The Craft on unknown world and the game
0:13
moonbreaker for sponsoring this video
0:15
Moon breaker is now available for Early
0:17
Access on Steam so check out the link in
0:19
the description now we were given free
0:21
access to the game and they are
0:23
sponsoring this video so why are video
0:25
games sponsorship I hear you say well
0:27
I'm glad you asked moonbreaker is a
0:29
turn-based strategy tabletop tactics
0:31
game designed to be a true digital
0:33
Miniatures experience set in an
0:34
expansive sci-fi universe and it has a
0:37
miniature painting function some of you
0:39
may remember dawn of War which had a
0:40
decent Army painted function but it's
0:42
pretty dated now moonbreaker has a far
0:45
more intuitive Army painting interface
0:47
it allow you to do things like dry
0:48
brushing airbrushing stippling washes
0:52
you can also add decals and of course
0:54
there's the painting part of it which
0:55
you can just there's a really cool
0:57
interface that allows you to pick
0:58
sections but also you can just go mad we
1:00
found ourselves asking the question can
1:01
digital painting improve and speed up
1:04
your own real world painting now
1:06
currently I have a work in progress more
1:07
band for war cry and there's some Lumina
1:10
realm Lords now I've done some colors
1:11
that already exist but I want to try
1:13
something a bit different I really like
1:14
my living City color scheme but I don't
1:16
want to like stripper model and start
1:17
from Fresh So what I'm going to be doing
1:19
here is having a go using Moon Breakers
1:21
painted interface plan out the colors I
1:23
want to use but also because of all the
1:25
different functions you can use of it
1:27
I'll also do the pizza painting well
1:29
I'll do a lot of dry rushing and a lot
1:30
of washing as well because it allows you
1:31
to do that so I have a little experiment
1:33
with some of the colors I can use some
1:34
of the techniques I can use and then
1:36
just transfer that to a model so I
1:38
struggles in the game and give it a go
1:40
so the first thing I'm going to do is
1:41
Click collect and paint that's how we're
1:43
going to paint our models for my luminef
1:45
to try and find something as close to it
1:46
as I possibly can is we've got savaria
1:49
Safeguard on this there's a lot of
1:50
things to pick from some stuff that
1:51
looks very necrony some stuff that looks
1:53
very Sigma righty so savria Safeguard
1:56
perfect so I'm going to clip on her and
1:58
there we are undercarried white
2:00
beautiful this is like corex white at
2:02
its best and then what we're going to do
2:04
here is
2:05
give an undercoat or at least what I
2:07
would do after I've complicated waters
2:10
I'll do a wash all over with like a set
2:11
from sepia
2:13
um but with a particular test model I
2:15
did I used wraith bones so I'm gonna
2:17
find something close down I've got down
2:18
here enlightened which feels like race
2:20
bone I'm gonna go with the error feature
2:22
so I'm just going to click on the right
2:23
there you've got obviously stipple
2:25
decals dry brush wash paint
2:27
and you see here on the left we have
2:30
different size brushes I'm just gonna be
2:32
messy here and just go all over as you
2:34
can see it's huge
2:35
[Music]
2:42
so yep so I've got my wash up uh change
2:45
the opacity of it so it's not too thick
2:47
and then what I do is dry brush so I'm
2:49
just going to click on the dry brush
2:50
feature
2:53
foreign
2:54
this is a key thing that will be worth
2:57
explaining right now is if I paint that
2:59
it's gone everywhere look oh no so let's
3:02
undo that and again zoom in get a
3:05
smaller brush
3:06
people like yeah let's paint it oh and
3:09
then you start getting like wobbly hand
3:10
syndrome and it goes onto your legs I
3:12
want those cream you're like oh no this
3:14
is really annoying so what I'm going to
3:15
do is Click toggle Auto mask so what
3:17
this what this will do is a section so
3:20
if I wanted like this Lloyd cuff to be
3:22
red and but the trousers to be like
3:24
cream what I'll do is I'll concentrate
3:26
my cursor on the red and as I move
3:28
across you see it won't go on the
3:29
trousers and now you might want to do
3:32
different colors here on the um the
