Painting Massive Darkness - Giant Spider

[@handleofvecna2443]

Glad to see new videos but the style seems very different. The information comes across very clearly, and I learned new techniques from it, but your channel has a great sense of humor that I missed in this vid. Hopefully you're still going to use that humor in future videos but either way great work!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

CreativeAtrophy I know what you mean. I'm trying to figure a format for these types of videos. I want to blend the theme of game, information, and fun together. I'm still figuring out how to do that. Could you tell me how you think the Palpatine video compares to this? That one was filmed differently. I'm curious to hear your feedback.

[@handleofvecna2443]

The Pumper Jones Tabletop Gaming Network If it helps you out I'd be happy to! I gave the Palpatine video a rewatch, and your sense of humor definitely comes through a lot more which I liked. I think as a result the dialogue felt much more natural than in the giant spider video, where it was more tightly scripted but felt a little dry and unnatural to me by comparison. The section on painting Palpatines face was great, especially because I always have trouble with eyes and this was a great tutorial for that and blowing up the scale really helped illustrate what was going on. Seeing them back to back I definitly prefer the music in the giant spider video, it helped the video flow better imo. I found the music in the Palpatine video distracting, but that might have just been for hobbyween or maybe I just have bad taste lol. I LOVED the thematic transitions you used with the massive darkness cards in the spider video, I thought that was a great touch. The only suggestion I can think of possibly for future videos is something that Sorastro's painting adds to his, which is to list all the paint colors and materials used in the video down in the description as well as a time stamp to all the different steps. This is extremely helpful to me when referring back later. I hope this feedback helps you out, I'm looking forward to seeing whatever other formats you've come up wirh. So far I've really enjoyed all the content that's come out of your channel and hope you keep putting out more!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time out of your day to let me know all this. I'm going to try and implement everything you have mentioned. Most of it has (thankfully) confirmed the direction I want to take these videos (but it is still very valuable to hear it - I'm wrong often) I think you are right about including a list of product as well as chapter markers. Adding metadata isn't fun, but I can see how not having it would mitigate the utility of the video. All that said, it's going to be some time before you see the result of all this, as I still have an editing backlog. But it is my goal to get this all sorted out before I start a series about a game people actually play. Thanks again for the feedback. Have a great weekend!

you know when I achieve full happiness? when I see a new video from pumper jones

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Thanks. That made me happy.

[@LaShondaMBrown]

Me too💖 They didn't let me see this until it was finished but I'm in awe😍 #ProudWife

[@dominicbeaudrie2736]

I’m about to do some goblin spiders and you have inspired me to try a few new things. Great work here! Thank you.

[@squallgoku777]

Liked and Subscribed! This was an amazing video to watch, so many good tips and tricks, and that webbed goblin corpse was just cherry!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Glad you liked it! Learned a lot doing these vids. I'm sure I'll come back to this at some point.

[@DethCricket]

I always get excited seeing a new video from you guys! Instant like before the video even starts!!!

[@LaShondaMBrown]

DethCricket you've been such a loyal supporter from the start. Many thanks!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

I think I've watched your Spore Creature video 5 times now.

[@DethCricket]

XD

[@jakecrowe3797]

Absolutely wonderful video. Gonna’ check out some more!

[@Brand0n4569]

So glad to see you back doing videos again. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Me too, hopefully I learn to film/edit these faster.

[@cerethpainting6777]

So great to find new well produced videos. Fantastic!

[@tabletopbattlezone5711]

I've been painting minis since the 80's, always learn something new here. 😀

[@zaphael7238]

Great job I really enjoy your videos, i enjoys your style and humor, your spider is creepy, colorful yet not over the top, your base was really well done especially adding the figure covered in webbing it was a really great touch.

[@Higzilla]

It's BACK!!! welcome Back.. You were missed...

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

It's always nice to poke my head out and see you guys!

[@MugenSlayers]

Really great video! I find it really fun that the cheap craft paints you describe for the base are my main paint for years now. It's great not only for bases in my opinion :)

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Coopenotte I'm thinking I'd like to show and mentiin the paint I used, but also try to refer to the colors in the generic so that they might be of more use. I'll have to expand my color vocabulary. Not buying miniature paints is a great way to stretch your money as many terrain painting people know.

[@MugenSlayers]

Have you try warcolours range ? They have some great technical paint too

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Not at all. I wouldn't mind trying some artisan miniature paints one day, though! I'm also looking forward to play with pigments one of these days (Although I have no idea when)

[@guglielmo822]

@@PumperjonesTabletop I've bought some miniature paints to start but also have some generic acrylics. Is it foolish to use for more than just the base? I've just been experimenting diluting with water or rubbing alcohol. A little excessive alcohol actually made a nice "clumping" texture I utilized on a spider I've been doing.

