OMG! I am watching it. I see what you did. I see how you did it... and I can't wrap my mind around it anyways. The depths, colors, light... It's beyond me. You are a master sir. One of the best there is, no matter how many times you'll say "I am not an expert on NMMs". Beautiful!
I've been a long time viewer of your content but this is one of my favorite videos of your by far. I'm just getting into painting at the 75mm scale and the way you approached this scale was so helpful! Thank you for this.
Congratulations on a superb build and imaginative use of oil paints including none-metallic metals. The whole presentation topped off by great video coverage and commentary. Again, very well done indeed.
Masterpiece. Thank you for another fantastic video. Such a small piece of plastic but you can really feel and smell that old muddy forest around the hunter. Love it.
Absolutely love this! You're the reason I got back into model painting after a 20 year break from it. I remember watching your Zombicide videos and thinking - man I miss this. 8 years later, I still love watching your vids :) - Mike from WiPi
For someone who claims not to be very good at NMM, I'd never have known it. This is a real tour de force for you, sir, and as i like working in 75 mm scale myself? I'll be referring to this one for inspiration in the future, for sure. And hey, is that Sam Witwer AKA Darth Maul as one of your patrons?! Man knows great art when he sees it!
excellent as Alway's. I've got some 75mm model's from dragonborn resin miniature's ( they are really great company and an excellent choice of mini's you can buy or print yourself ) so this video has given me some ideas for them.
Wow the miniature looks amazing! loved the story you portrayed on such a small base, I'll defiantly have to give that a go with some 75mm Mini's as well.
I have been playing around with painting some bust over the past few months. It's such a different feel than the 32mm minis. I'm so glad you did a 75mm model. It turned out awesome! I'm looking forward to trying out the B&W blocking for NMM. I struggle quite a bit with NMM and hope this tip will help my brain figure it out. I really like the footprint over the skull, it really sets the scene. Keep up the great work buddy!
I really loved this video of yours, I hope you will do more content like this, closer to display painting than board game painting. I'm also glad that you used scale artist paints as I have some challenges adjusting to them, even though they are reall high quality paints.
Congrats on the upscaling, you start mixing some colours to the metallic paints to get some more accurate shadows and after a few years you are already painting a full NMM 75mm Knight 😉. A beautiful mini and a very good composition. And as usual a flawless video.
Larger minis…gotta do one too 🤔🤩 I know why you choose blue for one color, but I might have stick to green or red, because if the wonderful yellow backround. Especially because the hunter thing, no critic , just my thoughts. We can do whatever we like 😁cheers mate
Hello Mark, it is phantastic! Thank You and I hope you will make another 75mm sculpt in future It can be your new series. I know why I´m your patreon 😁 I have a question? Isn´t it faster to make glazing ( different color tonality) as Sergio Calovo with airbrush? It is probably more effective and faster in such scale. Try it next time for us please 😉
Hi! I personally love using the Scalecolor Artist paints for NMM work; they can be used very dense and opaque, but also thin down beautifully. I also like the matte (but not ultra matte) finish. 🙂
I thought my NMM was getting alright, but you've given me a lot to think about. I can never understand where to put the smaller/more subtle reflections and shadows, only ever focusing on the big details.
Thank you! Some painters approach NMM in quite an analytical way, whilst some work very intuitively. I'm still finding my way really, but I'm somewhere in-between I guess. I can tell you that I find looking at (and taking) photos of actual metal/armour etc helps get a feel for the kinds of shapes we see formed by the shadows, reflections etc.. 😀
Its nice to see you're getting around to stuff for fun :) it turned out spectacularly. I was wondering, how do you compare the scale artist to the scale 75, or Vallejo paints?
The music during the face painting stages reminds me sooo much of Drakensang, one of my all time favorite PC RPGs 🥰 And I realize I can either concentrate on the music OR on the tutorial 😅🙈
The Maestro Sorastro name dropped a few sources of inspiration … so now he’s assigning us Homework ..!
Ha ha, yep! 😁
Absolutely LOVE NMM on miniatures! Good Work!
Thanks so much! It's a fun and rewarding technique for sure 😁
75mm Sorastro?! Let's GOOOO!
Ha ha, thanks Tom 😁
Wow a trace of a beast instead of the beast itself is so much more engaging. Very well done!
Thank you so much! 😊
such incredible work - thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks a lot Bryan! It's my pleasure really 😁
I really enjoy and appreciate how you describe your thought process throught your videos…thank you!!
Thanks a lot Daniel! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Oh my lord Jesus, this video is such an incredible work of art. Love the blues & purples. Amazing job
Ha ha, thank you Fertona 😁
omg... it looks amazing... the scalp/hair.... the armour... the base... Nicely done!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it 😀
Great composition and paint job. Love the story it tells. And that sword is perfect.
Thank you so much! 😀
Man, you make this looks so easy.
Guilty as charged! 😁
Excellent work, the paints you used for the cloth around his waist and thighs will be perfect for my Nighthaunt army!
Thank you! I'm glad you got some useful ideas 😀
OMG!
I am watching it. I see what you did. I see how you did it... and I can't wrap my mind around it anyways. The depths, colors, light... It's beyond me. You are a master sir. One of the best there is, no matter how many times you'll say "I am not an expert on NMMs". Beautiful!
Thank you very much! You're too kind 😊
Gorgeous, the metal is great and I always like the way you paint leather.
Thanks a lot Jonathan! I really appreciate that 😀
what a wonderful piece of art!
Thank you buddy! 😊
Fantastic work. Well done.
Thanks a lot buddy! 😀