3:33
actual wine graph itself but you know
3:36
what I want to do is just move out use a
3:38
bigger brush
3:40
again as long as I make sure I
3:41
concentrate on the linecraft to start
3:43
off with it's not going to go anywhere
3:44
else
3:45
and so I'm just gonna pick out some more
3:47
red pipe in pick out some like bits of
3:49
gold armor and the weapons the blacks
3:51
are getting onto the point where it's my
3:52
actual test model and then start making
3:53
the changes so yeah I'm just gonna do a
3:56
bit of time lapse on that
3:57
[Music]
4:15
so we've got a bunch of colors in place
4:18
not done the face yet this might be a
4:19
little bit tone up here and there to do
4:20
so I've got the red I've got the gold it
4:21
kind of looks a little bit like the
4:22
Luminous I've got the moment now the
4:24
only math I do have probably has more
4:26
white robes on it so what I could do is
4:29
where I've got like the red bitter here
4:31
on the front with the tab on those bits
4:33
on the side I might turn this cloak into
4:34
red but the danger is you might go into
4:36
that once I'll have to be very selective
4:38
about that but first of all just want to
4:39
try to see what some greens look like
4:41
first say I'm going to look here and
4:42
we've got a bunch of green so I'm gonna
4:44
go artist
4:45
again focus on an area so the cloak
4:48
I'm on paint
4:51
[Music]
5:00
so got myself some green ropes don't
5:03
like the green do not like that green
5:06
um not those horrible green I just don't
5:07
like it with the vibe that I'm doing so
5:09
what I'm going to do here is I don't
5:11
need to pick that I'll just pick the
5:12
color I wanted if it's paint and then do
5:14
that cloak I don't want a bigger brush
5:16
that's better
5:18
bigger brush I'll be mindful not to try
5:21
and get it on the uh there I might leave
5:23
that hair a separate green actually I
5:24
quite like that
5:25
there we are swapping sometimes when you
5:27
play around
5:32
I'm definitely sensing I'm gonna enjoy
5:35
painting my luminae with a green tone
5:37
now
5:38
I quite like the gold armor and I'm
5:39
thinking do I keep the arm of gold and
5:41
give it a green wash so I'm going to use
5:43
artist again wash
5:45
try that on the gold see what I get see
5:47
if the green tone makes a bit of a
5:49
difference to it I obviously got the dry
5:50
brush already
5:51
it's interesting quite like that to give
5:53
it a nice warm sort of green effect
5:59
[Music]
6:02
so I'm up with the green so far so I've
6:04
got a nice green tank for gold I've got
6:05
an ice cream cloak so what I'm gonna do
6:06
is just buzz through do a bit of
6:07
highlighting a bit more shading this
6:09
machine on the clove do some drivers on
6:10
the plumes and stuff like just finish
6:11
off the arm of the robes Etc
6:15
[Music]
6:23
it's a great thing with this particular
6:24
program is if you want to like try
6:26
makeup designs or war paint or anything
6:28
like that you can have a bit of a play
6:29
undo if you don't like it try different
6:31
things and then just you know translate
6:32
that to your models
6:33
[Music]
6:45
thank you
6:46
[Music]
6:49
this is what I love about this is like I
6:51
can literally just go I made a mistake
6:53
and I've spent ages on painting and like
6:56
tidy back up the flesh there's a really
6:58
good way of just naming some colors on
7:00
the model and going yeah that works that
7:02
doesn't work
7:03
so it looks a bit insane right now so I
7:05
think I'll pick those eyes out
7:09
[Music]
7:11
and now she looks like definitely
7:13
Illumina from Lord with some insaneness
7:15
going on but I mean that's just me
7:17
playing around that's the kind of thing
7:18
I'd do for doors of cane or like chaos
7:20
Warriors and stuff like that
7:22
um but it's a really nice way of just
7:23
playing around on the face
7:25
but the great thing with this app is you
7:26
can undo all that so I'm just gonna go
7:28
back to a normal face with the eye
7:29
makeup because I like that better
7:32
so there we are that is the color test I
7:34
think I'll go down the route of so
7:36
slightly green gold armor a nice sort of
7:39
I guess earthy green uh for the robes
7:42
again for my personal aluminif I will
7:44
