We moved into the new flat with basically a bed, a couch and a coffee machine. The first two weeks of O...
The video is up! Hope you enjoy it!

First Part of the in depth tutorials for this latest finished project. The intention was to do a traditional Power-Weapon, with a bit of a different approach. Also that it is not important to have everything planned out before you start painting (big cause of painting anxiety) and that you ...

Hello Patrons!
I was working frantically on the Lord of Blights PDF during the last 3 days, but as you know they usually take me 7-8 days to finish, because I want them to be great instructional material. Moving has caught up with me and between having to cancel old internet, painting walls...

In my opinion hair is all about credible placement of light and convincing brushstrokes. As with the latest videos, trying to keep the videos at digestable lenghts, I am demonstrating both in this next part of the Amalia Novena, Sister Superior series - hope you enjoy it!

Something I wanted to try for a while was an alternate approach to painting faces. This is a way to paint faces, that gives quick, easy contrast, interesting color shades and smooth results in relatively short ammount of time. It's best suited for small faces like this one too. Hope you like it!&...

Next Part of the series! Focusing on WHY contrast is important and how I try to create good contrast in my painting. Why white is not necessary and also touching a bit on how other countrasts influence painting.

I adapted my Copper NMM recipie a bit and made it easier to follow. Still great results I think! There will be one more video, covering the copper on the shield, to show that these simple recipies can be adjusted for great effect!

Painting the horns of the helmet, showing how to create contrast arround the helmet, by placing a brighter area close to it and how to keep the saturation high in elements like these. Also making sure that the color harmonies stay coherent by using global highlight colors.
Here is the first Part of the in-depth videos covering the Lord of Blights.
Reinforcing some basic concepts in this video and focusing on how to work with shapes and saturation.

Well, we did it! Thanks a lot to everyone who voted! Looking forward to go to Nottingham on the 2nd of November! If any of you happen to be at the open day that day, come and say hi :)
2019-09-06 17:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone!
I spent the last few days and actually a lot of the month working on Youtube content. I think all of you are aware that the patreon would probably not be where it is without the Youtube channel - in fact I would wager that 90% of you only are here because of it :) thank you!<...
Like I said, I will upload PDFs more regularly, so here is the first part of the Sister Superior PDF. These parts will be a bit more raw as far as polishing them goes, but they have the same ammount of information and pictures as usual.
I will of course put all the parts together into a p...

Here is a quick Juli Update: I am currently working on the Lord of Blights for the Everchosen competition on the 27th. There will be a few videos about this as well as a PDF.
I will continue to upload the planned content for this month (e.g. the Sister Superior PDF) after the 27th! I had ...
A quick and effective way for doing reds! The goal was to have good contrast, combined with the material still reading as red and the highlights being rather subtle.
As always, if anything is unclear, let me know!

2019-07-17 13:38:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe idea came up on the discord, or rather the notion, that the video passages where I don't explain things should have some music to break the silence.

This is part 1 of the armor of the Sister Superior. I was focusing on showing what colors I think work best on this type of black armor, that is trying to replicate the artwork by Karl Kopinski.
It deals with color choice for this effect and where to place highlights. Part two will deal...
Next Part! I decided to go for a black, shiney armor, that has a NMM/steel feeling to it that would integrate well with the bone color and also to do a helmet that looks partly like a face/skull.
Topics include:
Next video about the Greater Possessed - Painting bone structure and thoughts on contrast on more even structures and how to make them interesting regardless.
There will be one more video about the rest of the progress uploaded later today, where I am covering the rest of the chest armor an...

Painting the complete base in this video - it is about 2 hours long, but in the Youtube Description you can find timestamps for the chapters. I know some of you said shorter videos are better, but it just makes no sense to me to cut these thematically coherent things into pieces. I think the chap...

The Idea was to create raw skin, remeniscent of raw meat, with tendons showing and transitioning into a claw that looks chitinous and alien. Working with a subtle complementary contrast for the spikes.
