@Rob12ser]

Just got my black dragon today and its stunning

[@13Robzilla]

Really love this video, definitely a good exploration of the ratio time investment/end result. Absolutely love the eyes those are top notch the iris's steal the show. Only thing I would do different is the teeth. I find that using lines (as opposed to smooth blending/layering) lends to the effect of making it look like growing bone. Great job!

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Rob Harget thanks Rob! Great point about the teeth, I'll try that sometime!

[@horrido666]

This miniature is amazing, and thus is really hard to find. They are coming out with an undead beholder in a march - already have three on preorder.

[@mikco11]

I really like how you used inks and basically get free highlights. I think this is a very good way also for beginners. I think I am gonna try it. Do you think I get the same result with just thinned down base colours like Vallejo for example or do I need ink specifically ?

[@TheMiniJunkie]

I feel like you need the transparency of inks to really make this work. I guess an option would be to think regular paints with glaze medium. Since this video, GW Contrast paints were released which are also a good option.

[@lubbockleft]

Really enjoyed this one

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Thank you!

[@mushythemushroomwizard7712]

How do you attach the bases what come with the minis?

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Elster The Wizard superglue

[@PaigeMustang]

"just eyeballing it" lmao i died

[@Rabbott3565]

Hey new fan, thank you !

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Ooze welcome!

[@Ratling_rat]

Did you have to clean this miniature off before painting it?

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Nope

[@Callaidos]

Awesome

[@charleshodapp2427]

Thanks

[@qchrisw]

Just an FY-EYE…there is a clear lens, included in the packaging, that is supposed to go over the cut out eye

[@TheMiniJunkie]

I "see" what you did there!

[@beta5751]

Personally I think they could have not cut so deeply in the eye but only go in maybe 1-2mm to give it depth but still have enough material to paint

[@johnkirk2863]

I would rather advice on how to GET a Nolzurs Beholder without paying an arm and a leg

[@TheMiniJunkie]

John Kirk recently my local store had like 10...they sold out really fast but WizKids definitely seems to be restocking them periodically.

[@johnkirk2863]

@@TheMiniJunkie OHHHHH..Ill have to keep my eyes peeled..that mini is so hard to get..BTW nice paint jobs

[@VsevolodTheTabletopCrafter]

О! А я своего немного иначе покрасил☺️
