Nice work 👍 If anyone wants to use this paint scheme, I highly recommend you mix a paint pot of this mixture. It'll make your paint job consistent and mean you won't have to do any more mixing thereafter.
Thank you! And great advice too 😃.
I'm relatively new to the whole Warhammer 40k hobby, I love painting figures, and my next army will be a Bad Moons Orks army. So my question, maybe I'm just a bit inexperienced, but how would you mix a paint pot to get the color exactly like in the video? I mean, sure, I could try experimenting until it works, but I'm not sure if I trust myself to potentially ruin two colors completely if I do it wrong because the color scheme looks really amazing.
@@skagsh0ck960 yep. I have some spares and I just pour them until I have the desired ratio. It's easier than you'd think.
Good idea I will do that!
Yeah, but then all your orks look the same
I've learned a lot of this by myself recently, but that first nearly 4 minutes of the video was an *excellent* tutorial on how to drybrush well. Really like the "you're doing this /because/" method+reason explanation for folks who don't currently use the methods in their technique 👍
Awesome, glad you found it useful! Honestly, and this is gonna sound counter intuitive to a UA-cam channel, but I definitely prefer the "learn by myself method" unless I have not clue where to begin. You develope your own style, discover techniques that work to that style as well as ways to correct your mistakes. I think it makes for a more adaptive painter. Of course tutorials are great and we all learn in different ways, but as an impulsive tactile learner, the DIY experimentation strategy is severely underrated 😄.
As someone new to painting, I really appreciate the fact that you explained the reasoning behind your color choices. And the thought process of what you were doing, and why.
I’m new too, that was very helpful
Learning this was one of those HUGE jumps in my painting career. I'd get so frustrated when blending for highlights and until I realized I was mixing like a cooler highlight with a warmer midtone or something like that I kept getting disappointed considering my blending had gotten pretty smooth. Just mixing the right shade of a highlight color (I.e. a warm skin tone with a warm green) makes ALL the difference!!! Warm. Cold. Saturated and Unsaturated. Getting those down is a game changer!
That technique of putting some medium on the model and then putting the colour on top of that is essentially wet blending. With a little practice you can very easily get awesome gradients going on capes and the like. And once you get a feel for that you can do NMM effects very easily. It's a very clever little trick and I'll find a bunch of uses for it.
Also, I love makeup brushes for drybrushing. They're awesome at getting that smooth, faux airbrushed zenital look.
I’ve been looking for a very bright ork skin for a while. This is great.
I thought black templar was more of blue black AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Glad to see someone else found my favourite brushes. Artists loft level 3 “professional” acrylic brushes are cheap and super durable. They have a pretty decent point as well. Here in Canada Michael’s is the best spot, coupons are always available and quite often there is a 2/1 deal or a buy 2 get 1 deal.
YES! They are weirdly obscure for some reason. I will say that I've recently tried Game Envy's synthetics and liked them a lot. They are really similar in feel and I think hold a point a bit longer. But you can't beat the Artist Loft for best bang for your buck.
So much information and straight to the point. My only complaint… I have to go spend money on some new paints and Boyz so I can try it out.
Very nice. I noticed how green the Black Templars contrast is when I was painting variant colored Stormcasts.
Hey darcy i'm starting to paint my ork goff boyz with shirts and their many straps, what contrast paints would u recommend that doesnt blend in with their black pants?? Btw awesome painting tutorial helps a fellow ork player out
Thanks! I like to paint my Goff shirts a grungy khaki (2 drop Skeleton Horde + 1 Ratling Grime) and their buckles in either Wyldwood Brown or Cygor Brown (a red mahogany brown)
I love my elf brushes for drybrushing. They are cheap and can do 90% of the work the fancy brushes do.
Ima total noob this looks amazing. Currently awaiting my first combat patrol
Aaay thank you welcome to the hobby! While you're waiting, I highly recommend downloading the Citadel Colour App if you haven't already seen it. It's free and is a fantastic tool for beginners and experienced painters alike. There are many different recipes all sorted by color spectrum, as well as video tutorials ranging from getting started to more advanced techniques :)
For SpeedPaint I would recommend "camo cloak" that also makes a nice Ork skintone.
