Congrats on your bronze my guy !

[@VbitemeV2]

Awesome watching your work and seeing it pay off. Congrats man.

[@acolosetti]

I literally flinched when the Cavalier-Marshal tumbled off the base near the end.

[@billdefranza4927]

Dude, spoiler warning! 😂 J/k

[@printhabits]

Same, I let out an “oooOOH!” And all of my morning coffee is now on the floor. I care more about the model than the spilled coffee 😂

[@joshuagorrell9235]

Same. I reached out a hand like I could stop it.

[@G3arsguy529]

Spoiler my man! This is the first comment everyone sees!

[@MrBigB312]

My heart skipped a beat too 😅

[@bjornironside9471]

CONGRATS ON THE AWARD JON!!!!! Glad to see all the hard work you put into this paid off. Was awesome to get to follow along.

[@ModelworkTrains]

Congratulations on the Bronze win at Golden Demon this weekend! It was great to see your hard work recognized!

[@JohnCharlesBetts]

You got a bronze daemon, that's great news! Congratulations! 😀

[@xEzekielx1]

Congrats on the Podium Jon! Hope you're happy with the result. You should be proud of of all the hard work you put into the piece

[@albinofreak620]

I literally gasped when the dude on the horse fell off the back of the piece. Nice work, dude…. Good luck at GD

[@Verity98765]

Yeah me too lol. A big chip/scratch or a piece of the model snapping and it can be a serious problem when you are trying to make something look perfect. If the banner pole had broken they are near impossible to get back looking flawless.

[@patinapot]

Haha, yeah, same here xD

[@toddbates3441]

Congrats on the Bronze award at the Adepticon Golden Demon! Your entry is amazing!

[@laughingman4570]

I can sleep well tonight knowing Daryl is on zombie watch.

[@AncientWyrm1775]

Congrats on winning bronze! Your work is truly phenominal.

[@KyraCinderwing]

When you said "Mhm" in the intro, I felt that.

[@Babllord]

Congratulations on your Bronze Golden Demon brother! Well deserved in a hard fought competition. Amazing to see your climb in Hobby and KZbin primacy!

[@NillusWrekar]

Daryl doing a wellness check is just more wholesome than I was expecting from his appearance.

[@MarcusKnapp]

Congratulations on your Bronze finish at Adepticon - a very much deserved recognition of your hard work and talent!

[@littlemousestudio5890]

Congrats on the Trophy Jon..... Well done... Great piece

[@billmalandrino8337]

Hi there! I wanted to drop you a message to express my appreciation. Your videos have been incredibly helpful in my journey into miniature painting. I ventured into wargaming just before turning 43 and, after consulting with friends, I decided on a couple of games and ordered the miniatures. Knowing I wanted to paint them myself, I started watching tutorial videos and stumbled upon yours among others. The knowledge I've gained from your content has been invaluable. Although I still face some challenges, I'm growing more confident with each piece I paint, all thanks to your guidance. Interestingly, I've discovered that I enjoy painting just as much, if not more, than playing the games themselves. So, thank you for generously sharing your expertise, and keep being awesome!

[@misee88]

Congrats Jon! Show us the statue!

[@mattbrown1306]

@6:23 when the 80's power ballad starts in the montage... *Chef's kiss

[@ScytheNoire]

I expected to see video of Rocky Balboa training.

[@lordofthecries7478]

JORT STORM

[@nextgenerationmudracing399]

Congrats on the Bronze

[@philhitchings]

Just seen the Warhammer community article, congratulations!!

[@jphanks]

Congratulations dude! Amazing award!

[@WargamerNed]

Came back here to say congrats, man. If the stars align, would love to attend Adepticon next year so I can see you win Gold ;D Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@the_sigil4340]

Just saw the results on the official website, GG Jon !

[@TekHardy]

Congrats on the bronze placement dude🎉

[@999wilf999]

Congratulations on the podium! Very well deserved!

[@ScytheNoire]

It looks great when they are all put together on the base.

[@adamwickenden9133]

Congrats dude 🎉 I'd be well happy with the result 😁 its a great scene

[@veneficusvex914]

YOU DID IT! HORAAAY! Congrats you Dew addict!

[@ulrichwacken]

You made it! Congrats! Well done, I hope you're happy!

[@skarrz1468]

It looks so awesome, definitely need to do some CoS at some point. The horse falling off the plinth was a nightmare. Wishing you the best mate!

[@aaronbarker9238]

Congrats on the award. Loving the content, great to see the recognition of your talents in the GD.

[@jakublhotan9029]

Congratulations Ninjon to Golden demon ! 😊 awesome work there ! 😊

[@redsven7624]

Absolutely massive congratulations dude, hope it made it worthwhile

[@Glynixx]

Congratulations on the win Jon!

