I would love to see your take on a 3 ways of doing rust effects

[@ArtisOpus]

Nice, I think weathering is such a useful tool to so many, which they worry about unecessarily, great idea! Plus it would give me an excuse to have to learn two new ways of painting rust!

[@filmguru4]

I'd love to see 3 ways of weathering armour. I think I'd like my Chaos Space Marines weathered, but so far I don't feel comfortable enought to do so, so a tutorial for quick and easy techniques would be gold!

[@ArtisOpus]

Good one, perhaps conventional, pigment, and 'effect' paint, or do you mean like chipping etc, rather than rusty?

[@fredogknopfler]

@@ArtisOpus 50-50 I guess. I like rusty effects for metallic parts (I'm searching for a good verdigris technique atm), but also all the dings and cracks of a battle-worn armour or vehicle. Also now that I think of it, for cloth, since I always see focus on weathering armour and metallics, but quite less on weathering cloth.

[@westonbarney3737]

Would love to see the color purple done three ways. 1 desaturated 2 warm purple 3 cold purple.

Not the first to ask for this, it seems to be a popular one! I guess it does look legit on space marines, but is also quite hard to get right...

[@Ed-xo9pc]

Id love to see three ways for a heavy texture cloth like hessian, great for robes on minis like Dark angles, storm cast, peasants, that kind of thing! either that or Ill second the suggestion on reflections below! Great having you guys back on a regular basis!

This has been asked for a lot, and is obviously a blaring omission in our library, thanks dude. Pleasure to be back :)

[@boukhiar]

Hey Byron and others! It would be amazing to see „3 ways to make reflections on your minis” especially how weapon can make a reflection on armor, and vice versa, how glowy objects such as mushrooms, lanterns and many other can be reflected on other elements of miniature etc. Im sure you know what i mean. P.S. Your job is amazing, thank you for this channel guys. I kinda can’t wait for next video right after watching the newest. It happens everytime bruuuuh :D

[@thomasgross8289]

The effect your speaking about is called object source lighting. OSL. If you want to search for examples of the technique, there is some out there for sure. A good idea for a video though, you have my vote!

[@ArtisOpus]

You're not the first to ask this, nor will you be the last, good idea!

[@ArtisOpus]

Correct, and I agree, it's a good one, also I have been practising recently!

[@boukhiar]

Haven’t checked other comments tbh :) But thank you for OSL name, i’ll check it!

[@dedrite4781]

So useful. Thank you. I’d love an in depth videos on different approaches of using washes with accent highlights like you did with shaded version. Sounds simple to some, but I’ve seen varying degrees of success when attempting.

[@ArtisOpus]

Maybe '3 ways to shade' and '3 ways to highlight' could be good, each has several different ways to go about it (e.g. for cloth, for edge highlights, for large objects, for highly textured areas)

[@SlamTackle]

I'd really like to see a video of three ways to paint gems from the channel.

[@ArtisOpus]

Brilliant suggesiton, I am sure people would fine this useful, would 3 different colours, or 3 different techniques with the same colours (maybe slow/medium/fast) be more useful, do you think?

[@SlamTackle]

@@ArtisOpus I think three different levels of techinques would be useful, because some models, like a lot of Lumieth Realm-Lords, have tons of "optional" gems. It would be nice to see how to get those done efficiently, and also have some options for centrepiece models that you can justify spending more time on.

[@grumpiegaming3307]

Contrast looks fantastic. I am more of a old school guy but starting to use more techniques. As for a new 3 way I agree OSL is on my list. As always thank you for your work here to help us all become better.

[@ArtisOpus]

My pleasure, dude :) awesome to hear we're helping to broaden your set of skills! OSL has been asked for a lot, sounds like we gotta do it!

[@nessa-parmentier]

Nice colors Personal tip for the crosshatches : don't stop at 2x2 lines, it looks a bit artificial. Still a nice detail but I prefer having it spread out a little, mostly over specific areas that would be more likely to be used

[@ArtisOpus]

Absolutely fair dude, you're right, noted.

[@tobilynnswarthout2690]

I think a three way of silver would be amazing....have some trouble with that color....you are excellent with how you teach thank you.....👍‼

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, my man! I loooove metallics, we could definitely do this.

