🖌️ I've made my own dream brushes and miniatures! Squidmar Paintbrushes & Busts Kickstarter campaign; Late pledges are up and You can check it out here: www.squidmar.com/latepledge
After decades away from painting miniatures I've recently become interested again and finding you videos has been absolutely fantastic. You have such enthusiasm for what you do and it shows in your work. Thank you for being Alan inspiration to get back to what I used to love
Hey Squidmar, just wanted to thank you for being a inspiration to some of us newer guys; I think I can say, I honestly joined painting minis especially my army of death guard because you and some other youtubers like Miniac are inspirations to just go out and do it! My minis aren’t as good as yours yet but maybe one day...?! Lol thanks again! Looking forward to your next video man!
I know this is a bit late to the party, but Picking painting back up again and wanting to delve deeper into more techniques this video helps tremendously. This is the first one I have seen that actually tells and shows you where to put the highlight paint.
Thanks for another great video! Sorry if you already know this, but here´s a photoshop tip: When coloring over the zenithal highlited photo in photoshop, try setting the brush mode to "Color". That preserves the value structure of the image below, but just changes the hue. I think it might give you much more realistic photoshop sketches of your models. Again, apologies if you are aware of this already!
In case people wanna know what the smooth beat is, it's Yomoti - Fansipan. Awesome vid Emil, a good useful guide for both beginners and people venturing into new areas of miniature painting.
Great Tutorial! I always love to see different approaches to painting bone. Leather is always one of those tricky things. Thanks for sharing! Also, those loot minis are killer!
I have to say.... SUPERB !!!! this time you had me spend money... and it's well spent. One more thing... your brushes... where can i order them ? TY From portugal
I really think you found a good "type" (not sure if that's the right word) of video. Based on techniques with specifics but applies to all kinds of models instead of a single model. Not to mention they are awesome too. Thank you for sharing, stay safe!
Emil, I needed this tutorial very badly. Getting ready to paint the Tyrant from the game Hate and if you look at him closely, he has one or two skulls. I have been staring at him for quite awhile now, so much so that we are both a bit uncomfortable. Anyway I wanted a way to make the skulls pop and this is going to help me a lot and it's such a simple thing. Thank you so much for all you do.
It's models like these that make me want a 3d printer but sadly that's never gonna happen. It's a shame they don't do them as minis rather than print schematics :(
I was useing the same paints today you used on the wraps of its weapon on my Death Guard, I to was painting wraps on the Blades and around the Bolters. My palette is limited due to me only having the citadel paint sets but I get some nice results.
This video popped up in my feed and I figured I might as well absorb another method for painting horns... I did a double-take when I heard Emil say "...under the name 'Loot'..." I've been subscribed to both sides of Loot Studios for over nine months now 😂 Blew my mind to randomly have this "up-and-coming" new independent 3D sculptor mentioned and sponsor a video and realize that the video is two years old, haha.
Why did you do the first white airbrush highlight on the model and then completely paint over that for the leather and belt parts? Do you not use the highlighted underpart to help with painting?
Say what you want I will still believe Emil relised this video for the sole reason that this morning I was thinking "there are never enough tutorial about leather”!!!
It's so satisfying to see how well the paint applies to the work. I wish I could achieve the same liquid texture. Are you adding thinner to your paint when bottling? If so, which thinner?
Getting the right paint consistency is a big part of mastering painting in general. Most paints you can simply thin with water. You want to apply just enough water so the paint flows off the brush; too much water and it will be runny, not enough water and it will be dry and flaky and will not cover well. You will have to practice this before you get an intuition for it.
I have a question and I'm sorry if I'm ignorant with it. I'm absoluteley new to painting, at the same time I want to dedicate as much time as I can to every individual part. of course my work is grotesque in comparison but still. Is it not better for me to say I buy Duranti the Arch Revenant, ight all nice an dandy. My fingers are a little shaky so I can't surgeon my way around an assambled model. So what I'm doing is I spray the entire model before I cut it from the... uhm... you take it out of the box, its in plastic so you gotta cut every piece out? I don't know how to describe the thing the pieces are in Im sorry. So I take it out of the box and I spray it before I cut the pieces out with wraithbone (Only spray I have atm) then before I assamble it I paint every piece individually and place highlights after I glue them together and its easier to see where the sun would be and everything. Am I doing something wrong? TwT in videos the minis are already assambled and I feel like that just makes painting harder. (P.S. Sorry for grammar mistakes, english isn't my native tongue)
Hi. Great tutorial as usual! Love the way you demonstrate the theory on photoshop, it really helps visualise everything. Can I ask what miniature this is in the video? I love it!!!
@@SquidmarMiniatures great. Thanks. I hadn't watched the entire video when I commented and then felt a fool when I did!!! All I need to do now is get a 3d printer!!!! :)
when you work with the skull, did you apply the lighter shade on top of darker shade, did you apply it wet and blend it on the go or do shade on several layer ?
Love the videos im new to Aos playing Gitz. Love Goblins. Trying to figure out paint scheme where i could have squads in groups of 20, but be able to combine to squads of 60 and have the three groups of 20 mesh well together. Advice?
Perhaps a dumb question, but when they say that you can print miniatures in 70mm scale, does that mean that the printer must have a model printing width of at least 70mm?
@@SquidmarMiniatures ok... So yes is was a dumb question... But I really appreciate the answer. Would you be able to recommended printing size needed for a machine to do the 75mm scale? I'm really keen... Most affordable but good ones seem around 65-70mm width.
Hello Emile and thank you from France for all what you do on your channel ! I wasn't too much awaken this morning when I saw your video, and I almost suscribed to Loot's stuff before realising that they sell only 3D printer files , and not printed miniatures... So could you give me an advice for a good but not too expensive 3D printer? You gave me desire to buy one, but if it's too expensive, the first object printed with it could be a slayer sword by my wife to kill me! lol
@@SquidmarMiniatures I looked at it and it looks good, speedy and precise but fragile...I also heard about the creality 3D ender 3 , What do you think about it, Is it worthy for minis?
Just subscribed to these great models, I'm having real trouble getting a detailed print on my photon S though, using chitubox but I just can't get the right settings?! Does anyone have any ideas I'm wasting so much resin. Thanks.
I wonder if these techniques work with other colors too. i also wonder what types of techniques work for tattoos, or painting with oil. there is probably some differences.. Hilsningar från lønneberget
This effect is nice, but too time consuming for "normal" units. If I have 10 skulls on a base I just do them with contrast paint and drybrush. But for leaders and bigger models I'd do it like you showed. I even experimented with different colour combinations to get more yellow or white or clean or dirty looking skulls.
I wish Kickstarter type of companies like Loot-Games for example would allow people to order 1/2 models we’d like, yes, charge me an additional fee like £20 per model, I never want to order 60 models, I always find one or two that I’d love and I’m meh about the rest due to personal tastes.
The music at around 12 minutes (that’s where I first actually noticed it) reminds me of The Rescuers, when an exhausted Evenrude gets trapped in a glass bottle by some bats. Completely unrelated to your video (which I enjoyed by the way) but there you go...
That tavern looks sweet. I was gonna say that it´s to bad that every other new sculpt these days seems to require a 3D printer, but then I realized it´s quite a good thing for my wallet...
Just yesterday i struggled to paint claws and horns and boney crests of a war hydra ^^; (besides, they ended up way worse than yours :-| ) Well, as usual, nice video!

