How to Paint: HOBGROT SLITTAZ - 3 ways | Dominion

[@jeanfoutre3620]

This is extremely high quality advice. Excellent tutorial! I especially like the yellow and pink skins. Excellent!

[@Bruno24-j3r]

I just love how you keep things simple and it still looks sooo good🔥

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers, dude! Troops have to be simple... or you go mad! :D

[@negotiableaffections]

Those who use the word 'nerd' derogatively would never understand the term 'tabletop art' - but that's what it is; ART! With your colour mixes, shades & blends [at micro scales, I might add] you show how painting is a singlular vocation from 2D canvas to tiny bits of 3D plastic. One vocation with many techniques but always ART! - I remember the late fantasy/satirical writer, Sir Terry Pratchett saying that he'd, occasionally been accused of 'literature'.

[@ArtisOpus]

Dude, even being referenced in the same paragraph as the late, great, Terry Pratchett has made my day, thanks so much, I'll carry on happily nerding out over colours, and gantt-charting my army progress happily :D! Thanks for the kind words

[@mikehawkins346]

So ready for this!!!

[@ProrokLebioda]

Great technique for simple yet effective base troop. I sometimes get focused on finishing too much and try to paint every little detail, losing too much time on troops. It's hard to keep in mind that I can indulge myself on characters, but should save time on troops.

[@grimharkness]

That orange scheme is gorgeous and the green is perfect for Oldhammer Gobbos to boot. I'd love to see how you tackle the Gutrippaz and all their different textures.

[@Pihnes]

oh man, the vibrance on the green one.

[@andrewpepper-parsons9630]

Man, oh man I really liked these models. Is it crazy their my favourite from the Dominion box set. I love the hobgrot with the grenade.

[@nettiejohnson325]

Absolutely love how you paint these, all three are great. I ordered my dry bushes and hoping they arrive soon so I can try out your techniques. Please keep painting the Dominion set, I'm looking forward to seeing how you paint the rest of the army.

[@mikehawkins346]

Skin #3 with Armor #1 for me, now to see how you do the leather for the Gutrippas and the flesh for the Gnashtoof. Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!!!

[@ghostface320]

I think people forget how effective and simple dry brushing is

[@ArtisOpus]

The entire world :D we're doing our best!

[@paulmurphy7087]

Thanks Byron. Superb as ever! Can you give some insight as to when/why you use Lahmian rather than Contrast medium when preparing your washes? Thanks

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, it's basically whether I want it to behave like a Wash (Lahmian), or a contrast, they don't feel hugely different, but just to be sure, when I'm going for more recess pooling, and 'softer' effects, I use Lahmian. If I'm making something a bit more 'turbo' strength, that behaves like a contrast then I use the other. Hope that helps, thanks for the question, dude :)

[@paulmurphy7087]

That's helpful Byron. I will give it a go and see how I get on. Might try Lahmian when I wash some of the Knights armour panels. Loving the latest set of tutorials. Paul

[@Helghast73]

All three looked great, tempted to paint all three skin and armour tones across the lot included with the dominion set, help break up the monotony a bit even if it takes a touch more time.

[@efinel]

Excellent! I was going to paint the kruleboyz a yellowy colour! Green's so common 😁

[@blacktemplar667]

I started looking for a painting tutorial on goblins / green skin yesterday...and boom, you come up with a premiere on exactly this topic. Must be some weird warp-telepathy😜

[@LetholdusKaspyr]

I was going to make an observation on heresy, but then I saw your name. Hail, brother!

[@corey8248]

Nice! I went with blue skin for mine

[@ArtisOpus]

I think that'd look great, bright, or subdued?

[@corey8248]

@@ArtisOpus it's a bit of a wip right now but brighter Based w/ahriman blue Double wash w/ thinned down drakenhof nightshade Then a bit of wet blending with a couple different mixes (1:1) ahriman blue and baharroth blue & (1:2) ahriman blue and baharroth blue on the muscles and edges

[@n0nms604]

Great video thank you

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks buddy :)

[@MrJoshuakirk85]

Star Wars you say? I wouldn't mind seeing your take on some Death Troopers. That sort of shiny plastic armor looks intimidating in black.

[@egiljo72]

Great tutorial video as always, Tnx 👍

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, man!

[@rickohanlon3370]

Loving the Dominion videos so far, keep 'em coming! Maybe for a future video, an Orruk painted with an albino skin tone would be interesting? Also, would be cool to see your take on a 'Stonecast' living statue Stormcast model with glowing eyes/weapons, etc.

