That's all you got out of this video? Then what you are looking for are the step by step tutorials, with explanations, color recipes, color theory and much more in my online academy or some on youtube too :D
You are right Sergio. Painting metal this way can achieve an aspect that is simply impossible when using metallic colors. I find it far superior, and much closer to traditional painting.
All this techniques while looks good , fails to actually produce how metals should look like. Sergio needs to grab a 3d program and put Metalic shaders on Scuptures and compare it with Non metalic shaders.. Is not just the texture what changes.. but the way Surface reflect light is very differen. You can't simulate "metalic surfaces" by just combining textures.. it will look like a fake metal surface in the end. What makes a Metal surface , to look metalic is the way Light Bounce on it. Its surfaces have to be highly reflective of real physical light of his room, Something that is absolutely lacks on all his paint work.. A difference needs to be made between Art that looks good versus Surfaces that looks metalic.. He is very good in art , but still don't get it , why is not possible to fake Metals with just art. A proper hack to creating surfaces that looks like metals , needs to properly emulate its reflections.. What Sergio is doing could be called concepting art.. that looks artistic and good , but it doesn't look like metal at all.. More like armor made of paper , trying to look like metal but failing at it. The people that truly understand the issue and really wants to get there , use either OIL metalic paints ,to simulate better metals , or either use acrylics like vallejo metals ,that actually contain metalic like powder inside the paint and that you can see it right from the container of shinney particles inside the paint. It looks close to the real thing when paint is wet.. but when it dry it lose most some of its metalic properties ,because in the end is all about how the surface reflect light ,what is unique about metals.. Best way to get proper metals , is to 3d print miniatures in metals , not in plastic , some companies already doing that. THey have 3d printers that use real metal in powder form to print anything they want. From metal pieces to art . This is why is so hard to paint black armor that looks metalic, and looks realistic. And not just matte art ,as most spray painters does with their minis. Accuracy in reflections is everything in metals ,without them what you are doing is a hack , just concept 2d art that while it will look good ,as any 2d acryclic paint will look in the hands of a pro , it doesn't look at all metallic. in any way, looks fake.
So, the DEFINITIVE SECRET is to be an amazing painter, and then NMM is easy and fun? I saw everything you showed us. But the style/method/process used is Masterclass. The only thing I really learned is that nothing in this video will help me in any attempt I would make to paint NMM myself. Not a knock on Sergio. The end product here is AMAZING! Just annoyed at the marketing BS titles so commonly used on youtube.
Secret to NMM is just to know how light works on metal surfaces. Paint accordingly to that. Take it slow. Avoid brush strokes so stippling and glazing helps. And pick the right mini for it. Easier to do a larger bust then to do it on a 28mm scale. After that it's more or less just the hours you need to put in and get good at it. I keep seeing videos saying. watch this and paint like a god or watch this and unlock the secrets. While the only truth is. Paint more.. MORE MORE AND MORE. And use always try to paint new things. Dont get stuck. Try and dare to make mistakes and paint something your unhappy with. Be prepared and ok mentaly to strip a model of all paint and start over. And live with your past projects. What you did last year will dwarf in comparrison to your next year. In the end your painting for yourself and no one else.
I agree about the title I've tried NMM and the results were decent enough, but I don't enjoy painting in a realistic style and prefer a more cartoony vibe so I don't do NMM anymore... I don't see that as an excuse, merely my choice as an artist
@@gaz-atolla7519 the sorta over saturated cellshade looks amasing on certain minis. Seen some amasing cartoon marvel paint jobs. ;) NMM is not necesary for all minis.
You are probably looking for my step by step tutorials, many have learned a lot with this video format, and have enjoyed and relaxed watching it. If you are looking to learn in depth all my knowledge, step by step, with explanations, color theory, color recipes, showing the mixtures in real time and much more, no doubt you are looking for my online academy on the patreon platform or my tutorials on my website. Check them out, I'm sure you'll love them :D www.patreon.com/sergiocalvominiatures sergiocalvominiatures.com/shop-category/tutorials/
I must be terribly stupid since I don't seem to understand the "secrets" to where to put the highlights, how to choose colours that present as metal in the end nor what you used the airbrush for. Adding shadows? Smoothing transitions? Changing the tone/colour. Like I said, I'm probably just too stupid to comprehend it so great video!
