I love this concept of dry brushing over Contrast Paints. I’d love to see more in this series, as well as what you, as an experienced painter, can achieve with with contrast paint and drybrushing on flat panel vehicles. Nice work!
Contrast paint is basically a glaze/shade so drybrushing over it is the same as basecoats
I am really enjoying discovering this too! You'll definitely see more very soon!
Thanks for the comment 🤩
Nighthaunts are my favorite AOS models. Love all the flowing lines.
Thanks so much for the support buddy! I really enjoyed painting it, glad you think so 😊
It always gives me more confidence to see a painter with paint on his hands. I'm serious. And thank you very much for this tutorial! I got a whole batch of these wonderful models to do and I think I'll use this style! ;D
😊👨🏼🎨We agree - what's a real painter without paints on his hands 😅 And you're so welcome! Very glad our content serves you as an inspiration! Thanks so much for the support
I don’t even play AoS but I enjoy painting Nighthaunt models so much. Just plain fun! I gotta get that carriage piece eventually.
I think we all do dude. I've been looking for an excuse to include the models in other armies for ages 😊
This is awesome man, I really like the combo of dry brushing and contrast paints for getting a really high quality tabletop standard across an entire army without needing to take an age on each individual model. I'd really like to see you do more stuff like this across a few different model ranges since they all seem to give me some kind of inspiration.
Cheers Patrick, we've got plenty on the list dude, I just have to learn each one, if it's something I haven't painted before. Most of the videos you see are the first or second time I've painted a scheme :)
@@ArtisOpus I look forward to what you do next man, love your videos!
So far this is one of the best videos, I like this method very much and hope to see it more often.
Amazing to hear! Very glad you enjoyed it! More is definitely coming, stay tuned 😊
Wow I wish this had come out when I started night haunt; this is an amazing and enjoyable way to go about it.
Thanks for the comment Noah! It's all about having fun ^_^
same here
Another great tutorial and inspiring as to what I'll do with the small number of Nighthaunts and looks simpler and quicker than the traditional way I see many use love to see more like it.
Thanks so much! That's exactly what we're going for ^_^
Nice use of various techniques. Also nice to see the entire artis range in use.
Thank you very much for the constant Richard!🤩
Amazing result. I've learned quit a lot for I am an absolute beginner, gathering as much inspiration and Tipps for painting minis.
Looks amazing! :)
Thanks dude, glad we've been of help! :)
Your a braver man than me some of them nighthaunt models are so delicate I'd be terrified drybrushing them
It's all about bracing the model and using the tip of the bristles 😊
Ive got a nighthaunt army coming in the post, received a box of your dry brushes already and I’m super excited to get stuck in with them 😊
One of THE best fantasy armies for great results fairly fast, especially with the technique, enjoy! :)
Definitely would love to see more schemes. Also, finally got my series D!
YEY! Thanks so much for the purchase! Happy hobbying 😊🥰
Thank you. Just phenomenal and a real eye opener for me.
Amazing to hear Karl! Very pleased you're finding our videos helpful 😊 Thanks so much for the support!
They really are great models.
Big love for the ghosties!
Wanted to pop back into this video and observe: this strategy works extremely well for painting a fully assembled Lady Olynder. Trying to conventionally wash shade Olynder is nearly impossible if she is completely together due to the chaotic spread of tendrils flowing behind the model. Entirely basing her in a dark color as seen here and then dry brushing upwards from there makes her far less of a pain.
Hi! Can I make a production suggestion / request?
I think it might be an idea to provide, either at the start or very end of these brilliant tutorials, a more in-focus, steady and lit picture of the completed model? Or a turnaround?
A lot of far less professional or capable tutorials do this and I really appreciate it. The mini-in-front-of-hand view is fine but I often fine it a little quick, wobbly and hard to make out.
Just a thought.
I get a lot from your tutorials, thanks so much for your time and hard work.
Absolutely my dude! We have more showcases in our recent videos, but it is absolutely something we are looking to get better at, and do more. A lot of the reason why is my ineptitude with technology, the new video editor is a professional photographer though, so there's some significant upgrades imminent!
@@ArtisOpus You’re a gem. Thanks fella.
@@robertbullen5769 Any time, buddy, quite a lot of the stuff that's changed in recent times comes about as a result of feedback or was at least sparked by comments (e.g. our 'glossary' lower thirds). We'll take it all!
Lovely work once again, can’t wait to see what comes next.
Thank you very much Kyle! 🤩 Stay tuned, we have very interesting tutorials coming!
giving me ideas again!