Yet another brilliant video, so easy to follow and beautifully presented
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great tutorial! This is very close to how I painted my orks, but I used a 1:1:1 mix of orc flesh, plague bearer flesh, and medium for the skin tone. It’s close but I think I like yours better.
Thank you always for your explanations! For example using Black Templar versus Black Legion.
Painting some W'adruhn and this is definitely going to be a lifesaver, was not satisfied with my usual "contrast over white" method
Ufthak is such a nice skulpt. Lots going on but not overdone. It's not a busy sculpt. I can't wait to paint one.
Nice job Darcy. I really like the darker look to the green skin.
I am going to do my favorite method for starting a slapchop method then use your greenekin method. I'll focus a little more white on the skin, and grey, and go from there. I feel like that'll push the contrast a little more on the darker recesses of the rest of the model. We're painting Boss Snikrot today, (I'll probably forget) so we'll update later!
Beautiful work! I love contrast paint as a tool for army painters and I’m always hunting for new contrast techniques.
Great Video!
Just started an Orc army on the Old World and wanted to ask what you think of Ork Flesh as a Contrast paint? I am looking for a more darker green skintone. If Ork Flesh is suitable in your opinion, which green color would you suggest for drybrushing? :)
Thanks in Advance!
Holy crap. This was exactly what I've been looking for
By far the fastest and easiest way I've ever painted any skin, and with the amazing results. This recipe is da best! Thank you so much for this.
Great idea how to achieve really cool looking skin without too much layers and time. Gonna test it for sure
To prevent chalkiness you can use the Pro Acryl equivalent color. Seriously this was a great tutorial!
Thank you! It's funny you mentioned it, I actually had originally recorded suggesting using Pro Acryl Bright Ivory. They're by far my favorite range, they're just not as accessible for some so I nixed it.
@@DarcyBonoCreations Absolutely, it's much easier using Citadel for a lot of tutorials since alot of not most people use them. That "reverse glaze" (that was the way my brain interpreted it) where you laid the Lahmium Medium first then the thin highlight color was pretty slick!
I used this method and I love it ! Thank you so much you absolute genius !
Thanks for this. Do you have a preferred goblin skin contrast mix? Perhaps something lighter?
Since the grots/goblins aren't usually in a ton of armor, I like to do them in a kind of pale grey green like in the following:
ua-cam.com/video/gmNfcj8N7-o/v-deo.html
Thats one lovely looking Greenskin! Waaaagh!!!!
Ay thanks Peachy-er I mean- WAAAGH!
This odd the best! I just got done orks and so I have been researching so much! I need more!
Is this the same recipe you used for the Deffkoptas you posted a few months back? It looks great.
Great looking work skin, going to try this with ufthak, when he turns up 😊
Really helpful narration
I hear "dampen" together with drybrush, I press thumbs up.
Fantastic and easy to follow tutorial!!! Consider me subscribed! About to start up the Imperium Ork Premium box soon. Got them all built, but have been avoiding painting them because I wasn't sure how to go about it (May go Bad Moon, because I don't have any forces in yellow). After seeing this, I'll definitely pick up the Ork Combat Patrol box to go with it, to build up around a 1k force.
Thanks for the sub! Aw yis, Badmoons are my favorite Orks to paint. I love my Goffs most of all, but that yellow armor is so much fun to paint/weather.
Going to try this out on my kroot! Wasn't a big fan of the muted colors of them
first time here new sub love your work you have Talent and beauty great combo :)
Hey welcome! Thanks for the sub 😀
Lovely paint job, I had been mixing Militarum and Ork Flesh, with similar colour highlights, but I might try your mix for my next project as it seems more yellow which I like
Thank you! Yeah I had been using Militarum as well but it doesn't have quite the pop. It's great for the classic artwork Goffs that were muted green and black and brown though.
Just wish I had a pot here to test it, its too long to wait till I get to the old FLGS
I do something similar to this but just use gut rippa flesh instead of a mix.