[@goosterpaints731]

Congrats and hats off to you Sir!!! Broke or not, a well deserved price! It’s an amazing piece of art and an achievement! I truly feel happy for you as I know you’ve worked hard for this goal for several years now!!! 🙌

[@Tekkaman76]

these vids just get better and better

[@PocketPigments]

So excited to see this piece in person man, win or lose you're killing it. Attending Adepticon for my first time (hell, leaving Canada for the first time...) and just amped to check out your work and that of all the other amazing artists attending. 5 days lets gooooooooooooo!

[@noahturner1245]

Congrats on the award! Take a well earned breather! On a casual note...what is that song during the Rock Philosophy Class and Tree painting?? That techy 8-bit sound SLAPS

[@WiredCurrent]

Would you be willing once the model has been entered and the competition is over to consider making a video focused on that feedback that was provided? Having the scope of the painters you look up to at my own little level would be incredible.

[@guineapigsith699]

Congratulations Jon! Amazing work man. Played for and got.

[@AlexMinis]

OMG GG for the Golden Demon ! WP ! Really happy for you !

[@JorgeFlores-nw6zk]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[@spacetoy4584]

You did it!

[@mattbrown5234]

One thing I like about Golden Demon season is it’s the one time of year all the painters I admire seem to acknowledge that painting is hard. Normally Ninjon puts out videos that are like “here’s a quick fun way to up your painting, look what I did in 2 hours!” and it’s way better than stuff I put 15-20 hours into. I’m not saying I enjoy the schadenfreude…but I’m not not saying that either!

[@chrish1645]

Congrats on the Demon!

[@nurglematthew893]

Chatted with you at LVO last year. Great work, bud.

[@shrompf]

Congratulations on the Demon! Well deserved 🎉

[@jaredmiller716]

Incredible work, that is a beautiful piece. Congratulations!

[@torgerkltte6072]

Man this absolutely gorgeous work, inspiring. I really wish you triumph with this peace in your chase for a Daemon trophy :)

[@stevekearns6173]

You did it! well done dude! Hazars all round!

[@heikkitakainen1600]

Grz! You made it to the GD podium!!

[@highvolta1]

Well done on the award!!!

[@robertcurtis512]

Congrats Jon!!!! So happy to see you on the Warcom article. What an amazing feat - and what amazing pieces all around.

[@NikkiAnnMarie]

Looking fantastic Jon:) Video idea - it would be really helpful to talk about the feedback you received from various painters and how you tried to implement that. There aren't many videos on pushing competition pieces as far as you can/breaking painting plateaus, or what to do when you can't identify what to improve next. If not a full vid, maybe something worth talking about in a retrospective after GD or something?

[@Overdrive-19]

I hope so too. He mentions at the end that he will make another video about it, so theres definitely a chance.

[@jaylonreidhead157]

Good luck Jon!! You mentioned that you reached out to painters you look up to for advice and feedback. I may not be able to ask for your feedback but you are one of MY inspirations! Keep up the fantastic work man!

[@cable2590]

HE WON ONE LETS GOOOOOO

[@patinapot]

I love what you've been able to capture here, such a natural-looking scene. I know that other than all the technical aspects, the 'story' of one's work is very important in this competition. And you, my friend, have nailed it. Congrats! Waiting for the final video. And I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you when the time comes!

[@kookieslayer]

No matter if you win anything or not, this is by far your best work and I hope you are super proud of it! Amazing piece!

[@ironlungfish1574]

Can't wait to see it in the cabinet next week. Good luck and thanks for taking us along on the ride!

[@Bachman2099]

The piece is looking so dang good! I've got my order in for the Ninjon wet and dry brush palettes and am eagerly anticipating them!

[@giannalomax6714]

The entry looks incredible. I we were standing next to you all at the beginning of the GW preview at Adepticon. I was in the shadow of greatness with all of you there. Great work.

[@bernat_pb]

Thank you for bringing us along on this journey. Truly inspiring. 🤓 The project turned out amazing, way better compared to the last entry. Wish you all the luck!

[@Ninjon]

Thanks so much! I can feel the improvement over last year, so that’s a win in and of itself!

[@TheManAmongAll]

Love the video and the peice is epic ❤ Wishing you all the best from down under in Aus mate 🙏👍 If I’m allowed to throw my 2cents in the ring, I think the stones on the bases highlights are too high and could be toned down a touch, also use another colour glazed through them like a brown in spots might helps set them more in the background than competing against all your nice nmm work

[@Katoasapun]

Man this is incredible, to see how far you've come since the opening of your channel until today. And these minis to show off those skills on. I'm truly thankful I sat down and enjoyed this episode!

[@jaredfournier3982]

Damn Jon. You should be very proud. You can see the evolution and improvement of your painting skill through your videos over the years. Fantastic job

[@eros5420]

@14:07 I gasped in fear as it fell and got embarrassed. My girlfriend could have mocked me but she's too sweet.

[@TownofEssex]

Way to go on the Golden Demon win!! It was amazing following along with you!

