🇬🇧 In the second video, we start the Marneus Calgar series and show you how to paint the armor using Tabletop+.

In the following videos of the series, we will paint the cloak inside and out, as well as the shooting effect and its OSL.

We hope you enjoy it!

Great watch! Will you have anything covering the process of painting the face?

The Joust Studio

Thank you Chris! For Calgar I will have the cape and the gun muzzle&OSL. For the face I used the same recipe than Lysander. You should be able to find the tutorial, let me know if you don’t

Chris

Oh excellent! Yes I’ve seen it, looking forward to giving that a try on my one! And looking forward to the cape tutorial as well

Leighton

Awesome video! What brushes do you use for final edge highlight? That tip has such a good point!

The Joust Studio

Thank you! I use a Raphael 8404 size 1, most important: sharp tip and I like with a big belly so the paint stays wet longer

Just (re)watching this in advance of starting my Ultramarine project. Would it be fair to say that you end up with a relatively small area of macragge blue on each section? It seems like there's a decent amount of shadow and highlight, but smaller areas of midtone. I'm also wondering if I can trust myself with an airbrush to be this controlled - do you think the same principles could be applied using a sponge, which seems to be very popular, and maybe a bit more accessible.

The Joust Studio

Hi James!! Yes, ideally you should be able to see shadows, mid-tones, and highlights in order to create the gradient that will give you depth and volume. The better your control with the airbrush, the better you’ll achieve this. The same principle applies to sponge, brush, or any other method. In my opinion, the airbrush is the smoothest tool to use and the fastest, but it needs practice. For me, it’s worth the time investment. Using a brush will consume a lot of time glazing or smoothing transitions, and the results with a sponge are going to be rougher, which I personally don’t like.

James

Sounds like it's a case of practice, practice and more practice then!!

The Joust Studio

That is what I would recommend James! Some people might think different
