World of Warcraft Alexstraza Collectible Painting

[@SomeKindaManthing]

You're one of about 3 people on YT that actually post engaging sculpture/scale/statue painting, so I can't believe goobers ditch at 4 minutes. I'd love a 45s section talking about supporting particular files, issues to look out for, resin used, prep work, etc. in each video.

[@LokoInTheHouse2]

Looking good

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you dude.

[@Ein_Samson]

Dude, you nailed it! The skin colour fits perfect for her. Keep on with your great work! 👍👍👍

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude. It was a debate. And now I kinda like it haha it was a good choice in the end.

[@andyroberts3202]

The skin tone really suited the model theme giving it another worldly look not human. Also like the way you did the flames using a clear resin then the inks am defo trying that on my next print with flames very realistic keep up the good work my dad

[@robertlock7088]

Love watching and learning how to improve my skills and acquire a bit more confidence. Thank you

[@Groundeffected]

Super glad to help dude

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Great model and painting, I used to love playing WOW, played for about 15 years lol 🙂

[@Groundeffected]

Haha I played a tiny bit when I was younger but never again since then.

[@danaaxelson6200]

As a figure painter I have learned so much watching your tutorials. Thanks for that. Good on you.

[@NerdyCraftsmith]

Damn man, you're fast! That just got released!

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Rcflex1]

Wow speechless that is a phenomenal paint up awesome brother

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you 🙏

[@mitchellkruszyna109]

The transparent colors on the flames really looked amazing, and the purple base on the flesh tied in with the rest of her outfit!

[@Sangrell]

Hey Dad! The skin looks fantastic! Loving the purple undertones! Incredible work, as always... now you just need to make her hover lol

[@Groundeffected]

Hahaha that would be ridiculous and I like it!

[@gmpenatti]

Leaving some words: another amazing job!!! You are a fantastic artist. Thanks for the videos.

[@benjaminbrigance1708]

Great job! I pick up something new each time i watch one of your videos. From a technique to using different color combinations.

[@fatherchaos8967]

Great work man keep this stuff up, super talented.

[@chaoticpainting1507]

Looks super dope man, really well done. You've got a pretty good understanding of color theory, it shows on your models for sure... really enjoyed this video!

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude

[@masterhedgemon5381]

Holy moly that is insane. Love it

[@FrankieRogersArt]

This character really reminds me of Angela from marvel comics. Turned out awesome as always my dude 😁 I haven't used my printer since moving house but this has made me want to print something a bit larger and get stuck in

[@VB3D]

Beautiful work!

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always.

[@siddiaz1623]

Love your videos man, keep it up

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks dude

[@ovan2190]

Because it's a bit hard to tell, (not that it's your fault I'm assuming it's difficult to film and paint at the same time) but with each progressive flesh tone were you spraying just a little higher with each tone? It looks fantastic love your style of painting

[@Groundeffected]

Yes. There are many many skin tone videos that are focused on that and those would help you understand better just look at my uploads dude.

[@ovan2190]

@@Groundeffected I definitely will thank you for responding I appreciate it :)

[@l____bugc____l]

Cool !! 😍

[@БорисЯковлев-х4ч]

Great video. Please tell a beginner modeler what pressure is optimal for painting a model with an airbrush? The paint in my nozzle dries very quickly, I think it's not just because I put too much pressure on the trigger.

[@MichaelTilly1968]

As always, such a great job. Beautiful!

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you!

[@philfoofighter]

Not familiar with the WoW but judging by that character I may need to check it out 😉 awesome work as always

[@Kammmm]

Another wonderful video! 😎 thank you for all your time and effort sharing these tips with us. May I ask which transparent resin you used for this? Thank you in advance, can't wait for the next video.

[@Groundeffected]

This was heygears transparent resin

[@MrRoman0629]

What resin are you using these days? And do you have an affiliate link so I can buy them through there?

[@r21174]

Are alot of these character pieces you paint have a reference colors you try to match???

[@danaaxelson6200]

What do you use to clear or flat your final paint.

[@beyondoriginality]

How much time do you spend cleaning up the 3d print before you start priming? I noticed alot of supports.

[@Groundeffected]

This one was made on a very short time scale. So I don’t spend too much time on cleanup. But if it’s a commission I could spend a whole day cleaning stuff. Depends on the purpose I guess but mostly there isn’t too much work to do before I prime

[@beyondoriginality]

Well it looks extra smooth and amazing before and after painting. @@Groundeffected

[@brestows]

The flames of the fire should be red and the base yellow, and not vice versa))

[@Groundeffected]

It’s magical fire that is actually red not yellow.

[@l____bugc____l]

I just tought about something my dude.. I see you shake your paints manually and was wondering if you have a Vortex mixer. If not you should :D Its perfect and will shake your bottles/paint within 10 seconds. Even old paints that are stubborn to let go of the bottom :) It also saves you from fap-arm at the same time 😂 Personally i have the "Mini Vortex mixer" by 'Four Es's Scientific'. Its a bit pricey but oooh its so woderfull. If you do have a vortex mixer thingy mejig consider this message not sent 🥰

[@tabletopmika4349]

Another awesome paint job. You made one little mistake, though. The colours of the flames are upside down. The should be yellow in the centre and orange/red at the outside.

[@Groundeffected]

It’s magical fire so I reversed it to not look like actual fire 🔥 or at least I tried to haha

[@TheMugwump1]

Bondo for gap filling... Opinions?

[@evilldead6824]

Did you pint the fire with ink?

[@TessaTestarossa]

4 minutes? I had to excuse myself after merely seeing her printed torso...

[@squiddymute]

damn i always wanted to do this .. 😢

[@geteavnroc2250]

Alexstraza is the penultimate wai-fu.

[@NoMercyFtw]

put the dye in the resin before print

[@Groundeffected]

That’s one uniform colour. I don’t want that. I want a blend. Volumetrically.

[@NoMercyFtw]

@@Groundeffected U can add a light paint after

[@Groundeffected]

@@NoMercyFtwyea I can or. I can do it this way and not waste a bunch of clear resin by turning it into a colour that I don’t need for the next print. Then I’ll have bottles of mixed up colours never the right amount to print, trust me dude. I make at least one statue every single week this is the most cost effective. Not only that it allows me to control the colours from beginning to end.

[@PrzybyszzMatplanety]

It's superb work, however what doesn't stick at all is this fire on the base and in her hands. Colors should be reversed as fire is hotter (and brighter) near the source and it goes darker on the edges where it cools. That's the one thing that ruins it for me, however Alexstrasza herself is nearly perfect.

[@DobbsyLondon]

OMG, I was 666th like. Please no more likes. Keep it devilish.

[@Mre942]

the one who made this model did her horns /hair wrong , the horns should go upwards and not downwards from the underneath the hair

[@Groundeffected]

It’s me who did this. I’m an idiot and I glued them in wrong.