Hi, what can be extracted from the video are methods and structure. Unlike other NMM videos, Sergio doesn't thin down the paint, but instead uses thick layers and doesn't use glazes or inks. He simply starts with the base color of the shadows and then adds the lights and colors of the reflections. Finally, he adds the more saturated tones with the airbrush and restores the shine to the brightest points with the Brush I hope this helps!
Maybe the video format you are looking for can be found in my guided tutorials with explanations of everything and the colors used, there you can see why I use each thing at that moment, as well as the airbrush, the role it plays in my painting style. This is a time lapse as indicated, more for relaxation and enjoyment. :D
How often does this model come back in stock? I saw your instagram post come up in my feed, sought out this video to find the manufacturer, and now I see its out of stock.
The ultimate secret is just... extreme talent for light placement, you literally could have stopped at 3 min and its would still be an amazing piece. dont get me wrong its awesome to watch this process, But i think that kind of knowledge cant be teached by a 1hour video, you must paint A LOT to achieve such precise volumetric highlights. Outstanding final result
That's why I also created my online academy where I teach many interesting concepts throughout the many projects I paint. I hope this video inspires you to paint minis.
dumb question but why doing a zenithal before covering with opaque paint? To get a sense of the forms first? Do you ever keep a picture of it for reference later?
ouch! I wanted to show the painting process in an interesting and relaxing way, you also have my step by step tutorials, with explanations of everything and the colors used, always helping more painters :D
Guys, read between the lines, this is an ad for his Patreon. Not knocking that fact, but there's no in-depth explanations because the man is trying to earn a living doing what he loves.
Many have found them very interesting and entertaining, not everyone learns in the same way, so I have also created videos explaining step by step and showing the colors and the wet palette in my online academy on patreon, that does not mean that I can help more people with different formats of videos, maybe those tutorials are the ones you are looking for, the important thing is to enjoy the hobby! :D
This is amazing. I know the point isnt to go step by step over colors etc. But for the first 3-5 layers of armor to get all the basic reflections and highlights established was that adding white to a single color? Or all different paints? Im always debating between lightening my base color or just changing paints as it gets lighter. Any advice would be appreciated!
I realize this comment is old but if you still want the answer to this question he has a more indepth spoken tutorial for this model on his channel that answers it.
Hi! My recommendation is to put the light colors in the mix at first and then use another color separately that contains a lot of white. The pure white we will use only as a final light in one or two very specific points.
Buenas Sergio! ¿Cuál es la mejor forma de proteger la peana durante el proceso de pintado de la miniatura? Te he visto usar cinta de carpintería, aquí has usado una especie de masilla. Yo he probado la cinta de carpintería, e incluso pegándola antes en la ropa varias veces para que no pegue tanto, al quitarla de la peana se me ha llevado parte de la pintura 😢 Ahora voy a empezar un proyecto con una peana bastante grande y no quiero sorpresas...😅 Muchas gracias compi ❤
A mi nunca me ha dado problemas con la cinta de carrocero. La pego antes en los pantalones y listo! También puedes usar Bluetack para enmascarar pero con el tiempo se puede escurrir ya que tardamos mucho tiempo en pintar...
Hi, Currently it is in our online patreon academy, in the future we will upload it to the website to sell it, as well as we will make painting guides in PDF format. Thanks for your support.
To be honest, this is not much educational stuff in this video, but on certain level of skill you will get what Sergio doing. You learn by observing each brushstroke and where in each composition it is placed. Its like, you can paint 99 999 minis by yourself to understand that, or you can paint 33 333 minis by yourself and watch 777 777 videos of people doing that, training your brain too.
Maybe what you are looking for are my step by step tutorials with the colors and theoretical explanations of everything I do, very interesting and unique concepts for my style of painting.
you are a master of miniatures. I am always fascinated by your art. It Inspririrt me to constantly challenge myself and continue to develop. Abslout fanstastic
I find it interesting that you start the metallic off with a pretty drab colour before working up to a shine, but maybe that's one way to achieve a "stony environment" aesthetics... 🤔 (Personally I'm the insane bunch who like to start from straight black and go up with way too many glazing lol)
What sized brush do you use for the initial basing in this video? So far my main 2 brushes are my da vinci maestro series 35 size 1 and 2 but the tips are too fine I find for base coating, I'd like to get something bigger for that purpose.
