Wouldn't it be interesting to paint the same set of miniatures changing the mother colour, but keeping the rest of colours the same? To see how it really impacts on the overall feeling.

Halo tip was actually a useful way to think of hair highlight. Thanks for the advise

Ninjon, you are one of the very few Mini Painting YouTubers that I check daily to see if I missed a video — please don’t ever stop producing content!!! You’re legendary man!

[ZipZapRap]

Marco Frisoni's style combining significant underpainting, transparent inks, and oils is basically this. The ultimate style using this methodology is executed by James Wappel, his coloured shadeding + oils ensures that every mm of the model is blended with a mother colour.

Jon, mate, I've gotta say. Your intro is S-tier. I've rewinded it numerous times to see that loveable dorky face spin round

[grud]

It's gorgeous. It looks like a comic drawing, which is very unique for a 3D model and I love it.

[TheDiscobeef]

I love that you make a point of not caring about smooth blends, but a dark base and deliberate strong highlights. As someone with not a lot of painting time during the week, techniques to make a striking look are great to see

"Don't blend anything until you've established your values" is something I learned from watching portrait painters and art conservation videos.

[KamiNoSabaki]

I'm restarting my love for 40k Space elves and upon looking for painting advise stumbled over your channel.
I love your work and your videos help me a lot. Thanks for that <3

[stepfannify]

Love the Goobertown Cup in the Background. Love the Comunity for being one and totally wholesome. Thanks!

[TheBalmy]

This is one of the most visually pleasing color schemes I have seen. It hits my brain in just the right way.

[JustLookinkAround]

Ninjon, I really love your videos! More than just techniques, they seem like attempts to free people of constraints they put on themselves to do something like "it's supposed to be done", and instead do something odd and weird and ultimately AWESOME!

Your videos really help me get out of my painting rutt and just go for something cool!

Thanks a lot!!!

[sillymonger]

Love how great your channel is...being best friends with Miniac, it would be easy to duplicate his style and channel, but you constantly bring new meaningful and interesting information while making it all feel exculsively Ninjon. Thanks for all your hard work!!!

I'm a mother color, you're a mother color, we should paint each other's mothers.

[Johan]

"he's a cat" wtf Jon 😂 purrfect.
Awesome painting!

[vyren]

Oh my God.
This is the most beautiful and at the same time simplest model in terms of colors that I have seen with you so far.

I was just on the shop page and next to this diorama I found 3 other models that I would buy right away - but I don't have a printer: /
Damn

Please keep it up with the mothercolor thats a very easy and cool way to paint - I made the experience myself in art class and my Gray Knights mixed in a blue and used it in all colors.

[SulliverVittles]

When first learning how to highlight hair, I'd look at hair dye box art and they usually give a really good example of the 'halo' thing you mentioned.

[shawnsteene]

Good video, Jon. I especially love the points where you "keep it real" -- like the reminder to us (and yourself) that wet paint looks different than it does once it dries. The fact that I am a Minnesota native is just a bonus...
