Always enjoy these videos. I love the models but I find watching you paint them very soothing...i clearly have to get my stress down!😁

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - thanks mate! :)

[@ARCHANGEvideo]

Amazing ! Can't wait for the rest of Journey in middle earth too !

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Raph! Watch for the next LOTR JIME video coming later this month... :)

[@skizzlep]

Absolutely lovely 😍. Dr. Strange is one of my favorites and I adore what you've done with the spell effect. I love your talents in the studio🎙as well as with the brush. Just picked up the album Rise on Amazon!!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate that :)

[@emilianofisanotti9639]

I just searched for a new Sorastro video after a few weeks of abstinence... Couldn't help the "HEL* YEAH!!" when I found he's doing Dr. Strange:) Time to get that coffee ready!!!:)

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - excellent, thanks! :)

[@RideDatDonkey97]

That looks really awesome. Dr. Strange is one of my favorites

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot buddy! :)

[@Nostro233]

Thank you, Sorastro, for another great tutorial! Amazing result!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it :)

[@scottywan82]

This is first of your videos I have seen and I just want to compliment you on the breakdown at the opening. That is a great idea and I wish more tutorial videos would do that! Great job!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like "steps overview" at the beginning. I think it's useful to give the viewer an overall sense of the process before going into the details. 😀

[@20ajl35]

This was great. The steps made the process seem much more possible and easy to understand. Thanks for the cool tutorial.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it easy to follow :)

[@MegaRadisic]

Excellent work as always! I am learning so much from these videos :D Thank you!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Aleksandar! I really appreciate that :)

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

As someone who has spent a lot of time painting Necron's and had forgotten what to do with the paint's at my disposal, I humbly thank you for demostrating amazing tutorials on what could be achieved! I had thought the red dress I was painting looked a little flat, so I'm gonna lift the lessons from the cloak straight onto there.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Philip! I'm glad you found the video useful :)

[@NotoriousVIN]

What a coincidence. My doctor strange came yesterday and waiting to paint him

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! :)

[@srsgoblin]

Its been a minute since you've uploaded. Enjoy your holidays? I hope things find you well on a personal level, Sorastro. And not that you need the ego boost but this is brilliant work as always.

[@Sorastro]

Thank you kindly - I'm doing OK thanks! January is a bit crazy because both my kids (and myself!) have our birthdays, but we've made it! :)

[@LalegiondelTuria]

Awesome work, like a magician you are!

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - thank you! :)

[@gweledombe3385]

Ohh man. This figure is amazing. You're doing great job. Keep it up 👍👍👍

[@Sorastro]

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

[@stevenewman1213]

Thanks for video was not sure of the figure. After watching I quite like the figures now.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Steve! I really appreciate that :)

[@mattbianchi8281]

Your videos are always a joy to watch! Even if I don’t have the models, watching your techniques and hearing your commentary always gives me things to improve. I was wondering, how do you think the paints on your palette? I don’t see any thinner or water being added. Thanks!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Matt! These days I like to thin with water with a little Daler Rowney Flow Enhancer added 😀

[@Dmitry_Solid]

What a cool spell effect, peek-a-boo🙂

[@Sorastro]

Ha - thanks! :)

[@greedymrc8760]

Totally nailed it! But we need more Kingdom Death 🥸🙏🏻

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Marc! Yeh, the problem is that my KDM game is currently stranded at my friend's house from when we were last playing (before the current lockdown)... :)

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

man, I wish I had seen this video before I just finished my Strange. I used Orange Leather mixed with the Sahara Yellow and I must say I really do love how the Violet works with it in this instance with the cape and the blue. Mixing violet in the shade really unified it. I'm not saying I dislike the Orange Leather look, but I am in love with the unified look the Violet pulled off here, even with what I thought to be incredibly odd with the Sahara Yellow. Nice work!!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you! There really are endless options when painting huh.. 😁

[@mats2286]

Looks Amazing 👌 !

[@Sorastro]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like what I did with him :)

[@henrikdagil3684]

Sir Sorastro, once again you nailed it 🖖

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Henrik! :)

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - thanks buddy! :)

[@13Robzilla]

The most fun video you've made. That particle effect killed it! Thank you for sharing and please stay safe!

