Painting my first ever freehand - on a $2000 Warhammer canvas

This week, we add a couple of freehand illustrations to the warhammer warlord titans. But it's honestly a little daunting as I've never painted one before and its quite literally the most expensive miniature sold today.

Wow... for a first freehand, that is impressive. Massive credit to Emil for sticking it out and finishing it. With Lukas' freehand skill, it would've been so easy to just let him do it, and save a bunch of time. I'm sure Emil thought about it at least a couple of times while painting it.

[@nofuxgivens2797]

I really think Lucas should have did a Tyranid 'Kraken' trying to snatch up a space cruiser. I know it's kinda nitpicking the lore but how many people in the 40k universe knows what a Saint boat is? Have seen one? Know of any legendary ships names and stories? Either way, Lucas did a really good job

[@volegaming3603]

@@nofuxgivens2797 I don’t agree. The days of old wooden ships are gone but we still feature them heavily in our art, media and mythology. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for people far in the future to still be aware of them!

[@DimenGaming]

@@nofuxgivens2797 in one of the HH books they are mentioned

[@turret75]

Meaning no offence to Emil but Lukas is such a beast... 😱

[@agentwashington1]

I feel like this really shows what kind of determination it takes to get to both of yours' skill level. Both free hands look amazing because you didn't fold in and let Lukas do all three pieces.

[@Joe_Murph]

Lukas: "I'm finally finished after 2-3 hours, I think it looks pretty good" Talking about one of the best bits of free hand I've seen on a model 😆

[@vamps_vids]

I love how Lucas is better than Squid :D

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I think its coming out really good! It will be the best Warlord titan (titans) ever!

[@MatthewRyanSchoonraad]

That's an insane first freehand!! well done these warlord titans are going to be sick.. Also Lucas your freehands were amazing as always, but that eye, with the one on the boat.. thats just something special

[@rowanerickson129]

So cool seeing artists push themselves to create something truly amazing

[@123scopee]

WTF, you both should be extremely proud of you have achieved, amazing work lads.

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

Also, have my first 500 pt army on the way to my house. Thanks for the inspiration my man.

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

I just started painting miniatures and there’s a learning curve. You guys definitely are leagues ahead lmao I have however, been free hand drawing anime since I was a little kid, so what you’re currently doing would be easier for me. Even blending with copic markers is just not the same as painting minis lmao it’s hard man. But keep free handing! It’s awesome.

[@christianschmidt1784]

It's great to see how Emil approached the new skill by sticking to it and repaint over and over. Looks amazing and next one will be much faster.

[@AriochTheDestroyer]

Lukas' freehand skills is just amazing

[@ae0n772]

Few additions you could add to the diorama: The loyalist titan could have barnicles due its employment under water, The Chaos titan could be leaking oil into the ocean around it, as chaos corrupts whatever its near; similar to the likes of an oil barge spill maybe? anyways; keep up the great work!

[@russellpoland6637]

A most Epic paint for Titanic builds!! You have both exceeded expectations here!! Masterfully done Gentlemen! And on such small canvases too! Team Squimar have and will always continue to excite and exceed with each and every project! I Thank You all for sharing with Us here on the tube and look forward to more in the future!! Thank all People of Squidmar! Later

[@jasoncarter3182]

You both are so incredibly talented, the three free hands are stunning

[@swallowmellow5019]

why does EVERYTHING you guys do look amazing?

[@RezDrazdir]

The ♥ reflection in the kraken eye who just wants to hug the ship! :D

[@strawhatYG]

whoah i was just looking around at an old hobby i'd forgotten, this is amazing

[@waynegoddard4065]

I watched a video yesterday about whether painting miniatures is an art or not. After seeing this I think it is. Quality channel!!!!!!!!

