incredibly normal mini painting video

[@felipehonoriobs]

make it a series. "Just painting a mini". These Bob Ross calm walkthroughs of the process are actually interesting and can even help some people that are struggling with similar problems in their own projects.

[@Fragariaa1]

That is great idea!

[@mikemcphil]

Yes!

[@mortonweber]

Absolutely agree!

[@ericstephenson6190]

YES! please thank you

[@willmendoza8498]

I support this plan

[@edwardwhite1652]

Following all the big minipainting youtubers, I've noticed lately a distinct lack of videos of painters just painting! Thank you.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Exactly.. you learn nothing. It’s about how big a terrain they can make, how many products donated and etc. I’m going back to print as I find it much more informative with detailed photos and instructions.. YT is ruining more than just the hobby.. go pick up some modeling books as they’ve become cheaper and not “but wait, there’s more” type nonsense.

[@darigandevil]

Also feeling this. And enjoyed this more than most videos lately. Would love to see more this style!

[@neilcressey8189]

Completely agree. I really enjoyed this video. Gave me some great ideas and the final result was brilliant. And I just enjoyed watching the process. 👍

[@DanielJohnson120]

There's too many people trying to become a youtube personality under the guise of "chasing the algorithm" in the niche at the moment. I'm glad to see Scott take a small break from teh rat race and just paint something.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

@@DanielJohnson120 perfectly stated. YT is getting so annoying to watch due to that fact. This was a nice change of pace.

[@klaasvaak4803]

Gotta say I already love the idea of just a regular old mini painting video

[@adamhummel4454]

Absolutely love this! I watch because I love painting and want to see people enjoy themselves painting, not because I want to "learn to paint like a GOD in under 11 MINUTES!!!" More content like this would make me a happy viewer!

[@danielchisholm1518]

This might be due to the knowledge base I have from your other videos but I feel like this was in some way, a good refresher. It was a "here's the techniques I used, this is what it looks like at the start, middle, and end." A no fuss review of the results various techniques can give, essentially.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

When you got to the sponsor segment, I was expecting to have to skip some scripted mobile game ad. But I stayed all the way through it because (just like the video at large) you just talked to us about something cool you've been working with lately, and showed us some incredible stuff in an interesting but chill way.

[@angelsoffurtitude]

Honestly, just watching you paint for the sake of painting, is still a valueable way for me to learn

[@trovarion]

It's kinda fun you made that observations of busts often being just character studies, without too much unnecessary klimbim. It's exactly why I love painting (most of) them. And also why sculpting them is often more fun than minis.

[@sdoundakov]

Yes!! More of this, please! I love watching people paint in this edited video style. Don't discover the cure for cancer, just show us what you painted and edit it so that it's not 10 hour long. Maybe you can make it as some sort of series, whenever you paint something you like, you show us how you did it.

[@JarradJL10]

More of this! Not every video needs to be something gimmicky (like so many big creators I’m seeing lately), there’s a real therapeutic aspect to just watching a master at his craft paint something.

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

intro : basically , every youtuber : LOOK AT ME. Miniac : look at my dirty pikachu cup

[@stephenmercerProductions]

I'd happily watch more of these! A series of - this is how i painted this model - is perfect for me. No need for gimmicks.

[@rogthepirate4593]

I actually really like this style of video. There's no need for some grand revelation in every single one. Just watching you do the thing is enough, it needs no excuses, I think.

[@TeaIngyer]

Honestly I think the simplicity of this video idea and project made it more enjoyable than your recent average. Hooked me from start to end, just getting to watch you take a really cool sculpt, and give it a nice, character filled paint job. Interesting and punchy video concepts are cool, but there's something relaxing about a video where it's just someone hobbying. I think my favorite part was the fact you chose a sculpt that's incredibly detailed, and has an awesome concept / visual storytelling, but isn't cluttered visually. GW models are cool, but as you point out they're often cluttered. With this bust every single element is very carefully chosen to give it character, but there's no 'junk', nothing that's just there to look cool with no function. I'd love to see you paint more models like this, or your custom Vampire mini that you commissioned, in this more relaxed style of video. Peaceful hobby vibes 10/10 Paintjob 10/10 Model choice 10/10 I hope you make more content like this in future.

[@kookieslayer]

Love those kinds of "explaining my tought process while painting" videos! Very nice work on that bust.

[@miguipingui]

Miniac this type of videos are so relaxing and they've helped me going through so much stress... Thank you from Spain

[@Sephyricon]

Yes. I wouldn't mind videos of him painting in silence, just painting, maybe a comment here and there, but focus on just the painting.

