How to paint the Beholder Zombie | Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures/Wizkids | Boxes of Shame

[@marklindsey4112]

Stunning paint job.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Marklindsey4112! Yeah this one came out nice and disgusting! 👍😂

[@gesarts3625]

Once the eyeball was 3/4 done it completely changed the whole paintjob. The paintjob on the body felt almost incomplete until the eye was painted. Amazing job.... this might be my favorite Beholder paintjob yet..... subbed.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much GES Arts! I am happy you like it! Yeah this is one of my favorites from back when! I am not sure because I am at best an intermediate painter but I think I have an eye for disgusting miniatures! 😂👍

[@MasonIce1999]

Fantastic work. You gained another Sub! :) Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly and welcome aboard CMD19! Happy to have you here! 👍😀

[@Peter-ri9ie]

Bloody piece of art! 🤘🏻👊🏻

[@DevsDice]

Thank you very much! Yeah it seems I have a natural gift for painting meaty disgustsing things :D

[@RFDHobby]

Great work on this one Leif. Turned out awesome. Thanks.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks man!

[@johnharvath2522]

😆 Awesome Leif!! At this rate, I'll be fluent in Swedish by the end of the year 👍 YOU'RE THE BEST BROTHER 🤘 Thank you!

[@DevsDice]

No worries man! Hope you liked these two, they were my favorites :D

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Yea hes my favourite, so funny and talented, but still human with it. I never miss a video. Or a Nordic proverb of olde! 😁🤣

[@jakobm3442]

Damn that looks incredible, I love all the blood and muck. Great job!

[@DevsDice]

Oh yeah! It was fun to paint to be honest! Lots of yucky! :D Thanks for the nice comment!

[@TheYjmfan]

I’m just half way into this miniature I’m following your colour scheme not looking too bad so far.

[@DevsDice]

That sounds promising! I hope it turned out looking okay? 👍🙂

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Great job. Looks lovely! 🤣🤣

[@DevsDice]

Thank you very much!

[@quantaple4941]

Fantastic work! This is by quite far my favorite interpretation of this miniature that I've seen online. Extremely satisfied with the results I ended up with, as a complete newbie, by following this video for my own zombie beholder mini. Thank you for the inspiring work!

[@DevsDice]

Wow, thank you so much Quantaple! Happy you like it! 👍😃

[@squigdaddy]

Yup there it is, the blue cupbord. As a sweed i think its my deuty to inform the rest of the world that craping in cupbords regadles of color is fround apon... but if you have to crap in any utilitys or furniture use the kitchensink because "Det löser sig sa han som sket i vasken" a real swedish wisdom roll of 18 if ever there was one.

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! My wife actually introduced me to that saying! :D

[@squigdaddy]

@@DevsDice good on her. My great grandmother my me drop my jaw with it. She was an stern, religious old lady whom ive never heard utter a curseword other then this.

[@DevsDice]

@@squigdaddy Hahahahaha! I can imagine the pure shock when she said that! Then you would run for safety I bet? :D

[@squigdaddy]

@@DevsDice i prepared for the coming of Armagedon. Waiting for some sort of deity coming to smite me becouse that was far more likley to happen the her using a curseword.

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Sound like a mighty woman! :)

[@AvocationNation]

As a learning exercise, I just speed painted one with zenithal undercoat, 2 tones (burnt sienna and diox purple inks), an off white, and a couple of shades. I thought mine looked pretty good... then I see yours, and now think MINE is shit :) GREAT JOB, YOURS LOOKS AMAZING!

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! Thank you so much Shane! I don't think yours look bad, the good thing is that you can always add more paint right? :D

[@ronaldboal7500]

Since this mini is next to be painted, I thought I should watch your video. Amazing job, as always! I have most of those colours, minus the Citadel ones (but, my Army Painter and Vallejo ones should suffice). All the various colour layers, glazing, and highlights really look super gross/awesome. I think I have a few skeletal bits and discarded weapons for the base. I love those extra details. They really set it apart. Thanks again, Leif.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you dear Sir! Yeah it seems like fleshy, rotten minis sits well with me for some reason! :D Very thankful to paint also! Have fun!!! :D

[@ForrTheXP]

Truly a Beholders Lief doesn't end in death! Great job Lief as always!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks man! Yeah this one was fun to paint and to think about how to achieve the glazed over eyes! Thanks for the nice comment as always! :D 🤘

[@ForrTheXP]

@@DevsDice It's always a pleasure to watch you paint my friend! Thank you for the videos you put out! It's almost always an insta-click when I see you post a new one!

