Maaan getting that much done in that time is pretty awesome

Cheers dude, I was a little slower than I thought, but still came in under the 90mins without it being too tricky, camera really doesn't help! :D I can't say the same for the details though, genuinely found it really stressy, ha!

[@MasterAlbi1]

Here from KiriothTV, I’m new to the hobby and seeing stuff like this shows me how far there is to go, hope to get to this level one day!

[@ArtisOpus]

You'd be surprised, dude, it's all about process, if you learn a few rules and stick to them and adapt as you go, you can improve incredibly fast.

[@vajnarrichard]

I came from Kirioth's recommendation, strangely I never knew there was an Artis Opus channel before his vid. But I am happy to have found you guys, there seems to be plenty of great content here, I absolutely loved this tutorial(?) even tho I don't use or like using drybrushing a whole lot. This however is on a whole new level, great work ! Excited to watch more of your stuff !

[@vajnarrichard]

@@nicolasbrun9795I don't really stick to one brand, but Rosemary and Co brushes are excellent .

That looks amazing! The best part is that you can still add details to stuff like the horns, eyes, guts and all that and make it look even more complex. Fantastic job

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much dude!

[@Phil-pu9iy]

This looks insanely good, the smooth blends are insane and it looks really easy. But I reckon it works mostly with these textures models. I wouldn't know how to go about a tiny stormcast trooper. Or anything with a smooth surface.

Artis Opus: Me: Looks at Army Painter Regiment brush and gently weeps.

[@KrisTomich]

Just order a few makeup brushes. Sure, AO are probably made better. But they're essentially makeup brushes.

[@Siege181]

To be honest mate, I started using the AO dampening pad with makeup brushes a few months ago. The dampening pad helps to keep moisture at just the right consistency. I then indulged myself to a set of the series D recently and haven’t looked back! You get so much more control and consistency with the AO brushes, they are DEFINITELY worth the investment! Just make sure you follow the cleaning instructions and they will last far longer than any makeup brush. Plus it means no more pretending the Primark makeup brushes are for my wife.... :D

[@S2uBuGaming]

@@KrisTomich No probably about it, the materials, construction and shape are all better suited to model painting than a make up brush, That's why they took so long to develop

[@greigpil9835]

@@Siege181 I fully intend to pick up the small D and dampening pad for my marines, and get other sizes as needed when I get some vehicles. I have the master's brush cleaner and conditioner already for my army painter brushes, which has kept them in great nick. Is the Artis Opus cleaner any different?

[@Siege181]

Greig Pil to be honest I only use the AO cleaner for my series D’s as you leave the cleaner in overnight then “flick” it out gently next morning. If you are investing in any of the AO series Ds I’d recommend the AO cleaner just to make sure you keep it in optimum condition! Oh and I would SERIOUSLY advise getting at least the small texture pallet, really helps with the control of the paint of the brushes!

[@merlyn921]

I followed Kirioth's link, and super glad I did - great video and clear explanations throughout.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much Joe, you're welcome, dude :)

Simply beautiful. It was great to watch the paint scheme come to live stage by stage seeing those different colours getting applied and watching the model change entirely in a just a few minutes.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thank you very much!

[@wolfbytes8787]

i never liked this model cause of all its horrible fat rolls and cuts but after seeing you paint i wanna get it XD , amazing job tho ,i never really though about using different colours for shading its always been black or dark whatever never oh ill go down from green to blue its cool and gives a great effect , well i mean i did with your other paint schemes the devil fish and imperial fist were the main eye openers and this just makes me rethink all and future paint scheme endeavours

[@ArtisOpus]

Oh man, kind words! If there's a big takeaway from my recent years of not painting as much, but thinking about painting more it's than there's actually no rules for anything, and there's an example for everything! Even if you want to look at a bunch of amazing colourful flowers and do your GUO in those it'll probably look amazing done right, there's so many examples of 'crazy' schemes in nature that you could apply to mini painting - I think this guy would look amazing going from purple to yellow personally! Genuinely - google 'colourful flowers' and 'colourful frogs' and your mind will start exploding with possibilities :D

[@wannabewargamers1684]

Really striking result, loved the choice of colours

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers dude! They're firm favourites of ours :)

[@Jalin3516]

That is insane! Getting that effect with dry brushing only. Skills.

[@simonleach6632]

That result is hard to argue with for 90minutes work, looks really impressive, for the weapons my first instinct would be to properly rust them all over, I'd probably just run a pencil round the edges of the blade for the metallic effect and coat the rest with a rust finish for guaranteed tetanus, but having seen the flesh, I don't know if that would mesh well with the rest of the model

[@ArtisOpus]

I've never tried pencils in that way, it's popular in military modelling and can be used with great effect! You'll get to see very soon where I went with things - check out our last community post, too, I don't think you'll be disappointed! :)

[@ryanc1451]

orange goes well with green. ergo, rusty blade would offset and complement the body nicely.

[@phantomemperor9737]

Kiri send me over to this video. Hadn´t had the chance to watch it previously yet, but your tutorials have been so educational and interesting. Drybrushing hasn´t really been too much involved with my painting, but watching you do it... Mesmerising. Would love to have the chance to try your brushes sooner or later, maybe learn them together with my fiancee, who I´ve managed to talk into playing 40k with me once we get her atleast a combat patrol worth of Slaanesh Daemons painted. So yeah, definetly more tutorials for daemons. Would love her to get more into painting as layering and traditional edge highlights have put her off of painting, but learning to do it your way might just be the answer for some great hobbytime as a couple in the future! Cheers for the great work, keep at it!

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey bud! I think it may well be helpful for her, especially with tutorials it's a bit more organic than layering, I've found that girls actually pic it up faster than guys, concepts of blending are way less alien if you've applied any type of makeup etc.

[@mzlm1468]