just pick out the banding on those and
7:46
maybe do the opposite on the cloak
7:48
because I do have some of the stone
7:50
guard as well so they have like
7:51
different sort of effects two cloves so
7:54
I can use that as a guide and yeah hey
7:56
Patrick here and just a quick
7:58
Interruption to tell you about a brand
8:00
new feature in the game that we didn't
8:01
have access to when we were recording
8:03
these videos and that is the ability to
8:05
share your paint jobs from Moonraker so
8:08
if I click on something that we have
8:11
painted great paint job from peachy here
8:13
we have a new share button just next to
8:16
the name and if you click on that it'll
8:17
load and then here we are with a
8:19
copyable link and a full 3d render of
8:23
our painted miniature so you can share
8:24
it with all your mates back to the video
8:27
so with our moon breaker test model now
8:29
done what I'm going to do now is see if
8:31
I can take that information and apply it
8:33
to a real world model now the model we
8:36
used in game is slightly different to a
8:37
Luminaire railroad but the information
8:39
and color placement is still applicable
8:41
and just like in Moonraker I'm going to
8:42
start from a white undercoat and an
8:44
all-over washer sepia so the first thing
8:46
I'm going to do here is do an all over
8:47
dry brush with Pro acryl white all over
8:49
the mini
8:50
[Music]
8:54
and now we're going to move on to our
8:55
green tinged gold first up is the base
8:57
coat and gold sections any gold will do
8:59
but here I'm having a go at using Pro
9:01
acryl's Rich gold never used before so I
9:04
thought I'd give it a crack
9:07
for that I'm applying strike and
9:09
Scorpion green over the gold will give a
9:11
Viber green tinged gold and as it
9:13
settles in the recesses this will really
9:15
help add more punch to that effect
9:17
foreign
9:26
to the gold I prefer to use Silvers as
9:29
highlights as lighter Golds don't always
9:31
give you enough definition here I'm
9:33
using the layer model metallic air
9:35
aluminum the Gold's dull what I'm now
9:38
going to do is move on to the green
9:39
stone we'll be using greens I've never
9:41
used before so I'll aim to try and match
9:43
those colors that we did on the digital
9:45
test just so it ties in nicely and see
9:47
how it looks in a real world version I
9:49
should start with the cloak and for this
9:50
I will base coat it with Pro acryl green
9:52
as good coverage but I will apply a
9:54
second coat just to be sure
10:00
with a Coke base coated to add some
10:02
depth to those recesses I'm going to
10:04
apply pox Walker to the cloak as always
10:06
just check over for any pooling as well
10:08
with the shade applied in some areas you
10:10
might get some blotchiness so all I'm
10:11
going to do here is just tidy up those
10:13
raised areas and again I'm just using
10:15
Pro Acro green that's a punch to a
10:17
somewhat cold looking green I'm now
10:18
going to highlight with Pro acryl yellow
10:20
green and again if you splodge or make
10:22
any boo-boos just tidy back up with your
10:24
other green with my coat painted up I'm
10:26
now going to move on to the lighter
10:27
green details of the cloth for this I
10:29
will use pero Grill yellow green
10:31
I also decide at this point to paint the
10:33
white pie paint around the cloak like
10:35
green as I felt it sat better as an
10:37
overall look
10:43
flying striking scorpion green over that
10:44
green will help tie in nicely with the
10:46
Gold Toe and also add some extra
10:48
definition to the recesses
10:53
and finally on the light green areas I'm
10:55
just adding some yellow green as a
10:56
highlight to bring out some more
10:57
vibrancy on that Central cloth part
11:03
now I'm done with the robes I'm using
11:06
black Legion to paint the hair of the
11:07
arm bracelets and around the eyes just
11:10
like I did in the game
11:12
back
11:14
now moving on to the skin over that
11:17
white I'm applying thin down gum and
11:18
flesh 50 15 with water once that's all
11:21
dry I'm going to highlight the skin with
11:22
Pro acrylic and then add another thin
11:25
coat of gundamin Flesh to not back some
11:26
of those highlights
11:28
[Music]
11:32
now penguing eyes digitally on moon