Great tutorial! Was wondering could this be done with a different contrast paint than with Mantis Warriors? I really like the main colour. My orks are also mostly elysian green but with a recess shade of Biel-Tan.
I really haven't tried other combinations to get the same result. Mantis Warrior Green is the closest Contrast paint to Elysian Green and there aren't many other yellow greens in the range.
Hey Darcy…any chance you could make a quick video showing how you painted the Goff checkers on ufthak Blackhawks towel?
Actually Warhammer TV already has it covered. This is the video that showed me how to do it:
ua-cam.com/video/jvOdUg8PJZ0/v-deo.htmlsi=HqsyVAXd-yH66aBh
I give this video 2 WAAAAGHS way up! I've always done the drybrush wraithbone over black, plaguebearer flesh, then biel tan green shade over but this one looks great!
But can you paint salamanders 😏
Eventually 😉
Hello, did a grey seer could make the job instead of the adminstum undercoat ? Or it will make it to bright for the rest of the paints ? Thx for this awesome skin routine
You CAN use Grey Seer instead of a midtone like Mechanicus, but like you said it will make the recesses much brighter so your shadows won't be as dark meaning you'll lose contrast (the visual effect not the paint type 😄). It won't look bad just won't look quite the same as the video.
Amazing, love the different levels
Awesome tutorial, I used to paint orks back on 8e but never really nailed it, found it quite difficult really.
But this is a great vid to get me started again and the article on how to do the rest is just the cherry on top. Cheers mate! 10/10
Just found your channel. Great job on the model and liked by your presenting style. Got your a sub my dude
Aw well thank you! 😊
Great video, you gave me new ideas to deal with green in general, not only about (green)skin tones. Did you even tried to deal with the nemesis blade with contrast? I'm struggling very hard to find a comfortable way, especially when i have to blend (colors tend to reactivate even dried).
Great tip on finding stopping points, hadn't thought about that. Sometimes its a panic to get all the surfaces coated at once to avoid the stain edges.
Do you recommend transferring contrast paints to dropper bottles? It seems like a lot of work, but I definitely prefer a dropper bottle to the stupid citadel pot.
I personally do because I use them frequently in my airbrush. It also makes mixing easier. I bought this kit from Huge Minis and found it really helpful (full disclosure it's an affiliate link):
hugeminis.com/product/glass-dropper-bottle-transfer-kit/ref/darcybonocreations/.
You could always buy the dropper bottles on Amazon and pick up a cheap funnel at a hardware store too of course. I just like that theirs came with the agitators.
@@DarcyBonoCreationsThanks, boss
This is awesome! Thank you Darcy
For a painter like myself who’s sort in that medium-ish skill level this is a truly outstanding video. Your explanation of the techniques and why you’re choosing each brush is incredibly helpful!
great explelation and nice add of, to me unknown knowledge. Really enjoyed your style of "presenting". Will take a look at your channel
Great tutorial, thanks!
Damp papertowels not a bad idea. I made a dry brush pallet but sometimes I still want moisture, smart
Yeah I don't do it all the time. It's mainly if you're building up layers of drybrushing over smoother surfaces.
Nice job!
Can you explain how to do the yellow armor? ;)
Yep, just Nazdreg Yellow Contrast (using a little Contrast Medium to smooth it out). It gives a nice grungier yellow than Imperial Fist Yellow. Then just sponged on chipping/scratches with Dorn Yellow and another chipping layer with Rhinox Hide very very lighted over the previous chipping pattern. There's a video demonstration starting at 8:23 in the following video (ua-cam.com/video/u4kjFZ-R3Ok/v-deo.htmlsi=o6gxpOa5U6mUkP1b)
2:44 Using a texture palette should make it possible to skip this step and allow you to start drybrushing wherever you wanted.
Hello Darcy, Awesome Video as usual! I am a recent convert to 40k, building Black Templars and i saw you emperors champion model on Warhammer Community spotlights. Absolutely Stunning! Couldn't find a tutorial for it on any of your links though and I'm hoping you have one lying around as im pretty psyched to start painting up the army in that scheme. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you! Oh wow I totally forgot about him 😅. Sorry, that was before I started doing videos more regularly. Honestly, I recommend checking out all the black color recipes in the Citadel Colour app. It's a free app with a library of how to paint various reds, white and blacks. I do have a video on painting a cool blue black when I did Leagues of Votann: ua-cam.com/video/JvQjhXezdic/v-deo.html
There's also a video on purity seals from a few months ago that you may find helpful for the most pious of Space Marine chapters 😉.