[@monsterofvalhalla3397]

That Daemon.... Hell yeah. So excited about this build and where its heading. 🤘

[@torbenlanghede5092]

Crazy work! Setting the bar high for the rest of the project

[@scenczyk1429]

WOOOOOOW. That end product! WOW

[@kennanliston930]

This Video inspired me to Free hand a base for a Bloodletter Champion and I am so happy with the result!

[@meow999meow]

You guys really are artists, what lovely freehand from both of you. Really loving it!

[@JakeMcaulay]

i know you guys are moving more toward these grand scale projects now but i would still really like to see you guys paint up that retro 40k ork army at some point.

[@_oidaki_]

Fabulous. I am smitten with these multi-video diorama projects.

[@multiple_oranges]

they all looked amazing!!!!

[@SpontaneousSquiggle]

Yoooo these look incredible! You both absolutely smashed it and the atmosphere and lighting in all of them is fantastic! Looking forward to more

[@janderson5773]

Absolutely amazing guys your two are so talented!!!!!!!

[@adennkyramud116]

This has all been phenomenal so far, can't wait to see it all come together!

[@michaelyoung937]

Absolutely brilliant! You boys are really showing your talent. A brilliant idea superbly executed.

[@nicocarrion1441]

Master piece!!! Straight to a museum... 👏 Regards from Buenos Aires.

[@sxyker1221]

I know is kinda unrelated but I’ll keep asking if maybe you can add a goblin in the diorama as a reference of the trade journey 😊

[@magnusmillerwilson]

You guys are truly artists. Amazing work.

[@psychothriller1]

the freehands are crazy good!!

[@nikkywallis5083]

This freehand is lit! You guys are so talented. The blues with the Kraken really pop. Amazing work… excited to see what’s next for the titan diorama!!

[@benscott9750]

The kraken and boat on the shoulder blade was absolutely fire 🔥

[@llMcSH4DYll]

Those were some epic freehand paintings.

[@Sergiocalvominiatures]

really good! congratulations. I'm familiar with the idea of painting with pencil on the figure before painting the freehand 😉😉

[@snakehead214]

All three look incredible good. I aspire to be able to paint that well at some day. Not even on minis but on a tablet. You guys inspire me time and time again to keep at it so at some point I will be able to visualize my thoughts this well.

[@alexanderopland352]

Your the guys that got me into painting warhammer. Keep up the good work Love from Norway🙏❤

[@calebhurst2529]

Incredible work both of you!

[@FrankThaThird]

Amazing artistry from you two, those painting look sick.

[@michaelnserchristensen5901]

Nice freehand, I'm not sure about the iconography of a sailboat in the WH40K setting but it is well paintet. Looking forward for the finished piece 😊

[@chrisdown2591]

They look awesome guys! Well done!

[@jamesowens-darkcurvstudios]

Props to you both, these look amazing. A bit disappointed however that you didnt credit the original artists for the pieces you used as inspiration. I'm sure they'd appreciate it

[@thejayb1983]

These are insane! I know we're miles away from the end product but I can't wait to see it finished!

[@german1340]

Great work man! i dunno if it helps but when i do big freehand i print the design in the right size, and then i do a stencil with it, just to get the proportions right. It helps a LOT

[@Rack985]

Nice work guys. Lukas you are a crazy guy with the freehand.

[@alphawolves8809]

What a piece of art

[@benmiles00]

Very impressive. Great work guys.

[@jontyhugh1080]

Those are all fucking awesome, that bloodletter art is one of my favourites and it gets my stamp of approval :) And lucas again knocking it out of the park, they were both great

[@TheJordin1]

I just can't wait to see the completed project. This is gonna be one for the history books dudes

[@loken67]

WOW. Awesome freehands from both of you. The project is getting better and better...

[@pillowmanswe2350]

honestly i hope every panel has art like it on them... love the look

[@michaelmasters1212]

Hey! Love the series so far, and I have an idea for the diorama, two actually. I think the rockets should be used as anti personnel weaponry. The other idea is to have the victor titan rip off armor/a limb as it pushes the loser beneath the waves. Maybe even have the foot go partially through? It would add some serious movement and power to the fight

[@colesanak3120]

Another insane piece of work

[@RM_3D]

Just think about it in this way the longer it takes the more content you can have xD an epic 15 part series on freehand painting

[@antonjonsson424]

wow that looks VERY good

[@kristoff7049]

Those are amazing! Especially as your first free hand!

