Let's Paint Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars: Shatterpoint!

[@travisskane5459]

I've learned that these "simple" color schemes can be some of the toughest to take to "tabletop-plus", and here you are making it look effortless as usual. Fantastic work 👍

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode 🤗

[@plumplume2229]

Beyond amazing, as per! Thrawn’s blue skin and red eyes has always disturbed me way more than it should 😂

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha, thank you my friend! 😄

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Astounding brush control and color theory as always! Your work on the uniform gave me ideas as to how I can shade & highlight white in the future, which I can always use ideas in that realm. Well done, sir!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you for the kind feedback my friend! 🤗

[@benoitnicosia9001]

Saw this pop up in my notifications and legit went "OH!" Always a joy watching your videos man

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! Thank you so much, buddy 😁

[@elwood802]

Yay! More Shatterpoint content. Beautiful work, as always!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@SarhcBannitoot]

Oh god I really hope this leads to you getting a ProAcryl signature series. The paints you would come up with would be so good!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you 😁

My hero!

Too kind 😊

[@derekcutsinger3511]

I really love your videos, especially since there is no fluff! No silly skits, sponsorship monologues, or gimmicky gobledegook - just straight-up painting.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much - I truly appreciate that (I just try to create the kind of videos that I myself might enjoy) 😁

Pro Acryl are the paints I use now. Would be interested in how you feel about them after using scale 75 for so many years. I personally find them way easier to work with!

[@Sorastro]

Good question! I have some mixed feelings on them to be honest, but I am growing very fond of their gray tones for rendering white. Perhaps I'll make a video just about what paints I like and why.. 😀

[@mattcurr9931]

@@Sorastro please do make that video. PA are my main range now and I too have mixed feelings, they dry dark, the browns have some serious desaturation issues when mixing, etc. But they're beautiful to work with and their limitations i work around.

"To paint minis believably, one must study all fascists of art and culture. From the brush strokes used in a time of turbulent history can give you all the information about the enemy and to use it to your advantage. Art mirrors the soul, from which tactics arise. One can see in artwork the strengths and weaknesses of those who created it."

[@Quick-Silver206]

I always love seeing your videos dude! Thank you! Also how do you feel about ProAcryl vs ScaleColor?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much! I'm actually going to produce a video talking about the different paint brands soon.. 😀

[@dhxmg]

I'm also very curious how you feel about the pro acryl paints, I've been eyeing them for a couple weeks now.

[@Sorastro]

Overall, I like them! But I'd have to make a dedicated video to really go into it, because I like some colours more than others.. 😀

[@davidhyde8911]

I'm always flawed and envious of the way you seem to get immaculate flow from your brush and amazing coverage. Do you use some kind of medium or flow improver with your paints? I always find that I cant get a fluid enough flow or that I thin my paints too much and then need extra layers.

[@Sorastro]

Hi David! I do often like to include a few drops of flow enhancer in the water that I thin the paint with, yes (I use the Daler Rowney stuff). 😀

[@davidhyde8911]

@@Sorastro so you mix it into the water first, then thin the paints? Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

[@Sorastro]

@@davidhyde8911 Yessir! I have some water in a nearby palette well, then use a pipette to add a few drops of the flow enhancer 😀
