The SURPRISINGLY EASY way to make AMAZING BANNERS

In this video I do a couple experiments in image transfers and attempt to get a cool image I printed out, to transfer over to a banner that's perfect for Warhammer.

[@EonsOfBattle]

this video slaps!!! super interesting, very unique, and gets right to the point.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks so much! super appreciate it, I'm a big fan of your videos

[@timokrahl5620]

This is SUCH a creative (and previously unapproached) way to deal with this topic as there were basically only 2 options until now. Freehand or Waterslide (which can be a pain if you try to make them yourself) - the Results look SO good. I acutally like seeing the DPI-Dotting from the prints - it gives the images the feeling as if they were painted on some "rougher" fabric which makes absolute sense for Banners and totally works towars that realistic look instead against it.

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks so much! Super glad you enjoyed the video. I was digging the look of the dots also, and glad it kinda brings something extra to the table

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

agreed completely - you can even apply weave pattern watermark to the image too and this enhances this effect.

[@matts1166]

Back years ago (2005ish), back when metal miniatures were a thing and banners were just poles with cross-beams at the top, I just found a bunch of banners online, printed them on paper, got them to wrinkle with a little bit of water, and gave them a few coats of rattle can Krylon clear paint.

[@Derpderpnik]

The one on the plastic model turned out the best, which is the complete opposite of what I would've expected. The printer dots ended up looking exactly like fabric. It's absolutely perfect.

[@Zanzibrush]

yeah I was kinda nervous leading up to that one, glad you like it, thanks!

[@Biggles369]

Yet another lightbulb moment as I now know how I'm going to FINALLY finish my titan the way I always saw it in my mind! This will work on those big armour plates. Thank you for another great enabling video.

[@SmallSoldier]

This is excellent! Never thought something like this would work so well. Great tutorial!

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks! glad you found it useful

[@rowarth12]

Fantastic, will definitely try this out. Thanks!

[@andrewdrauth]

This is amazingly cool. I love it when people bring tried and true methods to new mediums.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks for watching! super glad I could show something new + weird

[@JuliusCaesar888]

WOW!! This was super original and really neat dude. Nice idea, you can boost the aesthetics of an army big time with this type of technique.

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you! yeah I really like how approachable it is and how anyone could make a cool banner with it

[@ThisIsMonkeyy]

That looks amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@Nortic111]

What an excellent result!

[@Balambambuny]

That last one looks INSANE. I really dig the texture of the print, it totally looks like the fibers of the cloth. The accidental discovery of the glueing pen is also great, I think I might get one if only to get rid of seam lines. Subscribed!

[@terrydactyl2077]

Right? I struggle to paint texture that passes as cloth. This technique does it so well for the picture at the least

[@Zanzibrush]

really glad you’re digging the textures, appreciate the view + sub!

[@Slouworker]

Just get a bottle of tamiya extra thin, it's the gold standard for gluing models

[@Balambambuny]

I actually use their airbrush cleaner, pretty much the same formula but cheaper and in a bigger bottle. This pen tho seems interesting to me for a more precise aplication. I hate when my "plastic glue" gets where I don't want it and ends up melting some details, so for things like seams looks ideal!@@Slouworker

[@BoothScience]

Amazing! love the methodical description Zanzi!

[@shaneflickinger]

The Mod Podge brand has a specific image transfer medium as well. Feel like I've seen some other wargaming KZbinrs show it off once or twice. Might be another method worth checking out. Really cool video. Thanks!

[@NameIsDoc]

You can make posudo mod podge with white glue and water

[@Zanzibrush]

oh very cool, I’ll have to look into that. thanks for the video + tip!

[@scadian]

Just wanted to suggest this :D

[@omnito]

I think it has Acrylic resin in it as well.@@NameIsDoc

[@Dethectic]

Definitely worth testing, thx for the vid

[@scottywan82]

This is genius! I am really impressed with how it turned out, especially on the beastman banner. Fantastic job!