11:34
break was pretty straightforward just a
11:35
couple of blobs smack in the middle of
11:37
those eyeballs however Translating that
11:39
to a miniature can be a little bit more
11:40
tricky now I've got two methods here
11:42
both of these use a black and a white so
11:44
use whatever black and white you've got
11:45
now method one is to paint the eyeball
11:48
with white and then neat clay drop in a
11:51
little black dot into the center
11:53
now the downside here is you have to
11:56
make sure that when you're done the
11:58
other eye it's Central as well or why'd
11:59
you get the bit of a Friday guy effect
12:01
carrying on so be mindful of that so try
12:03
and keep it as Central as you can or if
12:05
you're looking one way keep them both
12:06
looking that way or that way the method
12:09
two what we're going to do is instead of
12:11
having one dot of black we're gonna have
12:13
two dots of white so what you're doing
12:15
is you're doing an either side of the
12:17
pupil so one dot to the left of the
12:19
pupil one dot to the right of the pupil
12:20
again this one is weird because it's
12:23
almost like you're doing two dots
12:24
instead of one you do get more of a
12:26
central focused pupil now for method two
12:29
again we're just using black and white
12:30
here and we're starting off with a base
12:32
of black and applying two dots instead
12:34
of the one either side of the central
12:36
point so you basically as opposed to
12:37
painting the people in the middle doing
12:39
the white dot to the left and a white
12:40
dot to the right again instead of doing
12:42
one dot you're doing two so it's up to
12:43
you which one you want to do they put
12:45
really well lots of people do either so
12:47
it's what works for you so add my
12:49
original work in progress kind of skin
12:51
which is the red the cream and the gold
12:52
and I wanted something different I want
12:53
to get on the green Spectrum I knew that
12:55
so using the interface of moon breaker
12:57
really helped me sort of work out and
12:59
plan that color scheme so I knew from
13:02
before I even started painting the
13:03
actual physical model that I wanted a
13:04
dark green cloak I wanted like light
13:06
green trim and I wanted a green gold so
13:08
it was really useful for that the only
13:09
thing I would say is they don't actually
13:10
have like metallics so you'd have to use
13:12
like ochas and Grays to actually pick
13:14
those out now they already have
13:15
pre-painted models on there so you could
13:17
use a lot of that already just maybe
13:19
little tweaks here and there if you need
13:20
to and the only thing I would say is
13:22
really cool to have like a basin sort of
13:24
function in there as well because
13:25
sometimes when you as a painter you want
13:27
to see how your models sit on different
13:28
types of basin and I know orange Works
13:31
quite well with Korean which is why I
13:32
went down like a bit of an orangey nice
13:34
verdant undergrowth kind of vibe of mind
13:37
because then it would work but I've got
13:39
the experience of that so the question
13:41
is can digital painting improve and
13:43
speed up your own real world painting
13:46
I think it helps I don't think it's a
13:48
game changer I definitely think it
13:49
really really helps it's an extra tool
13:51
in your box of tools as you can see from
13:53
the video like color placement really
13:55
helps if you're not so sure what kind of
13:57
placement will kind of sit well next to
13:58
each other it's really good for that
13:59
especially if you're new to the Hobby as
14:00
well you don't know like the color wheel
14:02
or color theory but also playing around
14:04
with things like wall paint as you saw
14:05
in the video I did I had a pack of doing
14:06
some wall paint around their face as
14:07
well so I think it helps it I'm really
14:10
pleased with the color scheme when I
14:12
painted the model as well so yes
14:13
I think it is a good tool to add to your
14:16
vast array of painting tools that are
14:18
out there and before we go all that's
14:20
left to say is thank you so much for
14:21
watching thanks to moonbreaker for
14:23
sponsoring the video and we will see you
14:25
later see you on the next show
