Always baffles me that you don't have more subscribers. You post regular, informative, realistic content that can be replicated by a novice/amateur. Thank you for your continued efforts to grow the hobby and share your experience.
Well thank you, that is very much appreciated. I don't worry much about the numbers, The community and the people who watch and learn, that is the reason I do this and it means the world to me to hear it's helpful. :)
Love all the videos and again this is great for explaining how to produce high quality minis in less time. My painting has improved a huge amount in the last two months from watching your videos.
9:22 I had an ah ha, light bulb moment. I never thought of using the wash to wet blend! Brilliant! As always great teaching and video quality. Thank you.
The results look great - I shall give this a go for the pile of grots I've got to paint. Using different greens should give me a generally cohesive look but a bit of the variation I like to see in a group of grots.
That's Vince's hidden cameras doing all his dirty work. I've swept the whole house and can't find them and every time I have a question he posts the answer before I can even ask.
7:26 Vince using washes as a light contrast paint, before contrast paints where cool! All kidding aside, I love glazing over a zenithal, which is what the wash does in this case.
Hi Vince Excellent video as usual. I have been searching the web lately to see if the reverse verdacchio technique (red under coating rather than green undercoat) would work for a green-toned skin (just got a boatload of Mailfaux gremlins, L5R Goblins, and Bushido Savage Wave bakemono), and lo and behold, you come to the rescue!! Would this work for any set of complementary colors as well Bluish-toned or Orange-toned skin-tones, for example. Also, would LOVE to see you do tutorials on Asian, Hindu, African and Mayan skin tones as well. Thx Scott
I have a tutorial on Dark Skin Tones (more African), the complimentary undercoat works the best with green, as thered is playing double duty, it's warm red (which is what we recognize as life under skin - i.e. blood, the human eye is trained to recognize the undershade of red being something alive, and we see zombies and vampires and such lose that red). That being said, it could work for richness of tone, but wouldn't play that double duty.
@@VinceVenturella thanks for the reply. I'd like to send you some pics of the results and get your feedback if that would be alright? If it is how should I send the pics?
The black was just some flow improver with black ink and the spear shaft was Scale 75 inktensity wood, a quick drybrush and then seraphim sepia over top.
Hmm...I am about to embark on painting around 30 Seraphon Skinks, I might modify this technique for that purpose. If I went with the traditional Skink blue color, I suppose I'd undershade with a dark orange, is that correct?
Hmm, orange could work as the complimentary. You could also try a sort of Magenta purple, that might give a nice rich tone as well. The complimentary nature of the red is a good "blood" and undertone. The red/purple could do the same here. I would say do a test model with each and see which you like.
So could I use zenithal highlighting for something I wanted mostly red with black and white but use an army painter dark red/brown? Im going to paint some infinity nomads and want to try mostly glazes that I saw in your hobby cheating glazes.
@@VinceVenturella thanks, I have to say that I really love your hobby cheating videos. It's really nice that you take the time out to read and reply to questions, you must get so many.
That looks fantastic, and is the nicest skin I've seen! I've just started in the hobby and don't want to commit to an airbrush just yet. What prep work could I do with just rattlecans/brush?
It's tougher. That being said, a good deep red primer with an ivory rattle can from above at a good distance will be a good zenithal that will set the goblin up very similar here.
wait, so you don't wait for the wash to dry? I'been living a lie? What else has people keep a secret from me? Do you paint with the bristles of the brush right?
Many of the things we learn right when we start we learn because they are good pieces of advice. The issue is, in the words of Captain Barbosa - "they're really more guidelines." ;)
Vince, love your videos! I have seen your video, regarding painting purple and I was wanting to paint my goblins clothing, in a true/neutral purple ( not cold or warm). Would you still recommend priming goblins in a red or would you suggest a different priming color? Thank you for the content you make, I know it has helped me out a great deal; keep up the good work.
If you have a smart phone i would recommend the app called paintRack in 99% of chases it will give you the closets approximation to the color used in the video as an example Vallejo plae sand would be citadel: Dry Eldar Flesh, p3 Ryn flesh, reaper fair skin and scale75: golden skin
Totally fair, I've certainly learned more on shooting the model in the 300 videos intervening. :) - I have a more updated video on this - ua-cam.com/video/5IE2_9zQKT4/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

