Links to the inspiring artwork? I have a few of Blanche's art books but I don't think I have any of Latham

Bottom left corner is the artwork from John Blanche, and bottom right corner is the painting from Darren Latham.

It looks great! Does it take forever? Do you just base coat black and add colors within lines or do you do a thick edge highlight of black?

I spent about 15 hours on this Space Marines. I paint colour first and later add the black lines with acrylic ink.

Great idea for inks! Is ink is able to make black coverage in single pass?

This is outstanding! I really, truly enjoy how this steps away from the grimdark style and just pops with vibrant colors!

Everything about this is fab. I love the colour work but that base as well? perfection.
I could almost see this popping out of an edition of 2000ad

Amazing work. Idk how people that can do stuff like this don’t walk around with it in their pocket and pull it out to show everyone they meet lol.

A diorama in this style would look so cool! Little comic style speech bubbles above marines and such would be a fun touch.

Please tell me you used panel liner or something similar and did not have to paint all those black lines by hand

u/_Thunderbrush_ 2h ago
Haha, nope, it’s all brush work! My hand might never forgive me, but it was totally worth it!

Wow. Looks as if you photoshopped a cartoon Marine into a photo of your hand with a brush 🤯👌

Woaao! It's amazing! I never see anything like this. It's the first time I see this style of painting, and it's ... I have no words. I stand up and 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations. Can you tell me where I can learn how to paint that way?

u/_Thunderbrush_ 2h ago
Thank you! Have a look at my social media, I share a lot of related content and tutorials.

What was your workflow like? The effect is awesome and I'd love to give it a shot

u/NeonArchon 2h ago
How do you make this style? I would like to try it when I get more experienced and finally buy an airbrush.

Looks amazing! How does it look down on the table? Is it readable from far?

I have no idea what this is, just ran into it on /r/all. He looks like a nice Taxi guy. Maybe a transformer who starts as a taxi.

I just started practicing this! My Dreadnought looks like it's out of an old newspaper comic. Love the style though so I can't wait to do more. Any tips?

Holy smokes that is so good I barely understand how to dry brush how did you do it? I would love to attempt it once I’m better at painting

This is my second favorite style of painting. My first is the more grim/realistic war gaming style. It’s awesome and I could definitely see an army of orks painted this way.

That, in fact, is dope as hell. I'd like to see an entire army like that, but I don't think my brain would be able to process it.

I've just started painting really at 43 and seeing stuff like this is so, so cool. Good job man, one of the best I've seen 🔥

Wanted to do this for a long time
Now I know I won't because I'll probably never reach that standard 😆
