[@debelizmaj1203]

Bress the Barbarian, with his 32 years, was the oldest warrior in his tribe...

So Jingle is also served on a Viking Long boat too. I knew he was hiding something! LOL!

[@mhoop1]

Mount him on a 'my little pony' body for the world's most confusing centaur

[@enz025]

Interesting fact using ipa to apply the miliput, I used to work in electronic engineering and we used it to clean flux away from solder joints and connections that would eventually corrode it not washed!

[@brianbarrett6879]

I have been painting, building models and figures for over 50 years. You are getting better Jingles. Nice job.

[@MrLapidary]

A suggestion if I may. The large veins bulging out, should have a blue color to them. Look at the back of your hand or the under side of your wrist to see what i mean. They need to be a pale blue, but strong enough to be seen blue, with a ( I guess) wash of flesh tone over it. Just my humble opinion.

[@PSPmaster321]

Your wrist veins are quite different to the veins on your shoulders/biceps. Look at bodybuilders, you will notice that their bulging veins are not blue.

[@MrLapidary]

@@PSPmaster321 I understand that the skin on the hand and wrist is thinner than on the body, but I also have seen many body veins show blue as well. I was a paramedic for 21 years and stuck many of them.

[@vladdrakul7851]

Very good Jingles. As you rightly say, your best work ever and really quite good. Your learning fast- The statue immediately reminds me of Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn, one of my absolute favorite Jedi. He was the smart one who loved 'little Ani' and knew the now parentless boy needed love and positive emotions not just suspicion and contempt. If he had been Anakin's Master would have kept Anakin on the light side with an understanding not shown by Mace Windu or the later regretful Yoda. However Obi Wan DID learn this and so made sure Luke was raised in a loving family FIRST!

[@danielr.l.mccullough600]

Jingles: We're going to apply a glaze to the figure. Railway modellers: Visible confusion

[@TheFatcat502]

Seeing you improve Jingles is a true inspiration

[@butchs.4239]

You're getting really good at this.

[@Mass_hole508]

13:15 This is what i imagine Odin would look like. Looks absolutely great Jingles.

[@Othurin]

Cut out one eye and maybe

[@MrFleem]

Maybe from before he traded his eye and all that?

[@bravocharlie6723]

Superb work, sir. Thank you for another inspiring model!

[@stephenz7238]

When world of tanks music is playing behind young jingles🥰

[@SpikesOmega]

You can't fool us Jingles. We all know thats really just a figure of you when you LARP.

[@SpeakDemon]

So, if Jingles is the Barbarian... what does that make Rita? The Bard?

[@ThomasSalmon]

Yihaaa jingles this was a masterpiece!! Took me right back to learning how to paint lead figures back in the 80's :)

[@davidburton2229]

nice work my dear gnome, just a couple tips..... fill in holes before priming.... do eyes last... paint entire eye black and then add the white the sides of the pupil - this is the easiest way to do eyes (20yrs exp here)

[@benhillman1673]

More Workshop When????

[@davidbarrass]

so now we know what Jingles looks like with out his shirt on, and indeed why he's called mighty

[@FirefoxEzo]

when you tab to check to see if you left tanks running in the background, God damnit jingles

[@spazmoidhunter6785]

Really good jingles you can see a clear progression from your videos.

[@realkekec4028]

I wouldn't call him Young Jingles,but very Buffed Jingles :)

[@FrankHeeremans42]

Looking good jingles im impressed by your improvement love these videos. Its really inspiring me.

[@1985belmondo]

Old YT Comments Section: "We could listen to Jingles describing even paint drying!" Jingles: "Be carefeul what You wish for, You might just get it."

[@larryfontenot9018]

