painting monsters and beasts can seem
0:01
quite daunting at first difficult even
0:03
but when you scale it down to its
0:04
composite Parts it's actually pretty
0:06
straightforward every monster I've ever
0:07
painted I've really thoroughly enjoyed
0:10
the journey and you don't have to be an
0:11
exhibition level painter to get great
0:13
results so in this video I'm going to be
0:15
painting a rather delightful dinosaur
0:17
Beastie that Draco Studios of centers is
0:19
also known as a warm weather on more
0:21
Tyrant and we're picking out a variety
0:23
of different organic textures some that
0:25
are going to be used with minimal effort
0:26
for maximum effect and others if you
0:28
want to flex some extra details too
0:30
though we're going to be painting up a
0:31
dinosaur in this video you can use the
0:33
methods and techniques in this video to
0:34
apply to anything in your own
0:35
collections whether that's your own
0:37
seraphon your own demon beats all the
0:39
way to the tyrionids in your new
0:41
Leviathan box set it's massively
0:43
translatable so starting from a white
0:45
undercoat what I'm going to do is get
0:46
some more Tyrion Grime and apply that
0:47
all over now what I'm going to do here
0:48
is thin it down 50 50. so I'm just going
0:51
to pour a decent amount inside this
0:53
spray lid and then get the same amount
0:55
of water just I've got loads there
0:56
because it's a big beast and I can just
0:58
apply that over and I might want to
1:00
second time as well once it's dry for
1:01
those deeper recesses
1:03
[Music]
1:10
then it's a light dry brush of ivory
1:13
again just working your way around
1:14
picking out those textures don't matter
1:17
if you get on other areas that you're
1:18
not going to paint as an actual part of
1:20
the dinosaur body it's just there to get
1:22
those highlights picked out
1:24
next up is G's Mantis Warriors green and
1:26
I'm going to be thinning this down with
1:27
water 50 50. now when you start applying
1:30
this you want this on the top part of
1:31
the actual body saving that white creamy
1:34
undercoat for its underbelly don't worry
1:36
if it looks like there's a hard line
1:37
between the underbelly and the actual
1:38
green because we'll sort that out later
1:40
with a dry brush
1:41
[Music]
1:47
then I'll add some Ivory again to add
1:49
some texture to the skin and again just
1:51
work a little bit harder where the
1:53
Mantis Warrior green meets the
1:54
underbelly and that will help just blend
1:55
it in
1:56
[Music]
2:03
now next up we're going to get some
2:05
Ivory I'm going to use this to add some
2:06
texture to the skin we've got two
2:08
options here the first one which is
2:09
pretty easy and straightforward is to
2:11
get some Sponge to get some of that
2:13
Ivory on it and then dab it off then all
2:14
we're going to do is just then dapple
2:16
that onto the skin effect should be
2:18
slightly cautious when doing this you
2:20
know don't be too heavy-handed and what
2:22
that's going to do is give it a bit of a
2:23
dappled leathery skin effect
2:25
and it might seem quite bright at this
2:27
point but don't worry we'll sort that
2:28
out later with a bit of a glaze
2:30
the other option and this is one that
2:32
takes a bit more time but looks far more
2:34
effective is to get some Ivory again and
2:36
then just start adding little strokes
2:39
almost give it like a rough leathery
2:40
skin effect as well so you're just
2:42
working in like a direction just doing
2:44
little strokes sometimes it's better to
2:46
start off first just doing a couple of
2:47
ghost Strokes is what I call and then
2:49
just move your brush further into the
2:51
model and then just do a couple of
2:52
little flicks here and there you just do
2:54
some dots as well and that just gives it
2:55
a bit of a texture
2:57
then we're going to get some grass green
2:58
we're going to add this to the upper
3:00
parts of the body where you'd want a
3:02
brighter skin tone it can be thinned
3:04
down as well so don't worry about that
3:05
if it is a bit thin if you don't need to
3:06
do multiple coats because some of that
3:08