[@greyseer6089]

I'm always amazed by how effortless you make this look! I think the stippling one might have been my favourite, as it looked so smooth. I see several people have suggested OSL already, so how about three ways to stone and interesting rock or marble effects on bases and scenery (beyond the usual grey)?

[@cedrominiatures9170]

Awesome work, thanks for sharing! I would love to see your take on 3 way of doing Martian bases!

[@ArtisOpus]

Interesting, like otherwordly colours, etc? Or slime? :D

[@kornklone]

Method 1 was my favorite. The finished result looked very nice and vibrant. I also really liked the leathery look, so that would be my 2nd fav. The 3rd method I didn't particularly like, but I think would look really cool with an overall worn-out or weathered look. Great video, loved it.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, man!

[@pazuzu_666]

I believe a 3 ways to do purple would be of great help. It seems to be the hardest colour for me to get an effective "range" of colours in. Always seems to come out the same. Either too violet/pastel, or too dark/plum.

[@ArtisOpus]

You're not the first to ask this, I will ask Andy for a bit of advice, and see if I an get some practise in with it first.

[@pazuzu_666]

@@ArtisOpus Thanks for the reply. Oh, and thanks for the pen with my last order. It writes quite well. :)

I love the additional staining the multiple layers of contrast paint brings to the mix - I've only ever used it as a one and done, so thank you for the tip! Richard Grey does an amazing style of NMM with stippling - I'd love to see a 3 way method on stippled NMM. Different bases, and different stippled colour layers, really seem to change the appearance radically. It would be great to see the D series tackle that!

[@ArtisOpus]

You're welcome, my man! That's a great idea, we could even do gold, silver, bronze, and finish with some tips about glazing and highlighting them, I think that'd be an amazing video.

[@jasonperri9763]

I really like Method #2! Incorporating a little blue to the red allows an even smoother transitions. Suggestion! Please do a “3 different” to do OSL perhaps? I would like to see how it’s done perhaps using a dry brush. Thank you!

[@ArtisOpus]

This has to be the most requested video, I am going to give it a proper think and work out what 3 ways we would do

[@danielhackett893]

Great tutorial! I'd love to see a three method video on fire... what's the best way to handle the transitions, the highlights, and the shadows. It doesn't have to be the typical red-orange-yellow fire either. Bonus points for including your take on OSL effects!

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey there, that's a good idea, we've got a fur video, but it's not a speed techniques one, I would also perhaps pick different models if we did another. Thanks!

[@rufffinoo]

1st method my favourite, I believe. Too late to re-do the robes on a knight’s horse I’m currently working on but perhaps a light dry brush of Mephiston Red will help tidy it up. Best set of brushes I’ve ever owned, by the way. And I’ve been round the block a loooooong time.

Thanks, my man, happy to be helping with your hobby! You can absolutely jump in with the mephiston, just go careful and soft, you'd be surprised how easily it is done. Good luck!

[@Jean-bat.man_paint]

3 great ways but each results are cool. i prefer the first with contrast because i use it a lot but for an awesome result i think the best for me is mixing with stipple to finish ;)

Maybe something like a Star Wars Legion AT-ST would be cool for this since it seems to be a solid go to demo model.

My pleasure, my dude

[@jcillis]

I preferred the the stippled no washes method. It gave a more washed out red that went from almost ruddy brown to bleachy coral and seemed the most "cloth-esc" of the bunch. Personally, I would love to see a "Green 3-Ways" tutorial video with a twist, Green Skin, Green Armor, and Green Cloth. Each of these requires a unique method for both execution and finish that I feel would not only be particularly useful in a number of applications, but also likely highly malleable for other hues. Great tutorial as always and thank you for posting while busy on the road.

[@ArtisOpus]

Oh now that is interesting! I really like the ethos behind it, just covering the colour thoroughly in different applications. Would it be more useful if it was the same colours used in each one, to see how it worked on different parts, or different colours each time? I'd have to recalibrate my brain for the thumbnail :D

[@jcillis]

@@ArtisOpus I think that it wouldn't have to be the same colour across the board. There are many colours, though I feel green is particularly good at it, that can be both warm or cold, shadow or highlight, smooth or textured, both life and death. Green is so malleable with the addition of other colours, undercoats, or washes that I feel it would be a disservice to pigeon to a single hue. Now, if you use the same green across the video and add other colours or treatments to show how flexible a single green can be with the other colours of your library as a foil then I can see that pulling things together in a nice tidy AO video package. And you'd also be able to flex your favorite green Flesh, "Metallic" Armor, and Cloth in the process. Thanks for listening and can't wait to see if this sparks anything for you.