[@thehat4244]

Bob Ross of minis style videos would be fantastic

[@Frostyeel]

That way of showing the paints used and mixing ratios by annotating your wet palette is sexy AF. Also loved the high quality animation to demonstrate the eyeball reflection. Even when it's not the big point of the video, useful visual presentation of ideas is still super helpful

[@BarokaiRein]

You know out of all the miniature youtubers I follow I think that Pete the wargamer is the only one who straight up just makes videos of him hobbying,everyone else I follow either tries to come up with something new every time or makes tutorials for specific things.

[@KabinMiniatures]

2:38 I really agree with this point. I think that's why I sometimes enjoy painting older models from the 80s, 90s or early 2000s, more than modern sculpts. While the modern ones look impressive when done, they tend to be a bit of an uphill struggle to complete sometimes due to their abundance of details.

[@nofoxtugiv]

Getting out of one's comfort zone is important to growth, but I think it's also important to remember to kick back and just enjoy the process at the level you're at, wherever that is at the moment. Growth is great, and something we all strive for, but it's so important to remember to just relax and feed our passion a bit without putting additional pressure on ourselves. Would love to see more of these as you walk through your process without trying to blow our minds *every* time. Cheers from a newbie inspired by your work!

[@captainredmaw]

As an avid sea of thieves enjoyer, I love the giant tentacle the chef has. Looks like he's gonna cook up some kraken

[@Spaniard727]

I feel the theme of this video deeply. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. I’m ok with you just making a video of you painting a mini and telling us about your experience painting it! Also hey another bust! Love it

[@juliehamel8330]

You had me hypnotized, this video is exactly what I wanted. The sculpt is exciting, your painting made it shine. All in all, a great video.

[@notmyname8865]

A return to form. Great job. Skin tone is superb. Blending is top notch. Overall impressive. This is you firing on all cylinders and driving in the lane you have not only paved but have mastered driving on. You should take pride in this. It is an inspiration to painters like me. No dead/poisoned weird “artistic choices” abstract skin tones this time.

[@ltjosh9584]

Just painting, this kind of video is nice and not commonplace enough in this community. Bravo, Scott!

[@advcat]

It is so very nice to see a mini painting video that wasn’t a tutorial, sometimes I just like chillin and putting a Miniac video in the background while I paint.

[@johnchavarria8813]

I wish there were more "incredibly normal videos" on KZbin. Thanks Scott!

[@MaeseTrancos]

Man, with each vid the level of editing is getting Crisposaurus Rex

[@Miniac]

new favorite term

[@choiceminis]

Hurray normal painting videos! Hurray kickstarter! Hurray Scott!! Also, I love the overlay paint names. A weird suggestion as I am on phone and they are relatively tiny but use the color as the background of the bubbles and then the text in a high visibility contrast. My 2 cents. Awesome video my dude.

[@Scherdnr]

Thanks for making a simple, beautiful video without all the bells and whistles.

[@pianospawn1]

Bob Ross had a crazy amount of episodes. He just painted, no gimmicks, no clickbait, just painting and being himself. Everyone loves Bob Ross for that very reason.

[@andreaguerra5460]

More normal mini painting videos please, this is great

[@trzynasty909]

You really captured what we all were looking for, Scott. Lately so many painting channels went for 'BIGGEST MODEL IN WARHAMMER?!?!!!1' or any other iteration of 'GOD PAINTING IN 10S!' A reminder that, hey, it's a hobby about painting anything for the enjoyment of the process and the finished piece is a nice thing.

[@TheMiniJunkie]

The guts it takes to pull out the airbrush and spray near that completed face! Beautiful work on a very cool miniature.

[@joshpickering5039]

Awesome video mate.. I honestly don’t feel like you need an “Angle” when making a video.. it was good to just watch/listen along to what someone else was doing and their thought processes whilst I was hobbying myself. Definitely picked up a few tricks that I’ll implement in my own models and despite the model subject being something I personally don’t have any draw towards, I still found the video thoroughly engaging. Glad to see you’re back to the weekly vids mate 👌🏼

[@astrozombiac3535]

More busts! Damn man, watching you work is an absolute joy. I really enjoy just watching artists do their thing without some kind of lesson or message being conveyed. Perfect chill thing to watch before work, thank you.

[@mariov962]

Scott -One of your best gigs thus far (IMO)! Great vision and even better execution.

[@ValiantPioneer]

Oooh those color/ratio overlays look so crisp! This was a really nice, normal mini painting video!

[@MDL-780]

This video was pure cinematic beauty. I especially enjoyed the split screens, the paint ratio pop ups, the beautifully painted miniature and the dulcet tone of your voice.

[@LinkTheBear]

Seriously some of the best videos I have seen, not just painting videos. Thank you so much for insight and perspective it's really refreshing.

[@willschuur7426]

this is probably the first mini painting video in a while that I'll come back to - leaving feeling inspired to get a palette cleanser display model of my own and just go for it. Thanks for this return to no-hooks painting content!