Thank you so much! ☺️
Really enjoyed seeing the bigger scale and seeing it from start (basing) to end was great. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😀
Congratulations on a superb build and imaginative use of oil paints including none-metallic metals. The whole presentation topped off by great video coverage and commentary. Again, very well done indeed.
Thank you sir! I really appreciate that! (The paints were actually just acrylics rather than oils.) 🙂
Another great video. Thank you. I really like what you did. The leather looks so great
Thanks a lot Jason! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
Incredible how his face came to life 🤩 What a great model and awesome paint job, hope to see more of these 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot! I'm very glad you liked it 😀
Killer paint job
Thanks Mikey! 🤗

Phenomenal stuff, the way the model comes to life with every brush stroke.
Just discovered your channel and an easy subscribe!

Thank you so much my friend! It sure is satisfying getting to work on some larger areas - especially for the NMM stuff 😀
I really loved this video of yours, I hope you will do more content like this, closer to display painting than board game painting. I'm also glad that you used scale artist paints as I have some challenges adjusting to them, even though they are reall high quality paints.
Thank you so much! I do enjoy the higher-end painting, but it's also nice to relax a bit and throw some paint on the boardgame stuff.. 😁
OMG nice WORK man its incredible !.
Thank you kindly! ☺️

Great video, as per usual :)
Thanks a lot Josh! 😀
Amazing as always ! ;)
Thank you very much! 😊
Great vid.
Thank you buddy! 😀
@@Sorastro You're welcome.
Fantastic work and colour choices! Funny how Musou black was way darker than the plinth
Thank you! Yes, that's because it's so incredibly matte, whereas the plinth has a more glossy finish 😀
Ohhh!!! First time putting a face to the voice!
Larger minis…gotta do one too 🤔🤩
I know why you choose blue for one color, but I might have stick to green or red, because if the wonderful yellow backround. Especially because the hunter thing, no critic , just my thoughts. We can do whatever we like 😁cheers mate
Thanks! There really are limitless options when it comes to choosing colour schemes for sure.. 😀
Awesome, as ALWAYS.
Thank you, buddy! 😀
This was brilliant felt like a tutorial as well as an insight to your method, how do you take the glossiness out of the inks?
Thanks a lot! Ah yes - I should have mentioned that - I just use some AK Interactive Ultra Matte Varnish 😀
Brill thanks mate, the very varnish arrived in the post yesterday 👍
Hello Mark, it is phantastic! Thank You and I hope you will make another 75mm sculpt in future It can be your new series. I know why I´m your patreon 😁
I have a question? Isn´t it faster to make glazing ( different color tonality) as Sergio Calovo with airbrush? It is probably more effective and faster in such scale. Try it next time for us please 😉
Thanks so much Michal! I'll certainly consider using the airbrush for some final tints etc if I think the figure needs it.. 😀
Do scale colour paints make nmm easier? I tend to struggle with vallejo and citadel, these look like they go on a lot more opaque?
Hi! I personally love using the Scalecolor Artist paints for NMM work; they can be used very dense and opaque, but also thin down beautifully. I also like the matte (but not ultra matte) finish. 🙂

Absolutely georgous painting, congrats.
What is this really good looking gradient tufts, do you know the brand ?
Thank you Alex! Ah yes - they're by GamersGrass: gamersgrass.com/ :)
@@Sorastro thank you !
Its nice to see you're getting around to stuff for fun :) it turned out spectacularly. I was wondering, how do you compare the scale artist to the scale 75, or Vallejo paints?
Thank buddy! The Artists paints are a little less matte than the Scalecolor line, and really thick and creamy out of the tube. They're really nice! 😀
Ill have to give them a shot. I ventured into the tube white recently. The scale artist colours look really nice. @@Sorastro
Brandon Sanderson is coming out with kickstarter minis for his Cosmere books, would you consider doing a series for these?
Hi! Those minis do look nice, but I mainly paint minis that are from games I like to play.. 😀
😯
👍
thx tutorial of oil paint, forest diorama.
You're welcome! (These aren't actual oil paints though - they're acrylic) 😀
The music during the face painting stages reminds me sooo much of Drakensang, one of my all time favorite PC RPGs 🥰
And I realize I can either concentrate on the music OR on the tutorial 😅🙈
Thank you my dude! I'll be releasing that track on the next album actually.. 😀
@@Sorastro yaaaay 🥰
Okay. So THAT'S amazing! Entering it into Golden Demon?
Thank you mate! And no.. I just like to paint for fun really 😁
Golden Demon would only accept GW-miniatures wouldn't they?
Don't sell yourself short with that, "I certainly know I'm no expert when it comes to NMM." You are skilled , very skilled in NMM.
That's very kind, thank you Leon 😀
Is the clay you used just air-dry clay?
Yessir!
@@Sorastro Much obliged!
Can I ask what brushes do you use?
Hi! I use brushes by Rosemary and Co (I like both their Series 8 and Series 33 brushes) 🙂
Please paint Star Wars legion mandalorian super commandos next…
Hi! I don't currently have any more Legion videos booked in, but I might cover the Mandos with a PDF guide at some point 🙂
I'm no expert, he says, and he proceeds to paint a NMM armor shoulder to toes..
Ha ha, well, I painted it but there's definitely room for improvement.. 😁
: )
you really downplayed the shield interior!
Ha ha, perhaps.. 😁
Fantastic
Thank you so much! 😊
