Corvus Belli seems to be making a major marketing push recently. I've seen 4 sponsored videos from mini wargaming hobby creators I regularly watch this week.

I think this is the first video that really made NMM click for me. Thanks for the awesome video Dana! Also, always happy to see you indulge in some synthwave goodness!

[icedmuons]

So proud of our Canadian content creators. Just wanted you to know how much I deeply enjoy and appreciate your content. Just wonderful as always.

NMM has always been something I've struggled with, and watching "recipes" hasn't really made it easier for me. But I think I ended up slightly wiser after this video. Yeah, everyone mentions that you're painting the light as it reflects from its source, but having it visualised like this in black and white was much better at driving it home for me. And starting from (and completing) the mid-tones wasn't something I had grokked previously. Thanks, Dana, I feel like I actually learned something today.

Man, it really comes to life when you add in the lighting effects.

[JamieDaggers]

You know what they say: A sci fi mini isn''t complete without some classic bisexual lighting!
Awesome rundown on an elusive technique Dana! I think this sort of ground level approach to NMM is much needed.

Love Infinity, Its what got me back into the hobby, some of the best minis out there

[gijimbo]

Whoa. It was the colored lighting that really set this one off for me. 👍👍

[EdwardCullenij]

At last, I get it! Thank you, Dana! Really nice work 👍✨

[philiprosenberg]

This looks so awesome, would love to see a whole JSA force in this style!

[KevinoftheCosmos]

I love getting excited for new games/minis. I never would have thought I'd be moving to metal models for the first time after 6 years of resin. Great vid, as always Dana!

[laszlovad]

Thanks, Dana! This is the third time you unlocked a complicated painting concept for me with a single well-placed explanation. I never understood what the rule is behind the order of shadows and highlights on a metallic surface, but now I do, thanks to your insight about angles. The waterfall analogy is also great!

I’ll save this video next to your ones about glazes and CMYK color theory.

Your painting style is such a joy to see.

[krzysztofmathews]

That is a very good use of fluorescent colors. Great tutorial!

[hauntswargaming]

Great tutorial Dana! I really like the puzzle analogy. This makes me want to give NMM a try.

[Derlaid]

Oddly enough I finally got over my hangup about painting in a NMM style by using TMM paints. Having a shiny paint helped me figure out reflections and using something like Vallejo Xpress Paints which are pretty matte let me add easy shadows.

Glad to see you painting models for Infinity!

[ElijahAtchley]

I really like their models. Have been wanting to paint one for a while.
The paint job looks really cool, fits the mood of the model and the setting.

[Jimrod]

Nice Kuroshi Rider! Hope to see more Infinity on your channel soon!

[subedai]

Your style works great with Infinity, hoping to see more!