[@samhoban2509]

No profound angle required. Man I love watching you paint. It’s why I subbed in the beginning. Thanks for this, Scott

[@djvertical]

The vibe I generally get from YT hobby channels that paint 40k stuff, is it’s a grind. Takes ages to prep a bunch of models, prime, paint, weather, base it, then do it again with the next bunch of models in a conveyer belt style fashion. Didn’t get that from this one. You can tell you actually had fun and enjoyed it. Also, really refreshing to watch someone paint something that’s not grim dark with oil paints too! 😆

[@legionnaireminis]

Hope this video does just as well as your others. Really enjoy this sort of thing. You'd be surprised how informative it still is just to see your process start to finish

[@cervelliera]

At 4:03 you got me. With such non chalance... such a smooth transition

[@negotiableaffections]

Very nice work, Scott. The 'kick-back and enjoy' vibe really shows in that tentacle, an inspired piece of painting. A bit like watching a snooker player when the pressure is off. "...And by the way Capn' the pressure cooker canna handle it - she's gonna blow!"

[@gregbrown3278]

Please do more of these videos man. I like your newer stuff but this takes it back to what the channel is about for me. You can see the enjoyment in what you are doing. Great job buddy

[@acorjadaadegafantasma6309]

As a chef who works a lot and use painting as a hobby, this video made me feel good. Very nice work mr Miniac.

[@2MeatyOwlLegs]

just watching you paint is my favourite content to be honest. I love your other stuff don't get me wrong but what motivates me most to paint myself is seeing others way better at painting paint. It just makes me want to get better.

[@mudawott]

not gonna lie, this is quite nice to watch. It's really nice seeing people just paint with some nice editing, a couple of jokes, and some good tips just to show how to paint. I like this

[@drewmilliken4850]

This may be my favourite video you’ve made. More painting just to paint please and thank you

[@SolGladio]

I hope you enjoy making this style of video, because I want to see more of it. Not necessarily from a tutorial standpoint, but more for a just relaxing easy-to-watch experience. Bob Ross type of vibe.

[@guiguixy6866]

Weirdly enough, this video is quite refreshing from heavily montaged videos with a lot of effects. Just a nice bust, beeing treated rightfully by a good painter. Thanks Scott !

[@khanoclast]

When I drill holes for mounting or pinning, I drill the hole bigger than the thing going into it. This gives me some wiggle room if I don't get the hole in the right place. I fill the gap with epoxy putty or CA glue. This also lets me square up the figure on the plinth if necessary, and I can clean it up when I paint the plinth.

[@Miniac]

That's a great idea!!

[@charlesballard5251]

I love your painting vids on so many levels, for so many reasons. Not the least of which is the level of instruction and the relaxing Bob Ross aspect. "Happy little blood drops... dripping down...".

[@SmallSoldier]

That was refreshing and very "sponge-worthy" as well! 🤘🤘😀

[@FaultyOptics]

Oh my lawd the way you showed the paints and ratios on the palette was just *cheffs kiss*. I would watch a whole series of these for sure - all the little details and shots are so relaxing. It's like you managed to distill the enjoyment (and some of the frustrations) of painting a mini into one, neat little vid. Cheers!

[@Auridus]

I did not expect to come home to a Miniac video, but I needed it. Thanks, Scott.

[@quimerawesterburger1867]

Love the video of just simply painting. Very pleased that you quickly showed the names of the paints on the pallete how they are mixed. Keep that!

[@9thDrunkenGod]

Love a simple straightforward video on painting a miniature.

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

Very cool mini! Great work! Appreciate the hobby-focused approach sans gimmick.

[@byrdonfire9628]

These are the videos I love to watch you put out. I have missed this content from you TBH. I have learned a great deal from watching your painting vids. Love this one! Keep it up!

[@MrSupertrooper1]

Lovely model, calming audio, demonstrated mastery. Great video fam.

[@saltfreegamer]

Skin and eyes look especially good, love the tentacle pattern. Nice work!

[@mightymarcin]

Love this style. Show us cool sculpts with excellent paintjobs

[@gonzalofraguasbringas8617]

I loved just watching you paint a nice model and talk about it. Speed paints are popular and all, but I love just watching you narrate your process. It's beautiful, calming and deeply inspiring

[@n6356583]

That was a great watch. And an incredibly legit paintjob. Your skin tones are perfect.

[@ethanbarrettdebattista5124]

The beauty of the hobby is sharing the experience and seeing peoples muse in action. Love it man *chef's kiss*.

[@OvantheWise]

I wouldn’t mind getting to see more of Scott just painting for the sake of painting.

[@AcrylicJumbo]

I love to watch the adds on your videos, I'm glad that you support smaller and other companies than Raid Shadowlegends lol, It's refreshing to see and smooth to watch

[@tomloveland2245]

Fantastic video Scott. Great blend of information and just the zen of watching you put paint on plastic.

