Sorastro's Marvel: Crisis Protocol Painting Series Ep.18 - Lizard

[@wilfbiffherb]

The music in these videos sets me so on edge. But that grey going down on the lab coat was soooooooo satisfying.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks David! Sorry about the music; I generally hear people tell me it helps put them to sleep...! :)

[@wilfbiffherb]

@@Sorastro oh no need to apologise, it's just me!

[@skizzlep]

Love it when a new Sorastro vid is dropped. So much fun to watch! Also, shout out to the editing and music! We'll rounded talent.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind compliments :)

[@Mailed-Knight]

Well done, he was always one of my favorite Spiderman characters.

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! Thanks mate :)

[@Dmitry_Solid]

The sculptor of the miniature is amazing!! Your beauty as usual is beyond praise👍 👍 👍 I certainly want more of something in the style of fantasy 😺 😺 😺

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'm currently working on the next Descent: Legends of the Dark video (funded by my kind patrons on Patreon: www.patreon.com/Sorastros ) :)

1. Who disliked this video? 2. Lizard looks great for using contrast paints! This makes it easy for people who are either intimidated or just aren't confident painters. 3. Sure it takes longer to highlight each scale and some people don't have the time or just want to play with the model. 4. Really liked the added water effect 5. Great job!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot for the kind feedback! :D

[@stephenspangler2790]

I have been stuck on this miniature for months. Been trying to figure out how to do the skin. Was leaning toward a base + wash. I like your contrast paint method much better! Easy to do and much faster.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I hope it works out for you 😀

[@yagsipcc287]

Just watching your series atm and it is brilliant. I have no intrest in the game myself outside of the models, but I do like Batman Miniatures Game these styles can be sometimes really hard or surprisingly easy to do depending on the look I had a Green Lantren Model and it turned out to be super easy to do but I but tons of different tones in it, lighting effects etc... still turned out to be one of my best models I ever painted and in only a couple of hours (used oil paints as well for parts) I am also printing off some comic style models the style of them is between 90s comics and Marvel Crisis Protocol so little tricks to add to my painting is always much loved :-) thanks again for these great videos.

[@erickalba]

Another amazing masterpiece. This is my favorite channel on youtube

[@Sorastro]

Wow, thank you so much Erick! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 😊

[@Jan-ld2rl]

Once again a fantastic job that you show us! Thank you for sharing this with us

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Jan! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mattcappelli5822]

As always, beautifully done. I have to decide if I want to but this many pots of contrast vs painting all the lizard skin manually. What you did looks great and rather quick, which is what I’m after.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Matt! It might also be worth considering the new Army Painter Speedpaints? I've not tried them myself yet but I've heard good things.. :)

[@syncopaint_minis3016]

Well done Mark. Amazing as usual !!!!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much buddy! :)

[@rosspowell4446]

Wow, delighted to say I took nearly an identical approach to this! Except for the graph charger grey contrast on the coat, which looks exceptional now I see it! I did a grey grown wash into the folds

[@Sorastro]

Thanks buddy - great minds..! 😄

[@mikeglasswell-gameplay]

Fantastic sculpt. love your work

[@Sorastro]

Hey Mike! Thanks a lot 😀

[@peytonsadler6922]

Insane job!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Peyton! :)

[@Pandenhir]

Another Masterpiece!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! He's a fun one for sure 😀

[@thomasjackson1738]

The water effects look amazing....not that I'm surprised!!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks mate! It was a fun and simple approach for sure.. 😀

[@GamingExistence]

Love the videos! I just had a quick look through to see if you had one on where to start generally when getting paints. I painted 40k about 20 years ago when I was a kid but nothing since. Just got Descent and want up the painting skills with an airbrush, layers and inks. Hard to find articles that don't contradict each other on air brush models or paint sets to get as a starting pack. Would be handy to have a video that covers: Airbrushing pros + cons Makes expensive and cheap to start Airbrush specific paints, do I need them? Airbrush base paints do I need them? Paint thinners, do you need them and how to use them? Good starting paint sets Additional must have colours Random essentials that help

[@Sorastro]

Thanks for the kind words! I'll certainly give some thought to producing a "getting started in the hobby" type of video.. :)

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Sorastro, Excellent tutorial! You have given me a few ideas (along with the trandosian hunter SWL) for the Kleggs in Judge Dredd! Best Wishes.