Oh my God! thanks a lot for this video!! I finally understood how it works))) Long life and creativity to the Master 🥰💖✨🎨 The best, and forever in my heart 💞
A few words are enough for a good understanding, as we say in Spain. I also have step by step tutorials to help more painters, with colors, ideas, theories, techniques... :D
Hola Sergio. Tengo una pregunta. Veo que has dado un primer pase de imprimación y luces blancas con el aerógrafo para preparar la miniuatura. Pero a la hora de encajar los primeros colores, da la impresión en el vídeo de que las capas que aplicas son lo suficientemente opacas como para tapar la capa inferior de luces y por tanto que no tiene ningún efecto. ¿Esto es así? En ese caso, ¿cual sería la razón para aplicar el blanco? Entiendo que lo más probable es que si que aporte algún cambio de tono al color base, pero me lo podrías confirmar? Muchas gracias. Y enhorabuena por tu trabajo.
Es una pregunta muy interesante, tiene varios usos, lo llevo haciendo muchísimos años y cada vez es mas popular, es interesante ver como se crean conceptos misticos alrededor de esta manera particular de pintar. Es simplemente para crear un boceto rápido del planteamiento de luces y sombras, me ayuda a verlo en la figura y si necesito tomo una foto :)
Sorry if i sound a bit harsh: this is the kind of video, where you feel worse after watching it. Your style and skill is amazing. But to profit from it, it is necessary, that you explain what you do. How and why did you choose these colours for the underpainting? How do you decide where to put reflexions and highlights and so on...Maybe it is just me and this is a channel for experienced painters.
I share my knowledge as a professional for over 16 years with a unique technique and style, I use this channel to share, if you want to learn with my guided tutorials, explained step by step, concepts of color, light, definition, see the exact colors in the color palette and color recipes, besides many other things, what you are looking for is my online academy that we have created in my patreon channel. It has no waste :D
I lvoe this. I would not take the time/care to do this, I feel, or maybe one day I will. But it's also not my job, I paint a certain quality, but that quality is based on that I only want to put so much effort into each thing. What I appreciate, though, is that you have this out there to look at. I think anyone can look at this and learn something, no matter what level they are at. It is very revealing and to repeat, once again, I love it.
Thank you so much, I have always shared my knowledge around the world in events, painting workshops, my online academy on patreon and now on youtube with this format of videos. I hope to inspire you to try to apply my techniques and knowledge in some of your figures, you will see how interesting and relaxing it is at the same time.
Ese momento de cliff hanger cuando empieza el aerógrafo… enhorabuena chicos. Muy buena edición!!! De la pintura no digo nada porque macho… se te va la olla!!!!
Absolutely stunning! Would like you to post the colors and shades on bottom of screen when your using them so I can get an idea oh what your using please
There is all this information in my tutorials, I have created videos explaining step by step and showing the colors and the wet palette in my online academy in patreon, there I am training many painters who are looking to learn in depth of my knowledge.
Soy de argentina y de verte pintar de forma artistica tus figuras me dieron ganas de arrancar. Queset de pi turas y figuras me recomendas alguna lupa en especial??
A por ello! No uso lupas, pero si crees que es necesario para ti, primero miraría unas gafas adaptadas para pintar estas figuras que una lupa que no este adaptada a tu vista :D
How can you achieve this result without using any glazes or shades? Your layers seems pretty thick and i dont see any blending technic, however the transitions are cleans… 🤔 what kind of magic it is ? 😳
The sheer quantity of tones he uses. IE: layering, instead of glazing. The transitions perhaps aren't as clean as someone masterfully glazing, but for high contrast shiny armour with lots of reflections, it isn't necessary.
He is glazing, just with the airbrush at the end. People put way too much emphasis on glazes these days when you can do just as much with regular layer consistency paints.
@@spamstabber You contradict yourself a bit. Since he uses glazing at the end, it is proof to me that regular layer consistency paints are not enough. Yes, people may be too focused on glazing, but for me it's still the best way to get a good end result that can quickly make the difference between a professional and an amateur look. Or maybe glazing, blurring transitions and regular consistency paint is somehow pretty similar for you.
