If a tutorial was enough to achieve this that would be great. Some skills are also required and they are not given to everyone :p
Superb work.

Post by: opponenttheory on April 07, 2017, 12:10:13 AM
Here's my zombie test model. I've gone for a different approach using lots of strong tone wash since they're zombies and I'm too lazy paint them properly

I would describe that paint job in many ways. Lazy is not one of them.

Looks great.  Really enjoying this thread - thanks for posting.

Zombies are ideal models for trying new things such as freehand. And yes there'll be a tutorial at some point.

Here's another one done this morning.

Title: Re: Walking Dead All Our War painting tutorials
Post by: opponenttheory on April 10, 2017, 01:51:08 AM
A couple more. I'm enjoying painting like this and it's been a good learning experience. Normally, I aim for reasonably smooth transitions but with these guys the paint gets slapped on with little regard for such things. The contrast is what makes the final result along with a few applications of strong tone wash :)

Post by: von Lucky on April 10, 2017, 11:10:34 AM
Nice stuff - these are a departure from your usual style (and suits them well). What does the shirt say? Friends something?
Title: Re: Walking Dead All Our War painting tutorials
Post by: opponenttheory on April 10, 2017, 10:27:20 PM
Friends not food. It's based on an actual t-shirt design from a vegan clothing company. It was the first thing that came up on instagram when I looked for clothing designs.

Great work.  The original "Finding Nemo" movie had a scene where sharks repeated Fish were "friends not food" in a 12 step program atmosphere.  Great use of the line here!

Hello leadadventure

Wave 5 is almost complete. In the meantime I've had a go at making a youtube video on painting a zombie. No idea what I was doing but I figured I'd learn as I go along. Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.

I can't remember the last time I watched a painting video - your one was effortless to watch. Nice pace and while some things were obvious, some things were new (the eyes) - so thanks for sharing.
Title: Re: Walking Dead All Our War painting tutorials
Post by: opponenttheory on January 28, 2019, 12:13:22 PM
Thanks.

My intention with this video was to demonstrate my process and to show that you don't need any fancy techniques to paint a decent looking model. Future videos probably won't be as long as there is a lot of repetition that isn't really necessary.

Thanks. Painting the chair was a lot of fun.

Here's the Here's Negan set. Easily my favourite models from walking dead so far.

I've had another go at a Rick Grimes tutorial.

I'm still figuring out how to make videos, everything still takes longer than I'd like. But at least I got a nice looking model out of it.

The colour guides and tutorials are very useful.

Maybe this wil prompt me to finally slap some paint on mine...

So these are possibly the last group of models I've painted for the walking dead commission I had been working on since I'm not aware of any future releases. I still have a bunch to paint for myself but it's a little sad to come to the end of what's been a fun project.