Wow seeing your way of painting skulls is mindblowingly different than what I've done and seen. I have to try that method!!
In case people wanna know what the smooth beat is, it's Yomoti - Fansipan. Awesome vid Emil, a good useful guide for both beginners and people venturing into new areas of miniature painting.
I could watch you paint the entire thing while listning to your thought process. Perfekt att somna till.
I've subscribed to Loot for a few months. The miniatures are great!
Great Tutorial! I always love to see different approaches to painting bone. Leather is always one of those tricky things. Thanks for sharing! Also, those loot minis are killer!
This is such a great tutorial, Emil! Any chance we could get a video on doing intricate artwork on shoulderpads and banners?
Whoa... Those sculpts are so cool! They look amazing like each mini has its own personality and aura! I would kill to own that tavern set one day

I think you must be seeing things, there are no skulls on that model.
Thanks Emil the skull and bone tutorial is very helpful
Amagad! Emil! You hung the picture!!! Whoohoo!!!
It's models like these that make me want a 3d printer but sadly that's never gonna happen. It's a shame they don't do them as minis rather than print schematics :(
Beautiful minis! Went right over and subscribed and got my discount. Already downloading the files to print. TY for the discount link!
I just got Loot to print on my new Anycubic, very very happy with the quality. And good video
I was useing the same paints today you used on the wraps of its weapon on my Death Guard, I to was painting wraps on the Blades and around the Bolters.
My palette is limited due to me only having the citadel paint sets but I get some nice results.
Your videos are the best, bro. Thank you so much
Awesome job sir! Love your work!!
I'd love to see you finish that model!
This was a really good and to-the-point video!
Loved that intro line. "If you've ever painted a Games Workshop miniature...." Skulls for the skull throne!
those shadings really do make them colours POHP :)
Those minis looked great. Had to sub and was nice with the discount for sure.
Very impressive, thanks for sharing!
Great video was watching paint eyes video when I got the notification lol great work man
Muito bom! Alvaro Ribeiro é mestre! Que parceria sensacional... Nice work, guys.
This is just the tutorial I needed!!! Thanks again Emil!!!🙌🙌🙏🙏👍🔥
Thank you , Squid .
Great vid. They are always super inspirational :) I often struggle with details like this on small scale minis like LOTR ones....
Hey Emil, I just wanted to complement your use for Photoshop. It's very demonstrative! Brilliant idea.
Wish i had seen this before i painted my beastboss! guess i need another one!