[@Fogtusk]

So glad the algorithm saw it fit to show me this video and your channel. Super cool technique, instant subscribe. Looking forward to more!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks so much! really glad you enjoyed

[@roryhatfield6696]

Great idea

[@roxell2350]

I love these unconventional methods that pop up from time to time like this or edge highlighting with oil colored pencils. Keep it up 👍

[@MechaTrogd0r]

Very creative and novel approach to this! Nice job.

[@hungryhuskar8451]

Thank you for your contribution!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you for watching!

[@turret75]

Have to try it out now ! :)

[@Karlos11188]

Great video ty

[@bitzbox]

This is such a cool idea

[@somewhereyouarent]

Awesome. SUPER COOL. Thank you.

[@Zanzibrush]

so glad you liked it!

[@mafiamaster100]

Absolutely phenomenal!

[@Zanzibrush]

appreciate it!

[@cetx]

This is amazing. I had no idea this was even possible. Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@mrg2039]

OK, that's just superb! I will definitely be trying this!

[@Zanzibrush]

awesome, thanks!

[@tannergee]

This is amazing!! And it blows me away! This is a breakthrough!!!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you! appreciate the view

[@lnMidnightClad]

This is amazing!

[@jamesfarrell2097]

This kind of thing really brings the hobby forward, awesome work.

[@Zanzibrush]

dang, thank you!

[@SvartElric9]

This is a great idea! Thank you!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you think so!

[@tbl513]

Great tip! I am going to try this for tattoos

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you enjoyed! I'd be curious to know how something at that smaller scale would turn out

[@lorenzovive5801]

This is SO incredible! Thank you for sharing this.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks so much! happy to share, glad you liked it

[@NynesGG]

This works out perfectly, I was just trying to figure out how to do the "tabard" banner for a chaos knight!

[@grimbostink7607]

These look incredible. I've always wanted my 40k back banners to be these highly ornate and intricate designs but never had the raw free-handing skill to pull it off. Thank you for sharing this!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you! and ya that's kind of the perfect situation I was imagining for this technique … just that over the top decorative 40k vibe

[@Kazad22]

Excellent educational material, while looking for some historical decals for the transom of my Czech Hussites, I started to think that maybe I would just print the patterns on a piece of paper and just stick them on, but your technique showed that it can be done better and achieve an amazing result.😊

[@Zanzibrush]

super glad you enjoyed!

[@idrawstuff2767]

fantastic!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@brianv769]

Very cool technique, saving this video. Thanks!

[@Zanzibrush]

[@DaveLPable]

Super cool idea!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you!

[@FHangya]

yes! awesome, thanks so much!

[@Zanzibrush]

for sure, glad you enjoyed!

[@irtehdar2446]

Wow that's cool! This is about the nerdy toy soldier version of Nobel prize worthy! Been doing this hobby for close to 30 years and I've never seen a method this simple for making topnotch uniform banners/shields/cloaks. And it's pretty much free and can be done with pretty much any digital imagery.

[@RisingApe]

Really great technique, thanks for sharing and I will absolutely try this!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks for saying so! hope it goes well

[@ducomaritiem7160]

I tried all of rhose methods, some working better then others depending on you base materiaal. Lately I started using decal printing with the "Bare Metal" brand decal paper. Not printing a whole A4 at once but only printing a tiny picture on a regular A4, then cutting a piece if decal sheet a bit larger and sticking it over the print I just made with dome painters tape. Re-insert the A4 with the decal paper on it in the printer, and reprint your decal, this time exactly on the tiny piece of decal sheet

[@chrisrogue7098]

Very very cool! I’m going to try this immediately! Cheers!

[@Zanzibrush]

so glad you found it helpful!

[@100thmonkey]

I never knew this was possible - Thanks!

[@Zanzibrush]

for sure! thanks for watching

[@nono-ld2dk]

well, ty for this amazing approach! ill be using this on my bloodletters

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks for watching!