Got it! Thanks so much@@DarcyBonoCreations
Sorry forgot the link for the purity seals: ua-cam.com/video/5al4Ggf3sXY/v-deo.htmlsi=JSVlxIMLWNoalidr
Did something change with the vallejo camo green since you recorded this? because I've looked at it in store recently and it appears to be a darker and more muted tone than elysian green, so I don't understand how you are using that as a highlight color.
Not to my knowledge. Vallejo updated their entire Game Color series this past year. The bottle in the picture is the current revamped bottle, which I bought about a week before this video. I know there's a Vallejo Model Color which is way darker, but the current bottle I have is pretty close to Elysian.
@@DarcyBonoCreations hmm, maybe my eyes are just poorly calibrated then. May have to just buy a bottle and see what it looks like dry on plastic then.
Dont know how I got here but I like it.... you get a subscribe :)
Well thank you! 😀
hi darcy, do you think this recipe would be suitable to replicate the box art armor of the cadians? or should i mix some brown in it?
Hi! I actually already have a Cadian box art Contrast guide here: ko-fi.com/post/How-to-Easily-Paint-the-Cadians-G2G7GMRJI
You could possibly use Mantis Warrior Green instead of Creed Camo in the mix in the article, but you'd like need to do two coats since Mantis Warrior is more transparent/brighter.
@@DarcyBonoCreations thank you! i actually tried to replicate that one with mantis warrior green, but i failed miserably lol. i’ll try with your original one
I accidentally came across mantis Warrior green when GW released their second wave of contrast paints. I figured it would just be some sort of variation of plague bearer flesh.
However when I painted it over white scar it became this toxic irradiated yellow green saturated color that had also left deep and dark green contrast whenever I went over any recesses.
I was using it as a test replacement for Tesseract glow, and I was pleasantly surprised with how bold and contrasty mantis warrior green came out.
I never thought of adding another contrast paint, such as your black Templar example, which honestly would be the opposite of what I’m looking to do, but I liked your Elysian Green idea which is a GW paint that I usually pass at the store because in the bottle it comes off as a desaturated earthy green.
But what strange is in your video, it appeared more of a yellow green but with a little bit more yellow?
Not sure what I could do to enhance the color to push it a little bit more so it pops. I could certainly experiment with Elysian Green, however I’ve been recently experimenting with colors like AK interactive pistachio or the new Vallejo game color bio green which I think might do the trick if I sent it down although it’s already very thin. Perhaps I could add some fluorescent yellow? I’ve also been playing around with scale 75 and I came across a neat color called toxic waste, green or maybe even pro acryl Dark yellow, green, thin down with their glaze and wash medium…
Definitely have some ideas that I’m gonna go home and play around with .
I appreciate our videos grabbed a few recipes because they worked out really well on a few projects of mine, such as the antique gold with the Garaghak’s Sewer mixed with skeleton horde over silver. I’ve also been using undercoats for my metallics such as XV 88 for gold and mechanicus standard gray as a base color before I paint silver.
Well thank you, glad you found them useful! And have you tried Striking Scorpion Green. It's not quite as yellow as Tesseract Glow, but it's more saturated. Here's an example over white: instagram.com/p/C0Ec14kOnk9/?igsh=bW40YnM5bXA0ODA4
I'm not sure if you're in the US, but this fluorescent as a highlight color to it, makes it eye-searingly bright yellow green if that's what you're looking for: hugeminis.com/product/quantum-green/
What do you think of plague bearer flesh for ork skin?
I'm personally not a fan of it. It's one of the much more transparent Contrast paints so it results in a really pale yellow green. I think it would look better as the underbelly for a monster rather than an entire skin color. That being said, I have used it as a glaze before to blend the transitions in yellow greens before, but not as the foundation for a skin tone.
