Sorastro's Marvel: Crisis Protocol Painting Guide Ep.2 - Iron Man

[@russspears4690]

This is overlooked in a lot of other video/tutorials, but the paint & equipment list in the description details is greatly appreciated.

This series always looks like paintings from a comic book, almost surreal good. I really like that style, although it seems very hard to achieve. Great work!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot buddy! I'm glad you like the style I've gone for with these minis. It's time consuming, but a very fun and rewarding process 😁

Every time I think I've seen you do your best work (Cap), the next video suprasses it. I love the high-contrast comic-y style you're using for these miniatures. It makes me want to buy the game (which I'll never be able to play) just to paint the minis.

Thanks a lot mate! I'm really pleased you like the direction I've taken these minis 😃

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I am LOVING these tutorials for Crisis Protocol :-D I just bought a set for myself, as after painting so many figures from this game for others, I wanted my own, and also to convert them for "fun." I'm converting one Hulk figure into a Weapon H figure using green stuff, acrylic rod and the thick plastic from a box of bamboo skewers I found among my bits boxes, so things are going well there, at least. Now, for those, like myself who are sado-masochistic edge model figure builders/painters/collectors, the Spider-Man figure from the core set could prove "interesting," as I found out myself. I wanted first to make the webs underneath his armpit to his waist, so tried a couple of ways. First I tried embroidery cloth, which is meshed in design, but it was just too tricky and floppy to use, unless you stiffen it with watered down PVA and repeat the process using slowly thicker layers, but then it dries rock hard, and has a tendency to snap when you try and cut/test fit the pieces for the webbing. So finally I found some sheets of dirt cheap car body mesh at the discount store near where I live (Thank you Jimmy's of Ennis, Co. Clare, yet again) and found that pushing the corner into Spidey's armpit, then marking a generous enough area to allow for trimming to fit the space and gluing (Yet another nightmare process, needing MUCH patience and a bleep button due to screaming profanities on my behalf :->), it does, after some hard work and dry runs, look very nice, and when finally glued in place (Glue the armpit first, let the glue dry thoroughly, then CAREFULLY bend/shape the under-bicep part and affix with glue, and the same for the rest of his rib-cage areas), then a little final trimming/filing of the mesh edges, and it's ready to go for the undercoat. I tried this technique first on an old 1/6th vinyl model of Spider-Man I had collecting dust, and it did work, it's just a lot trickier in "Heroic 32 mm scale" to say the least. The mesh does look a tad too large, but once it's all painted up and varnished/based (I stuck my figure on a piece of wall scenery from the box set, angled downward for a more dynamic effect), you don't notice the scale discrepancy, just how freakin' awesome it looks with attached web-wings under his arms. Now I'm thinking of how to use the car body mesh to add a stream of web shooting from his wrist held web-shooters (It never ends, once inspiration strikes. This hobby just makes more work for yourself, and evolves your skills along with it, although my stress levels are now interstellar, to say the least :-D). Anyway, still loving every tutorial you upload, as they get better each time, so please keep them coming, and I'll keep being inspired by you.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot my friend! 😄

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! Thank you 😁

[@M104-q9y]

It's so difficult to highlight red like this without just making it look pink overall. This still looks very red though.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I think keeping the highlights quite tightly focused helps, plus tempering the pink levels with the red glazes of course 😃

[@lukasklees3081]

You can also use orange instead as the highlight if you want really saturated (gives a differenet effect though that doesnt always work as its really dependent on the surrounding colors) or light skin tones to to prevent it from getting to pastel'ish.

[@lukasklees3081]

I just hate how amazing wet red paint looks vs dry red paint. You just yell at it "stay stay stay no no no dont dry dar no no....ooif".

[@ReallyBigBadAndy76]

I’ve already painted two versions of iron man from crisis protocol. But every time I see a Sorastro video it makes me want to go get another mini and try again.

[@Sorastro]

Killed it with another amazing painting guide. If time permits, I'm very interested in seeing your take on Ultron. I've tried on three different occasions to paint him, but still can't come up with a satisfying NMM finish.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Tyler! I can't wait to paint Ultron! I'm painting them in the order voted for by my patrons however, and he's a little further down the list at the moment.. 😃

[@Adoinkaboink]

Completely understandable as his particular color scheme is a bit more basic than the other hero characters (especially if done in true metallics). Either way I await your next guide with great anticipation KZbin, pdf or otherwise. Thank you for responding to my comment by the way.