Our pleasure Geoff 😊 Thanks for the support!
Great stuff, I can't wait for my brush set to arrive. :)
Thanks so much buddy! Did you get your brushes? Hope they serve you well 😊
Back doing some test runs. Once again really nice results. All I need now is my series D to arrive
Amazing Martin! Thanks so much for the support
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes man, soooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome
I'm super happy to see this work on smaller model.
I have the D brush set now and I have a question.
When do you use the small one ?
I really don't understand this one... In fact I use the Large and medium... But the two other are kind of not use.
Can you show one use in a video ?
Can you do one human minis also (like a barbarian) of the small size ?
I really like your channel :)
Hi Kriss, you'll have an answer to this in the next couple of days! :) We're painting up indomnitus models currently, and it's almost exclusively using the small brushes, we're quite pleased with the result!
We're getting a lot of flesh requests, once we've done power armour and robots it's on the short-list :)
Looks fantastic
Many thanks Nick❤
Love this video! You are a great artist. Like the Nighthaunt colour concept and the painting technic.
Please, show more Painting Videos of minis from the AoS!
Thank you! Will do buddy!😊
This is beautiful. Great job as always! 👍
Glad you like it! Thanks so much for the support😊
Awesome, as usual. Thanks! Artis
Thank you too! 😊
Great video. Going to give this a go. Looking to up my skills so will follow this.
Yeah Im dreading drybrushing the briar queen haha great video again guys
Good luck mate😊 It's an awesome mini! Thanks for the support
Thanks for this video! I asked for a Nighthaunt drybrushing video and waited for it before painting my Nighthaunt Warcry warband. Now I know the technique...but I have mostly green and purple colours in mind so I'll try to find some colours that work. If you can, make a green and/or purple Nighthaunt painting video in the future :)
Yey! You're very welcome buddy! Your wishes - our command 😊 Thanks so much for the support and happy painting 🥰👨🏼🎨 Also, your suggestion is added to the list.
Great tutorial. Have you covered off in your series about taking care of your dry brushes after use and why you use that little dipper thing (technical term 😁!!!)?
Dampening pad! 😊 Have a look here:
ua-cam.com/video/cssz5IyFOXs/v-deo.html
We'll be doing a cleaning tutorial soon too!
You know! Just an idea, there are not very many different schemes on the Scarlett doom faction, nor the one with the metallic scheme. I think if you made a video like that, overtime it’s possible it would gain quite a bit of traction! I’m searching everywhere for one. I’m gonna settle on your advice though because so far- this scheme looks the best.
Very nice job. Definitely in my alley of doing things and my school of thought that you can get more than decent results without the need of very difficult techniques or tools. Outstanding. Subbed and I am sure I will have a mention of you in my channel!
Thanks so much mate, glad you like him! Happy hobbying :)
Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! I made a couple of slight changes (ratling grime for the metal and graves, rust, etc), but I'm super happy with how these came out. Do you know if there's a way to reverse this process for dreadscythe harridans? I primed mine white and I was hoping to use the same process, just inverted.
Once again another great vid idk what it is your video tutorials just blow me away and make want to get whatever model your painting there great also do you have a website or something where I can view your work ik your a company but still the work you do feels more like a UA-camrs work or something it's great.
Wish I done night haught army now 😅
So I’m trying to achieve doomfire magenta flames that start out straight doomfire magenta and then fade to white. My fiancé helped me by adding a pallet and using a little bit of white. Like we slowly added more white to the different pools of magenta and got lighter and lighter shades. So right now I think I’m ok but I’d still like to know what you would do.
No worries man, I would prime the entire thing light grey, drybrush it white, and then just dilute more and more with medium toward the bottom, letting the white basecoat show through :)
I was just wondering if you think one of the new Contrast blues would work instead of your mix of Leviadon and Aethermatic and which you’d use?
As long as they're not the nuts strong ones, I'd go two coats thinned a little, for safety :)
IF you wanted to do this process in red what reds would you use? I gave it a try using your method it came out looking the same even when using differnent color reds. My goal was to try and make the physical top cloak look different from the ghostly bottom part.
It depends how disgusting you want to go, flesh tearers with a spot of purple and black in: blood :D
Our upcoming bloodthirster in contrast should be a good representation of what can be done, you might want to use more medium than we do, though :)
@@ArtisOpus sweet i look forward to seeing that bloodthirster. Ordered your D line brushes on black friday so ill even have the tools!
