    Honestly, you have some of the best miniatures and tutorials. I haven't been in the hobby for very long, but I have made a couple of friends who have been painting minis for more than twenty years, and every time you release a video we are all equally excited. They've seen so many 'standard' paint jobs that even an exceptionally well done 'vanilla' miniature just rings kind of lacklustre. Not only are your miniatures well painted, they're also unique and creative beyond, "well, I thought I'd make this orc lime green instead of dark green." It's refreshing and a true inspiration, for beginners and the grognard-iest of old trolls alike. Thank you.

      i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account??

      @Ares Nikolas i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
      Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

    You know, the really cool thing about this method is that the tombstones and ground nearby being painted these odd colors make it look like the nighthaunts are glowing and bleeding light onto the other objects.
    The highlights of the ectoplasm parts really makes it all look very good. This is why I love your videos :)

      I like that she goes further beyond the basics than other UA-camrs. Also that she's hilarious so you're naturally inclined to watch more than once, which lets you better absorb the knowledge.

    • @amazingcoolyeah
      @amazingcoolyeah 4 роки тому +2

      Completely agree. This is only the third video I've seen of hers. I've been a miniature painter for close to 30 years now, and I'm still learning things. I love the professionalism Dana brings to UA-cam. Keep up the excellent videos, Dana!

    Most thought out and explained tutorials I've found, hands down. Most people spend 90% of theirs talking, yet not really saying or showing anything. I actually ordered my first airbrush after watching your videos, as I got a load of free night haunt, and this seems like the perfect way to practice gradients.

  • @thunderball44

    This is the airbrushing video I always wanted after I got an airbrush. There are so many "basic" airbrush videos and so few intermediate and advanced videos. You have a well organized and complete format that is fast enough to be accessible and yet I expect people will go back and watch them over and over to catch pieces they missed the first time through as the information is quite dense. I hope you continue to create these.

    • @scottchristofersen2367
      @scottchristofersen2367 4 роки тому

      Also I would probably never pick the color palette that you do... which is great because it expands my ability to see what works and yours clearly work well.

    Very well done! I have been teaching airbrushing for several years and this video is a great example of how controlled a student can become with practice as well as an example of how it's possible to paint something as small as a miniature. I will make sure to share this video with my students. Thank you very much for doing this video! Be safe, Bill.

  • @HomelessOnline
    @HomelessOnline 2 роки тому

    Thank you! Once again, your video on airbrush miniatures is an actual video on airbrushing miniatures, not a crash course on how to use an airbrush. Yours is the first video I've found that actually includes airbrushing minis as opposed to just talking about it. My appreciation for this channel continues to grow.

    Hi, I used to paint as a hobbyist and competitively, and also, for a while I painted professionally for a toy company in the UK. I just wanted to dip in and say honestly, this is some of the most impressively creative way to paint Warhammer miniatures. I absolutely love the colour schemes and use of airbrushing. We just never thought to use airbrushes like this 30 years ago. Maybe for scenery, but yeah, blown away.

  • @kodzzz996
    @kodzzz996 4 роки тому +1

    Thank goodness you did the guide for these. I collect nighthaunt and although I dont have an airbrush theres some techniques here that I at least needed to know of.

  • @lunahula
    @lunahula 4 роки тому +18

    So what I learned from my very first airbrush gradient and subsequently ruining it with brushwork is: Once you complete the airbrush stage to your satisfaction, happy with the gradient and you have no additional major work to do on that part or even just a main colour of a model if you have done shading by airbrush and fixing a mistake is going to be nigh impossible. Apply 1-2 thin coats of matte varnish to protect your work, give it around 24 hours to cure and then take a cheap to midrange new synthetic brush like an AK interactive one, apologise to it for what you are about to do: take a pair of scissors and cut the bristles to give it a flat top, neated up and take away the cut off hairs. You now have a scrubbing brush, and safe surface to use it on. If you get paint onto a place it isn't supposed to go now, wet it first with the scrubby brush, wait a moment and then rub at it with the scrubby brush, dry the area and re-paint. If it doesn't come off, switch from water to vallejo airbrush thinner or mix a little alcohol in with your water when cleaning an area with the scrubby brush. Think of it like an 'undo' feature in photoshop.

    Dana. Thanks so much. I just received my first airbrush this weekend. I’ve binged all your videos. I’ve watched most more than once. I’m working on the basics now. I just play your video and play along. You’re doing an awesome job. I look forward to all your vids to come. Keep up the great work.

  • @dddmmm21
    @dddmmm21 4 роки тому +15

    The techniques are awesome, but fundamentally what I like here is the style and how it opened my mind to color schemes and to detail differentiation (or lack of)... What I mean is that basic common knowledge dictates we should different details as much as possible for a high quality job... For example, you could build a gradient in the capes but the weapons should look like a weapon (e.g. silver) and scenery should be painted separately as scenery (dirt and rocks).... But here she does the opposite = The figure body, the figure weapon and even the scenery elements all carry the same color gradient but somehow nobody cares because the color scheme is so interesting and the gradient quality is so prevalent that who cares if the weapon does not have a realistic metallic finish... Very interesting...

    • @erichschmidt727
      @erichschmidt727 4 роки тому

      Yes! There was that banshee that was flying past a tombstone and I thought "oh that tombstone should be... no... it's better this way." The techniques really make the color scheme pop. (Or, vice versa)