[@jevonp]

Only a minute in and please make more videos about art school techniques applied to minipainting ❤😂 this is awesome

[@Autreschoses]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for this nice and well explain tutorial!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad it was helpful! thanks for the view

[@Error898789]

oh wow! this is THE technique I needed for a sistene chapel-style Slaanesh-corrupted chaos knight. thank you!!

[@angelam.stoutart3824]

Try using a blow dryer or a heat gun on low to bend the styrene plastic. It worked great for a 3D print run I did. If you spray matte varnish over the transferred image before painting touch ups it will make the paper residue clear. Fantastic use for this transfer technique

[@nian89]

This is amazing! Fantastic results :)

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks for saying so!

[@TheMrlilcreepz]

Looks really good, reminds me of the magazine collages. Subbed, enjoying your videos!

[@Zanzibrush]

yeah! that’s how it was introduced to me, a way to make collage art

[@Ciryatur]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I thought about this before but only used it to transfer prints to wood, never to a mini. Now I finally have a chance to make an awesome banner for my MESBG Gamling. Thank you again!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you enjoyed!

[@blackgrailminis]

Wow wow wow. Thanks dude. Excellent video

[@Zanzibrush]

for sure! thanks for watching

[@Zanzibrush]

Thank you!

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

Awesome tips! 😀

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you!

[@jhinocide666]

That's such a great idea! Gonna use that one for knight's armor panels!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks! I think that’s a great use case for this

[@mikewinterborn]

Really really amazing tutorial, I will come back after trying!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you!

[@simonhogg5476]

Super novel approach that really leans into the hobby side of things rather than just buying a pre packaged product that does it for you.

[@Zanzibrush]

appreciate you saying so, thanks for watching

[@jeffleason327]

Very cool!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@Crushanator1]

fantastic work. for cleaner projects in the past I did vector art from a laser jet on white cardstock rather than paper. it's slightly thicker so it can hold those gentle curves that a marine or Eldar banner would have. The laser ink lines form just enough of a 3d line that it can assist with keeping paint within the lines, but this is really more for those mid 90s style cartoony banner I love your way of doing the very painterly style banners, and I expect I'll be using this on my Old World project

[@rabenfedersonnenhut]

Shits, that's some hot stuff. I'll use that for 40k chapter decals for sure.

[@garrettward6059]

Earned my sub man, this is awesome. Well done.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks so much!

[@gallusdomesticuskfptechpriest]

I had no idea this was even possible, super cool!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@What2Have4Dinner]

Mind blown...

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you enjoyed the video!

[@a.c.s.6204]

Gotta give this a catchy name like slaphotochop

[@Zanzibrush]

Darn it, I thought "matte medium image transfer" really rolled off the tongue … slaphotochop is pretty good though hahah

[@jeffhildenbrand9796]

Amazing dude! I've never seen this before.

[@Zanzibrush]

so glad I could show something new!

[@SkinnySkull13]

Cool!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks for watching!

[@Ammonitemare1711]

This is such a cool trick!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you enjoyed!

[@glacierrr4743]

Amazing tutorial! I think I'll try and use it on my upcoming HH Blood Angel project for the flat panels on dreadnoughts, drop pods and tanks.

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you! that sounds rad, glad you enjoyed

[@henrikwannheden7114]

Never seen this before. Neat!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad I could show you!

[@NeonFlaming0]

That was dope bro.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks man

[@wodansam75]

i have been wanting to do this on my 3d models but wasent sure how to go about it. this was very helpfull, thanks!

[@Zanzibrush]

glad I could help! thanks for watching

[@mweaver6037]

Thanks. I will have to give it a try at some point. I have not yet attempted any of my own banners.

[@Zanzibrush]

seems like a decent place to start!

[@maxdavidson3655]

[@Wastelander2281]

Totally boss idea, can't wait to try this

[@Zanzibrush]

glad you liked the video!

[@jeckles]

Engagement. You deserve it!

[@Zanzibrush]

super appreciate it!

Impressive!

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@TheKritan91]

wtf dude this is aweseom! Your a god damned genius. Never seen or heard about this before but it looks amazing! Really good work my man ^^

[@Zanzibrush]

appreciate it!