It is my unique style of painting, I have been showing the world that glazes are not my way and with tutorials like this one I show how easy it can be to paint and achieve incredible results. This and much more is what I teach in my online academy and in my step by step tutorials with explanations :D
Alright, for anyone that's a bit frustrated by the title, I could do a breakdown of the process, but it would be quite long. I'll start and if there are questions I'll anwser them as they come, if there are any. Do note that what I will say is my conjecture and educated guesses, so I could be wrong, I have however an artistic background, understand color theory, and am a pretty decent mini painter myself. Here we go: -first understand that many decisions were taken beforehand, and that prep work has been done such as research on reflections and such. the firsts decisions were either a marine theme or a brass armor, and the rest flew from there. -khaki green was used as a base because he wanted the armor to look like brass and not gold, hence a more muted and cold base compared to gold. This green still retains brown in its composition, so it can transition from the browns to the blues more easily than if the base color was grey or a warm brown. Since we don't want to look like gold we also will avoid yellows, instead highlighting with greenish/greyish beiges. -Blues and greens are comonly seen in marine themes, so that is mostly why the cape and stairs have them, in contrast to the armor, though, they are very saturated. The cape is mainly used as a way to frame the body, that is why less attention was placed there. Also, we don't want do distract the viewer from the more important part: the body -the clothes are in low saturation color and quite dark to contrast from the armor, which also serve as a way to place the focus there first, we can see that the loincloth is treated as a continuation of the armor, hence its color (also, making it dark would break the composition) Alright, that's gonna suffice for an introduction. Now ask away, you all in search of anwsers.
What a good appreciation of the video, congratulations, it is very interesting to read comments like this, I like to see how you reason things or colors that I have used, congratulations, it's a great way to learn. Congratulations. I would like to see more of your comments analyzing the rest of the figures I have uploaded. I loved it, Thank you.
@@Sergiocalvominiatures I'm honored to receive such high praise. Regarding your previous works, I responded to comments here and there, but I most likely won't do detailed analysis on them. As I do it as a way to help others, it's a bit late for those older videos. Thanks for the kind words anyways!
Increíble como siempre... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.. solo he echado en falta una cosa. El ir viendo los colores que vas utilizando como en otros videos. Pero es un lujazo verte pintar 😊😊
I don't get what's happening with the horn on the helm..was that darker blot on the bottom the reflection of the floor? I would never have thought of that. 🤔
Yo flipo con este tío.... el pulso, la imaginación de cómo quiere pintarlo, la creatividad para darle vida... la paciencia... los conocimientos de qué y cómo mezclar.... y lo que más admiro.. que pueda ganarse la vida con lo que realmente le gusta!.
Video is coming to an end, and I was like.. Its a great work, but for Sergio level..? And then you pick up airbrush and I was "oooooh now we are talking about EPIC"
I'm sure that with patience and watching my tutorials, you can achieve similar results and with a little more time my results. I explain it in a very simple way
The color theory or whatever is just way beyond me, most of the time I'm like what the hell is he putting that color on for? It looks awful, then a few moments later it looks amazing. I hope I can learn because it's really cool, like magic.
Para eso tenemos los tutoriales de Patreon, aquí quiero mostraros como pinto de una forma más sencilla para que disfrutéis del proceso. En los tutoriales y guías de pintura tienes toda la información de los colores que he usado en cada caso además de una explicación.
Personally, i would like the videos a lot more with quieter music. Having the intermittent crescendos and techno can be a little much and causes me to stop watching…like im watching a jason bourne film or something…
My team and I have a lot of fun creating these videos, you have different formats and with more relaxing or more active music, take a look at them, I'm sure you'll find more than one that you love music too :D
Por ejemplo, en el minuto 8,25 metes un reflejo tono carne debajo del cuerno del casco que aparentemente no responde a ningún reflejo de una carnación. La cara, es metálica ... Me descolocas. Provengo del histórico y me alucinan los MNM de fantasía (las telas y carnaciones , bueno .... no tanto o casi nada). Pero los MNM sí. Vas así, como "random"?
No es de forma random. Lo primero que hago es utilizar el esquema que he realizado en tonos más verdosos para establecer dónde van a quedar las sombras y los reflejos. Después de eso siempre construyo hacia la luz y por último matizo con el aerógrafo agregando filtros de color que sean tonos medios y sombras. Por último añado las tintas y los últimos reflejos de luz con blanco puro o un color que sea muy parecido al blanco.
Ah yes, I see. The secret is being way better than me.