Glad it was helpful!
One of my favourite videos ever! Thanks for this one Vince. Wouldn't have thought of the red negative zenithal - that is hobby cheating gold!
Thank you, happy to help as always. :)
The one dislike is from a person who wasted his life waiting for washes to dry...
Thanks for another awesome video Vince
I have never used a hair dryer in my life (early male pattern baldness, but also in miniature painting) and I don't plan to start now. :)
Fantastic Mr V.
As Tom Keating said, it’s all in the preparation.
The Old Masters did not waste time. Time is money etc.
Best wishes to you,
Hugh.
Absolutely agree sir. It's amazing how much you can achieve with just a little extra time in the preparation phase.
This absolutely feels like hobby cheating. Very nice.
It's a return to form for sure. Very happy to help as always. :)
Excellent tutorial as always.
That handle thing swinging around near the wash pot is giving me the fear though! 😂
giving me those traumatic flash back, ffs
I have to keep the tension up, build the suspense. :)
The results look great - I shall give this a go for the pile of grots I've got to paint. Using different greens should give me a generally cohesive look but a bit of the variation I like to see in a group of grots.
Have fun!
I opened a package this morning containing this exact goblin and wondered how to paint him and his buddies. Nice work Vince!
That's Vince's hidden cameras doing all his dirty work. I've swept the whole house and can't find them and every time I have a question he posts the answer before I can even ask.
It's drones...I mean, must just be crazy luck. ;)
@@13Robzilla he's reading our very thoughts. Time to grab the tinfoil hats. 😀

with that orange nose it looks like he has been imbibing the mushroom moonshine heavily for years. A nice idea for the skin Vince.
Thank you sir, it's good to make them look like they have had a little bit of the moon juice. :)
Brilliant! Gonna have to repaint my Silver Tower Goblins now.
Awesome, always happy to help. :)
I’m going to use this on my Death Guard and Plaguebearers, hadn’t thought about how great the red under shade would be.
Yep, Red is the perfect undershade for a green like that, it will look great on PB and DG.
Thanks for the tips. I decided to have my entire moonclan battleline made of these oop wfb 4th ed night goblins. They are my big gitz!
Excellent,is that where he is from? This is the problem with playing for 20+ years, you just get figures you don't remember where they are from. :)
@@VinceVenturella yes, he was your regular infantry night gobbo from the first night gobblins plastic kit
Great tutorial! My orc/green skins are going to be darker, more black green. For the red under shade would a purple work better ?
Yep, or a deeper, heavier shade of red (like a heavier hull red) or a deep purple. Those would be great for deeper color skin.
I’m doing turquoise skin and shaded down hull red robes. I was highlighting using red to orange for the robe. What would you suggest?
Seems perfectly fine as a color combination. I think in that case, having the infusion of the yellow will be a nice pop color.
@@VinceVenturella thanks for the reply. I'd like to send you some pics of the results and get your feedback if that would be alright? If it is how should I send the pics?
How would you paint the black robes? I always have a hard time edge highlighting the black robes
So I have a video with an easy method for tackling black robes - ua-cam.com/video/pi8Pk2xGNOc/v-deo.html
Thank you sensei
So for the fully painted gobbo at the end, what did you di for the robes? Just nuln oil? And the shaft of the spear?
The black was just some flow improver with black ink and the spear shaft was Scale 75 inktensity wood, a quick drybrush and then seraphim sepia over top.
Vince Venturella For the robes - did you do something similar to your black cloth video? Just use the ink to work down from the base zenithal?
Hmm...I am about to embark on painting around 30 Seraphon Skinks, I might modify this technique for that purpose. If I went with the traditional Skink blue color, I suppose I'd undershade with a dark orange, is that correct?
Hmm, orange could work as the complimentary. You could also try a sort of Magenta purple, that might give a nice rich tone as well.

Damn! Someone have to make a patch to stop Vince cheating this way! :D
Thank you for sharing all this wisdom!

i'll try this out on my Massive Darkness goblins.
Excellent, should work well on any kind of green skinned folk. :)
That’s a great idea!

Hi vince, I think that I am Daltonist.... You say Pink, but all I see is orange. Could it be the light>
Could be, it's a very cold light I record under, so it could be that you see it differently, especially given the interference colors.
Great tip man! could you do a hobby cheating on a nice night goblin base? i love bases!
Hmmmm...I would say stay tuned for this Saturday, you may see something you like.
Can you do one for squigs?
I will have to see if I have a squig and I will add it to the list.
Vince, love your videos! I have seen your video, regarding painting purple and I was wanting to paint my goblins clothing, in a true/neutral purple ( not cold or warm). Would you still recommend priming goblins in a red or would you suggest a different priming color? Thank you for the content you make, I know it has helped me out a great deal; keep up the good work.
I think the red could still work, but you would want it light. Then a slightly cold purple might balance that out to a really rich tone.
Very timely :)
I don't usually try to align with a release or something, but this one just made sense.
If you have a smart phone i would recommend the app called paintRack in 99% of chases it will give you the closets approximation to the color used in the video as an example Vallejo plae sand would be citadel: Dry Eldar Flesh, p3 Ryn flesh, reaper fair skin and scale75: golden skin
I will check it out as that might help me when speaking to people about alternate paints in the videos. :)
Gonna try this on a bunch of DnD trolls.
Sounds like perfect minis to give it a try.
Can't really see what you're doing. Maybe zoom in a little more?
