the amount of value and information you provide in such short videos is insane. Deeply appreciate the lack of waffle/intro. All killer, no filler. Keep it up.
Thanks I must try this, you're explaining and showing of technique is excellent, and give us confidence that we can approach something different and cool.
thank you for another awesome video! i have a question, do you think this technique would be suitable for use with a lantern/kerosene lamp OSL video you did previously, or would you switch some of the colors out? trying OSL for the first time with kingdom death models and am working on practice models now.
Sure it would, this approach is easier than on the first video i made. Maybe try out yellow only for the lanter, yellow orange first bubble, orange second bubble, orange red 3rd bubble. Or pure red for last bubble? diferent choices will give you more subtle or more dramtic lights. Feel free to ask any further questions as you go on painting, ill be here to help you out the best i can.
It looks good, but something just jumps out to me as off. I think if the sphere was that large the object is as bright as a lantern or bright torch, if so, it seems peculiar the model is staring straight into it at a few inches from his face. Would it appear dimmer if you made the sphere smaller and just put some OSL on his sleeve and face/beard? Like a faint glow?
that is a painters choice, certainly a potion with this much glow is something open to interpretation, i did it this big mainly to better showcase the spheres for the tutorial
it looks off because its not following the laws of how lighting works. he painted the model as if its lit in a regular well lit room, and then added purple over everything that completely covers the light that was already there. if you have a well lit face, adding a purple glow on top of that should be very subtle and you should still see the skin tone under it. so the purple should be interacting with all the other colours its being cast on differently. the skin can reflect light to some extent because its shiny. but a brown cloth cloak over his head shouldn't be shiny at all. the purple light which is red and blue and a bit of green to make it more pink being cast onto brown should be making the brown slightly brighter. not making it look very bright white/purple. If an object isn't purple you can't make it look purple, unless its a shiny surface in which case it is reflecting the colour. and if a surface is a dark colour it can't get as bright as a light surface. a pale skin with purple light on it should be far far brighter than a dark brown surface with a purple light on it. Go and test this, shine a torch on your skin and on a black/brown coat. the brown coat can't suddenly be as bright at your skin, your skin should always look brighter. especially when they are right next to the same light source. Having the face and the edge of the hood be as bright as each other is one of the most glaring issues here. I see this so often with people making these tutorials in how to paint "OSL" and glow effects. they don't understand the laws of how light works at all and that why the result looks off. theres also the fact its just incredibly hard to recreate photorealistic lighting because light works the opposite way to how pigment works. if you want an even better example of this issue theres a video of a guy painting a squigg, thats over some glowing mushrooms. the whole model is painted as if its well lit, the squiggle is a medium bright red, and yet a white glow from underneath he painted the underside glow on the squigg as pure white. white light on red skin can't make the skin look white. so it just looks wrong. he should have painted the red skin being made a brighter shade of red by the white light with maybe a tiny bit of white shining off of the skin. thats how light works.

thank you for taking the time to comment, means a lot
Thanks I must try this, you're explaining and showing of technique is excellent, and give us confidence that we can approach something different and cool.
very happy to hear, ill try to make it even more approachable next time
Ok cool first comment! I’m so happy you do OSL by brush. I can’t have an airbrush so finding guys like you is hard. So thank you.
Hapy to hear from you again, im glad you find the tutrorial useful
Great to have OSL without an air brush for people who can’t afford one or find it to complex! Thanks brother
no problem, been there and i like to help people enjoy the hobby
Working on an osl fig today and this has been so helpful. Thank you!
glad it was, best of luck with your fig
Beautiful work. I really appreciate the how well you break down the steps. I’ll be attempting this on my next project. Cheers!
thank you very much
This was great as usual. Keep up the good work
Thanks lukas, happy see you still around
Great vid, it went straight to my 'tutorials' playlist. What is this vibrant pink/magenta paint?
old vallejo fluo magenta which i dont recommend on the bottle and then model color magenta

@@resourcefulminiatures thank you so much! i'll give it a try immediately then, just finished base coloring and oil washing a model to try it on.
What kind of black wash did you use? Looks good
simply 2/3 parts water to 1 part paint :)
Great video! I'm going to have to try this
Thank you, glad you liked it

Amazing! 😮
Thank you!

alchemist from flesh of gods if im not mistaken
Nice use of the technique. where is this mini from?

I think you used too much paint...
it was exagerated to be more eye catching, and who know whats inside that flask...
Well you better do thiner glazes...attention the end it looks like you just drybrushed all over the front
Subbbbbb