That's all you got out of this video? Then what you are looking for are the step by step tutorials, with explanations, color recipes, color theory and much more in my online academy or some on youtube too :D

Hola Sergio. Tengo una pregunta. Veo que has dado un primer pase de imprimación y luces blancas con el aerógrafo para preparar la miniuatura. Pero a la hora de encajar los primeros colores, da la impresión en el vídeo de que las capas que aplicas son lo suficientemente opacas como para tapar la capa inferior de luces y por tanto que no tiene ningún efecto. ¿Esto es así? En ese caso, ¿cual sería la razón para aplicar el blanco?
Entiendo que lo más probable es que si que aporte algún cambio de tono al color base, pero me lo podrías confirmar?
Muchas gracias. Y enhorabuena por tu trabajo.
Es una pregunta muy interesante, tiene varios usos, lo llevo haciendo muchísimos años y cada vez es mas popular, es interesante ver como se crean conceptos misticos alrededor de esta manera particular de pintar. Es simplemente para crear un boceto rápido del planteamiento de luces y sombras, me ayuda a verlo en la figura y si necesito tomo una foto :)
@@Sergiocalvominiatures Muchas gracias por la aclaración!
Sorry if i sound a bit harsh: this is the kind of video, where you feel worse after watching it. Your style and skill is amazing. But to profit from it, it is necessary, that you explain what you do. How and why did you choose these colours for the underpainting? How do you decide where to put reflexions and highlights and so on...Maybe it is just me and this is a channel for experienced painters.
I share my knowledge as a professional for over 16 years with a unique technique and style, I use this channel to share, if you want to learn with my guided tutorials, explained step by step, concepts of color, light, definition, see the exact colors in the color palette and color recipes, besides many other things, what you are looking for is my online academy that we have created in my patreon channel. It has no waste :D
@@Sergiocalvominiatures Ah, i see. So this is a teaser. That makes sence.
Que gran trabajo y que bonita mini
Gracias!
I lvoe this. I would not take the time/care to do this, I feel, or maybe one day I will. But it's also not my job, I paint a certain quality, but that quality is based on that I only want to put so much effort into each thing.
What I appreciate, though, is that you have this out there to look at. I think anyone can look at this and learn something, no matter what level they are at. It is very revealing and to repeat, once again, I love it.
Thank you so much, I have always shared my knowledge around the world in events, painting workshops, my online academy on patreon and now on youtube with this format of videos. I hope to inspire you to try to apply my techniques and knowledge in some of your figures, you will see how interesting and relaxing it is at the same time.
Ese momento de cliff hanger cuando empieza el aerógrafo… enhorabuena chicos. Muy buena edición!!!
De la pintura no digo nada porque macho… se te va la olla!!!!
Mola eeeh? Siempre cuidando cada aspecto en cada proyecto, y lo mas importante, disfrutando lo que hacemos :D
Absolutely stunning! Would like you to post the colors and shades on bottom of screen when your using them so I can get an idea oh what your using please
There is all this information in my tutorials, I have created videos explaining step by step and showing the colors and the wet palette in my online academy in patreon, there I am training many painters who are looking to learn in depth of my knowledge.
Really cool tutorial. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for your workshop at the Mosonshow on Saturday. Maybe next year...
oooooh!! Maybe next year, it was amazing! :D
Awesome painting job, I just wish that the camera was closer to the action
❤️
Soy de argentina y de verte pintar de forma artistica tus figuras me dieron ganas de arrancar. Queset de pi turas y figuras me recomendas alguna lupa en especial??
A por ello! No uso lupas, pero si crees que es necesario para ti, primero miraría unas gafas adaptadas para pintar estas figuras que una lupa que no este adaptada a tu vista :D

Just git gud. Got it
Most things in life are really that simple...
But "simple" and "easy" are rarely synonyms.
What beautiful words, Andrew Amann
Espectacular! 👍👍
Muchas gracias, seguiré subiendo videos para ayudar a todos :D
Amazing work, looks awsome, thanks for sharing. Good video. Greetings from Portugal😉👋
❤️
Absolutely stunning! Theres NMM, then theres this! Tiers above anything else i have seen. You continue to inspire dude
I'll keep painting! :D
What is a metallic color you used?
is NMM
I can´t see my self even getting close to this, amazing work.
Yes, you can! :D
Do you ever paint casually? Like a model in 3 hours kind of casual?
Excelente video sergio!! Muchas gracias por compartirlo
Gracias a ti por disfrutarlo :D
La pintura a un nivel que parece ser intocable !!!
