How to paint costume props!

[@HelloKeegs]

Oh my gosh he's AMAZING! I wish I had half the talent he did. You're so lucky to have a guy like him in your life :)

[@sheepashoo1509]

Greetings from 2020! You guys have come a long way

[@KamuiCosplay]

@Etikka I normaly apply a flat base color, then use black and white to mix a darker and lighter tone of the same color and then apply shadows and highlights. I don't use much water, little paint and try to blend the colors together nicely.

[@Ain3ko]

Das sieht richtig gut aus dein Benni hat Talent^^

[@LagoonKnight]

This is a work of Art and i understand now that a bottle of spry paint is a cheep easy way to do it. Hand painting is the true way to go and this was just a awesome way to show it!

[@ItsDomke]

Spray paint is good for a uniform finish. You can even do some slight weathering with it. For detail work you do hand painting. It's just faster doing spray paint, so it's good for the base coats.

[@saphirone8030]

That actually make me laugh considering they do use spray paint. In fact they use both to get the better out of it.

[@pescando]

Holy crap Benni, epic-tier paint work man.

[@tackyman2011]

Benni is a VERY good (SEHR gutt?) painter.

[@bombshellblonde544]

Benni is just too talented for words :)

[@GuardTower]

i like it how you paint for hours. . . and never let any paint touch your hands :3 such meticulous style i wish i can paint like that

[@TheDYLL17]

The best tutorial I've had the opportunity to see . And although I am French and I do not speak English I understood everything .

[@KamuiCosplay]

@MsStardustFaerie You're welcome! They are mostly fixed with hotglue. This time I glued them into these rings and then fixed the rings with the gems inside at the paudrons.

[@Powerhitter243]

I JUST FOUND THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR TIPS, it’s amazing how bennys level of talent has grown exponentially! Also your English has gotten way better :)) love the channel, you guys inspired me to start making props! My greetings to zelda

[@KamuiCosplay]

@SniiFreshOrange Jupp, Acrylfarben. Ich denke, du kannst auch Airbrush verwenden, aber dann ist eine gute Oberfläche wichtig.

[@araisreyr]

I am completely jealous. It's too amazing.

[@penpen002]

Beautiful paint job benni!

[@KamuiCosplay]

@Shipper08 Yep, the basic shape is covered with gesso and sanded a few times.

[@KamuiCosplay]

@BillyNoMate We wanted to try it next year!

[@wimexseven]

He's so fantastic when it comes to painting! I just finish building my cosplay weapon and tomorrow I'm painting it. I hope I don't screw it up.

[@Shimezu]

I've done black spray paint on a solid black chest plate made out of wonderflex, just use "liquitex gesso" for the primer. Keep in mind, it does scratch off if u do not put a sealer on it like the acrylic finish that she used. But i wanted that look so i left it alone and quite literally threw it around my garage till it looked battle worn.

[@xAkiamex]

Wunderbar!! Best painter ever! Thanks for showing us!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Just an acrylic finish. It's called "Seidenglanzlack" in Germany.

[@geniuscrash66]

Dude you got skillz....you would kick ass with an airbrush!

[@raininghard]

This is ALL so amazing!! Thank you so so much! I will surely try this for my next cosplay! I have been having difficulties trying to figure out how to do it but I think I get what I can try now. Thank you a ton! You and your husband are truly skilled and I hope to be as good as you both! Thank you again and happy holidays!

[@KamuiCosplay]

@heartofsteal1001 Uh... I guess he worked for two evenings, each 4 or 5 hours? Well, it was a lot!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Acrylic paint. :)

[@trackspike64]

wow as we say it in the states your work is just sick ...we dont have nothing like it here ..very awesome ..you make a gr8 couple congrads on the wedding even though i dont know when u did get married ..you will do good together as prop designers and builders keep up the awesome work

[@Shipper08]

@Etikka I think what's he's doing is applying a 'blob' layer of paint in an area and then just covering the outer portion he doesn't want to show with more of the base color of paint so it looks like a permanent highlight versus a flat color.

[@KamuiCosplay]

HE'S MINE! :)

[@BillyNoMate]

Thats one patient painter! good work! I wonder what result one would get if airbrushing was used instead. time to visit wiki i think.

[@KamuiCosplay]

@pescando I knooooooow! :)

[@NerdZillaify]

What's scary is that I don't speak german yet I honestly knew a little of what you where saying before realizing I needed the subtitles xD. I can't read it but I can understand a little if spoken to me lol

[@howlographic]

Very nicely done. Beautiful work!

[@JuliaYohai]

GOD. Now i know why you are the perfect marriage. The cosmaker and the painter.