[@Sorastro]

Wonderful! Thank you Johnny :)

[@clawhammr666]

Great job as usual, looks great!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@ghazevedo]

Great video. Plague bearer flseh is one of my favorito contrast colors.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you sir - me too! It's so versatile.. :)

[@benleeper7764]

Incredible paint job, enjoying learning from these. One question, are you adding anything to your paints to stop them from drying on the model? Im trying wet blending, but adding water to get that consistency that yours has just thins the paint to have poor coverage.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Ben! I find adding a little flow enhancer (I use the Daler Rowney one) really helps the Scalecolor paints behave.. 😀

[@leodelprato9551]

Hello sotastro s I hope you are doing well I was wondering when the French subtitles were going to come?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Leo! Well, I'm hoping to earn enough on Patreon to be able to afford to hire someone to add subtitles in various languages, but I'm not there yet... :)

[@dustiiyork3907]

This looks so good !! I wish there was enough time to do every model from crisis protocol , I love these videos 😹

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I hear you.. there are so many awesome models in the game, I just can't keep up! Be aware that I also cover quite a lot of them with PDF guides too: sorastro.com/ 😀

[@scottwallbank4794]

So is the underside of the jacket just being left as base undercoat?

[@Sorastro]

Hey Scott! I can't remember, but I don't see why not really.. 😀

[@chriswallace756]

Do you have any plans on painting infinity miniatures.

[@Sorastro]

Hi Chris! I'm afraid not - I just have too much to cover as it is! :)

[@twitch1965]

Love the water effects, but disappointed in the use of "contrast" paints, particularly with the lab coat, it just doesn't look right with the rest of the miniature.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Eric! I appreciate your honest feedback! I'm happy to agree to disagree RE the use of the Contrast Colours ofc.. :)

[@facresende]

Wonderful work. Better when you use contrast paints. You always show lots of things we can do with them.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Fernando! I certainly think that the Contrast Colours have their uses.. :)

[@Sanvarin]

Where did you get the urban scatter from? I'd really like some, it looks great!

[@Sorastro]

Hi Pat! It's by Javis, and there are a few places online that sell it: www.modelscenerysupplies.co.uk/brands/javis/Battle-Zone-Urban-Scatter-Javis-BZURBAN :)

[@neilbrown2451]

Another one smashed out of the park. Just got me green Goblin and sabre tooth. Did you do a PDF for these ones or planning on a video? Your vids are such an awesome library for us to learn from and motivate us. Much appreciated.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot mate! I've not painted my Sabertooth yet, but I have published a PDF guide for Green Goblin: www.google.com/amp/s/sorastro.com/2020/09/16/2735/amp/ 😀

[@Slimebouncy]

Nice 💙🧡💚🧡😍this is making me smile 💛 great video

[@Sorastro]

Thanks so much! 😀

[@adrianmorgan9608]

Magnificent. Looks like I will be investing in contrast paints. One question. How do you choose your highlight colours? For Example. Why did you choose yellow to highlight the purple instead of white?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Adrian! Well, highlighting just with white increases the values but also desaturates the colour, so I often like to add something else (often yellow) to bring back some luminosity. I also generally like to vary the hue as I move from the shadow tones to the mid tones, then to the highlights to create more beauty and interest. :)

[@amirkushnir9298]

Hi Sorastro, Great video, thank you very much! Which kind of brushes do you use?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Amir! I mainly use the Rosemary & Co Series 8 Size 2: www.rosemaryandco.com/series-8-pointed-round?u=21774e (select "short handle") :)

[@adm5315]

Wowwww

[@giacomoperghem7504]

I love your tutorial!!! I'm just painting this new game and started from your Venom guide. In the future you will make a guide on iron fist?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Giacomo! I don't have plans to cover Iron Fist any time soon - sorry! :)

[@davidtaylor142]

Check out his recent Syrus tutorial. It's super Iron Fist-y

[@Sorastro]

Good call David! 😀

[@davidbright8978]

Do these models come assembled?

[@Sorastro]

Hi David! No sir - assembly is required (ideally with plastic glue, but superglue is also fine). 🙂

[@adamredmond3136]

Fabulous! :)

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Adam! :)

[@stevenewman1213]

Brilliant as usual. Do you know about scale 75 constract paints

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot mate! No, I haven't tried them yet.. 🙂

[@samk2013]

Amazing job as always!!!!!! Can we see Carnage next? :)

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I'll most likely be covering Carnage with a PDF guide soon.. 😀

[@HasteHobbies]

Very gewt!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! 😊

[@danielcarriere6043]

I watch these on my tv, i think my gf is getting tired of me saying…”look at that….man he’s anazing… looks insane.. so nice…” etc…. 🤓

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - awesome! Thanks man 😁

[@cams.2083]

Same! My wife tolerated it up until I try and put on a twitch paint stream then it's game over!

[@MegaAshWilliams]

Answer: However you want to paint him.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks for the insight 🙂

[@MisterZero71]

Mark, you made a mistake. You didn't mix your paint for the tongue and mouth area - you only used one colour! School boy error, don't do it again. ;p

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - noted 😄

[@MisterZero71]

Seriously though, awesome as usual. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks mate! Much appreciated 😁

[@evanstrong4064]

LEEZARDS

[@Sorastro]

Ha 😄