[@whofreakincares1000]

Very cool

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@TheMichaellathrop]

If you can use the program to mirror your smart objects you can get both sides of the banner with the same art with the same tattered edges. Also I think you can get printable water slide transfer paper.

[@samuelbaldwin2184]

Printable waterslide transfers work great and have options for laser jet and ink jet printers

[@GeneralKitastrophe]

Yeah print at home waterslide transfers can work really well

[@Zanzibrush]

yeah that would be cool!

[@Bluecho4]

Really cool.

[@Zanzibrush]

thanks!

[@tienlv03_kevin]

wow it looks great, it's unbelievable, i like it 😍😍😍

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you!

[@samueljackson605]

This has frigging CHANGED my life lol

[@Zanzibrush]

hahah hell ya, thanks for the view!

[@Sanguivore]

Instant sub for the mention of Photopea! I'm always stoked when people show that program love, as it's a lifesaver for any graphic design work! Also, you have a really pleasant and relaxed personality!

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you! glad you're enjoying the videos

[@strategogod]

Bruh just came in and changed the meta

[@Temporal_Assassin]

Great, thanks! I have a 1997 Burger King Frankenstein's Monster I am making into a figure, and I have a Tombstone from Joanne's Halloween things, but it has no marking on front which looks silly, so I have been trying things and looking for ways to get text transferred to it without have to freehand it. I will give this a go! Cheers!

[@Zanzibrush]

oh that sounds super cool

[@Gruntcakes69]

You just won Warhammer 😮

[@thehiddenheretic]

Glad I bought that matte medium now haha

[@Zanzibrush]

hahah love when it works out like that

[@oitoitoi1]

This is absolutely amazing! Will definitely be trying this! Subscribed! "Turn into Richard Grey" lol! I'm former art school too and he's my favourite as well haha

[@Zanzibrush]

haha ya he's the best! glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching.

[@pacer2310]

Pretty cool. I wonder if they would transfer to metal minis. I have some TAGs in infinity that I wanted to put ww2 style nose art pinups on to add sone individuality. Was trying to figure out how to go about it and I think this might be worth a try

[@Zanzibrush]

I think it would totally work as long as there’s a light color as a base, then I’d just do the same process in the video but take your time!

[@joetoenails]

Sickkkkk as hellllll

[@Zanzibrush]

Thanks dude!

[@ColonelSandersLite]

There's a good way to get a much cleaner result that's used in a whole lot of various hobbies. People like transferring things to wood plaques and glass and the like. Anyways, here's what you want to try - Get some of those sheets of blank mailing labels for your printer. Peel all the labels and stuff off of it. You don't want those. Save the shiny backing paper. This is the part you want. Print your design onto the shiny side of the backing paper. Transfer to surface with acryl medium/mod podge/whatever as in this video. Let dry. The paper should peel right off of the design with ease. A couple of notes - Don't forget to mirror your print. Printer settings for glossy photos are generally suggested. You'll probably have to play around to get the best results. The print will be *very* delicate. It will really want come off that paper backing. That's kind of the point. Don't forget that your printer almost certainly does not put any white pigment down. You'll want to apply your print to a white, or at least light, background for best results. Anyways, you can find a million videos of people doing this with just a quick search.

[@Zanzibrush]

Oh ya, that sounds really cool I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

[@blakearius]

Matt medium is so useful.. I bought it ages ago just as a glue for collage. Recently I found its a great way to create washes(with flow aid),A more practical fixative than gloss varnish. and now I find It can do image transfer. My Art store is moving soon and had 40% off all liquitex mediums last week.. so of course the shelves were empty.

[@Zanzibrush]

Yeah I just keep buying bigger containers whenever I need a new one. I end up using it way more than I'd think haha

[@catalyst772]

This is genius

[@Zanzibrush]

thank you!

[@marcumxc]

This is one of the most genius things I’ve ever seen

@@Zanzibrush no no, Thank You!!

Great job! Keep it up and you'll go far with that voice!

[@Zanzibrush]