[@Sorastro]

Thank you mate! I'm really glad you liked it :)

[@johnnycooper7019]

Dear Sorastro, A very enjoyable tutorial. I do think that the spell effect detracts 'something' from the figure, but that's possibly due to my personal taste.

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Johnny! I also have mixed feelings about the rings to be honest. :)

[@W.edgewargames]

The brush magician at it again. Thanks mate, I've learned so much from your channel. is there a discord or other place where I could share my work with the community?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Joshua! I do have a Discord but it's only for patrons at the moment (partly just to help keep things manageable!). Feel free to share your stuff with me on FB, IG or Twitter though (links in the video description). :)

[@guillaumebellanger9716]

I really can t wait to get my ks of marvel united. Dr étrange is one the first mini i want to paint.

[@Sorastro]

Awesome! :)

[@brianvanveldhoven]

Another great Video! Out of all the models you've covered so far, which was your favourite to paint or were you most proud of as a finished product? Also which game out of all that you've covered did you enjoy the most playing or are you still playing!

[@Sorastro]

Hi Brian! I think I'd have to say Thor, and I enjoy all of the games I cover (which is the main reason I choose to paint them!), but I guess it's fair to say that I currently most enjoy playing Marvel: Crisis Protocol. :)

[@brianvanveldhoven]

@@Sorastro That is a very lovely model and very well painted. Your videos made me want to up my own paint game and got me into Star Wars Legion. Keep up the great work looking forward to every video you post. Greetings from the flat lands.

[@Sorastro]

@@brianvanveldhoven Thank you sir! I'll keep doing my best :)

[@Biorythym]

Excuse me, at 2:17 what color did you add for the skin tone? Edit: I think I got it, but the skin tone is still a bit darker than I wanted, any advice on how to lighten it up without caking a whole additional layer on his face?

[@HTphyzycs]

Quick question about using the air brush for priming. What PSI is the best to use when applying? Also, are you doing short quick bursts or longer drawn out spraying patterns? Love your videos!

[@Sorastro]

Thanks! I've actually managed to break the pressure gauge on my compressor so I don't really know what my PSI is! I guess I use fairly long sprays, but I do rock the trigger back and forth a bit to "pulse" the paint out a bit, and I keep the figure and the airbrush moving all the time.. :)

[@thomasguntert2818]

Very nice work! Are you also planning to paint the 4 pre-release miniatures like He-Man on Battlecat of the coming Master of the Universe game "Fields of Eternia" ?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks Thomas! I'm not planning to paint any He-Man figures at the moment.. sorry! :)

[@philliprichards3769]

Hey there Sorastro, I am a big fan of your work and love your painting guides and videos. I was looking through your videos and pdf guides, I was unable to find any of the darker skinned MCP characters: Blade, Luke Cage, Storm, Killmonger are the most obvious examples with dark brown skin that I would love to learn how to paint using your techniques. I would especially recommend doing Killmonger, he is mostly dark brown skin, that way I can learn your technique for this skin tone and apply to the others?

[@Sorastro]

Thanks a lot Philip! I think I'd like to paint Nick Fury and Blade some time for sure. In the mean time you might find some useful ideas in my Star Wars: Legion Lando episode.. 😀

[@philliprichards3769]

Thanks Sorastro keep up the good work. Looking forward to Nick and I'll check into Lando!

[@TheGodOfWarhammer]

@sorastro’s gaming, do you think it’s practical to paint each piece, then assemble it so you can focus on each part without rising the colors running?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Jesse! I personally like to fully assemble my figures before painting when possible, unless there are parts that are going to be difficult to get to etc 🙂

[@RyanF1313]

Again - so many thanks! 😘 - But will you ever get to MODOK? 😱🙏

[@Sorastro]

Hi Ryan! I'm sure I will; I'm just mostly painting them in the order that my patrons vote for them over on Patreon :)

[@RyanF1313]

@@Sorastro That makes sense 😂 I just fear you will make a guide after I have painted mine 🤯 (I cant wait forever)

[@MisterNorthernCanuck]

I'm curious, did you stop using washes gradually as your skill level grew because you feel you have more control with very precise and thourough highlighting?