Hi there, so just wanted to drop you a message saying that I’m using your NMM gold technique, but it should be noted that it seems Vallejo no longer sells 70.887 as Brown Violet, but has renamed it U.S. Olive Drab (at least here in the States). I was very confused trying to track down the proper color. Thought it maybe worth noting in the video description and future videos.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks for that Josh! That's quite annoying 😄

[@CrazyAuron1]

I just wanted to say you've some such a long way from when you first started attempting NMM in some videos a few years back, and it's fantastic. The only question I wanted to ask was what did you find to help you the most? Did you watch videos, take classes, or was it just practicing the skills repeatedly?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Mark! I guess I learn like everyone else, mostly through practice, but also looking at the works of painters I admire (not just mini painters, but "painter" painters too), and I've also learned to take a lot from studying nature and the environment around me. :)

[@Sorastro]

I do not know 😁

[@Hello-1814]

Sorry if you’ve gone over this, but how much planning do you do about how are you going to paint the mini. How do you decide on colors and techniques? If you cover this elsewhere just please let me know.

[@Sorastro]

Hi! That's a good question, and the time I spend trying ideas out does vary quite a bit from mini to mini. In this case, I had a bit of a play with the Scalecolor reds on a spare Stromtrooper and really loved them! I think I actually spent a bit longer refining my NMM gold colour ideas to get a look I was happy with. Then even during filming I was also trying things out to an extent (placement of highlights, which reds to use for glazing etc.) :)

[@nickmaroney2536]

Hey Sorastro. Any chance you can do Spider man? I really wanna see how you do the black lines on him while keeping the rich red on his suit.

[@Sorastro]

Hi Brandon! It's hard to say.. whilst there are some minis I could paint in 30 minutes, for this particular series I'm enjoying a higher level of painting which takes a lot longer - especially if I'm trying new techniques and ideas out. So I'll spend anything between 4-8 hours perhaps on a figure like this. :)

Hi there. Q? Do you normally do more layers of the base coat or do you just jump into highlights?

[@joshuaginn792]

I’d have used an orange instead of white to highlight the red. White always desaturates red to pink.

[@Sorastro]

Hi Joshua! Yes, adding orange (/yellow) is quite a popular way to create red highlights; in this case I wanted to push up to pure white in order to create a shiny metallic effect however, and also boost the levels to allow me to then glaze back down to achieve a stronger level of saturation than would be possible when building highlights up from dark to light. :)

Lol buddy 😄

[@tantill134]

Why the switch to S75?

[@Sorastro]

Hi! Good question! I chose them partly because I wanted a super vibrant pinkish red tone for the armour, and I really liked the look of the Scalecolor reds; the Antares Red in particular has a very brilliant tone. They also have a very matte finish which I find good for glazing over. 😃

[@annekekramer3835]

@@Sorastro About the glazing, I see other painters use S75 for glazing too, like Kujo. Is it purely the matte finish, or also that S75 has so little pigment? If it is the pigment, could you achieve the same results simply by thinning with water or lahmium medium?

[@tantill134]

@@Sorastro Thanks! Yeah, their reds definitely are unique in their hue/saturation. Did you enjoy using them? Find them any different? I've had issues with consistency coming out of the bottle.

[@Sorastro]

@@annekekramer3835 Hey mate! I think the matte finish is what makes them easy to glaze over; the consistency can of course be adjusted with water, or medium/water to your liking.. :)

[@Sorastro]

@@tantill134 I really did enjoy working with them; I did find that some tones were more opaque, and others were much thinner (the "Blood Red" for example, which I didn't use in the end). The colours really do just "sing" in a way that I've not seen from the reds in the Citadel line, and only in a couple of the Vallejo reds. I think they do require a few layers, which for a project like this is actually ideal, because it makes it easier to boost the saturation and levels incrementally, plus I found using them quite thinned for glazing didn't leave the "streaky" finish that often happens with other paints. It's the first time I've actually used this line in a project (although I have used a few of the "Fantasy and Game" colours before) and I've probably got a lot more to learn, but I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can do with them :)

[@danielbeam3113]

A gloss coat would completely defeat the purpose of using the non-metallic metal effect. Why would you go to the trouble of emulating how light would reflect off of metal just to then add a gloss coat that reflects light naturally? The model would look like it's constantly being lit from multiple directions or light sources, it'd be terrible.

[@danielwilliamson4056]

This paint job is really good, but I can’t help but feel it’s a little wasted. You’re using a lot of advanced techniques, which you typically learn by doing. Most advanced painters can paint this without a tutorial and the people that typically watch these kinds of videos are newer painters. Still like I say your painting is amazing

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Lithey! I'm not sure I agree with the notion that showing more advanced techniques in a video is a wasted endeavour though; I myself have learned quite a lot from watching superior painters. 😀

This must've taken forever, as I know that glazes take FOREVER to dry.