Where did you buy the applies for counting drops?
They're dropper bottles. Here's an all-in-one kit I use: hugeminis.com/product/rustproof-dropper-bottle-transfer-kit/ref/darcybonocreations/
You can also find cheap ones on Amazon: a.co/d/bq23BTd
Love this method - the layering on top of the contrast isn't something I've tried before
I have a bunch of orcs to paint for old world so might give this recipe a go it looks easy enough for me, I like how you explain in detail and don’t use 10 different brands of paint to do one miniature like some UA-camrs, seriously who is going to buy that many different brands of paint, I have only GW paints to use at the moment so I really appreciate when you list the citadel equivalent of something else, great work as always 👍🏻
Thank you! Yeah I try and keep things simple and accessible. Glad you appreciate it :)
Do you plan on making a tutorial on how to paint zombie/Nurgle flesh any time soon?
I do already have this one on how I paint my undead/mutant minis: ua-cam.com/video/uABwVI10gWk/v-deo.html
@@DarcyBonoCreations Nice, thanks!
Do you have a recipe for grots?
Just found your channel today. Instant subscribe. I have been looking into how I can make my models pop, and here you are. Thanks!
Well thanks for checking it out! 😃
Thank you, what was very helpful.
I like the way you talk!
Well thanks! My voice has been described as both "sing-song" and "androgynous" so I'm glad you appreciate it 😄.
word choice and sentence structure on point as well! All to the point but explained fully@@DarcyBonoCreations
Excellent technique and even better explanation of each step. Cheers!
Do you have a necron "how to"?
Great video! I’ll be sharing this on our pages for WIP Wednesday! ♥️♥️♥️ Waaaaaaaaag
Hey thanks guys! Can't wait to finally say hi in person this summer 😁
What did you use for the leather boots? It doesn’t say on your kofi page
Oh crap I'm sorry about that! It's Cygor Brown straight from the pot. I've updated the page, thanks for letting me know.
@@DarcyBonoCreations thanks! Love the paint job, you inspired me to try out some contrast paints
waw, i love your recipe for the ork skin. I m gonna trying the eavy metal style ^^. But one day i think im gonna test your skin ork paint ^^
Thanks! Love your Rash Battletoads pic btw 😄.
@@DarcyBonoCreations a battletoad lover yeah ! High five ! :D
To this day, I have NEVER beat the one on SNES. I can't get past the bike level!
@@DarcyBonoCreations I sympathize x). I finished the game a few years ago when I was sick, how can I say that I had a hard time xD
Thanks for all the advice and linking me these videos on the Omaha Warhammer group!
Oh wow thanks so much! Hope to get a game with you sometime 😁
This is the way!! 👌
Thank you!
Your channel is great one of my new faves
Great video Darcy, you've earned a new subscriber here. Side note..every darn time I think I've put my speed paints/contrast paints away for good in favor of my acrylics I stumble upon a video like this one and find myself taking them right back out again. Thanks a lot....lol.
Hey thank you! And YEEEAASS! Join ussss in the Cult of Contrasssst 😈.
Quick question if i may Darcy. As a general rule do you thin all of your contrast paints with medium before applying or are you a "straight from the pot" kinda gal? I'm asking because ive noticed a pretty significant difference in the saturation levels between the different colors. Thanks.@@DarcyBonoCreations
It depends on the color and the surface that I'm painting. Really thin colors like Skeleton Horde and Aethermatic Blue I tend to use straight from the pot because they're not very saturated. For more heavily pigmented colors like Cygor Brown, I use thinner as it helps the pigment spread more evenly and not over saturated one area. For textured surfaced I generally use straight from the pot since I don't have to worry about the pigment pooling in one spot since it sinks into the recesses of textured surfaces.
Obligatory WAAAAAAAAAGH for the algorithm
WAAAAGH! The absolute best algorithm offering you can have in my book 🥰. Thank you!
Great video!
nice thanks
👌👌👌
Awesome!
Very intelligent commentary
Agree! This is one of the best commentaries I have heard on UA-cam! Super well done!
That is an incredibly kind compliment, thank you!
