Hellblaster Sergeant
Hey Guys and Girls,here is the video on how to create a advanced tabletop standard Primaris Hellblaster Sergeant.A lot of people have problems painting a decent red Armour and I wanted to follow a different approach the back in the days with the Korghos Khul Video at Paintingbuddha, where I have used a black and white underpainting and continued with red glazesThe Goal was to paint a great looking character for our Army.I went for a rather clean and polished style on this guy.If you want to add weathering you should be able to find enough tips ...

I dont want to brag about the challenges of the real world in here.. I know we all got something to carry around but as this here is a One-man-operation it interfered with my output and i am s...

Hey Folks,here is the second Part of our Celestial Model "Twilight".I really wanted to go for a super smooth finish on her Face, because its really amazingly detailed and it was sometimes quite a challenge because of the distance I have to the model due to the camera position.I wanted to pull some attention to the face of the model by introducing a tiny touch of red and a little brighter and smaller highlights.I hope enjoy following the process! Maybe something for a rainy summer eve
