gowestover Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ollie, What are the browns you are using on the club? Tut is looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 The base coat was an ultra thinned down GW Dark Flesh. I added more layers of Dark Flesh and then introduced some Scorched Brown along with lots of other colors like Exile blue and Coal Black in the shadow areas (cracks and underside of the club). I also used a Magenta Red type color (kinda like the GW scab red), yellow, green and purple all in different intensities. The highlights were just adding some Moldy Ocher in some areas and then Menoth white highlight for the brightest areas. It was definitely one of the more fun areas of the model to do and really only took about half an hour to complete. When done I added a bunch of blood splatter to the club by mixing a little bit of black paint into Tamiya's clear red and then just putting it on in a random goopy fashion. When that is dry I come back and blop on some Tamiya Clear Red straight out of the bottle. It gives a fantastic blood effect and with minimal effort. If you want to enhance the blood splatter effect, apply it with the foam from a blister pack. Dab it in your paint...wipe off the excess into a towel and then dapple it onto the model...it gives a nice random effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Here are a couple of finished pictures of him so you can see the end result. Please note, the blood that has splattered/dripped on the flowers...its my favorite part! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnol Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Dude, after reading through the tutorial I couldnt help myself but to try it out. Plus I needed to get away form all my serious painting that I have been doing and paint something fun. If you wouldnt mind I would like to show you what I have come up with so far using your technique. It was much more simple than it looks and probably twice as fast as the way I have been doing it.

antnol Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Okay so i didnt use your technique exactly how you do but I did shade using your technique. I then highlighted by layering once I got the shade down. Its not as smooth as yours but its not bad for just 6 hours worth of painting, I dont think. Much much faster than the way i do it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Architect of Old Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well, however you did it, antnol, you did a freaking great job! Thats one amazing paint job IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Very nice Anthony! I'll look at it again when I get home for a better critique but it does look good and you can't beat that time!!! Next we will go over "light theory" and the use of more complex colors in your shading! I showed this same technique to Meg the last time I was in Denton and her painting went from fantastic to uberlicious!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skya Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The end result has a very interesting watercolor looking feel to it. Very different then some of the other styles of painting I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Rogers Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Great tutorial! I cant wait till Jeremie comes to town with his class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniken Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Ollie, one of the best tutorials on blending I've read. It's exactly the technique that Laurent Exposito Mas uses in the Miniature Mentor DVD. Any tips on how to prevent the chalky look on final highlights? Lately I've been using MSP linen white but the more I ad to my base for highlights I find I'm fighting the chalky look. I thin the paint a lot but still have trouble. I hear the PS3 white is great for this without a chalky look. Any comments? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewbaich Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 lookin good! I'll have to try this one on my next project! how would you do this with red without it turning pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 @ minikin: Try different paint. Not saying MSP's are bad but maybe that particular color doesn't work well with this technique. I am not sold on any one brand. You'll find me using all differnt brands...now this can get expensive and I'm not saying go out and by 5 different systems, but thats what paint night is for!!! You can try other peoples paint! That being said, the P3 white is FANTASTIC! Honestly, the hightlights will always be the hardest...at least for me. A lot of time, its poor technique that is giving you the "chalky" results. Keep at it! I have found that a lot of my problems in painting have simply gone away over time. It doesn't hurt to try a different paint though to see if that helps for the time being! @ mathewbaich: Thats the million dollar question now isn't it! Right now I am either doing a mustardy yellow or a light tan color as my basecoat and then blending to red. When done I come back with RMS Clear Red and do as many thin coats over the yellow or tan as I need to make me happy. This gives you red without pink! The other thing I have seen done is make your brightest highlight like a Blood Red and just go really deep with your shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artists Wren Posted May 5, 2008 Artists Share Posted May 5, 2008 This is a great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to do this! I was fortunate enough to take a few classes with Jeremie last Gen Con, but seeing the technique broken down like this is a helpful reminder and clarifies a few parts I was foggy on. I wish I had time to sit down and experiment with this a little more before ReaperCon, but I'm way behind on my entry. I did play around a bit with this for a colour test for it. I think I'm still a bit stymied by the wet palette. I do understand why people like them so much, but I seem to have a hard time controlling my paint consistency as well as on a dry palette or I'm used to using way more paint or something. If you have a moment free at ReaperCon I'd love to sit down with you and watch you work with the palette a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
