Hey everybody, it's Kevin from 3D Printed Props and today's video we are going to be working on this just fantastically designed Raven model from the team Titans. I just I love how this model is put together Now the team Titans have always had a special place in my heart. I'm a huge comic book collector. I have tons and tons of Teen Titans comics when I was a kid. I actually used to go to the mall my friend worked there This is dating me and he worked at Camelot Music and that really dates me and I would drive up with him and just hang out for the day And I would always go over to I'm seeing these words that you people want to understand probably some of you I would go to a store called B Dalton's which is a bookstore a physical bookstore in the mall and I would pick up from a spin Iraq believe it or not a Teen Titans comic I go over to I came over when it was called some Chinese place I get some beef and broccoli and fried rice. I'd sit down and I would read my monthly Teen Titans book and It is a fun fun memory. I swear when I read a Teen Titans I smell beef and broccoli and That is just those two are just linked together So this was a really really fun model to work on and I really really enjoyed it So I'm always looking for new models new artists People that really do really nice design and I found this model this Raven model over on Facebook the group I'll have in the description below and They usually have some pretty good artists on this site on this Facebook group and I saw this Raven model and I knew I had to print it I just love how this thing is designed It was really really easy to print and really fun to paint So let's go ahead behind the fake wall and get painting Okay, super happy with how this printed out I printed it out on my Ella goo. I didn't really want to go super big with it and I printed the version with the eyes closed It comes with a couple different versions face wise. You're probably wondering what's that notch for? It's for the hair and I really like how that was designed now This is the coolest part of this model how the cape makes her look like she is suspended Over the books and the floor totally love how that came out Didn't need a little sanding not too much in the back end area here Just because it's gonna be covered up, but I thought why not you all could also can see some Divots that I will have to fill and I usually use this epoxy scope. I love this stuff It hardens in a couple hours and it's sandable and it's really cool And I use these little tools these little clay tools for it because you can really get in there Links for everything I use will be below. They are affiliate links I did snap off one of her fingers So I went ahead and built a new finger so there she is all sanded and Filled with some different fillers that I like to use and I'm using the artist's reference plus a couple other things He did an amazing job with his rendering So I thought why not use this reference so I'm picking out some paints and if you like those racks I'll have links to those I've got them on Thingiverse and now we're gonna mix out some paints And this is just on an old piece of glass. It's an actually an old bed I have switched to a new system. I'll be doing a video on soon It's using a wet palette and it is awesome. I love wet palettes. I will never go back But this is what I was using for this and I'm of course just putting down my base coat and I'm finding little things that I sort of need to go back and tweak later on and Now I'm gonna darken my purplish area up because you figure the inside of this cloak You know is gonna be more in shadow because it is the inner part of the cloak her body the the the way the lighting would fall and Then I'm actually gonna go in and darken the ridges on the inside a little bit more because again, they would have more shadow And I'm just using a little bit of black and a little bit of darker purple to make that happen So now it's time for some shoe painting as you can see my fingers are getting totally painted up here But what are you gonna do the pieces are very very tiny and again? I'm just covering everything in this purple bluish color Before I go through and add a lot of the detail So here is the hair and I'm gonna make this that sort of black to purple So I'm starting off with a a darker purple here And I'm gonna wet blend so what that means is now I pretty much have just black and I'm going with the black up there And I'm wet blending it into the purple so it's pretty much black on top and Then I'll pick up some purple now and I will blend that in on the model So instead of blending it on my palette I'm actually blending it on the model itself and I really like how that turned out for this because I think the hair is a really Important part of this that really gives the model life and now I'm doing almost like a dry brushing Or I'm putting very little paint on there. Sorry, that's not in focus and I am adding some of the purple towards the bottoms And again, I'm really dry brushing this and doing it sort of sideways to really hit the angles Now I'm just putting in some of the filler color for the skin She is very light skin so I'm using a lot of light colors And then I am using lighter colors to get some shape to it same thing with the boots here to get that sense of depth You want to add a darker color to the shadows as you can see and then where the light would hit and the upper parts of the Folds I'm adding a lighter bluish purple to really sort of make them pop off Light against shadow is how you get that You know that separation you can see here in the folds again I'm hitting the upper parts of these folds with a lighter color and that is making them stand out And I'm gonna do the same thing with her arms I'm going ahead and adding that lighter bluish purple to those To really get that shape and form now if you're unsure how to do this type of thing There are a number of amazing modeler painters out there that I've been watching now I used to call it comic books for a while But it is totally different when you're doing it on a 3d shape to create that That type of a look then it is when you're doing it on a sort of 2d page for a comic book But the idea is there so I've kind of have a little bit of a jump ahead But it's still when it's a 3d piece it's a little it's a little different and but I'm really enjoying learning how to do that So again as you can see it really gives it more shape when you get this highlight here Where the most of it would be where the light would be hitting and I didn't want to go too too realistic with this Just because I just I wanted it to be a little cartoony, but not Not super sort of like cel shaded. So again the light would be hitting here the top part of the chest area would be brighter So that's a little bit of a lighter color and then what I'll do is underneath the chest you can see here I put a darker color in so you can see it sort of gives it that separation And here I am using a really tiny tiny brush with some red paint put in all these details And I will do it for these now some of the little or tiny ones I'm not going to be able to do on screen because I just wouldn't be able to because when I paint little things like that I'm using these I love these things link below for these I use these things all the time for fine stuff And now it's glue time. We're gonna add some glue Dry fit first and then add some glue to really pop these things on here and There we go Now it's base time and this was a nice base. I like when bases are again well designed, but a simple But still have some detail and you can see all the detail in this wood and we're gonna add some Different paints to this to really really draw it out So I went with an overall sort of burn umber and now I'm going through with some darker browns to sort of fill in that space And I might go back with something a little bit darker. I haven't decided yet How worn I want this to look now? I'm adding some darker tones in here because her bodies here And that would be more shadowed So I'm adding some darker browns and a little bit of blue and a little bit of purple in there to darken that area up But I like this base. It's simple But I think with these extra little bit of details you get that sort of wood grain look to it Now we're gonna do the books and some blackish browns and then getting in there with a tiny brush And with a cream color to do the pages. I didn't want to go with straight white We're gonna glue the hands on Glue her body to the cape and make sure that's pushed in there really well and Again, I can't say it enough. I dig how that thing stands up I'm adding a liberal amount of glue, which is what I usually do and Pushing this thing into place and making sure it fits well now. Here's her face I didn't show you how I did did this because I need to have be holding it and getting in close and I'm really not set up for that Yet I'm working on that and hopefully in the future I'll be able to and there is her hair on here again Love how the hair turned out. Let's pop that head on and see how she looks and There we go super happy with how she looks and I did notice I forgot to paint the back for hair So I popped it off and fixed that and you can see now that it's all together How putting those lights in darks next to each other where they should be really gives this model a ton of separation and makes it pop So I just love this model.
