I have to say you produce the best mini painting tutorials on the net. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in it, it's invaluable to people like me starting out. I hope you never get tired of it :D
Love your work. I've done a little painting on bisque but I've never done it on wargaming figures. I have a friend that's really interested in it and thought I would look into it for my other projects. Keep up the good work.
Super job. Native leather was brain tanned, the animals brain used to preserve the skin. It was soaked in wood ash and water to help remove the hair, brain tanned, smoked and then softened.
Nice work! About the leather tanning, I found out recently that you can tan or soften a hide using the animal's brain, which is how native Americans did it. After working the leather it gives a really soft nubuck texture.
You kept calling these a "speed project", but those are amazing skin tones. I've been actively practicing my skin tones recently and I can't get anything close to that level of natural-looking-ness.
I tried to paint the flesh as you instructed but it sort of went wrong. I think my problem was that I substituted the ink wash you made for the prebottled wash sold by vallejo. Next time I'll get the ink and make my own as the consistency of the glaze just wasn't right.
Great paint job. Now I want to start painting these figures. Which brush are you using in this video? It appears to be quite long and hold the paint well. Cheers!
AFAIK who the norse called Skraelings were in the case of greenland I *think* called Kalaallit, Avanersuarmiut and Tunumiitwho. and were not 'wiped out' by the colonialist genocides (though they did suffer immensley from it!), but still are here today! However, I find it sort of unlikely that they'd wear nothing but loincloths, in the frozen norths of Kalaallit Nunaat :P seal or caribou tunics, maybe :L
I think red skin was more of the white mans racial misunderstanding at the time, but i do think you nailed the tone in your final result properly. Best concept is just think of central and south american people and thats closer to what you want as they are decendent of the same people the indians you are painting were from.
Great paint work. However, it seems you have not given Native Americans proper credit for their technological abilities. I respect your desire to be historically accurate but Indigenous Americans had more skills than you seem to give them credit for.
I sculpted these for GB a few years ago. It was a pleasure watching you do such a great paint job on them :-)
ιWow I feel amazed by men who do this kind of things. Sculpturing to produce such nice miniatures is amazing and I m adiming you, sir!

I love the fact that I go off searching YT for Native American painting, and return to DF. Brilliant as always.
Awesome Job. Not only do we get to see the paint job but the back story was superb. Thanks
these are really nice. i mainly like the paint detail you did on the small things like necklaces, daggers, ect. very nice.

You're a good teacher! Thanks

Just found this video. Great work. What wouldnyou suggest for skin tones for the plains indians.

If I remember correctly they were a limited item and rather rare at the time.
Hey Brother Where can I find some they're pretty cool I like them is Abel Hernandez saying bye-bye
I am in need of precontact/stone age models and these fit the bill. The price isn't bad either.
Thanks, this is very useful.

You've done European and Native American flesh. Any chance of doing other flesh tones?
Check back next week.
