🖌️🎉Next Videos!!!
Hi everyone!
This month we have a really interesting mix of videos: from useful comparisons to full figures, with a bit of everything for different levels. We’ll take a look at which figure scale best suits your workflow, how to paint a face without an airbrush, and we’ll also dive deep into fantasy with a figure that’s sure to surprise you.
Here’s everything that’s coming:
Pros and cons of each figure scale (basic level):
We’re starting with a very practical video to help you choose the figure scale that best fits your needs. We’ll go over the most common scales used for printing and painting, and we’ll analyze different factors such as level of detail, painting time, cost, etc. Each scale will be scored based on these aspects, and by the end of the video, depending on your priorities, you’ll be able to easily see which scale is the best for you.
How to paint Magneto's face (easy level):
Magneto was the figure chosen by vote this month! And since many of you asked for a full figure that’s easy to follow, here it is. We’ll start with his face which, although it’ll be hidden under the helmet, gives us a chance to practice some basic techniques. We won’t be using glazes or complex methods, everything is designed so you can easily replicate it.
How to paint Magneto's helmet and suit (easy level):
Next, we move on to Magneto’s suit. Painting in grayscale can be intimidating for many, but I’ll show you how to do it in a simple and effective way. While I don’t usually work with pure grays, this time I’ll focus on them so you can see that, with the right guidance, it’s easier than it seems.
How to paint Magneto's base (easy level):
We’ll wrap up the Magneto figure with his base. I love when we can work on complete figures through a three-part format. We’ll finish it all off so you can have a full piece from scratch.
How to paint Drizzt Do'Urden's purple face (medium level):
We’re diving into the world of fantasy with the figure of Drizzt from Baldur’s Gate. Even if you’re not familiar with the character, this figure is perfect to explore new approaches. In this first video, we’ll focus on painting his face, with a dark purple tone that’s not very common and gives him a mysterious and unique look. It’s a different way to start a figure that, you’ll see, might open the door to discovering how much fun painting fantasy characters can be.
How to paint Drizzt's clothes (advanced level):
This is where fantasy really shines. We’ll work with strong contrasts, defined highlights, and a clear intention: to make the figure look like a 3D illustration. Advanced techniques for a bold and visually striking result.
Paint animal fur and the base with OSL (advanced level):
To finish this figure, we’ll work on the black panther that accompanies Drizzt. While its fur might seem simple, we’ll see how to simulate hair texture so the figure comes to life, showing volume and strands naturally. We’ll also complete the piece by painting the base and applying light effects (OSL) to give it that magical and striking touch it deserves.
Paint Morpheus's face without an airbrush (advanced level):
We’re finishing with Morpheus’ bust, also chosen by vote. In this case, I accepted a challenge from one of my students: paint the entire face without using an airbrush. Just brushwork, from beginning to end. A very special video that shows how, with technique and patience, you can achieve incredible results.
How to paint Morpheus's clothes (medium level):
To complete this bust, we’ll see how to realistically paint a purple shirt and a golden tie. An unusual combo, no doubt, but one that makes Morpheus look like the tough guy he is in the final result.
I want to remind you, as I always do, that during this month I'll be painting and recording the videos, but they'll probably be fully published by the beginning of next month.
Thank you for your support. I want to sincerely thank everyone who supports this project. None of this would be possible without you. Each of you is important, and together we’re making this community grow every day. If you’re not subscribed yet, I encourage you to join us. See you soon in the videos.

Can't wait for the Morpheus face paint ❤️❤️❤️❤️
hell yeah, I have the drizzt and have the Bust printed out so looking forward to this one.
Where did you get the Drizzt files? He's my favorite character from my favorite author.
Oh yay, I already have the Drizzt one!
Do you have experience painting weapon props? I 3d printed a hand of ragnaros and I wanted to get the color scheme correct. Im a terrible painter lol
No, the Patreon only has videos of figures, but you could apply the techniques to large weapons.
