How to Paint NECRONS Flayed One || Warhammer 40,000 in the Grimdark Style

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

Incredible. This never really had any 'ugly' or 'trust the process' looking stage. You can just tell the whole time that it's going to be mindblowingly good. I have many Necron models to paint, so this is a video I'm going to come back to often.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙌

[@Orthodox-Rogal]

Beastial as always! Black chalice stuidos voice really fits the imagery of the grim dark aswell lol! Its all brilliant

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Very kind of you to say so thankyou!

[@diyfireking]

Incredible work as always 🙌🙌

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you!

[@Hippiecult]

THIS is how Necrons should look! I can’t wait to use the Phase II Villainy Inks!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! You won’t be disappointed 🙌

[@OverlyCynicalPirate]

Are you planning on doing a tutorial for accomplishing that awesome flayed skin sculpting? It's perfectly minimal!

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! I’m sure I can incorporate some flayed skin into another project and record the process!

[@OverlyCynicalPirate]

@@BlackChaliceStudio Would absolutely love that!

[@jonoheath4221]

Yes! Been looking forward to this one since I first saw the pics. Another stunning piece and tutorial. Really can’t wait for phase 2

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you kindly!

Thabk you. It would be cool to see you take on a skitarii ranger

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you! We intent to cover every faction eventually!

Wow man, the flesh looks so real, perfect job, real artwork😊

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you kindly!

@ insane stuff🤟

[@draconicrift8974]

I know you did an Imperial Fist not too long ago, but I would love to see your take on a grimdark Lamenter. Perhaps a Sanguinary Priest?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Stay tuned! We have plans for all sorts of videos!

[@DylanBartle-il9xc]

I always thought that for a race that has been in stasis for millennia the official colour schemes are way to clean and crisp so painted my dynasty with heavy use of basing textures to give a grittier look. Luckily I’d held off on painting my flayed ones so now have the perfect inspiration for how to proceed with them….bring on the necrotic flesh 🤢keep up the amazing work 👍

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@joshuadtedd]

Absolutely insane work 🔥

[@knight_of_aces]

Can all of this be done without an airbrush? I'm not able to use one because I don't have the room.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Of course! I just use an airbrush due to it being a handy time saver. You could prime the mini with a black rattle can and then build up the base coat and highlight on the flesh parts using the stippling technique which gives a really nice mottled and irregular look. Start with the base coat, build this up until you’re happy with the opacity then move onto the highlight just covering less area than you previously did (imagine the light source is from above)

[@benives254]

BROWN stuff now?! Wassat?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

It dries less flexible and is easier to sculpt hard edges into so it worked quite well!

[@somewhereyouarent]

How did he get a different head like 2 min into the video ?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

I decided the original head looked a little too much like he had an emo haircut so decided to swap it out! Ahah!

[@22Leob]

It’s hard to really judge how good the paint job is or if I would like to paint it when the video is so manipulated with dark filters and colour correction and low aperture. It would be ok for some of the video but feel like you should show some true lighting or light box video / photos, this video specifically is better but others in channel suffer from above issues.

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

When creating videos I use raw footage and don’t apply any filters or color correction! The videos and pictures are as close to real life as possible 🙂 The choice to shoot at f.20 is made to ensure that the entire mini is in focus at all times, wide open aperture makes for some nice artistic shots but tends to limit focus to a very minimal plane, often meaning some parts of the mini are out of focus! I also find that light box photos “wash out” the paint job due to them usually being quite confined and making the lighting quite harsh!

[@22Leob]

This video specifically does not suffer from it as such more the other videos creators that contribute so my bad there sorry just went with the newest video

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

@@22Leobno need to apologise dude! We all have preferences when it comes to presentation, I really like the more artful / atmospheric take on things but prefer to keep things basic myself.