other colors come underneath like the
3:09
shade Etc is actually going to add to
3:11
this
3:13
then we're going to sponge on some black
3:15
green we're going to do this on the
3:17
uppermost parts of the actual body so
3:19
this is going to be onto the fins and
3:20
the spikes around the face and again it
3:22
will just give it a bit of a roughness
3:23
to it as well nice bit of blotchy
3:25
patterning here and there and if you do
3:27
find that it looks a bit too much in
3:29
some places just gets some of that grass
3:30
green and tidy back up and also in some
3:33
places you might want to stip it on with
3:34
a brush instead of using a sponge
3:36
because it'd be quite hard to reach next
3:38
up is to get some thinned Mantis
3:39
Warriors green pretty much the same mix
3:41
we used before I'm going to glaze over
3:42
the skin this is going to do two things
3:43
firstly the texture we use where we add
3:46
Ivory where it's too bright it's going
3:48
to knot that back slightly so it's going
3:49
to make it not so white and pale and
3:51
also those black green sections where
3:54
I've stippled it on that's just gonna
3:56
add a bit more warmth to those as well
3:57
so it's not too Stark and dark
4:00
foreign
4:02
[Music]
4:06
sections I'm going to get some grass
4:08
green and dry brush that on so just take
4:10
your time and just build up those areas
4:11
on the edges alternatively you could
4:13
step it on as well and do some dabbled
4:15
Strokes on the edges with a brush just
4:17
to give it some extra texture again it's
4:18
entirely to you which of these methods
4:20
you use all of them work you could mix
4:22
them all together if you wanted to
4:25
do you like fantasy
4:27

5:11
Caesar so go check out the kickstarter
5:13
to see for yourself and check out the
5:15
link in the description
5:17
right back onto painting some more
5:19
dinosaurs
5:20
dinosaur
5:24
Dino the light underbelly what we're
5:26
going to do is just relayer almost if
5:29
not highlight with Ivory so the
5:31
intention here is where it might be a
5:33
bit blotchy from that wash it's just
5:34
going to relay that up and also where
5:36
we've got the Mantis Warrior green
5:37
joining the edge of the belly it's going
5:39
to help blend that in as well
5:41
to help remove quite a solid line from
5:43
the Mantis Warrior green
5:44
now for the highlights I'm going to be
5:46
using white now I'm going to be applying
5:49
a couple of Strokes here using a nice
5:50
fine brush just to add some texture you
5:52
do some dots as well or for an easier
5:54
version just get some Sponge get some of
5:56
that white on it dab it off and then
5:57
just sponge it on giving you some
5:59
texture with minimal effort
6:03
now we're going to add some patterning
6:04
to our more Tyrant or dinosaur Beastie
6:07
and there's multiple ways of doing that
6:09
you can use any sort of reference from
6:11
the Internet or whatever to get some
6:12
cool patterns I'm just going to do a
6:13
nice sort of dappled effect going down
6:15
its spine on its head as well and I'm
6:18
using deep orange for this now less is
6:20
more to start off you can always add
6:21
more to the pattern if you need to
6:23
um start with one coat then add a second
6:25
coat if you need to as well one side I'm
6:27
going to use an old brush that can still
6:28
maintain a decent point but if you want
6:30
a quick method we're going to do the
6:32
sponge effect again and you can just get
6:33
some Sponge dap it off and then just
6:36
start attacking the side of it in some
6:38
place you want to get that stipple brush
6:39
that you used previously to stip it on
6:41
as well be mindful that you have to give
6:43
it a good wash otherwise you might end
6:44
up mixing some of that green in there as
6:47
well once the Deep orange is done we're
6:49
going to do the same thing we apply some
6:50
more splurges but using light orange we
6:53
can add it to the same pattern but we'll
6:54
be mindful to make a little bit smaller
6:56
so you can still see some of that deeper
6:57
orange on the outskirts of it and again
6:59
just work a bit smaller and you might
7:01
need to do a second coat now as final
