How to Paint the Crimson Crocodile from Kingdom Death: Monster

[@travisskane5459]

Always enjoy the narration of the "mistakes" like missing a detail and having to complete it later, it shows even the Pros don't paint perfectly start to finish. Great work as always!

[@Sorastro]

For sure! Thanks so much 😁

[@noneofyourbusiness1879]

I hate Star Wars but I watch your content because you are one of the most talented artists on KZbin. When I see a new Kingdom Death video I am like an excited school girl. Please keep them coming and I think I speak for everyone when I say that a full Gambler’s Chest series would be greatest thing to come to the internet. ❤

[@Sorastro]

I really appreciate that - thank you! :)

[@KostikSaint]

Yes more KDM

[@Valkyrie_3d]

​@Sorastro smog singers please!

[@Devil2theDriver]

I remember when I started painting mini's with your Zombicide Black Plague Tutorials... and till now I still enjoy your videos and learn from them. I hope for more KDM videos. Would love to see your approach on the Dung Beetle Knight

[@Sorastro]

Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate that 😀

[@Oelrich69]

YES YES YES! So glad for more KDM content. Thank you Sorastro! I am slowly still working my way through trying to follow your base game videos in painting mine, hoping for more GC so I can keep going into Gamblers chest "Sorastro style". (Also your KDM series is just my favourite)

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😀

[@Olvenskol]

Great to see classical painting techniques and not just contrast paints. Keep it up, I learn so much from you!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@thundalust7889]

Always in awe of the levels of effort and technique that go into your videos. The artistry in the paint job and music is something to aspire to. Thank you!

[@Sorastro]

That's very kind - thank you so much! 😀

FINALLY!! A new kingdom death monsters painting series :D I Missed these

[@Sorastro]

Hurrah! 😁

[@PACEUK22]

OMG! The mighty Sorastro is painting The Gamblers Chest! That’s a lantern ten crit roll right there!

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha, thanks 😄

[@Magicwillnz]

You are so relaxing. I sometimes fall asleep to your videos. I have chronic insomnia so that's a good thing.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'm genuinely happy to hear the videos are helpful to you that way 🙂

[@matarmstrong5737]

I also found the base pretty inspiring. I'd love to do more with basing and maybe kd models will be a good excuse as there's nowhere near as many as say, something like a warhammer army.

[@Sorastro]

Absolutely! 😀

[@Sorastro]

Thank you, sir! Go for it! Just don't shake the bottle.. 😁

[@Alex90680]

Always in awe of your skills in painting and I’m always at the feet of a master. Have you thought about teaching how to paint certain things armor, gemstones etc versus just specific minis?

[@lord1napalm]

Great, loving the base !

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it 😀

[@wizewizard1840]

Hey Sorastro, nice to see that you give KD:M some more love in your painting series. :) Can you already say what the next KD:M mini will be painted by you next? I'm really hoping to see Lion God and Spidicules done by you at some point. They are such great minis and you are by far the best one who paints KD:M.

[@Sorastro]

That's very kind, thank you! For now I'm going to work through the remaining Gambler's Chest monsters, so will cover the Smog Singers next.. 😀

[@alexedev]

amazing tutorial. As a beginner painter, as a first step I tend to use very thick paints when adding base colors - thus removing the zenitals completely. Will go with your thin layering approach from now on

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you found the video useful 😀

Yay more KDM ! Have you ever considered using oils in your paintings ? I'd be interested to see what you can pull off with it.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I've only briefly dabbled with oils tbh, but it's an area I'd like to explore more 😀

[@Animexxkyubii]

[@joerie.houthuijsen]

Wonderful project 🫶🏻 May I ask you, have you also used the inktense inks from scale? And can you tell me what is the difference between the inktense and artist inks from scale75?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! I've not yet fully explored the artist inks to be honest, but those that I have tried seem a little more matte? I also LOVE the artist's White Ink for zenithal highlights.. :)

[@davidsimpson4046]

Looks great!! Please can you get to the watcher… it’s the only model from the core game you missed…

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot, David! I actually started the Watcher last year, but wasn't happy with how it was going. I'll return to make some changes though.. 😀

[@herrmoriden9989]

Hello @Sorastro's Painting. I have a questions: How do you make it to keep the paint at the tip of your brush wet? Whenever I use a thin brush the paint at the tip is immediately dry before even touching the miniature. Awesome work as always ❤

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much! I think using a brush that isn't too tiny helps. And I also like to add a little flow enhancer to the water that I thin with, which might also help 😀

Finally.

You sound unhappy about the timing of the release of this video..?

Hi Mark, did you complete this project in one sitting or over several days?
