That looks epic! He's pretty jacked for Wesley though. As you say more comic book style. Still, really has some presence. The shades are a must! Fantastic work!
Looks amazing.im scouring UA-cam to paint dark skin tones.i just got the rocky diarama at 1/6 scale and I really want to do apollo justice.thanks for the video.
Okay you bring up something I always wondered. When we shade things, and then actual light creates actual shading it looks not real. I see why you have to shade 2D images, but I believe it should be employed minimally to create a BIT of contrast to bring out detail on large scale models. Miniatures are a bit different. We have to shade AND highlight tons to bring out details people otherwise will not see.
ok. in the video it shows you using the flat earth brown as the base coat, then the german black brown for the accents on arms etc. then it jumps to the eyes and details. i am assuming the chocolate was used in there somewhere because when it transitions to the details and eyes, the colors look more dynamic. thank you @@TheCreativeCollector
This is an odd vid for me, I loved the initial skin colours, they really looked good for darker dark skin and I'll be using them to death, no question. I hadn't paid attention to the vid premise tho and just as I was excited to see the working up of the light over that great base I realised the skin was already done so that wasn't going to happen. Again the colour choices are spot on but it feels like a base laid down quickly with the airbrush that you could really then build on with lights from particular directions.. The same is true of the clothing and particularly the silver details. The result has the look of a vinyl action figure rather than a painted statue/figure/work, which is certainly a way to go on huge scale minis, but wouldn't help a 28/32mm mini at all, the volumes would need a lot more help
Thanks but what you're referring to is not my paint style. Like I explained the figure is more "comic" based and I mainly used it as a platform for explaining the quick method I used for the skin tones. I don't paint using a certain light source like minis would have, but I respect that method. I tend to circle the hyper realistic style where natural light sources everything.
@@TheCreativeCollector Absolutely, I didn't focus on the keywords you'd used and that was my error. That said, as a base for dark flesh colours it makes a very good natural looking base indeed, at whatever point you stop, and as a cartoon style at large scale it makes absolute sense as is
@@TheCreativeCollector cool, I love your leather work :) its not your first model I've noticed that. so, it's flat black, matt clear coat, and then black-gray highlights?
Personally I think you could have went a little darker for Snipes. The complexion you used on this blade should have been the complexion you used on the Storm Statue you painted. She was too fare skin.
It's a mix of colors. I explained that in the video that it's based off what shade you want it to be. So it can several different colors. I use a brown base for mine and go from there.

I just love that at 8:48 Wesley Snipes' face looks more like Eddie Murphy. And now my brain is stuck on Murphy Blade, so you have to suffer with me.
is beautiful ✌🏻😍
Thank you! 😊
Hello my idol,i'm a newbie.Can you make a video clip on how to connect the parts smoothly? Thanks
I will try
@@TheCreativeCollector thanks 😍
Where can I get the files for this one?
I believe it's on cgtrader.com
You mention sealing at 1:49....I've just started airbrushing, what do you seal with?
I use Krylon Color Maxx flat
@@TheCreativeCollector thanks so much
What needle size do you use for the dark shading?
.03mm
When did you use the chocolate brown?
Once I get the base on. I use it mainly for highlights
ok. in the video it shows you using the flat earth brown as the base coat, then the german black brown for the accents on arms etc. then it jumps to the eyes and details. i am assuming the chocolate was used in there somewhere because when it transitions to the details and eyes, the colors look more dynamic. thank you
@@TheCreativeCollector
May I ask what colors did you mix for your pink undertone?
I just mixed a rose color and deep red with a little brown.
@@TheCreativeCollector Thank you

Amazing job, what colors do you use for the leather?
Thanks. I just used a flat black and grey-black mix. The trick is the clear coat 👌
@@TheCreativeCollector cool, I love your leather work :) its not your first model I've noticed that. so, it's flat black, matt clear coat, and then black-gray highlights?
Correct!
Great advice! I've been scared to do POC characters cause I don't want to botch the skin!
Love the model....kinda looks like Eddie Murphy to me
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Awesome :O
what scale % did you change the file to make it 1/4 scale?
I went 150%.
@@TheCreativeCollector sweet thank you, i have been wanting to make this myself for a while and you awesome video inspired me
The Vampire in Brooklyn Custom.😂
Not too far off!

Looks more like him with the shades
That thing is sick 😫 🤒 ❤❤
So what color is the actual skin?? You skipped all that. Thanks

I can’t stop seeing Eddie Murphy now
Right?

Bruh i would just stick wit Eddie
Yeah bruh....but unfortunately it ain't Eddie.