I mentioned this on Facebook, but yes, I only had a few criticisms about this figure. Since you already know what they are, I won't repeat them. Mostly what I had to say was praise, because this is leaps and bounds better than your last figure and is a sign that yes, your effort in learning how to paint is paying off big. Now, then. I threatened to post a lecture on blending, and it's time to pony up. Before I begin, while I assume you know what tinting and shading mean, but just to make sure we are on the same page: in essence, tinting is taking a base color and making it lighter and shading is taking a base color and making it darker. So... Why blend? Skin, clothing, leather, hair and so on are not monolithic colors. Because of natural variations in skin tones, highlights and shadows, natural surfaces tend to have a wide variety of colors to them. Blending allows you to apply those in a way that looks right. Blending is a smooth transition from one color to another. How a painter achieves those transitions depends on what they want the end result to look like. You're already using one of those techniques -- glaze blending. Glaze blending is a technique that achieves good results without a lot of mixing and does a good job for mob figures. Another popular method is wet blending, a technique where you paint a light color and a dark color with a space between them. Then you drag the two colors and mix them through the gap until they are lighter on the one side and darker on the other. Think of it as mixing a medium color on the model rather than your palette. A third method is two-brush blending. It's a variation of wet blending where you have one brush with the lighter color and another with the darker color. You use the brushes to paint your two color regions and then use the light brush to bring that color down into the darker and vice-versa. A fourth technique, and the one I learned first, is to have a painting brush to apply pigments and a clean brush to move it. This is one of the most work-intensive methods. First, you apply a base color to the entire surface, be it skin, clothing, what have you. The base coat should be a medium color, halfway between the darkest and lightest shadows and highlights. Then comes the real work. Using a dark version of your color or black, you mix a shade that's one or two steps darker than the base. Starting at a midpoint along the surface toward a crease or fold, you paint that color over the base. While it's still wet, you take your clean brush, dampen it, and then start dragging the pigment over toward the midpoint, but not quite all the way. The idea is to fade the color until the transition between the shade and the base is as imperceptible as you can make it. Then you mix another shade that's one or two steps darker than the previous shade, and repeat. This gets done two or three times depending on the amount of surface you have to cover and how dark you want the creases or fold shadows to be. While blending the colors, clean the brush occasionally to keep it from loading up with too much pigment. Then you do the same thing using tinting. Mix a tint of the base color that's one or two steps lighter than the base and apply it a little way inside the area of base color you left while shading, and then blend with the clean brush. Do that two or three times until you reach the peak of the highlight. So, what you end up with is, in the case of a muscle, a series of concentric rings that move from dark to light with the edges faded to transparency so that they can't be distinguished. You can apply patches of other colors and blend them outward for variations of skin tone such as the reddish patches often found on human skin, or other colors for other surfaces. While this guy on KZbin doesn't cover that particular technique, but he does talk about techniques one, two and three. His video is mainly geared for mob figures, but it's still pretty good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWmXn6OsiKmjqas

[@Ben1159a]

You got skills Jingles, he looks fantastic.

[@p917pilot]

Beautifully done! I wish I had the time to get back into modeling and the patience to do half as good!

[@4ngu54110tt]

Yeah...this is something you should keep doing...you're hitting this out of the ball park Jingles. Don't stop😊.

[@DarkPhoenixDack125]

Young Jingles huh? That explains a lot Also, now I need Jingles to voice a character like this in a game...

[@DarlockAhe]

I must say, Jingles, your progress is amazing. A bit of advice, add some blue to the lower part of the face, some red'ish tones to the nose area and bit of yellow to the forehead. And in general, don't be afraid to go for higher contrast.

[@cookoo4cocopuffs221]

12:12 Nice WoT music. Fits pretty well

[@nazamroth8427]

It is certainly better than what I could do, but is it just me, or does his flesh look like it was... well... pained on? I mean the texture. It does actually look like the paint on my wall, not like flesh. The same happened with the leather, but it fits right in there.

[@kingscrub3386]

This guy looks like Geralt went off on a bear wrestlemania tourney with the soul purpose of yeeting them out existence.

[@dannyhare6951]

Looks damn good. Well done. Young Jingles is a studly sort. I look forward to the next one. Be safe. D

[@stevia_man2060]

Dude that world of tanks soundtrack at the end is fantastic.

[@Cziro_]

Soo barbarian Jingles needs a companion....rogue Rita?:) Mayby You should do a cosplay of him for this years halloween?XD

[@k.h.s.finland671]

Jingles could you do a workshop tour next wednesday?

[@Jaceric2]

+1

[@Raycheetah]

No, that's only 1/2 of Bress, the Barbarian. He ain't gonna be goin' dancing, that's for sure! =^[.]~=

[@therealkillerb7643]

This really does look like Jingles; if he had hair, and muscles, and was much better looking... uncanny!

[@Shatterwings060]

wow... also nice add with the world of tanks intro music.

[@freetolook3727]

Model looks like somebody I used to work with.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Looks pretty good Jingles.

[@korbell1089]

As a Brit I am surprised you went with Bress the Old Barbarian instead of Cohen the Barbarian! Now as someone who either lost the skill or never acquired it the skill to paint figures, I think you did a great job on him.

[@danosverige]

Got a vision of Conan saying "OY VAY!" instead of "CROM!" there lol.

[@BootsontheTable]

Wow it’s been a long time since I watched old Jingles (fell out of love with WOT) and so I had no idea that you did models. Great to see!

[@Dekelbarr]

Looks good man. Very well done.

[@porkfriedluke]

Mmmm yeah. Paint that barbarian daddy jingles

[@gordonmcillroy455]

GJ Jingles nice paint job.

[@Kompoism]

Awesome job Jingles!

[@yalelingoz6346]

This fella is looking good.

[@sepilok8278]

Hi jingles. Looks amazing. Just as a thing, veins tend to have a dark blue tint in humans. Your progress has been inspiring

[@x_quinn_x9179]

Did you see the Mighty Fairy Jingles defender of the HP in the latest WOWS video?