Hello, how can replace Deathclaw brown please ? Adding some white or bugmans glow to skrag?
Another top quality vid 👍
Love the video emil
so far
Why did you do the first white airbrush highlight on the model and then completely paint over that for the leather and belt parts? Do you not use the highlighted underpart to help with painting?
great tutorial. very useful. thank you
Really enjoyed this vid man, would love to see more like this! Don’t no if uve change what you do while editing but it seam more polished. Love it! 🙌🙌
Damn i really need a wet palette like that. I barely get to put my paint on the palette I got before its dried out
Love your channel, keep up the great content!
To do the eyesockets I drench it in wash and let the wash fill up the crevices. Easy way
Say what you want I will still believe Emil relised this video for the sole reason that this morning I was thinking "there are never enough tutorial about leather”!!!
Is there an image anywhere of the completed mini?
I love this pack. I want it
Could you paint a grey knight
Gran contenido! Eres un maquina
do you have any news about your brush kickstarter
Amazing tutorial! Can you make a tutorial to paint wood? (for a skaven sryke army would be amazing!)
You are amazing!
Might I suggest "Squidmariners" for patrons/fans of Squidmar.
That would work. My brain said Squidmartians. :D
Squidmarines?
Squadmar 👊🏼
The army of cephalopods?
We are the SQUIDMARINES! Lol

Hi. Great tutorial as usual! Love the way you demonstrate the theory on photoshop, it really helps visualise everything. Can I ask what miniature this is in the video? I love it!!!
Bugbear from loot studios :)
@@SquidmarMiniatures great. Thanks. I hadn't watched the entire video when I commented and then felt a fool when I did!!! All I need to do now is get a 3d printer!!!! :)
I use Game colour Bonewhite, wash with Sepia shade, then Bonewhite mixed with Off White and highlighted with pure Off White. Thin layers
I prefer a flesh wash rather than sepia as it gives a more aged bone look in my opinion
Nice!
when you work with the skull, did you apply the lighter shade on top of darker shade, did you apply it wet and blend it on the go or do shade on several layer ?

What are the colors you used for the skin tone? I wish to make an Ogre army with a similar skin color. Thanks for your guides! Keep it up!
2 years later printing my first loot studio miniature from the welcome pack
Perhaps a dumb question, but when they say that you can print miniatures in 70mm scale, does that mean that the printer must have a model printing width of at least 70mm?
No the scale is 75mm. Usually its the distans between feet and eyes of the models :)

The music at around 12 minutes (that’s where I first actually noticed it) reminds me of The Rescuers, when an exhausted Evenrude gets trapped in a glass bottle by some bats.
Completely unrelated to your video (which I enjoyed by the way) but there you go...
Okay, I must ask... Why paint a single area in such detail then to paint everything else with risk of needing to fix the finished parts later?
It's about time you put something out lol
I know it's hard to wait a week 😉
I have a mini I made in hero forge. I believe you would really like it. How would I be able to have a copy sent to you?
He might have access to a 3d printer? If you have the STL file and hes up for it. You "could" do it that way
Contact him on social media or find his email on his website.
So how is your Brush Kickstarter going along?
It's just weeks away now :)
Squidmar Miniatures cool. Cant wait.
I wish there was an easy way to get all these 3d miniatures without a 3d printer
That tavern looks sweet. I was gonna say that it´s to bad that every other new sculpt these days seems to require a 3D printer, but then I realized it´s quite a good thing for my wallet...
Agreed, the characters in the scene look wonderful.
You can always purchase the prints from authorized merchants of the artists! Less up-front cost to start printing yourself, at least. :)
My take away: Everything can be anything. Just not anywhere.
Just yesterday i struggled to paint claws and horns and boney crests of a war hydra ^^; (besides, they ended up way worse than yours :-| )
Well, as usual, nice video!
I prefer Squidies
yum