[@DevsDice]

@@ForrTheXP That's so nice of you to say man! I just wish more people would see the videos. I am as of now not in the great old KZbin algorithm favor - yet! ;)

[@ForrTheXP]

@@DevsDice haha there should be a D&D Warlock Patron based on the KZbin Algorithm. Algarithmus the Gluttonous One, it only consumes content but never shares.

[@DevsDice]

Haha! I have actually been toying with the idea of starting my own business (for tax reasons) and a Patron to be able to focus more than just my spare time on this but I am not sure there would be enough patrons - yet! We'll see in the future! :D

[@NatesMiniatures]

That turned out very ghoulish I love it :D well done Leif!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Nate! I appreciate you saying so! 😘

[@Tsukuyomiful]

Looks fantastic! Love the vid.

[@DevsDice]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the nice comment! :D

[@richardorta8960]

I look forward to the new channel! will you be doing a video on how you stat monsters and foes not in the manual/lore of the games you use them in?

[@DevsDice]

Yeah the new channel will feature all kinds of those things. Also I am going to talk a bit about game theory and how that can be translated to the table etc.

[@Peter-ri9ie]

@@DevsDice what’s the name of the new channel?

[@SmokeytheBeer]

😍 Amazing, well done!!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Andrew!! 👍😊

[@DiceChatter]

Leif you are giving me ideas. Ideas that my DnD players may not enjoy...

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! Good, gooood, goooood! Muhahahahaha! ;)

[@noahlong1325]

I have been thinking about getting this so this should help me get some inspiration if I get one and I will make sure to go check out the new channel when it comes out.

[@noahlong1325]

Ok I just finished the video and that’s pretty funny

[@DevsDice]

Thank you man! I will post something when it's out! :)

[@LockwoodsWorkshop]

Great video brother!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks man! I was wondering where the heck you were man! :)

[@williamporter7596]

A truly gruesome monster!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly William! 🤘

[@KopczynskisFamilyJourney]

Love your channel. Working on my own boxes of shame ;). Almost finished with Ravenloft. Thanks for the vids and ideas!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me! Yeah we all have our boxes of shame, right? You can do it man! No worries! Thank you for watching! :D

[@BiggestJon89]

Looks amazing! Curious to know what you mean by "glaze" vs "wash"? Specifically, early on when you start applying some red glaze to the skin. I have the citadel washes, and they also make another specific glaze, but it looked like you didn't use either of these? Thanks!

[@DevsDice]

When I speak about "glaze" I essentially mean thinning out your paints, drying out most of the water and then painting. Washes for me can be used as a glaze, they have most of the characteristics but they also flow more and when I glaze I generally want the paint to not "move around". Might have to do a video on this, does it make sense? 😊

[@BiggestJon89]

@@DevsDice That does make sense, thank you! I will definitely have to give that a try on my next model. When I attempted to follow your example of using the red glaze on the body it seemed to look rather odd but that was because I was using a wash, and I'm sure if I used the glaze as you mentioned I would have had different results. Thanks again for your time! But I certainly wouldn't complain about a dedicated up-close video showing the difference between the two techniques 🙂

[@DevsDice]

I will put it on the backlog! It Will come! Thanks for commenting! :)

[@sheepfly]

Looks awesome! The only thing i would change would be the big eye, leaving at two glazes of white, showing a little bit more of black was great. Still looks really disgusting and awesome.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks! Yeah depending on which direction you kind of see it more or less. But yeah tricky thing :D

[@lukaskucerka1570]

Sorry for swearing, but DUDE THAT LOOKS SO FUCKING AMAZING!

[@DevsDice]

😂 that’s all right mate! Thank you so much! 😊

[@danslinn8331]

Superb.

Thank you so much Dan! 👍😃

[@danslinn8331]

@@DevsDice It was just the first word that came to mind.

[@DevsDice]

Hahaha! Well that's awesome man! Thank you so much! 😊

[@sergei-prokofiev]

Heyyy its really cool!!!!! Btw quick tip ( not painting tip haha you are way better at painting haha ) but if you can afford it a 3d is 100% worth it. I just can get all the large miniatures for 1 dollar matarial cost for my 3d printer!!!!! Edit: where did you get those skulls for your base!?

[@DevsDice]

You mean a 3d printer? Yeah I would love getting one! I even have a spot for it ready! :) The skulls were just picked up at my friendly local game store, they are quite common I would say wherever a store sells games workshop things! Thanks for commenting! 🤘

[@nate-orito7990]

I love how you did the beholder’s eyes! Its so awesome

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Nate - orito! Yeah the eyes are really the focus so they demanded some special love! Happy you love it! 🙂👍

[@Kiskispal]

Absolutely bloody disgusting!! :)

[@DevsDice]

Haha! Thank you very much! :D