[@KatJackson2]

Love it!

[@seanhadley2672]

Brilliant and useful video as usual. I really liked the effect from the Shade/Wash technique. I'm going to give this a try on my Etheral model. For a 3-ways suggestion you could perhaps do a Skin Tones tutorial. This could be human or fantasy / alien tones to mix it up.

There are a few to choose from honestly. Scenery/bases hasn't been done for a long time. 3 ways frozen/arctic. Was going to suggest Teal 3 ways, but someone beat me to it. So, what about chrome, with and without metallics? "Realistic" water for scenery 3 ways, without using resin/water products. (Sorry Byron, no easy suggestions tonight :'( ) As for the best robe. The middle one is what I'd use.

[@ArtisOpus]

Haaa, they don't have to be easy to be good suggestions! There's some good stuff here, I like the idea of the same colour with, and without metallics, that's very interesting...

[@abcbcd533]

Love the idea of drybrushing and then using contrast paints. Was trying this on some Cursed City rats as a start. Was to careful with the drybrush so after using the contrast paints there could have been more contrast. :) And good idea trying the contrasts on a palette. Is obvious but i really didn't think about it when painting the minis. But giving them a final layer seems totally neccessary if you want to get good contrast. Really nice vid. Thank you.

[@abcbcd533]

As a next vid I'd really prefer osl / glowing. I'm acutally painting Sylvaneth with a lot of runes or these ghostly guys in their branches. I'm also tried one on a lava base (if you want I could send you a pic - but I guess that would be more of how it does not work. :) ). But the glowing effekt doesn't really work if there is no real "light"-reflection. Looks ok but somethings definetly missing. Questions I'd like answers to is (aside from how is it basically painted): * What needs to be considered regarding the color of the light? * Whats important to get the "glow / light" feeling? * Is there a diffierence in osl on armor or cloth? If yes, how do I get a result having both on the miniature? And is it neccessary to do the difference? * What about the different strenghts of the light? e.g. a rune on a stone may be a weaker lighting than a campfire, a lantern or a spell. I hope you get the idea. :)

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, OSL is a great idea, it's definitely something people struggle with, and quite a few people have asked for it. I do, the breakdown was really helpful, though, I'll refer back to this when we get to making the tutorial to make sure I have covered all bases.

Thanks, Ryan, it's our XXL Palette (we ship worldwide): store.artis-opus.com/en-us/products/xxl-texture-palette-a3-brand-new-product-design

I would like to see 3 ways of painting a BattleTech mech. It could either be 3 different styles (a heavy weathered one with battle damage, a pristine one out of the factory, and and in between), or three different palettes (flashy colors, muted\dark colors or metallic, and cammo pattern).

[@andersolsson1659]

Love the 3:rd one! Looks almost as leather on my screen.

[@ArtisOpus]

🥰 thanks buddy!

[@KezzaWinter]

3 ways to do animal skin, like horses or gryph chargers, would be really helpful

[@ArtisOpus]

Niceee! Fur, or flesh?

[@KezzaWinter]

@@ArtisOpus I can dream for both! Flesh would be very useful to make the most of all the detail on the newer GW animals, I need some tips to really bring the most out of all the muscles and definition! Do love using the D on fur though so some super secret tips from you would also be very very welcome.

[@crashandburn2531]

For the 3 Way series… easy… Black, White, and/or Yellow. Those are the 3 colors I feel most painters (especially new painter) struggle with.

[@ArtisOpus]

We have all of these ;) Black: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipe1lZ-Md76Cac0 White: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TEoHemlpigbZY Yellow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Kbq3WmeN9rq7c

Thank you the videos always help. I liked the shade robe the most. I would love to see a bronze or purple video next. Have a great day.

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers dude! That's the 3rd time purple has been asked for, so it's obviously on a lot of people's minds.

Thanks for this video. I would like to see for 3 ways for blue skin.

Tzeentch? :) You're welcome, buddy!

About to paint a sanguinary priest, THANK YOU!!