Muchas gracias, siempre buscando mejorar en cada aspecto :D
OMG! human being can be very gifted!
The power of Gorko and Morko :P
How can you achieve this result without using any glazes or shades? Your layers seems pretty thick and i dont see any blending technic, however the transitions are cleans… 🤔 what kind of magic it is ? 😳
The sheer quantity of tones he uses. IE: layering, instead of glazing. The transitions perhaps aren't as clean as someone masterfully glazing, but for high contrast shiny armour with lots of reflections, it isn't necessary.
@@juble7086 Thx, it really helps a lot !
He is glazing, just with the airbrush at the end.
People put way too much emphasis on glazes these days when you can do just as much with regular layer consistency paints.
@@spamstabber You contradict yourself a bit. Since he uses glazing at the end, it is proof to me that regular layer consistency paints are not enough.
Yes, people may be too focused on glazing, but for me it's still the best way to get a good end result that can quickly make the difference between a professional and an amateur look. Or maybe glazing, blurring transitions and regular consistency paint is somehow pretty similar for you.
It is my unique style of painting, I have been showing the world that glazes are not my way and with tutorials like this one I show how easy it can be to paint and achieve incredible results. This and much more is what I teach in my online academy and in my step by step tutorials with explanations :D
Alright, for anyone that's a bit frustrated by the title, I could do a breakdown of the process, but it would be quite long.
I'll start and if there are questions I'll anwser them as they come, if there are any.
Do note that what I will say is my conjecture and educated guesses, so I could be wrong, I have however an artistic background, understand color theory, and am a pretty decent mini painter myself. Here we go:
-first understand that many decisions were taken beforehand, and that prep work has been done such as research on reflections and such.
the firsts decisions were either a marine theme or a brass armor, and the rest flew from there.
-khaki green was used as a base because he wanted the armor to look like brass and not gold, hence a more muted and cold base compared to gold. This green still retains brown in its composition, so it can transition from the browns to the blues more easily than if the base color was grey or a warm brown. Since we don't want to look like gold we also will avoid yellows, instead highlighting with greenish/greyish beiges.
-Blues and greens are comonly seen in marine themes, so that is mostly why the cape and stairs have them, in contrast to the armor, though, they are very saturated. The cape is mainly used as a way to frame the body, that is why less attention was placed there. Also, we don't want do distract the viewer from the more important part: the body
-the clothes are in low saturation color and quite dark to contrast from the armor, which also serve as a way to place the focus there first, we can see that the loincloth is treated as a continuation of the armor, hence its color (also, making it dark would break the composition)
Alright, that's gonna suffice for an introduction. Now ask away, you all in search of anwsers.
What a good appreciation of the video, congratulations, it is very interesting to read comments like this, I like to see how you reason things or colors that I have used, congratulations, it's a great way to learn. Congratulations. I would like to see more of your comments analyzing the rest of the figures I have uploaded. I loved it, Thank you.
@@Sergiocalvominiatures I'm honored to receive such high praise.
Regarding your previous works, I responded to comments here and there, but I most likely won't do detailed analysis on them. As I do it as a way to help others, it's a bit late for those older videos.
Thanks for the kind words anyways!
Increíble como siempre... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.. solo he echado en falta una cosa.
El ir viendo los colores que vas utilizando como en otros videos.
Pero es un lujazo verte pintar 😊😊
Seguiremos mejorando :D
That's insane! Bravo!
Thank you!!!
Incroyable technique et maîtrise…. Waw 😮😮😮
Thanks!
Excellent work.
❤️
wonderful work
❤️
I don't get what's happening with the horn on the helm..was that darker blot on the bottom the reflection of the floor? I would never have thought of that. 🤔
Do you like the way it looks?
@@Sergiocalvominiatures i do, but i want to understand, so i can implement it myself 😁
That's wonderful Sergio. Pleasure watching your videos.
Thank you so much!!!! :D
Great job. Why don't you write the colors used?😊
I did it on my painting tutorials :D
Ok, watching you makes me want to give up painting and start collecting stamps!!
No way, I try to inspire more people to paint minis :D
@Sergio Calvo Miniatures I know brother, I'm just kidding. Yes you do inspire!!!