[@euansmith3699]

I'm now imagining Traitor and Loyalist Knight Houses having Custom Titan Shows; where they show off their sweet, sweet rides and compete for best in show. Now Squidmar and Emil just need to paint up the rest of the Titans' panels to the same level 😄😄😄👍

[@elliottb7009]

they were amazing.

[@brisingr0962]

100% some of the best art I’ve seen! Congrats guys!

[@Buckr0ger5]

All three look really great. An inspiration not to give up when the going gets tough

[@someone01011]

incredible looking

[@MelkorBauglir25]

Oh boy i love those freehands

[@bingorobins1010]

Duuuuuuude those look sick! Good work!

[@Wymorn]

Amazing work, your knowledge of colors and persistence have made your initial free-handing effort a stand-out success!

[@cmcmillan22]

wow, this is going to be one of the nicest titans out there. period

[@feelluckypunk1312]

Super rad ..Love all 3 pieces a lot

[@gymcelsocialism]

Thats some unreal free-hand, genuinely spectacular results.

[@1989jimbob]

Crazy stuff, well done

[@mattheopichetti9258]

Jesus christ thats some god damn works of art. Amazing

[@callumbignall1877]

Incredible work

[@heyy13]

Holy shit all three of these are amazing! So much props to Emil for continuing. You did a phenomenal job, it's astounding that this is something you've never done before!

[@ShoGunGrebby]

It may have taken you 2 extra days, but you effing NAILED it... Lucas's art is amazing as well, but the transition of your flames to the rest of the piece really makes the Bloodletter Pop into the foreground... I love it... I also really love Lucas's art as well... it kinda reminds me of scrimshaw (which I think would look amazing somewhere else on the model if you think you have time or patience enough to do it - just make it look like its etched in metal as opposed to dark lines in whale bone... i think that would be a really neat touch) fantastic work as usual boys, I can't wait to see the whole thing finished

[@ozone5150]

Wow! Excellent work Gents

[@WoodImp]

Great execution, the slight curve of the panel always makes things a little trickier than you'd expect!

[@PostMortemix]

Impressive tedious freehand paint! Great work.

[@mindyfranke5279]

Nicely painted, Emil for your first freehand! Well done!

[@ethernaelis]

Awesome painting!!

[@carloalbertoz7846]

I really like how you do the sponsored section of the video. Like that people don't have to skip as there is still content on the screen.

[@Tigerhat]

Honestly this is one of the most impressive videos yet!

[@khromas5392]

Lukas! You absolute beast! Those kraken look awesome!

[@Itstheminiatureguy]

Man I love you guys work. Definitely an inspiration !

Amazing freehand

I’m beyond excited to see the finished result . You’re both doing an amazing job !

[@derrerngrice9284]

That's really cool guys, good job!

[@tuukkara]

Jättebra! Such an amazing free hand😱 I'm stunned!

[@mattemonx4315]

All the freehands turned out so well!

[@u4545225]

Top stuff lads. 5 days is a massive effort and would’ve required immense patience. Respect!

[@MarketResearchReading114]

FINALLY! A part of painting that they're not absolute gods at! Thank you for sharing! I hope one day to level up to your level, but that's long and hard fought road that I haven't traveled. So inspiring to see you guys do something out of your wheel house a bit, with these cool free hands!

[@joetownsend6325]

completely blown away by these! The final piece is going to be legendary!

[@tulmir]

Wowowowow you guys are raising the bar in every single video to a new level!

[@bee-beargaming]

The free hand came out beautiful

[@richardjackson9257]

Excellent work guys!

[@rauldominguez8682]