[@Odelle5]

Yay! Thanks for posting this!

[@KamuiCosplay]

@TheGlenndalf It's Safe Habour by zijun01

[@shardarampersad9766]

Master painter benny is

[@Etikka]

Does Benni use water/white acrylic to make the paint shade lighter? I'm interested in how he paints the "shadings" that blends so well :) Hopefully you understand what I mean

[@KamuiCosplay]

@FoxFind It's all paper mache. Please take a look to my paper mache tutorial to understand what I did.

[@KamuiCosplay]

@Aratoxa Mein Mann ist Designer, aber eigentlich zeichnet er nicht viel im Job. Das liegt ihm eher im Blut würde ich sagen. :) Naja... er kann alles schon von Anfang an nicht mehr sehen, aber was gemacht werden muss, muss gemacht werden!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Acrylfarben aus der Tube. :)

[@Shimezu]

never mind! I should read the comments before i ask my own, found it in one of your responses: "I normally apply a flat base color, then use black and white to mix a darker and lighter tone of the same color and then apply shadows and highlights. I don't use much water, little paint and try to blend the colors together nicely."

[@MitsumiKory]

Simply Amazing. Wow.

[@JuliaYohai]

How does Benni handles the color palette, to make sure both shoulders look exactly the same?

[@KamuiCosplay]

@WhaleFan2D Ach, meine doch auch nicht. Aber dafür habe ich ja Benni! :)

[@Revaris]

The music is really beautiful. = )

[@AikochanCosplay]

das nenn ich liebe zur kunst und zu seiner frau, haha, wunderschön!!! ;)

[@KamuiCosplay]

@DieAlteistwiederda Öh... keine Ahnung, ich zähle da nicht mit. Ich glaube aber etwas zwischen 300 bis 400 Euro und etwa 3 Wochen Arbeit. Hi hi, und die anderen können ja den google translator nutzen. :)

[@FoxFind]

What did you do to make it so smooth? Can you use sandpaper to make it smooth or will it take chunks out of the foam?

[@Etikka]

@Mogrymillian Okay thanks for telling me this. I'm trying to paint my pauldrons the very first time and advices are more than welcome. This video and response helps me a lot. Awesome job!

[@Vyalia]

Wow ich zolle deiner "besseren" Hälfte riesen großen Respekt ! Erstens da das Projekt ne menge Zeit vereinnahmt hat und zum anderen das colorieren an sich. Ich nehm mal an dein Mann hat auch sonst viel mit zeichnen bzw colorieren zu tun? Jedenfalls hat er mehr Farbverständnis als ich xD Hatte er denn zwischendurch die Schulterstücke auch mal nicht mehr "sehen" können? ^^ Mach weiter so ich finde die Cosplays einfach klasse :)

[@Shimezu]

i wish my boyfriend could paint like that....i have to learn on my own XD Did he use water to smudge the black and make it fade into the other colors of paint? Or was it a dry brush?

[@williamcuellar7394]

Hi! I have a quick question: does regular spray paint work with EVA foam? is it recommended? thanks!

[@ExhaletheRain]

That is hella good

[@paulacuarental]

And will you ever post a video about how to paint a black armour? Mine is gonna be black, and I dont have a clue how to do it hahaha

[@Shipper08]

I wish I spoke German fluently so I could communicate better with you! What did you seal the expanding foam with? The last time we saw your shoulder pauldron it was covered in expanding foam. Do you just use Gesso?

[@MsStardustFaerie]

Wow! This is amazing. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I just have a quick question: How do you affix the gems to your armour? Do you put it in the expanding foam? Or do you put them on another way?

[@merlin207]

Half assed. Hahaha, you are the best!

[@Kinochan28]

Omg how did I get here? I didn´t recognize Benny at first hahaha

[@paulacuarental]

Hey! One quick question! How does he do the gradients? With the brush very dry and expanding the colour or with more water than paint?

[@kateleopchile]

perfection

[@AkakuKitsune]

Ich weiß nicht, ob das schon jemand gefragt hatte, aber benutzt du bzw. Benni da noch irgendeine Grundierung bevor die Acrylfarben draufkommen oder bleibt es einfach beim geschliffenen Pappmache als Grundlage?

[@MichaelKeeter]

That is awesome! is that a shoulder pad, mask, or what kind of armor is that? What is it from?

[@KamuiCosplay]

Shoulder!

[@nikky8cookie]

is that acrylic paint??

[@SedNobisCosplay]

Can you guy's please make a video that explain's the brush strokes?

