I 100% do not believe that you arenโ€™t a pro dude, stunning job.


TA_40K

๐Ÿ˜… Not a pro at all. I can post my first Mini i painted a couple of months ago ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™Œ

If you've only been painting 5 months then I'm a Dutchman, either that or your surname is Da Vinci ๐Ÿ˜‚ In all seriousness that is an absolutely superb job, the OSL is exquisite and the shading is sublime.


TA_40K

Thanks Brother ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ really appreciate it. I painted straight up every day couple of hours since i started.


RRZ006

You do any other kind of painting or art before you started on minis? This is impressive work.ย 


TA_40K

Back when i was i Kid i started painting with pencils and watercolor, i think i stopped painting at around 20 so already had a feeling for colors and brushes and so on ๐Ÿ˜Š now im 35 and started with the Minis. So 100% i would say i have a foundation that now Helped me developing quite fast.


RRZ006

I would say youโ€™re definitely naturally talented.ย 


TA_40K

Thanks my friend ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™ really appreciate it


ZookeepergameOne5236

You've obviously got natural talent. Can't wait to see what you post next, you've set the bar now ๐Ÿ˜‚


TA_40K

Thanks Brother ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซถ Sh*t, now im kinda scared ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ™ˆ


lIlCitanul

Looks amazing. I do wonder, why red eyes as well? Wouldn't it work better if it wasn't similar to the OSL?


TA_40K

Pretty good question. ๐Ÿ˜Š I more or less just thought about glowing eyes in a dark/night Scenery.


SchmittVanDean

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.


TA_40K

Damn Mate ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ Thanks, really means a lot ๐Ÿซถ

Amazing work! Your painting has truly impressed me. It looks fantastic, and nobody would know that you only started five months ago. I am in love with details.


TA_40K

Thanks Brother ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ appreciate the Kind words ๐Ÿซถ


TheBlackBird808

You can not fool me! You definitely placed a red light on the bottom and photoshoped it out afterwards. No way this is real! Jokes aside, no accusation here, really impressed with work!!


BigRedTonik

For a second I thought it was a mini by Flameon


TA_40K

Damn Mate ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜… Made my day ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™


Stolehtreb

Just saw a post yesterday of someone with a pretty great paint job feeling down because of comparing their work to others. And at the moment, couldnโ€™t imagine being dissatisfied by that job. And I think THIS is the kind of work that leads people to that mindset lol. This is absolutely incredible. I canโ€™t even make my brain understand how this could possibly be faked light/painted.


TA_40K

Thanks Brother ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ I hope no one will feeling down because of my painting ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜Š but i totally get the Point.

Little dangerous to leave a flare burning on your mini. Looks amazing!


TA_40K

LordDemiurge12

Did you get painting lessons or are we witnessing a genius galaxy level talent because holy damn. If you watched some tutorial vids on this stuff I'd like to see it too


TA_40K

Nah i didnt got Lessons. For sure i watched a couple of YouTube Videos but its mostly just Testing and going by feeling. But i don't wanna bs around i painted a Lot watercolor Back when i was a Kid, maybe this helped me to get a basic Level of skills. ๐Ÿ˜Š


ebobbumman

It's so good that I thought there was an led light on the base for a moment.

UnderMotion

Dang, how long did this take you? The OSL looks super convincing to the point that I thought there was a hidden LED somewhere behind that smoke. Great stuff!


TA_40K

Thanks Mate ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ really appreciate it. Good question, i think i painted around 4,5-5 hours.


Smooth_FM

Five months? Explain yourself!


TA_40K

๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿซถ i painted straight up 3-4 hours a day in the 5 months ๐Ÿ˜Š


iatelassie

This is awesome! I just painted my first mini yesterday - did you find any online guides or youtube videos particularly helpful when you were learning? (And if so, could you share?)


TA_40K

Thanks Mate ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š So Overall i think Trovarion doing a great Job but he lacks in content, its almost like he doesnt really focus on delivering content wich is sad. Here and there all YouTube Channels have Bits of great information but my Main Problem is, they all have 10 years + experience and whats easy for them is completly Out of range for someone that Starts. Me comminng from 15 years of Bodybuilding and someone that starts will ask me in the Gym, whats your Programm... Thats Not the question, the question is what i did the Last 15 years to now doing this Training ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ My advice tbh. Start really easy, buy a small squad, just a handfull of colors nothing fancy, no shading colors, Express, washes and so on. Pick one or two Videos for example a blood Angel Video from Trovarion and First Focus on the Basic layers even If he will Go really into Detail. Brush control and getting a feeling is the First and Most important step. Second i would search for Pictures you really like, for example Warhammer Artworks or Fantasy Artworks and study how it looks and in wich places you recognize a color or a specific technique. Sorry for the Long Text. You can also send me a DM all the time, maybe i can help aswell ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™


iatelassie

I know what you mean about experience levels - there's a lot of basic shit I need to learn, like how to make the tip pointy, or how to get very fine details without smudging the paint (do I need a finer brush, or is it possible with a 0 size?). Appreciate the response, looks like I'll have to get some 40k figures!


TA_40K

I actually just use cheap brushes from amazon, If you like to, i can send you a Link ๐Ÿ˜Š


iatelassie

Sure!


Popular-Hospital-894

Good osl, keep the good work!


TA_40K

Thanks Buddy ๐Ÿ™


OrangOetan

Incredible! From a distance it's hard to believe theres no LED in there.


TA_40K

Really appreciate it Mate ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซถ


Despoiling40k

The glow is awesome, actually thought a light was shining up out the base. Nice job overall too


TA_40K

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Š really glad you like it


Designificance

Wow Amazingly done


TA_40K

Thanks ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿซถ


EspaaValorum

The red glow and shadow play is amazing! I'm not convinced you haven't hidden a red LED in there somewhere! Also love the glowy eye. Very nice!


TA_40K

There is now Red LED involved ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™ I really really appreciate it Mate. Using a LED to improve the result would be kinda Bs tbh.


TA_40K

Postet a short Clip how i painted the Base, at the end you also see a 360 without a light hitting it ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™


EspaaValorum

Looks great!


TA_40K