[@ArtisOpus]

My pleasure, Dan, happy-hobbying!

[@TheDansonT]

The only thing is that I painted it in Mephiston Red from the spray can so it doesn’t meet your base coats

[@rtl6832]

Obsessed with drybrushing 😅

[@_iJamo]

Would like to see a 3 way of eldar paint schemes. Similar to how you done Kruelboyz :D

[@ArtisOpus]

Mhhhmm, now for the contentious bit... which 3 schemes? I guess we could put it to public vote, that would be quite cool.

[@_iJamo]

@@ArtisOpus Im undecided on what scheme so would defo be up for a vote

[@Hikers42]

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I would love to see some videos on doing metal 'filters'. Ie green or red metal. Im guessing we can just use a wash over a nice metal/silver. But would to see how you do go t.

[@ArtisOpus]

I think perhaps producing a metallic 'bible' video would be a good idea, go over the fundamentals, and then show what it is like with various filters/approaches over the top

[@mattlee8345]

I’d like to see 3 ways to paint bone, horns, and carapace

[@ArtisOpus]

Bone exists! Check our library :)

[@TetsugakuSan]

3 ways to use natural techniques like dry brushing etc to create a sense of scale in 6/8mm sized models ;)

[@ArtisOpus]

Oh man, you're trying to punish me! I do like tiny minis though, as long as it is drybrushing!

[@kuchenm4nn680]

Hey I always struggle with the yellow. So a 3 ways on yellow armour or power weapons be interesting 🤔

Hi, I suggest painting Mandalorian Beskar. Anyway thank you for your work

[@ArtisOpus]

Any excuse for SWL models is a good one! 🥰

[@georgeapg1]

I'd love to see three ways to paint Pus. It would make me happier than a Nurgling

[@ArtisOpus]

Haaa, well, I'm about to do some Nurgle myself! I will practise :)

[@rockstrongo831]

I would love to see blue skin with purple shade for female demons. I need some inspiration for my figure which waits such a long time for doing it. Btw the leather looking cloak looks great. Is the satin coming only from the use of lamian medium or will other mediums will work too?

[@jamesmowatt6736]

Any chance of you ever doing one of these for cream robes? I’ve got a bunch of Dark Angels to paint and can’t decide on a recipe.

[@ArtisOpus]

We could definitely do this in the future :)

[@Munnzie2007]

3 ways of doing dragon/reptile type skin would be great. I am currently painting a huge dragon and the base, wash and drybrush method seems too flat for the size.

[@b100draven]

I've just used metallic paints for the first time and there are loads of videos on NMM yet there isn't any that show you how to use metallic paints correctly and how to wash them to get contrast and make them dirty and anything else to add some depth.

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, we have loads! Check out our back catalogue. However I do think we are going to be doing a bronze silver gold 3 ways in the future

[@phione2014]

I would like to see 3 ways to do cream armor, I am starting a deathwing army soon and want to see how you would do it.

[@ArtisOpus]

Not a bad idea at all! Deathwing, Clean Warm Ceramic + Clean Cool Cream?

[@phione2014]

Yeah! Deathwing also has cream cloth for the characters, you could do a painting cream armor 9 ways video haha

[@Pantora1]

New to painting and I am wondering why you didn't use the contrast medium but instead chose lahmian medium ? Also I had issues getting contrast drying blotchy do you recommend using bigger size brushes? I currently have a set of your 000-2 S brushes.

[@chazwiseman5326]

I'd love a three ways yo do video about all the nurgle slimey disgusting bits, tentacles, guts, boils, etc

Very interesting, never had this asked before, but I think it would definitely help a lot of people!

3 Ways of Orruk Skin, 3 ways to do black fabric, or 3 ways to do space marine armor

3 ways of painting cristals/gems would be a quite nice.

Fantastic suggestion, I am sure a lot of people would find this useful

[@grantklover3301]

Can you guys do a three ways on color matching. Like red and green as an example

[@ArtisOpus]

colour matching: 'classic combos?'

[@grantklover3301]

@@ArtisOpus yeah that would be cool! Or even classic combo, one stage removed and an "outthere" combo.

@@grantklover3301 Got you, this is a cool idea, there are definitely some that people know about and use often, and others that barely get touched, and are way more forgiving than people think