[@heathpage8714]

Hello Pumper Jones! I'm new to the channel and this was the first vid of yours I've seen. Very impressive! What is that clay/putty you used to make your stone floor and where can it be purchased?

[@jakecrowe3797]

It’s called Green Stuff. You should be able to find it at a local game shop, otherwise many hobby companies sell their version online.

[@garathminis5108]

Very very good. I do comission work and I can say you have the painting mojo. Keep it up

[@lostnfound4125]

Love the new video, can't wait for more!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Cool beans! Just trying to get faster at this.

[@frostphoenyx]

Awesome work, the result is stunning. Subscribed for more Massive Darkness !

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Thanks. There are at least a few more in the queue.

[@meikniessing2398]

Looks so good... I'm gonna try that cork to pavement. Looks really great.

[@a-nittwit]

So good the base mate, the base.

[@Viviolau]

2 minutes into the video and i'm massively impressed (lol) by the video already. Subscribed!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Viviolay Thanks! New video for you by the end of the week!

[@rt-ks2bh]

In One word,,,,,Brillianttttttttttt

[@rizar1982]

Very nice! I like it a lot!

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

That is badass! Loved this video. Was going to sell off my Massive Darkness but now I might keep it and get painting.

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Great models, but the gameplay feels pretty perfunctory.

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

That has been my impression too.

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

TheRealBlueSwan There are some mods on board game geek that seem to mitigate the problems. Although the big problem for me is that I wanted a campaign variant of Zombicide, and that is not what we got. (Not really)

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Cheers. I'll look it up!

[@michaellibakhansen2670]

"you could avoid this if you were a better painter than me" Gosh, so many thinks could be easier if I were a better painter :D Love the video. Long time no see.

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Self doubt is a friend I know well. Painting has only made me more aware of this. It's a great hobby! Thanks for stopping by.

[@michaellibakhansen2670]

Did you by any chance ever finish the Kingdom Death set that you got?

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

It was actually some duplicate models from the kickstater that were a gift. I am very grateful to have them. But I took a break from painting, and I paint pretty slow. So all I've really done is stare at all that detail on the sprue. That game is so intimidating to me... And I have such a backlog... But it's so pretty... What a great hobby! Sorry if that's disappointing.

[@michaellibakhansen2670]

I also very intimidated by KDM. I got the survivor rewards painted and now I have painted the core KDM set. Not to mention alot of warhammer and imperial assault. That pheonix took 30+ hours alone and 10 hours of assembly. Your videos helped a great deal to accelerate my painting hobby and were very entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@michaellibakhansen2670]

Not the mention the video about varnish on card board. That was godsent.

[@darrenp9454]

Really great video!

[@RyanF1313]

This is a great guide - sad to see that the channel is dead.

[@HenrikH321]

What an awesome video! I just found your channel. I really do hope you will make some more videoes for Massive Darkness!

[@christian_daigle]

Awesome videos man! Keep it up!!

[@niederman]

So much more formal and educational then before lol 😂

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

I'm kinda surprised your the only one to mention that. It's hardly more educational though... 😂 Did you like the style in the Palpatine one better?

[@niederman]

The Pumper Jones Tabletop Gaming Network I personally enjoy the Palatine style better, I think Josh is at his best improvising, tripping over his own words lol, and I like it when you use your trademark editing humor! This was still good though! The humor was still there, I just had to look harder haha. If y'all wanna try new stuff I'm all for it!

[@grzegorzcaputa]

Great!

[@MrMaradona75]

woow wonderful

[@WeAreAlphariuss]

dude, who are you and why havent you been in my life longer? MORE VIDS PLEASE!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Thanks. I'm still figuring out a workflow that i am happy with. Let me know how they compare in the coming weeks. I already learned a lot from the Palpatine video (which was shot after this).

[@kiksterman]

Awesome

[@BillyButton63]

What are the best paints to use on plastic minis? Water based, or oil based, or does it really make any difference? By the way... Great job on that Spider!

[@marccxxshammer6643]

👍🏼🤟🏼

[@thebrewgeek]

Holy crap man, when did you graduate from basing college? That was fantastic!

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

Thanks. I got the degree online between shifts. Hopefully I can pay off the college loans.

[@JEM7VJIM]

how can you repair the imperfection? it seems to be a paint?

[@hipsukun]

Please post this (and other videos) in boardgamegeek under the game's Videos section. You could get so many more viewers! This video is amazing

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

That's a great idea!

[@garnold6214]

Where do you suggest getting corkboard from for basing?

[@PumperjonesTabletop]

I don't recommend anywhere in particular. Just google 4mm corkboard, or look around at a craft shop.

[@johnwolff4213]

Is it OK that I'm always an uncomfortable painter when I watch your videos?

[@tylerstephens6466]

'non gendered bros'. heh.

[@trevorclapham5571]

Non gendered bro's???