[@brainstorm8778]

This is fucking brilliant. And what really struck me was how good you are. I binge watch your old videos and seeing new paint jobs brings home how much you've improved, it's astonishing and inspiring.

[@Curran_Kleen_Brown]

I love this kind of video. It's neat just to see a painters work flow.

[@gavindavis3640]

This "just painting" video is excellent. I learn so much from you talking through your process, and this experimenting with a non-GW mini is fun. Thanks for this.

[@ThewickedVik]

Yes! More of this! I was actually worried there would be some surprise gimmick, but the beautiful bust in the thumbnail pulled me in :)

[@Azlaak]

Your best videos are always when you’re the most relax and not trying to be stupid or sensationalist with your content!!! Good job! Really liked the video, the mini selection, and the tone of the vid are really entertaining!

[@eastoforion]

loving the split screen multicamera shots, great work :)

[@PunkBellz]

I see that Hare of the Moon box and I'm BEGGING you to do another one of these chill painting videos but with that mini!! It's one of the most simplistically gorgeous miniatures I've seen in forever

[@domagojkrizic9572]

Love this type of a video, exceptionally executed!

[@jeremielemaire1934]

This video was awesome! Watching you just paint is incredibly pleasing.

[@nunyabiznes7446]

Pretty new to miniatures, and this is one of my favorite vids yet. I can honestly say I learned as much or more from this as any of the "sick painting trick hobbyists don't want you to know" videos.

[@BinxyBrown]

This is probably my favorite paint job of the year. It really makes me want that model. Good shit Scott

[@bear0907]

Loved the normal painting video, nice to see standard painting techniques done at a high level. The chef bust is brilliant too! Thank you.

[@larrymanns364]

We can still learn a lot from just watching you work and have you walk us through your steps and processes.

[@ignismare]

I like how you said this isn't something massive or lifechanging, and I've got several tips on almost every material you painted. I guess different levels of skill and all that.

[@pepe-roni1702]

I'd love more of these, also just shows your thought process and methods naturally

[@VASM160689]

That chef looks awesome! :) I especially love the stubble and the sticky thing. Really great details, especially because you added them of your own volition, really enhances the mini.

[@aaronreynolds8587]

Fantastic, Scott. Great palette cleanser for us all and brings us back to the basic joy of painting a model for fun. So well done.

[@Marlerc11]

Been randomly watching your videos here and there over the years. You've improved a lot in your painting and I was really impressed with how you've kept getting better! Cheers

[@mikereckhaus1139]

Don't over-youtbify the content! You and your brush and the relaxed way of explaining the why's and hows is exactly what I want. Btw. the paintjob of the chef is imho the very best you ever did.

[@newagedrama562]

I love the creative freedom this mini has. So many possibilities. Great job as always Scott.

[@snwleo23]

Really needed this video! Been painting commissions for a couple of years now and finally have some respite. Not painting for yourself for so long takes its toll and also takes away the love you once felt for your hobby in regards to it feeling more like a chore. I can't wait to try out some colour schemes and paint minis that have patiently waited for some attention. Thanks Scott this was very refreshing to see, should definitely do more of these videos. The end result looks great!

[@vincentyea3363]

Stunning piece as per usual! Love the details like the stubbles and the texture of the apron. Well Done!

[@Deltrox98]

Incredible paint job Scott. It's nice to have a video where we can see all your skills on display rather than focusing on a specific area

[@seanwmcinnes]

That was so refreshing to watch again. Thank you! Please do more of simply painting a sick mini.

[@nathanielsmith6262]

Gotta admit I'm super happy to say I enjoy your content when your having fun! Like watching you going gaga for AsoIaf just loving the game and model, helps remind me that this hobby is all about fun. It was a pleasure to watch your stream while painting it and I'm glad you loved my idea for the glowing goo! (different twitch name) Look forward to seeing more mini love, your enthusiasm is inspiring!

[@RisingApe]

Great work Scott, love mind work, waiting on my Kickstarter arriving. The Chef looks ace.

[@szendroib]

This is just the kind of video I keep looking for, would love to see much more like these in the future. Unfortunately I've ordered the bust before your video and your coupon code, but it is an awesome bust and worthed the money anyway :D. This style of video is closer to the patreon painting video styles, which is a good thing, we have enough content on youtube about how to paint any board game or army in 1 hour using 2 colors, a hedgehog and a banana, and we really need more video about quality painting instead of quantity.

[@Ulrican414]

All the minipainting channels don't just paint cool minis anymore, it's all about trying to come up with wacky video ideas, this is nice, I think we all would love to see you guys just painting cool models that spark joy.

[@interstellarsynthesis5654]

Really enjoyed this video. Just keep painting and telling what you are doing! Really awesome! Thanks!
