Ooof, Hundred Years War. A nice, cheerful chapter in the history of France.
Thanks for the tips on blonde. I’ve always struggled with this, I think I was using too much yellow (“thinking” rather than “seeing” when I paint). I’ve recently had some 28mm hair, beards, and mustaches on some Warlord LRDG figures and wanted to do some of them in blonde … experimented with some similar techniques.
Thanks for putting up something on a smaller scale! We 15mm gamers need love too! 😀
Giving love to 15mm, make us in 10mm the new 15mm – OK I lost me as well
I would have given more attention to smaller scales a while ago, but two things stopped me: the fact that it’s mostly samey and not that detailed (past a single tutorial about a historical mini, what else is there ? Thank goodness there’s more variety nowadays) and the fact that, for the longest time (I think six or seven of the 8 or 9 years I’ve worked there), the cameras at BoW studios simply weren’t capable of zooming on that properly. Which is also why I’m redoing some of the old tutorials now (that and I’ve become better at painting,… Read more »
Model looks good but personally I think undercoating 15mm and below in white is the wrong way to go and makes the painting much harder than it should be
Really ? I found it quite easy, on the contrary. The level of detail is perfect, and the smaller scale needs something lighter for it to really pop.
My own reference is to spray grey and then give it a light wash of Vallejo black shade. I find it helps bring out the detail and adds a bit more depth in the creases and crevices on the figure. As always this is how I like to do it and of course there is no right or wrong way
Useful for army fatigues, but I dount a green and black shading would have done the trick for this particular character…
Great stuff – and who better to paint the maiden of France, than you good self
Oh. Is it too late to point out the Jeanne’s banner was white
I know it was… although only when she had the king’s favor. I actually pointed that out in the video. And this wasn’t her armour, and this wasn’t her hairdo. And she didn’t wage war with dragons, angels and demons either, would you believe it ? Anyway, it’s the banner that was painted for the game box art, so that’s what I did.
Excellent tutorial as always, I have actually been working on my Joan of Arc Project in my private area. I acquired some of the minis of Az at the UKGE, when I have a bit more up on the project I will publish it 🙂
I have gone for the White banner for JoA but Painting flure de lis in 15mm is a bitch.. lol
Next week I’ll have the Fleur de lis edited and ready if you wish to wait 😉
brilliant work @elromanozo love the shading on such a small figure.
Great to see something not 28mm painted in a tutorial (yes I know battleships from drop fleet have been covered but I don’t count them!) Iwould love to see @elromanozo tackle something like Baccus’ paint challenge and what you could do with 6mm…. or if you want my 3mm napoleonics have been sitting naked for over a year, i’ll pay the postage!
well at Salute a few years back I challenged @elromanozo to paint a 6mm figure and he did a cracking job on it 🙂
She’s a witch! Great tutorial as always.
She hears three distinct voices telling her to go and kill people, and let’s not talk about the purity obsession, her happily mingling with Gilles de Rais, or the weird-ass king she defended… Even if she’s not a witch, I believe that qualifies her as cuckoo crazy in our world.
but the question is did she weigh the same as a duck? 🙂
She was never convicted of being a witch but of lapsed heresey for wearing male clothing again ( which was a sin) after signing that she would no longer do so and therefore could be executed.
The flag looks absolutely brilliant 🙂
@elromanozo one doubt… why did you not choose a metallic color for the armor of Joan? not criticizing, just trying to learn 🙂
Oh, I just liked it ! NMM allows you to control exactly where the light hits, and it gives a classic oil painting look to a figure that is very much appropriate for that. I was also inspired by the work of Seb Lavigne on this range. Nothing wrong with painting non-metallic metal, nothing wrong with metallics either ! 🙂
ah ok 🙂 🙂
and btw, ty for the videos 🙂 it feels like a masterclass in painting! I *love* them!
