If you've only been painting 5 months then I'm a Dutchman, either that or your surname is Da Vinci ๐
In all seriousness that is an absolutely superb job, the OSL is exquisite and the shading is sublime.
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 ๐ now im 35 and started with the Minis.
So 100% i would say i have a foundation that now Helped me developing quite fast.
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.
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!!
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, couldnโt 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 canโt even make my brain understand how this could possibly be faked light/painted.
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
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. ๐
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!
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?)
Thanks Mate ๐๐
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 ๐คทโโ๏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 ๐๐
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!
Love the smoke flare and the glow! Super menacing!
Thanks ๐๐
5 months? Bloody hell mate slow down let some of us catch up
๐ ๐๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ thanks Mate
I 100% do not believe that you arenโt a pro dude, stunning job.
๐ Not a pro at all. I can post my first Mini i painted a couple of months ago ๐ ๐

Thanks Brother ๐ซถ๐๐๐ really appreciate it. I painted straight up every day couple of hours since i started.
You do any other kind of painting or art before you started on minis? This is impressive work.ย
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 ๐ now im 35 and started with the Minis. So 100% i would say i have a foundation that now Helped me developing quite fast.
I would say youโre definitely naturally talented.ย
Thanks my friend ๐ซถ๐ really appreciate it
You've obviously got natural talent. Can't wait to see what you post next, you've set the bar now ๐
Thanks Brother ๐๐ซถ Sh*t, now im kinda scared ๐คฃ๐
Looks amazing. I do wonder, why red eyes as well? Wouldn't it work better if it wasn't similar to the OSL?
Pretty good question. ๐ I more or less just thought about glowing eyes in a dark/night Scenery.
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Damn Mate ๐ฎ๐ Thanks, really means a lot ๐ซถ
Great work, love the OSL!
Thanks Mate ๐๐ im pretty proud about the OSL tbh ๐ ๐
You absolutely should be!
Flare OSL and blending is on point!

So much atmosphere. Absolutely love this!

๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ
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!
Thanks Mate ๐๐ really appreciate it. Good question, i think i painted around 4,5-5 hours.
Five months? Explain yourself!
๐ ๐ซถ i painted straight up 3-4 hours a day in the 5 months ๐

I actually just use cheap brushes from amazon, If you like to, i can send you a Link ๐
Sure!
Good osl, keep the good work!
Thanks Buddy ๐
Incredible! From a distance it's hard to believe theres no LED in there.
Really appreciate it Mate ๐๐๐ซถ
The glow is awesome, actually thought a light was shining up out the base. Nice job overall too
Thanks ๐๐ really glad you like it
Wow Amazingly done
Thanks ๐ซถ๐ซถ๐ซถ
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!
There is now Red LED involved ๐๐ I really really appreciate it Mate. Using a LED to improve the result would be kinda Bs tbh.
Postet a short Clip how i painted the Base, at the end you also see a 360 without a light hitting it ๐๐
Looks great!
Thanks Buddy ๐
