impressionnant! Thanks Romain
Thank you for the video on glow effects. As I am totally unfamiliar with using an airbrush, I expect that when I start out that I will be practicing on terrain pieces.
As always. Wondrous techniques and fabulous work.
Thanks for the amazing compliments, people !
I’d hardly call that “super detailing”, but it serves its purpose and it’s quite easy to do !
great start. the end figure in the pictures looks brilliant.
Sadly, this is where it ends : the figure in the picture is the box art. I can’t understand why this has been used. 🙁
so is that the end end or a to be continued end? romain.
Well, we’re done for that figure, if that’s what you mean. Sorry if it doesn’t come up to your standards… That said, I don’t think the official colour scheme is more interesting : it’s just metal, really.
no just hoping to see how you would paint the figure that’s all.
as for standards yours is way above mine, romain.
Thanks, but don’t disparage yourself !
I’ll just have to do a brushwork tutorial on a Cyriss (or close) miniature, that’s all…
Still, if you do want that result, it’s even easier : it’s true metallic paints brushwork. The Convergence of Cyriss official colour scheme tutorial is in No Quarter, the Privateer Press magazine; issue 48, I believe. I don’t really like their glow effect, but hey, to each his own.
Nice 🙂 Love your videos!
Hey Romain… nice tattoo work.
Who are the artists if you don’t mind me asking?
I’m a dotwork/blackwork tattooer near Los Angeles California.
I did the first dotwork tattoo I know of in 1993 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for your viewership ! And congratulations, your tattoo and pictorial work is excellent !
My left arm in dotwork was done by Steff Dess, and my right arm by Fabien “Bellybutton” Batista. These days, I also have more ink by Karl Mark, not visible here.
Thank you Romain. Beautiful work, all amazing artists.
Nice finished product, good to see the combined use of airbrushing and inks, am just looking into starting with airbrushing myself. I like non metallic metals alot I think the brass work came out particularly well on this mini and looks super sweet on the base.
My advice to you as someone who has used airbrushes for over 15 years is this; start off with an airbrush that has a trigger limiter so that it limits the distance that you can pull the trigger back so that the flow of air is equal to the paint. When the paint hits the piece you’re working on, it should always be dry within a second or so. If it’s wet then you’ve thinned the paint down way too much, you’ve pulled the trigger further back than needed or your PSI is way too low. Having the trigger limiter… Read more »
Really awesome stuff man, but I have to say – I saw your colour wheel stuff on youtube, and between that and this you’ve put on quite a bit of weight. A healthy painter is a long-lived painter! 🙂