[@GoldenRogueMinis]

Great job the orange one is cool as F

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, man! It turned out looking surprisingly organic, given the starting colour :)

[@MrRouggy]

Awesome ! what is the Dampening Pad for, plz ? Clean the brush?

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, check our intro to drybrushing, it's basically to introduce a very small, but predictable amount of moisture to the drybrushing process, which increases quality loads :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanYimWEjcp8aK8

[@nickbroekhuizen8858]

All three brilliant .. how would you put on blood specs?

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey, Nick, with a product like Tamiya's X20 Clear red, probably - it's super deep a glossy, it's often mixed with their 'smoke' to make a more grim and less shiny looking version.

[@nickbroekhuizen8858]

@@ArtisOpus Thanks ... any possibility u can do it on one of your vids ... :)

[@karlbrown1663]

Do you have a tutorial on the dampening pad you use for your brybrushing? What brand it is, how to use it best, &etc

[@zolboz]

Great video!!! complimenti!!! what Is the glass full of bearing on the right?? i want one for myself!

[@overbehindunder]

really cool showing the 3 styles. I like.... them all? :D

[@Ulrican414]

What is the purpose of dampening the dry brush? Is the moisture supposed to avoid the chalked effects commonly associated with dry brush? Wonderful work btw.

[@ArtisOpus]

Almost exactly this! Check out these two for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oanYimWEjcp8aK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5-4iKqnaLanmdE

[@cablesalad3168]

Great video. I prefer them more grimdark, though :-)

[@roochman]

do you remember the exact mix of black-to-silver you did for the really dark armor?

[@ArtisOpus]

Nope, it doesn't matter at all though, I would imagine 2:1 but as soon as you start adding the black bit by bit you'll be able to get a perfect colour, good luck!

[@paulbestwick2426]

Byron how about some really small models such as the Lord of the Rings goblins. I would like some idea of how to vary the skin tones amongst a unit without losing coherence.

[@jmc7034]

How about painting some form of aircraft (of your choice, either sci-fi or historical ) and weather it as well as adding battle damage

[@pattyjohnston6781]

Yes!!!! Starwars Legion, please!!!

[@Interzone88]

Grimdark steel stormcast please.

[@neilg6675]

Nice job, though those models are so bad I think slightly thicker paint is whats needed here. Just thick enough so you can't see the detail

[@Bruno24-j3r]

Artis opus in 2021 be like: 17:54 More black is darker, less black is lighter✨

[@ArtisOpus]

I am wise like Buddha :/

[@liquiddude9855]

Just use contrast paints :-) Painting 40 models like you would take a year :-D

[@aleksanderk6311]

No vid tonight 😭😭😭

[@ArtisOpus]

We got an England through to the Final instead, all good ;)

[@boranbkk4270]

Was Nuka Cola the sponsor of this one?

[@philgee486]

I genuinely hate these models, the other orcs in the box are stunning (once I trimmed the junk off the crossbows), but to me these are lame looking, and the armour is even dumber than GW usual. This is reflected in the mass of them hitting ebay and going for peanuts, be nice if GW paid attention to that for future orc developments. I'd intended that for my 20, but just not worth boxing them up for the money I'd get, they'd be worth more to me as spruegoo. I've had another idea tho I do like the orange skin, I'll base mine on ochre I'm shaving back the armour to give me basic bodyshapes and covering them in my basing materials, mud, reeds, weeds, grasses, they're swamp ninjas. They've rolled around in the swamp, covered themselves in mud, added reeds, weeds, and leaf litter as a sort of messed up ghillie suit(ish) camo. That way I can cover all the stuff I don't like, just leave parts of the faces (swamp ninjas break up that head and shoulders silhouette) and limbs, probably with white ghost/skull facepaint showing underneath as a unifying feature for the army. They will look like determined, ambushing, skirmishing, swamp auxiliaries that know they're outclassed against most enemies in a fair fight, and just don't. I'll add bows and javelins to many instead of daggers, and equip the rest with nets. I may add some bolas, they're so easy to make, but only if I myself pick up some of the cheap ebay slittas now that I have a plan that attracts me to them, go figure. Slittaz, no. Snagga swamp commando, yes!

[@draraist]

its Vo-loop-us ffs. Not voluptuous. Love your painting though.