[@RoddGz]

Hello, um, did you use something in particular to dry the paint? because he holds the piece while painting liek nothing and its still clean =)

[@smukkepiien]

how did you make this shoulder? did you use worbla? or what did you use :)

[@CozyChicken]

Hey guys did you use black acrylic as well for shadowing?

[@igmolopez7790]

How did you fill in the pores in the foam?

[@MickieMunster]

What did you do to make that black look so blended and smudged (if that makes sense)?

[@MB_42]

Wäre nett, wenn man wenigstens im Untertitel kurz einige Dinge erklärt hätte. Ich hab in dem Video nur gelernt, dass er sehr begabt mit den acrylfarben? ist. Sachen wie Pinsel, Farbe, schlussendliche Versiegelung ect. hätte mich sehr interessiert^^

[@KamuiCosplay]

Schau dir doch dann einfach unsere neueren Videos an! Das ist hier ja schon 5 Jahre alt! :)

[@heartofsteal1001]

without the time lapse about how long did painting this take?

[@rafa4614]

Hey Kamui, what's the brand of paint you're using in the video? It seems to have a good strong colours and is really mat, perhaps you could update the video and show us which paints worked for you great and which ones you didn't like.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Hey there! We mostly use Amsterdam and Reeves color, but I heard Angelus Acrylic Leather Paints are supposed to be amazing too!

[@Sicki6]

Welche fraben benutzt ihr denn zum anmahlen?

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

Wie viel hat diese Rüstung insgesamt so gekostet? Und wie viele Stunden Arbeit stecken da drin? Und ja ich fühle mich merkwürdig hier als scheinbar einziger auf Deutsch zu schreiben.xD

[@satsuki122]

what's the white base color? gesso?

[@FRiiZL3]

how did he made the edges of the black paint soften? it's like spray painted thingy :3

[@gongze]

what do you use to seal the paint?

[@DerSeinFuchs]

Dann wird nicht gesagt was für Farbe wird genommen, wie lange sollte es trocknen, warum diese Striche auf dem Material, was für Pinsel man am Besten nimmt, ob die Farbe an einigen Stellen besser verdünnt werden sollte, durch welche Farben und Pinseltechniken man welche Effekte erzielen kann und so weiter. Es fehlt einfach ALLES, was das hier zu einem How to... macht!

[@cannydoee9612]

My experience with acrylic paint is that it cracks when it's dry....does he seal it with something at the end?

[@KamuiCosplay]

+cannydoee must be a different brand then as my paints never crack... I use clear coat over it in the end as well though.

[@klaupiuu]

What do you aply before painting?, it looks white... :)

[@DeadlyCosplay]

I believe it`s Gesso

[@eveknowles5014]

Its in her other videos, It's paper mache seal.

[@Zyiamu]

looks like carved expanding foam

[@RoddGz]

Well i guess the one sold here dries slower

[@frostybutttoucher7614]

So Seidenglanzlack wird geben, dass glatte saubere Optik? sorry still learning German XD

[@MrsSazzyWazzy]

so i want to an art shcool but they never thought me this kind of epic shit.. like .. skills O_O''' wow

[@TheGlenndalf]

Hi, what's the name of the song ?

[@jfargle]

I used to be able to paint like that... then I woke up

[@itshermit5749]

I don't see the subtitles icon

[@KamuiCosplay]

I think KZbin changed the layout since we uploaded the video.

[@TheGlenndalf]

@Mogrymillian Ty, now i can paint for 5 hours and get that awsome results...

[@thenikko8292]

its just some normal acrylic...it dries fast.

[@yeyegtpp]

you fucking ROCk dude!! >:D that was amazing!!!! >W< ... congratulations!! :D ... whats the name of the song btw? O:

[@DerSeinFuchs]

Also bisher fand ich die Tutorials gut weil wirklich gezeigt wurde wie was gemacht und befestigt wurde. Hier bin ich richtig enttäuscht gewesen. Dieses Video ist kein How to..., sondern nur ein Look how I.... Es ist durchgehend viel zu schnell, auch wenn er das Ganze in die Kamera hält damit man die Details sehen kann, das ist innerhalb von 1-2 Sekunden durch und man sieht gar nichts davon.

[@ladyAbi1]

i WANT YOUR HUSBAND!!!

[@IroncladIrony]

man sieht leider nicht so genau wie die weichen farbübergänge zu stande kommen :(

[@SkyesLimit]

No subtitles...

[@pruedence110588]

I find the traditional gender roles refreshingly reversed here lol! The girl does the sculpting, carving, building, then hands the piece off to the guy to do the artistic paint job haha!
