Anyone familiar with this guy? His work is incredible.

Wondering what techniques he uses to achieve such great shading. I'm assuming very fine airbrushing?

**kb_lock**

I do not believe that is airbrushed, looks like wet blending (of about a million coats)

**Doug2507**

Cool. I'd better go google wet blending!

**eosgreen**

looks layered to me with thin glazes

**adzila**

I'd say wet blending rather then airbrushing.

Amazing either way

**kb_lock**

I'll actually go back and say it wasn't wet blending but rather layering, funny that is what I had in mind anyway (hence the million layers). He has done some tutorials here;

Supreb. Yeah, amazing work. Was googling terminator chaplains and found his, couldn't believe it wasn't a rendered image. Great inspiration for me getting back into 40k, looking forward to getting my wolves painted up!

**Rigger X**

It's the kind of work that inspires a person, right?

Brings a tear to my eye.
I've seen the technique applied on a video before and wow, it's so simple yet garners amazing results.

**Doug2507**

For sure! I guess for guys like me who actually want to field the units it'll be a toss up between spending a lot of time on each model or doing them to a good table standard! I think i'll do the units stock but spend some time with HQ's and see what i can do.

**kb_lock**

By looking at his methods you could just work on them between playing with them.

**eosgreen**

its how i paint everything. it takes forever so....

i only do it for HQs and important models