[@timothyferguson4248]

To say this is “just” your best piece is an understatement. It is one of the best fantasy miniatures I’ve seen and certainly the best Cities of Sigmar piece I’ve ever seen. The cohesion is this piece contrasted with your entry from last year is where I see the most growth in your style, but your growth as a painter is astronomical. Great work Jon.

[@kevinhayes517]

Daryl, your videos are always great, with excellent tips and techniques…and a bit of subtle humor in the delivery. Thanks for your time and effort, they are much appreciated!

[@chappy6817]

Gratz on the demon dude

[@TheCommandPhase]

Absolutely phenominal work - you should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved with this project! Best of luck to you in the competiton.

[@Ennio444]

Congrats!

[@MichaelElliott-cr9dx]

Congrats on bronze ninjon, well done

[@willmuckel9131]

Congrats on the Golden Demon Bronze. I’ve been following you for a long time and really enjoy your personality in the videos.

[@foreverfornever1124]

Fantastic piece, I really hope you do well this year. Also congrats on the Game Envy collab! I absolutely love their wet palette and nice to see you get your own special edition. I love that yours comes with a texture palette. The texture palette is such a phenomenal bonus that no other company has done. Also did not expect so many additional perks and add ons. That creature castor bundle is tempting and Ill have to see just how much I want to support the kickstarter with

[@michaelrusch1336]

Really excited to see your piece on display next week!

[@FattyZee]

I know the focus isn't the base, but dude, the earth tones and the rocks are actually amazing! By the end of that montage it was looking fantastic!!

[@SlayerMiniatures]

I actually screamed when the marshal fell off! LOL. Absolutely smashed it Brah! Fingers crossed for you!

[@jamesrichichi3019]

Been following you for years and I know you have been dedicated to GD and what a great recognition!

[@mrbigphil22]

dude this is incredible, loved this series and i am proper rooting for you to pick up a win mate! its deserved!

[@BeastWreck]

Great job so far. Looking forward to seeing the finished model, and meeting you at the Army Painter booth, at Adepticon next week!

[@feigned_ignis426]

I signed up for a painting competition in my area and I have one model left for my unit entry that is taking forever and the advice of "make it interesting through techniques and new paints" I will definitely be taking forward as I speed through final month!

[@lat1n0_h0t]

Congratulations on winning a GD with this piece. Excellent work and glad you were able to keep grinding past the bumps from last year's GD. Great stuff

[@Gladius-XC]

Thanks for sharing these pieces and your thoughts with us. Your tips and techniques for painting, but also having the right mental state, delivered with a bit of snarkiness, but also humility, is great to see. Good luck next weekend!

[@GilesCuddy]

Good luck with the Golden Demon entry, excited to see how it performs. It looks great from here!

[@toversnoleu8769]

14:05 this I felt in my heart. my brain saw all that in super slowmotion giving me high levels of anxiety seeing many chipped of paints breaking of parts! ps. I hope you win because this looks increddible!

[@inigomontoya6968]

Wonderful job! I can't wait to see how you do at GD! Best of luck to go along with your awesome ski!!!

[@sergeyorlov1234]

congrants on a bronze!

[@Uselesswizard]

Can't wait to see all of your hard work in person next week! This series has been really interesting, and I'm looking forward to your follow up after Adepticon!

[@ikfawkes]

Man, I just went to check the Golden Demon results with you in mind. I was scrolling down looking for the AoS unit and it was really nice to see you got a Bronze! (althought I was expecting even better with the incredibly beautiful piece you managed to paint!) Congratulations :)

[@Mekhami]

man, this is a fantastic video! so informative, so many little tips, so much big picture ideas. i'd love to see more of your content reach this level of quality :)

[@kingkreaghan]

It's absolutely one of the best scenes I've ever seen! You killed it congratulations and good luck. I am rooting for you! Simply awesome!

[@amoryburgess]

Congrats on your GD trophy! It was a perfect next chapter in your story. Can’t wait to see what comes in the next season.

[@nathanlovin]

Great video, Ninjon! Your approach to painting rocks was awesome.

[@mortisangelica]

damn dude looking good! You learnt about the tuffs from the last one you did. All the cloth flowing with the wind in the same direction, just don't forget the tuffts bigger grass will bend with the wind and that banner needs some serious wind to be flapping in the breeze. The horses eye looks so good It keeps drawing me in.

[@Transitionsband1]

Absolutely incredible work Jon! I'm sure someone could find room for critique, but it's not me. I was literally just nodding my head and going "nice" as you added the models to the base, it came together so well!!

[@guineapigsith699]

good luck Jon, rooting for you bud, absolutley gorgeous

[@Willyamm]

Congrats dude, I know this was a hard fought battle. I know the win after the long battle can feel uninspiring. I hope the relaxation and recovery allow you to really appreciate it in time ;).

[@pointandshootvideo]

The base looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the various techniques.

[@JohnAdams-lj9oe]

That was bloody spectacular to watch. Thank you and best of luck with your submission!
