I'm going to try again here, and just leave a link to my channel.

I have almost 100 videos at this point, and have covered a lot of stuff. Production is improving with each video. I'm a one man operation whom started filming about a year ago.

So, you will realize very quickly that the newer videos are much clearer, more in-camera, and concise. Patrons are 3 weeks ahead of the regular release schedule.

I release a new video every week.

Ghool you have been the best source for information for me! I have learned so much from your channel so thank you! I hope that I can even get to half the talent you have.

 

Heh, I'll settle for a tenth!  :)  That said, I do think he has definitely helped me get better.

Very cool, I have some Aztec warriors I need to paint up as soon as they arrive, so I'm about to watch your Native American skin one.

 

That's one I should re-shoot with some better models. I need to get some near-nude models for the flesh tutorials methinks.

Seems the best way to demonstrate.

 

Anyways, don't go into it with high expectations. :ph34r:

I brought this up in the Patreon comments, but I think doing something not-Warmahordes would be amazing. For example, do some promotion along with Hasslefree and teach skin colors and variation on a naked dude and dudette. I think that would be a little more interesting from the "theory" POV, but I don't know if it would help with the more "wargamming" crowd, so... pros and cons. 

 

Perhaps also show how nice and quick results can also be achieved for those armies with a lot of flesh... stuff like sketching or zenital priming + washing.

I'm waiting for my Massive Darkness pledge to arrive so I can demo zenithal priming and 'juicing' the model a la Thomas David.

It's a great method for getting quick and yet high quality results.

I did a written article 6 years ago Here.

I have a naked man and woman coming from Uncle Mike soon, which will feature in some flesh and hair videos.

 

As for wider variety of models featured? Already taken care of. :B):

Honestly, I looked at your Patreon because I was amazed at your early HandCannon Online posts and an old video series about 2BB. I am really happy about the content so far, keep it up.

It still gave me good ideas!

 

The Aztecs arrived yesterday as well. Unfortunately the company goofed the order a bit, so I have to work that out with them so that I get the right models. (And I've gotta finish this paper first anyway. Dang grad school...)

      Looks like the recorded classes from the RVE have started to be posted to Reaper Youtube channel for those who may have missed any of it. Looks like they are being posted alphabetically by title.
       
      So they don't get buried on the channel as more videos get posted to their channel over time, or for anyone who visits the forums, I'm starting an index here and will update as I see more videos posted.

      A very small grumpy Bones Basilisk (Reaper 77371)
      By Pingo
      This is the Reaper Bones 77371 Basilisk sculpted by Julie Guthrie. It's quite small - about the size of a large dog, with a wonderfully grouchy visage.
       
      I painted it up fairly quickly to illustrate a video about how yellow and black can be mixed to make greens. This was an example of the less vivid greens (For a really vivid yellow-and-black green, see my She-Hulk Show-Off thread). All the colors on the critter were mixed just from yellow (mostly Yellow Ochre, but also a little Hansa Yellow), black, and white.
       
      The video is here, if anyone cares to watch it.

      50212 "Incredible Woman" as She-Hulk, Fantastic Four Version
      By Pingo
      This is Reaper's magnificent 50212 "Incredible Woman," sculpted by Bob Ridolfi.
       
      She's a great figure that can be painted up like a lot of (tall - she's a big one) women superheroes. Wonder Woman is on my wish list, and maybe Captain Marvel one day.
       
      This version is Marvel's She-Hulk from her classic days as one of the Fantastic Four, replacing Ben Grimm for a time.
       
      As a materials and techniques note, I didn't use any green or blue pigments in her skin. It's all mixed from yellow and black. This was partly to prove a point and is kind of central in the art video I posted on YouTube last week: Yellow and Black Make Green.
       
      Enjoy!