[@Sorastro]

Hi! I think it's more to do with what level of painting I'm aiming for; for speed painting minions etc I'll still happily use washes (or the newer Contrast Colours - see my next LOTR video!), but for single hero-type figures like Dr Strange I prefer a more controlled approach. :)

[@Zodiac8871]

My SC Caspian Blue has little to no coverage. Is it a bad batch or is there something I'm missing/not doing correctly? I used a vortex mixer without an agitator as I'm worried it will harm the color. But could it just be not mixed well enough?

[@Sorastro]

Hi! It does indeed sound like it simply isn't mixed well enough; I've not had any problems with dropping and agitator into mine yet.. 🙂

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

That is amazing. Always enjoy your vids, but the Marvel stuff goes the extra step for me. I've now gone and bought the starter set and a couple of boosters today...

[@Sorastro]

Thank you my friend! They're incredibly fun to paint and really give us an opportunity to stretch ourselves as painters :)

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

@@Sorastro I'll keep on watching what you do and, if you don't mind, I'll be nicking a few tips along the way :)

[@Sorastro]

@@BadgerLovingFluffster Steal away buddy! :)

[@jimbowoodward3875]

I think a new Sorastro video release has more cultural significance than if they were to discover new commandments.

[@Sorastro]

Ha ha - thanks Jimbo :D

[@paologarces8520]

Will there be a video coming out for Spider Miles as well? I saw a painted one on the intro :)

[@Sorastro]

Hi Paolo! I'm afraid I just painted Miles for fun one night, so didn't document it - sorry! :)

[@paologarces8520]

Haha no worries, I think the same principles for painting Peter will still apply :)

Awesome, as usual! Do you play the games you paing?

[@Sorastro]

Thank you Juanfran! That's actually the main reason I paint them; I only paint figures for games that I play, and I only play games if I've painted the figures :)

@@Sorastro good reason. I do the same, but my minis are more stained than painted... Very good job!

[@nictay6180]

Honestly I really wanna try and paint my miniatures like your videos show, but this is the first time I've ever painted miniatures. Painting is such a complex art and I've hardly even painted anything before, would you recommend that I try to follow your example or try something else?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Nic! One of the great things about this hobby is that it can be as complicated or as involved as you like. For my Marvel series I'm indulging myself with some fairly advanced painting that I wouldn't necessarily recommend for a beginner, but if you look at my Lord of the Rings series, you'll find some nice simple techniques that you can achieve good results with even if you're new to the hobby: kzbin.info/aero/PL6xOeNhrVj9ubJb-dNd-S_M4G3jRGrsBJ Or start with some zombies - they're super easy and fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn6yhaCFmM1-r7M So my advice? Start simply, have fun, and then take things as far as you like depending on how much you find yourself enjoying the process :)

[@nictay6180]

@@Sorastro Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate it.

[@Sorastro]

No problem! 😀

[@miguelmora7564]

I hate to be a bother and ask such a simple question, but do you use the short or the long version of the Rosemary and Co. brushes?

[@Sorastro]

Hi Miguel! No bother at all - it's the "short" handles you're after 😀

[@mrbarrygadgie]

Was just wondering what make and size of brush your using.. thanks

[@Sorastro]

Hi Michael - there should be a link in the video description for that, but I use a Size 2 Series 8 by Rosemary and Co :)

[@mrbarrygadgie]

@@Sorastro thanks just always marvel at the skill with long brush bristles

[@maroonlion2150]

Just curious, I’m a huge fan of marvel and miniature games, so is this game really fun to play m.

[@Sorastro]

Hi! It really is fun to play! It's a good idea to check for updated cards and such on the Atomic Mass Games website 😀

[@captainbi-rownlee4752]

Quick question: how come you didn't use a wash?

[@Sorastro]

Hi! Generally when I'm aiming for a higher standard like I am here I don't tend to use washes as I prefer a "cleaner", more controlled look :)
