How to Paint Ghosts

[@ElevatedMinis]

You guys like the new format for the video? Thought I would actually get in front of the camera and give it a shot. Most nerve-wracking minute of my life, hahah.😂 Any advice on making it look better would be awesome!

[@MrDracoSpirit]

Nice method. I don't think I do my ghosts exactly like you are, but I love the idea of using different subtle pale shades to break up the different materials of the model without being -too- different.

[@ElevatedMinis]

Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully you got a little something out of it, and gives you some new ideas to try!

[@raireed8167]

I really like that fog effect!

[@ElevatedMinis]

Thanks! Hope you give it a shot, and let me know it turns out for you :)

[@sinkthepink83]

I really like that!

[@X4ngu]

I wonder if spraying it with clear-cote matt finish would keep it in place for longer?

[@ElevatedMinis]

Yeah, not sure on that. Thought about it at the time, but was worried about screwing it up by getting it all clumpy which would kind of ruin the effect, I think. Never did test it though. Let me know if you do!

Digging the channel so far. I may just apply the first step you did for the hair here when trying to paint black hair. Looks good!

[@ElevatedMinis]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel, that means a lot :) As far as the hair... it was a bit of an experiment for me, and I wasn’t 100% happy with it, but it’s all good. I’m learning like everyone else :D

Love this tutorial. Wondering (since this video is a couple of years old) how the cotton “mist” holds up? Has anyone tried it with varnish on the model? Wondering if that would give the “mist” some durability or whether it would spoil the technique…?

[@dmstretch6634]

Instead of the nuln oil on the hair, I personally would use drakenhof nightshade. Tie it in with the blue of the nighthaunt gloom but still give a dark shade.

[@IlPiTube]

Great tutorial. This is exactly what I was looking for to paint some ghosts in Mansions of Madness.

[@ElevatedMinis]

Glad you found it useful :)

[@zachlove2689]

This was awesome! I really wanted to paint some ghostly minis and just had no idea how to approach it.

[@ElevatedMinis]

I appreciate that, thank you! Hope your minis come out even better! :D

[@julialewis8794]

New sub. Great work it's a gorgeous piece. As a critique, you are zoomed so far in that there is some trouble with staying in frame. Other than that your instructions were clear and the fog effect was something I had been looking for. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElevatedMinis]

Appreciate the critique and kind words :) Good news about the zoom is I just got a new camera this last week which should help with all the focus and framing issues. I know it has been a problem I’ve been trying to fix. Glad I was able to help you out with the fog :) Thanks for watching! :)

Bro did u ever get round to painting the dragon in that box I've never tackled something that large and your the only person I've found that painted zombicide

[@brainpinker282]

Love the Fog effect. For durability, maybe a fine dusting with a Hairspray?

[@ElevatedMinis]

Yeah, I tried using hairspray as a test, and didn’t really like how it looked. Came out all stringy and not like fog, hah. Could be lack of skill as well, haha.

[@brainpinker282]

@@ElevatedMinis Ok good to know, have you found a useful solution?

[@ElevatedMinis]

@@brainpinker282 - Haven’t tried anything new recently but I can tell you the cotton has held up a year later as long as you’re careful handling the base.

[@Ethanlightheart]

What's the minis name

[@mahdiarimani5619]

خیلی خوبه

[@michaelgamble8491]

Did the ghost laugh when you painted its feet?

[@ElevatedMinis]

Just in case someone were to peel away the fog... the feet were indeed, painted, hah.
