Hello guys!
This episode works really well when seen immediately after the Krondys (big GW dragon!) video; same general concept but extremely different challenges on the small volumes of infantry models, especially in this almost 28mm scale!
The idea is to set a mid value to light value ske...

This... this is the most comfortable part of my comfort zone :) !
I've started tinkering with this approach years ago following a popular trend of Japanese figure/resin kits painters, just for the sake of the cool anime aesthetic, than I realised that oil painters do the exact same thing when ...
NEEEW VIDEO!!!
And it’s one of those that makes you a better painter simply thinking about the topic 😁
We talk about the animation cel/2D/comic book/Borderlands colouring technique, one of the best exercises to train light and shadow blocking, value managing and contrast and one of ...

Hello guys!
This project has been a total blast :D
My last monster was more a mount/rider combo than a single creature so I had to juggle the focal points in a way that left the Mouth of Mork as central figure, with just a natural extension of the details on the neck and the head of the vul...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! See you in chat at the première 😘!

wait, wait, wait, only two years?!?!? 😱
In my "behind the scenes" point of view sometimes the first video seems from a lifetime ago and more often it feels like yesterday...

I really needed a project like this one!
You sit on the chair, do the thing, and you stand up with a finished model: simple and clean (actually, I make a ton of mess on the table during these speed painting sessions but you got the point XD)!
The best part and my main use for this kind of w...

A super fun project that I had the need to paint to properly set in my hands and brain my newfound understanding of cinematic lights and storytelling in miniatures.
Of course, this an extreme super exaggerated situation created to be purposely over top and to challenge my ability to rende...
NEW VIDEO OUT!!!
See you at the premiere!!!
After the illustrational, "two dimensional" approach of the last video, in this model I maximise the 360° flow using waves of extreme lights coming from different angles to create a model that you can’t stop moving around! 2021-12-02 17:00:07 +0000 UTC

Hello guys!
In this week's video I briefly talked about the reference material I used to create my astronaut bust but despite my first impulse while editing, I didn’t include any pictures because, well, they are simply too many and not very specific…
A lot of painters have the i...
I love to paint busts!
With a bit of practice delivering a good story in a standard model with arms and legs becomes pretty easy because the extra information that comes even from the simplest form of body language already covers a good chunk of the visual story, but a bust is ALWAYS &nbs...
See you at the premiere 😘
This week we talk in detail (this is my longest video!) about mood, light, sketching, OSL, textures and "dirty tricks" 😉 using storytelling as a compass to choose the most effective tools and techniques and obtain thrilling illustrational results 😁

Hello guys!
This is the first of a series of little articles that I plan to publish here on Patreon every time I find specific ideas and interesting topics that don’t necessarily fit the theme of the week.

First part of the real time work on Evil Big Bird!
I decided to go with a speed painting approach on the first monster of the channel to keep the transition from our usual models smooth and the consequent "cultural shock"... less shocking lol.
