That orange is KILLER for volkite. Awesome video as always, Henry.

[@Sigh_Bold]

Yes finally an OSL that makes the whole technique seem attainable. This is something I have tried a few times and it never quite turns out but I'm excited to try these tips.

[@Grimdark_Mark]

well thought out and easy to follow, thanks Henry.

[@LukeMartinVideo]

Amazing result ! ❤

[@manapause]

Would like to see you paint a black vehicle in your style. Maybe a tank or dreadnought for the Black Templars army project.

Just bought a pot of Tesseract Glow yesterday, its still a Technical, the label is in white now.

The use of contrast paint here to achieve the effect is really interesting. I'm really surprised how well you can paint with contrast over straight black. I think the thing that's really missing from the video, which I see many people struggling with concerning OSL, is a bit hidden by working over black, though. Many people will paint a mini first and then try to add an OSL effect later. Those people will not work over black, and that often means that the "light" color they are adding actually makes that area darker than before. To make a thing like this work you have to plan ahead a bit before you start painting and leave the areas that will be lit by the OSL dark enough. You mention at the end that people should not worry too much about light theory and so on. But not thinking about it at all will lead to results that don't work as well as what you're showing here, even if they follow what you did exactly on their mini.

[@cultofpaint]

@@timooster280 what I've shown here really will work just fine over other colours. I've done exactly this on multiple painted minis. It's not perfect, but it's not meant to be. It's a start.

[@cultofpaint]

@@timooster280 I appreciate you taking the time to comment so thoroughly though. Thankyou.

[@GoranMucic]

Why not use a white oil paint wash?

[@cultofpaint]

@@GoranMucic acrylic dries quicker. but you absolutely could as it has many of the properties we're after.

[@phoenixxgreyhound]

Hey Henry, I have a little question about my tremor. Can you give me some advice on how to paint with my tremor.

[@Sigh_Bold]

I have heard using rubber bands can help as it steadies the unwanted movements by restricting you. Something like having a band around your wrist and connecting it to the brush handle but I don't have experience using that myself.

[@Sigh_Bold]

Black magaic has a video here going over painting with tremors if that's helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqrLdZuHj6mfhM0feature=shared

[@JWbrasser]

I know jeremy from black magic craft has something in that area and has done a video on it...

[@Sigh_Bold]

@@JWbrasser I tried posting the link to that video but pretty sure it won't work in the comments. It's easy to find if you just search up Black magic and shakes

[@cultofpaint]

@@JWbrasser this was what I was going to suggest. Points of contact help steady yourself when painting, but I don't have much experience of dealing with this challenge. A very good mate does though, I will ask him.

[@Sakurajima616]

Can someone tell me what puttie this is where the Plasma Rifle is sticking in?