Thanks for this video 👌
Thanks to you for watching and enjoying it
Can you share the purchase link for your paint？
You can find it on my website or on Etsy
i watched every second of this video. You cannot convince me that this armor isn't made of actual metal.
hahaha, :D thank you and welcome to my channel! you can watch more videos like this one, always trying to do my best on each project :D
Yo flipo con este tío.... el pulso, la imaginación de cómo quiere pintarlo, la creatividad para darle vida... la paciencia... los conocimientos de qué y cómo mezclar.... y lo que más admiro.. que pueda ganarse la vida con lo que realmente le gusta!.
Y ya son mas de 16 años como profesional en el sector, como pasa el tiempo :D
Where is this miniature from? It looks really cool and I’d like to pick it up myself
It's in the video description, it's from black sun.
El puto amo tio... Pero podrias haber puesto en el video que colores usabas.
Tienes toda esa información en otros videos y en mi academia online en la que enseño pintura paso a paso a todos los que buscan aprender :D
It's absolutely amazing. You are such an inspiration. I look forward to attempting something like this one day. Looks like so much fun!
It's super fun!
Insane! I love it!
:D yes!!!!! and silver :P
uaalaaa lo ha mostrado!! en mis momentos más difíciles revisaré este video
A por el! :D
Yet again I got sucked into your video, after telling myself I will just have a brief look. Well, it's rather hypnotizing.
I'm glad you love it, take a look at the rest of the videos, maybe they will surprise you,
Video is coming to an end, and I was like.. Its a great work, but for Sergio level..? And then you pick up airbrush and I was "oooooh now we are talking about EPIC"
hahaha I'm glad it evoked those feelings, always save the best for last :D
What colours did you use?
You have all this information step by step in my tutorials.
I mean.... I have seen how it's done now... But I still won't be able to do it. This is amazing.
I'm sure that with patience and watching my tutorials, you can achieve similar results and with a little more time my results. I explain it in a very simple way
I'm definitely subscribing now
:D
The color theory or whatever is just way beyond me, most of the time I'm like what the hell is he putting that color on for? It looks awful, then a few moments later it looks amazing. I hope I can learn because it's really cool, like magic.
Welcome to my channel! you can watch more videos like this one, always trying to do my best on each project :D
you should "borrow" your minis to museums around the world... please consider italy... thanks.
Possibly, if everything goes as it should, quite a few of my works could be in the future.
estaría genial mostrar la paleta de vez en cuando y saber que colores usa en cada momento. un saludo!
Para eso tenemos los tutoriales de Patreon, aquí quiero mostraros como pinto de una forma más sencilla para que disfrutéis del proceso. En los tutoriales y guías de pintura tienes toda la información de los colores que he usado en cada caso además de una explicación.
Que genio!, Dios mío
Mil gracias!!!
What is this figure?
Magnifico!
Gracias!!
Magnifique !
❤️
Nueva versión ¿no?
Te gusta? :D
@@Sergiocalvominiatures Mucho. Me encanta la riqueza cromática que aportan los efectos de reflejos
davvero, davvero, davvero..... strepitoso!
:D
Your 3 minutes in is my end-result hahaha
And honestly, that wouldn't be so bad. I can't even get there yet.
Stopping by to tell you youre both doing pretty good.
❤️
Just magic. 👏👏👏
Always improving in every aspect :D
Personally, i would like the videos a lot more with quieter music. Having the intermittent crescendos and techno can be a little much and causes me to stop watching…like im watching a jason bourne film or something…
My team and I have a lot of fun creating these videos, you have different formats and with more relaxing or more active music, take a look at them, I'm sure you'll find more than one that you love music too :D
Por ejemplo, en el minuto 8,25 metes un reflejo tono carne debajo del cuerno del casco que aparentemente no responde a ningún reflejo de una carnación. La cara, es metálica ... Me descolocas. Provengo del histórico y me alucinan los MNM de fantasía (las telas y carnaciones , bueno .... no tanto o casi nada). Pero los MNM sí. Vas así, como "random"?
No es de forma random. Lo primero que hago es utilizar el esquema que he realizado en tonos más verdosos para establecer dónde van a quedar las sombras y los reflejos. Después de eso siempre construyo hacia la luz y por último matizo con el aerógrafo agregando filtros de color que sean tonos medios y sombras. Por último añado las tintas y los últimos reflejos de luz con blanco puro o un color que sea muy parecido al blanco.
손으로 빛을, 빛의 굴절을, 빛의 반사를 만드는 것 아름답습니다
