The purple cape is an interesting choice, as is using a wash exclusively for the coloration. In the 360 of the finished model it does look quite a bit more opaque than where part 4 leaves off.
For the completed figure, how long would you say it took to paint from priming to finish?
Quite a bit of time… And I went in to rectify the cape with real paint here and there (the shades mostly, as you’ll see in the tutorial), but most of the opacity was obtained with lots of layers of the purple and amethyst washes.
It had the perfect hue, you see… But the cape did take hours, on and off camera. Of course, you can paint something else on the miniature in between the coats, so it’s all right.
Retrospectively, I would have used one or two washes of hexed lichen (Vallejo), or other opaque purple paint, to basecoat the miniature before applying washes. It would have saved me some time…
So… Yeah. Start out with washes of paint for a quicker base, then go on to the washes.
This is one time where I actually will say that I would have done things differently from the video…
For the complete figure, it took me two full afternoons, and I probably could have saved half an hour.
Have you done a videos showing pre-shading as it is a technique I would be interested in experimenting with?
I believe I have detailed the process in previous videos on this website… Search for it in the 3 colours up section.
A number of speed painting tutorials, as well as a strictly pre-shading tutorial, use this method.
It’s really quite easy !
There’s a backstage video titled, How to Prime your Miniatures the Romain Way! that was posted November 17. He talks about the technique in detail there and also adds some other points about Pros and Cons in a few later videos (I think the lizardman scales video had some more tips discussing the texture you sometimes get when you prime this way). I don’t recall there being many specific details about the technique in any of the non-backstage videos though.
I believe the Grey Knight tutorial, my very first, does that… As well as a few others of the first tutrials I did…
But it’s just discussing the technique, not actually showing it.
