I challenged artist on Fiverr to COPY my impossible Warhammer

[@Infinitevacuum]

Hi everyone! It's Javi (Javipaintsminis)! Thanks a lot for your words, I'm happy you liked my paintjob and conversion! It has been a pleasure to take part of the video :) The truth is that I don't think I understood the task very well, hahaha, I thought I simply had to make a version of Lukas' piece but not copy it 100%, otherwise I would have removed the hair and the eagle from the chestplate! Keep your brushes sharp!

[@waldo_paints]

It's really a bit abstract. For example, I did not add more pigments or that osl because once done it seems to me to dirty the paint with so many pigments and that osl looks like rust and very forced. I just did what I thought was right. Congratulations to all the painters, we have very good artists and especially in Spain😊

The quality of Fiverr artists has gone up so much over the years and I actually think your channel profiling them has helped bring in more talent to the platform. Very cool.

[@tassosmks]

What drives talent out of fiverr tho is that 20% commission.

[@Cervando]

Javi was my favourite. The staff alone was awesome. However the last one was the best value by far.

[@GanjaCoyote]

Agreed Javi's is just stunning his highlighting is amazing. I'm willing to bet good money that waldo_paints just realized that they can charge more for their work LOL.

​@@GanjaCoyoteSsssshuush, nobody tell Waldo 😜

[@roco8420]

I prefer Jeremy 's one, much more details and the special weapon is very very cool too.

[@Marconius6]

My main conclusion from this video is that mini painters don't get paid nearly enough...

[@TheToxicP]

Pretty much the truth for most artists and people who produce hand crafted stuff. Most stick to doing it as a hobby vs. an actual career / profession because it can be damn hard convincing the general public to cough up the dough for original works when they're used to mass produced prices.

[@darkdarius]

The difference in tones could be due to the monitor settings in which every artist saw the reference picture. It`s hard to tell the exact real pigments from a jpg

[@WordHammer40k]

Small part of me wants to paint myself. Large part of me wants well painted minies ...

[@neilgibbs3880]

[@crazypenguinman]

Hey, I'm on the same struggle bus

[@arishiakoneko]

It's not too hard to get to a level you can be at least proud of. I used to paint minis when I was much younger, and while my skill never EVER came close to approaching this level of skill, what I did put out I was at least happy with. So, with a bit of practice, you can at least churn out an army you'd be happy to field that folks would still be impressed by =) There's some pretty easy tricks for painting nice minis as long as you're not hoping to win national championships. I got good enough to win local shows XD

[@atracin]

All of them were amazing. Its crazy how talented these artists are.

[@LSRibs]

I really enjoy when this type of content comes out. It is cool to see how different artists paint.

[@ChuckThatNorris]

This video adds to the proof that Lukas is an amazing painter

[@pdubb9754]

The mini Lucas painted is my favorite. The details of the sculpted tabard won me over. The sculpt has a realistic flow to it with shadows, lighting, and dusty pigment adding to the realism.

[@fatal_bull]

If you could win the painting on, candles alone.. the wax job on the Waldo mini if fantastic! Bravo.

[@tronic4456]

I gotta say Lukas did such an amazing job painting this miniature here. The painting level in insane, id love to be able to produce anything even close to that. It also reminds me a little bit of the grimdark painting style, which is a absolute favourite!

[@juntapiezas]

They all win in my heart because they have what it's important in life: your money.

[@bertilandersson6606]

You should have a price category as well. Maybe a +/-15% of total adjustment for price.

[@witeshade]

Tbh I don't think that's a good idea. Being an artist is hard enough without further incentivizing them to lowball their prices. People are going to pay what they can afford, and people are going to charge what they can live with, and having a high profile youtuber giving bonus points for cheapness doesn't benefit anyone!

[@bertilandersson6606]

Well, the argument is true in the reverse, someone that charge less is not going to put in the same effort as someone that charge twice the amount. @@witeshade

[@CalAndAly]

Javi added chains on the sword hand so def forgive him for leaving the Aquila! That’s a super niche BT thing!

[@BarokaiRein]

Anyone charging 50 dollars for a paint job that actually looks good is vastly underpaid. Like, they bought the paints and brushes, usually getting more expensive tools like an airbrush as well. After material costs, these guys make like 7 dollars an hour, assuming they work on the model for about 4 hours, which is insanely low wage for a highly specialized job.

[@tiffanycosset]

Even worse, they had to convert it; I know I am on the slower side, but there's no way I would've been done the painting with after 4 hours. At best I'd have the mini assembled, the sculpting/cleaning/sanding done and maybe primed/base coated. I'm weirded out by how cheap all of them seemed for an unclear set of instructions which included more than just painting.

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

Jonas had a truly unique style of painting if you asked me. I actually really dig his own sort-of "3D comic book" style of model painting.

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

[@v02max75]

So you CAN use paper for miniature work! That is very interesting to see. I love the idea of having dynamic parts on models (chains/tabbard's/etc) so that when you move them around, they have parts that move the way they would normally. Not make or break for a model, but it's a cool "extra".

[@BioClone]

It is a bad Idea ussually... Moving parts will hit other surfaces, what equals to chop paint... Part of a great posing is to give momentum and movement to the character actions... having dinamic parts ussually ruins this (imagine a exterminator with chains as skirt, and doing a pose of "I will chop your head with my axe hit" ussually you would want a fixed pose for the chains, just like how you like moving capes. Paper have been used many times but ussually it gets saturated of cyanocrytale glue so it gets rigid.

I feel like the fine dust effect was probably one of the most important things making that piece look so realistic and no one managed to get eve close. No sand on the fists, no sand on the swords. You scored them way too high.

[@wastedart1794]

Omg Squidmar got and idea, what if you and Lucas made and army of 1000 point army each . BUT every mini in the army is painted by a fan of yours. Rules should be like Rule 1. Name the mini under the base. Rule 2. Lucas and you decide the color theme for each of your army with a primary color and a secondary color. 3.You paint your HQ choice for your own army 4. maybe artist name also? While you wait for the the paints jobs. You fellas makes an awesome board to play on. Before the game you evaluate the paint job maybe pick a top 3 or 1 for each army. Send the winder a T-shirt or something in a video :) AND THEN BATTLE! Fight until one Army's are death Remember to make kill track on each mini an apricate the name! RP for the pleps After the battle of course one of you should be punished. Up to you how.. Just see it done xD

honestly they look good, but only loano's was very good. the rest kinda look like what we did back in the day with a random 3€ brush and normal colours just added over each other; with no special skills etc. and in mass (like 20 models at a time, was warhammer fantasy back then) so as professionals taking 100+ € per model painted it doesn't seem very impressive. i mean 1-2 models should be an entire day off work. remember we did like 20+ models paint in a day or two (since some required wait time), and again while maybe a bit less precision work, the looks where on par with the rest. loano's was really good, that was 2 steps up from what we did. 2:22 that guy seems on another lvl. look at that treant in the middle bottom. look how much colour nuance is in there and how extremely beautiful every detail is, only the skulls on the shoulder and between legs could have been improved, and the leave between legs; the rest is basically perfect. insanely high skilled work. i would use him over the rest if that's the general lvl
