How to Paint: A Troll

[@du1987de]

Yes! I had that exact troll model in my collection along with two others. Man now I'm even more disappointed that they are gone. Those old sculpts had such great personality to them I think, and a really good paint job as always.

[@MiniQuest64]

I hoped so to be honest :D Wanted to make a video with one of the miniatures you mentioned last time, as a little thank you =)

[@snubbull7309]

I have I think 6 or 7 of these with all the different poses and I still want more, too bad they're really expensive now. It's a strange obsession my friends agree, but the old metal Stone Trolls just have SO much character and embody that old fantasy aesthetic/vibe perfectly

Thank you for this. Very helpful 😊

Wie immer macht es mir Spaß und ist eine Augenweide, dir beim malen zuzuschauen. Weiter so mein Lieber.

[@MiniQuest64]

Hallo Frank, ich danke dir für die netten Worte :) Schön, dass du wieder mit dabei warst!

[@deutzgabifrank5815]

Auch im KH lass ich es mir nicht nehmen, dabei zu sein. Ich genieße deine Videos und die Art zu malen. Hab ja nix mit den Augen.

[@MiniQuest64]

Oh mann, ich hoffe mal, dass es dir gut geht?! Wann darfst du wieder heim?

[@dariostabletopminatures]

The Old Models are so Charming!

[@MiniQuest64]

Agree! So much Character =)

Juhu Siggi. Erstmal ein richtig geiles Blau und die Farbübergänge sind echt gut gemacht. 👍

[@MiniQuest64]

Danke mein Lieber! Wenn so etwas von dir kommt hat das natürlich Gewicht für mich =)

Wiping a drybrush on that MDF instead of paper towel is genius! No more tiny paper towel cling-ons for me! I really like what you did here Sergei, and the wet blending example on the stomach was top notch. Great finished product. Keep em coming!

[@MiniQuest64]

Man you always leave so nice and encouraging comments, I'm absolutely flattered! Thank you very much!

[@OriginPainting]

Great looking troll, especially the hide.

[@MiniQuest64]

Thanks man! It took the most of my time but it was worth it =)

[@kaikuklik9748]

Really cool looking Troll 😁 Superb paintjob 👍🏻

[@MiniQuest64]

Thanks for the visit my friend =) (I love these old sculpts sooo much)

[@gabrielegotter8113]

Putzige ,kleine Dinger diese Trolle. Ich habe und liebe sie auch. Der Charme der alten Minis ist ungebrochen. Dein Video dazu ist wie immer interessant und gut erklärt. Man hat viel Freude dir zuzuschauen. Animiert zum malen.

[@MiniQuest64]

Danke für deine netten Worte Gabi! Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt und du es dir angeschaut hast =)

[@gabrielegotter8113]

Weil man immer wieder was lernen kann,man wird halt nicht dümmer.

[@davidvisser4446]

Thanks for this awesome video! Good inspiration for my own trolls.

[@MiniQuest64]

Glad you enjoyed it! Are you going to paint some Fantasy ones?

[@davidvisser4446]

I love that guy ^^

[@steves9305]

This video is too fast man... you can show the various steps a bit longer...

[@MiniQuest64]

Hey @Steve S, which part of the video was too fast in your opinion? Did you have difficulties following a certain step?

[@steves9305]

@@MiniQuest64 You are showing the steps (in general) for a very short time. I couldn’t even pick up the areas on the model what I need to paint. Your painting job is spot on, but it’s a bit hard (at least to me) to follow your work.

[@MiniQuest64]

@Steve S, thank you for your constructive criticism! I guess if you try to paint a model in real time with a video, that's pretty much impossible to do. When I watch painting tutorials, I watch a scene a a couple of times until I finally try it myself, as soon as I have a problem, I rewatch that part. I tried to create a video that complements that watching-behavior, giving a "manual" good and long enough for the viewer to tackle the problem by himself and improve through overcoming that.