[@SuperDominic4]

You painting La Charra has inspired me to get a bust from Etsy called Seiren

[@addedcheese]

Time to grow a beard like that jingless

[@faktor_leather]

I am sorry Jingles, but at least the theory behind leather you got wrong. Given that it is barbarian, he would probably have the leather died through and through due to the tanning process which means it is not possible to worn the color from the edges. However, if it would be a lighter brown originally, it would get darker by wearing it and then the scratches would get lighter when new. As it is it seems cheap to my eye as leather from H&M or something. Don't get me wrong, the model is amazing you are so much ahead of me but the leather... :D PS.: Check vegetable tanned leather or J&FJ Baker & Co Ltd tannery for future

[@TrickiVicBB71]

I really like this series

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

"Jingles", I dare you to put an florescent arpeggio tattoo on him.

[@thepeanut880]

rita might just kill him for that

[@theamazinggoldfish8713]

@@thepeanut880 Orrrrrr, she might want to put a black light tattoo on Jingles!😆,

[@redthunderbolt3962]

Looks good Paul

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I wonder if the isopropanol+putty trick will work with something like Apoxie Sculpt...? Will experiment once I have a project for Apoxie Sculpt (yet another epoxy putty/clay). Watching your painting techniques is oddly giving me ideas for Photoshop, which is the part of Adobe's Creative Cloud I use the least in work (aside from cropping the occasional company photo).

[@NstHarlequin]

Great progress in a very short time!

[@donosprey8754]

I don't know if I'm crazy, but I was going to buy some paints from citadel and they were out of stock on every single item. I mean I guess it's reasonable, but now I have to supplement other paints for the scale model I'm working on.

[@ScottKenny1978]

Eh, I really prefer Vallejo paints for the most part. Citadel/GW for the technical colors, though.

[@eyema_pierat8993]

It looks great - nice work

[@DannyHeywood]

I'm so sorry to hear about his legs, do they sell wheelchair accessories?

[@Linerunner99]

Bress asked the legs not be included... he had skipped leg day too often and was ashamed. Said, and I quote: "Not going to pose looking like Bob Parr."

[@ELCADAROSA]

@@Linerunner99, he sued his legs for non-support, but lost.

[@shogunnate7724]

Looks awesome bud!

[@Slaitaar]

Or use Contrast paint a and be done for lunch 😉 kidding although adding contrasts to your range will speed things up a lot. With good other techniques

[@csdn4483]

One suggestion Jingles, the light you're using makes things look a little harsh. I'd suggest either making a light box for showing or get a warmer toned light.

[@thesystima]

Holy heck Jingles!

[@Executioner9000]

That is incredible. You might actually be getting good at this Jingles...

[@ODST122]

Damn that’s impressive

[@Brynnhavak]

Nice job!

[@zorodex5873]

@jingles have a look at zenithal pre-highlighting for larger busts like this

Dude looks like jingles hit the gym

[@tawelwchgaming8957]

when you started to play the music that is in WOT i was so confused, because I had WOWS open...

[@NikolasCaven]

Yay jingles creative video!

[@darthimperius2865]

Reminds me of my first D&D character

[@jedi0220]

Well done good Sir! :-)

[@vogonjelc]

All that sweat on leather straps. You need some dark shades.

[@kayakenter]

Very nice

[@SWIFTY_WINS]

Pretty cool, the highlights on his pectoral muscles are too bright though as well as the abs. I thought the skin almost looked better before you even did those highlighted areas honestly.

[@ScottStathis]

Kind of looks like Jingles on steroids to me.

[@zxrider9246]

Looks like a Nord Dragonborn.

[@curiousentertainment3008]

Jingles: Uploads a video at 2:00 am Me: Trying to sleep. Me: Damnit

[@Darac6800]

Hi Jingles i got a nice idea for your next diorama, It is from iconical movie called Kelly's Heroes, u could do Odballs Sherman diorama ;)

[@RedXlV]

I think "Buff Jingles" is more accurate.

[@PilotMcbride]

WTH!!! That's ME!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@psychozulu]

Holy shit that looks so good! Are you paying to skip levels or something?

[@vidaett]

Love Conan the barbarian!

[@robertjackson9050]

Hello from Los Angeles

[@jscanlan22]

blue or blue/green for blood vessels

[@Hedlum]

Just wondering Jingles, but have you thought about assembling and painting a model ship of some sort?

[@THiNK103088]

From the thumbnail I thought it was a really beefed up version of Geralt lol

[@davebuts1921]

That looks a bit like me when I try to give my cat his worming tablet.

[@6baenre165]

You forgot the legs Jingles!Or did you purchase it half price? Nice job by the way 😉 Like these new Wednesday videos

[@mty2803]
