Your tutorials are so professional and elegant. I get flash backs of being a kid watching Bob Ross. That's the highest praise I can give, just amazing job!

[BrianReichert]

This entire series is great. Please consider doing more for Descent in the future. Thanks.

[sasukefanboi]

Continue this series please! It's such a motivation to paint along your videos!

[blue-headedguyinlightblues]

Yet another fantastic result!!!! I am really looking forward to seeing your approach with monsters. Thank you once again.

[LordQualopec]

Great Videos, i use them to paint my game. They help me a lot. I wish the rest of the models had a video too.

[drkknght]

Always so relaxing to watch your painting videos. Keep them coming!

[michaeljdauben]

Another excellent and inspiring video. You continue to entertain and inform with this series. I'm looking forward to your take on some of the monsters of this game.

Once again a terrific video ! Thanks a lot !

[mcdreamy]

Sehr schöne Videos! Schaue ich immer wieder gern zur Inspiration. Weiter so! Und bitte noch viel viel mehr! 😊

[Eskice_Miniature]

Very beautiful production and good painting ! So Great !

[Revolution_Games]

Thanks for doing these video's. I have painted my first miniatures ever because of these videos :)

[thebrewgeek]

So great! I was hoping that you would show this hero.

[Elderos]

As always, great work. I am interested in seeing how you go about painting the skeleton archers. I've found that the skeletons I have painted, in the past, were among the harder figures, for me, to pain. I'm looking forward to seeing what you tackle next. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[ParallelTwinWings]

amazing!!!! now to do the last three characters.

[markusschmitz]

Awesome as usual...
Yeah....Monsters are coming....😃😃😃😃

Wunderschön bemalte Figuren und die Anleitungen sind spitze. Über viele neue Descent 2. Edition Figuren Anleitungen wie man Sie bemalt würde ich mich sehr Freuen. Super arbeit weiter so.

[AlexKhovrin]

Great thanks for your videos! I've already painted two heroes using your tutorials. They are great! I would not rate them 'for beginners' because of complicated colour mixing =) I mean official videos from GW show us really simple three steps colour schemes but you make it at more advanced level. Which is really great! Can't wait new videos from your Descent series, specially Jain Fairwood you've announced in Feb. Thank you so much again!

[c.cooper]

Ooh, I've been looking forward to this! Been considering swiping her out of the box for a player character for ages :D

[gonzalovidal]

excellent video! thanks for keeping up with the descent minis. only 3 more heroes to go. i was wondering, after finishing them could you do some lieutenants? there are no guides anywhere and certainly not any good reference photo of a painted one, while there are a lot for the monsters... just an idea.
on another topic, i love how you change the music in each video with diferent instruments. grisban OWNED those bagpipes!
congratulations on your channel!!

Love these videos! I had wanted to give mini painting a try for years, but was too nervous I'd be horrible. Your videos started as entertainment for me, then became inspiration. I have just started painting, having completed several practice minis and now have finished my first one I'm happy to put on a gaming table. The next mini I plan to paint is a half orc/half dark elf, and I'm picturing a skin tone a little darker than what you've got here (somewhere near the the color of an avocado skin). Would you recommend going with a darker shade for the base coat, or using a similar shade as in this video but darkening the shadows more with applications of a wash or similar (or something altogether different)?