Great 👌
Cheers, dude!
'Spooktacular'... I guess if you'd made any mistakes you could remove them with some 'spirit'..? I'll get me coat!
HAHA! Thank you so much Paul! We call him Casper 😊
I’m having an extremely hard time wrapping my head around this….can someone please explain how to do it with doom fire magenta, I’ve never done Nighthaunt before and just got a black coach
Hey dude, that's a different paint, and you've given no details of what you'd like to achieve.
Let us know in another comment (not a reply to this, it'll get lost).
Hello hello. Super Nice tuto. I wondered if you World want to try a fireball like nighthaunt? Good day everyone
Do you have any plans to show off your technique on seraphon/lizardmen?
We hadn't, they're getting some new releases though so they might be worth covering. They're quite a nice army to paint quickly 🦕😊
And please Do more nighthaunt, in the Name of nagash 👍
I had so much fun doing this, we'll be doing some alternate 'none-typical' schemes in the near future :)
@@ArtisOpus cant wait to See 😍
Where did u get that mat , it looks dope
store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing < Can't recommend it enough, mate, such a useful tool, we've got small and big ones :)
For a beginner mini painter who's mostly painted detailed heavy contrast friendly minis, with the Nighthaunts what are some colours you'd recommend?
We have several tutorials, it's worth checking them out. It depends what scheme you are going for :)
@@ArtisOpus Black and grey with morghast bone for the boney bit's.
What colour did you use for the mask?
The same as the silver on the sword, any light silver is fine, the wash we talk about is the important bit :)
Could you do a video on painting flesh tones?
Absolutely, it is on the list! Just let us get some Power-Armer out of the way first. 😊
Artis Opus sweet! would be particularly interested in seeing this done with a dry brushing technique. I used your ghost wall video and did a motorcycle with it and it turned out absolutely incredible. Anyway that I could send you guys some pics?
Do any of these tequnies help for doing metalic armour ,edit I mean drybrushing/stippling and stuff as a broad term not specifically this model but the use of contrasts reminded me of when I was attempting metallic armour
would a medium work fine for this? cant buy a large here unfortunately :(
Yeah buddy! :)
We ship worldwide, btw, if that helps 😉
@@ArtisOpus Haha yeah I will be ordering the L, dampening pad and a texture pad soon. Appreciate all you do man, thanks for being in this space.
How would you go about doing this in a red/orange tone?
Hi there, I'd start from deep blue-purple like many of our tutorials, then transition through mephiston, troll slayer, fluorescent orange, then flash gits - into ice yellow from vallejo, adding fluorescent yellow to finish.:)
Do you still plan to make that brush care video? I am really keen on your product but I am afraid that I'd mishandle a rather expensive tool.
Hey buddy! We're currently working on the in-depth drybrushes care video. In the meantime have you looked at this one: ua-cam.com/video/YtusgeEr3tM/v-deo.html
Also if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask! We're here to help with anything 😊
Where can I get a painting mat like that?
What is the list of paints needed for this?
What's on the underside of that base?
Underside? Sometimes I point a coin under to magnetise them to holders
@@ArtisOpus got it. Thanks.
Love the blue over green for nighthaunt. Lovely choice of colours. Now where's my wallet...
Hehe glad you enjoyed it😁And thanks for the support, buddy!
Hey, that came out great! Never used contrast paint myself and still not convinced by them but starting to re-consider, also, quick question, what colours would you use for dead (ish) skin if you were avoiding green, I have some battle servitors to paint and not sure how to do the skin bits on the head without going to a green ish tone as the rest of my colour scheme is super green heavy and I'm worried they will disappear a bit!
Blue and Purple works really good for a soft under tone for dead/corrupt looking skin. Start off with grey and go to lighter shades as you high light and use a soft glaze over it all to bring it together and add the dead look.
@@jostonpowell1346 cheers mate, I will give that a shot!
@@jostonpowell1346 cheers mate, I will give that a shot!
@@jostonpowell1346 cheers mate, I will give that a shot!
Couldn't agree more, purple is perfect 😊 Thanks you guys for the support
That's a pretty nice model ya end up with there. Wondering, since ya like the fluorescent paints, if you'd be interested in trying to do something synthwave inspired? Seen a few people on reddit and in hobby groups looking to do something like it on their Necrons and I had a go a few years ago with this scheme i.imgur.com/tFaDjg6.png for a tournament. Although that's just an impcat pic, I'm too lazy to go grab mine.
Your terrible beard was distracting
ok :D
