This was another live session where I tested a few experiments mixing the Contrast Medium with "regular" paints to create my own skin tone Contrast paints. I also do some snow effects and blood as well (seeing if I could make some with the Contrast Paints) Here's a link to the live session...

The latest Live session was even more fun as I painted the Sky Earth NMM effects on my Lannister Crossbows! Here's a link to the video: https://youtu.be/r4e9b03jgdk

Last night in my YouTube Live session I tried out the Contrast paints for the first time. The goal was to see if I could work with them as I normally would with the Green Stuff World Intensity inks or the Reaper liner and clear paints. I chose a unit of Free Folk Raiders, because the previous...

I have been having a LOT of fun creating painting tutorials using the ProAcyrl paints on the Creature Caster figures! Several series are under way, but here are some images and links to the first... the Lady of Anguish: Episode 1: https://youtu.be/jyaCXWRPPdw Episode 2...

Here are some pics of the Mountain... which means I am almost done with the "trio". I have this one painted, and the Mountain that Rides (here's a tutorial on that: https://youtu.be/XCMsM5oB3Mc). I will be creating a tutorial for this, as well as the alternate Gregor sculpt!

This latest tutorial video for the patreon page had a few fun elements included. I did some NMM, and I also did a quick lesson on making freehand designs that match the base. Here's a post that goes into that more deeply: https://wappellious.blogspot.com/2019/06/dark-runes.html

Here's a few images of the Cave Dweller Savage color test figures. While I am making tutorial videos for painting those, I already have the basing tutorial on the YouTube channel! https://youtu.be/nnAX658rMd8

I had a lot of fun making this tutorial video! In addition to a discussion on painting "black" and getting some nice variations along the way, this one has a lot of snow, ice and blood effects in combination. I LOVE the way the blood seeps into the "snow", as it should :-) Here's a link to...

The latest episode of Painting Dark Sword is up on the Patreon Page, and I managed to toss in a few surprises this time. The overall theme is how to paint black/darker colors, with a bit of OSL tossed in ;-) Here's a peek at the process: https://wappellious.blogspot.com/2019/05/dark-powers.html

I have some more of the characters painted up from the second Stark Heroes box... these have been a lot of fun!

I have been having a LOT of fun painting the King's Guard! Here's a color test figure, so that I could do some painting tutorials based on it. I also have a video that shows how I prime my Song of Ice and Fire units, which you can check out here:https://youtu.be/5pfwjapw98A

If you want to get a peek at how setting up a new tutorial filming station can be an 'interesting' experience, here's a post that discusses the kind of craziness that is part of the process. I did my first basing tutorial with the new setup, and as expected, a lot of tweaks and adjustments are...

We have used Badger Stynlrez primers for at least 8-9 years, and always loved them. I used to just put them on with a regular brush, but once I had replaced all my old airbrush gear, I started doing this "primer painting" method. That's when there were just 6 primer colors. Now there are 12...

Once I tested out the Vallejo Metal Medium, I knew that I had something quite interesting! You can mix this medium with any color to turn it into a metallic paint... and better yet, the more you mix in, the lighter that metal gets! This means no more losing the metal effect by washing over...

At last, the Rainbow Warriors are complete! It was the most challenging of all the Army Painting series, with a huge amount of effects and techniques to balance. Here's a blog post profiling all that: https://wappellious.blogspot.com/2019/05/warrior-sons.html

I was able to get some images of the finished Flayed Men unit! Here they are in the blog post: https://wappellious.blogspot.com/2019/05/blood-knights.html I also did a few live sessions painting them in oils and then in acrylics after that dried: https://youtu.be/3dpSONjJGQw

The latest episode of my Basing Techniques series is on the Patreon page, and it was a lot of fun! I combined several different materials, including my Sculpey clay texture sheets, along with heavy gloss gel to make my Pyromancer bases and tray look pretty nifty! Here's a link to the blog post...