7:03
stage of the pattern we're going to be
7:04
using sunny skin tone what we're aiming
7:06
to do here is pick out some of those
7:07
raised areas where there's natural
7:09
actual highlights so usually this can be
7:11
around the face where there's creases in
7:12
the legs if you've got the pattern on
7:14
the legs and bits around the spines and
7:16
stuff like that it's more just to
7:17
emphasize the edges of the actual skin
7:19
as opposed to be part of a pattern so
7:22
you know picking out like rough bits on
7:24
its face around its eyelids Etc
7:27
for our eyes we're going to keep them
7:29
pretty simple for this video we're going
7:30
to start off with a base coat of deep
7:31
orange again just be mindful try and get
7:33
a nice point to your brush and just dab
7:35
that in then finish off with a little
7:36
dot of ivory
7:39
now we're going to move on to what could
7:41
be a bug bear for a lot of people which
7:43
is bone claws and teeth so like horns
7:46
and stuff like that so I'm going to
7:47
start first by using grimy gray and
7:49
we're just going to base coat any teeth
7:50
and horns and you can also do the claws
7:51
as well
7:52
I'm also going to pick out the tongue in
7:54
preparation for later on when we're
7:56
painting the tongue
7:58
now the first step here after the base
8:01
coat is to get some seraphim sepia I'm
8:03
going to apply that all over the horns
8:04
and teeth
8:07
once that's dry I'm going to get some
8:09
toggle raid shade now I'm going to work
8:11
about halfway up so you still want some
8:14
of that seraphim seep is showing at the
8:15
tips so your toggle red shade is halfway
8:17
get into the base of the horn or base of
8:20
the teeth and then what we're going to
8:21
do now is get some agraxia shade and
8:22
apply that in the deeper recesses what
8:24
this is going to do is give you a nice
8:25
transition from a nice sepia turn on the
8:28
tips get into a more of a ready Ruddy
8:30
kind of tone which is the toggle red
8:32
shade straight down to aggrex Surf shade
8:34
in those deeper recesses then we're
8:36
going to move on to our first highlight
8:37
which is grimy gray just picking out
8:38
some streaks again you can follow the
8:40
Contours of the actual Claws and Bone if
8:42
you're not sure just pick out what you
8:44
feel is comfortable
8:47
and on the extremities just pick out a
8:49
bit of white mostly going to be like the
8:51
tips of teeth and stuff like that
8:56
and then just to knock the back those
8:57
highlights just so they tie in nicely
8:59
and look a bit more yellowed when you
9:00
get some seraphim sepia and just apply
9:02
that over
9:08
now for the tongue we're also going to
9:10
apply this to the gums as well and
9:12
obviously like the roof of the mouth
9:13
we're gonna be using magos purple on all
9:15
those areas we base coated grimy Gray
9:19
with that dry we're going to tidy up in
9:20
some places and also highlight in others
9:22
with grimy gray so you can do some like
9:25
nice texture on the tongue they've got
9:27
some horrible warts on it as well so you
9:28
can pick those out too
9:35
with those highlights picked out we're
9:37
just going to reapply some magos purple
9:38
over those you can apply a little bit
9:40
more thin down and what that'll do is
9:42
just give it a bit of a glaze as opposed
9:43
to just coat it all over and make it too
9:45
neat and too dark so all in all I really
9:48
enjoyed painting this model that Draco
9:49
studios are sent is there's there's lots
9:51
to love about it I enjoy painting
9:53
creatures and monsters My Favorite
9:54
Things is doing the face and all the
9:55
pattern on it and that tongue the
9:56
texture on that tongue was really fun to
9:58
do so hopefully you've learned a lot
9:59
from this and if you want to learn how
10:01
to paint other monsters check out angron
10:03
video which is just going to appear as
10:05
well there's lots of things to learn
10:06
from that video that will help you too
10:08
as always thank you to Draco Studios for
10:10
supporting us on this video and thanks
10:11
to our patrons for being amazing as
10:14
always I'll see in the next one
