Painting Driller & Bosco – Embrace the Mistakes | Deep Rock Galactic Minis by Lotus Thalia

Description provided by Lotus Thalia on YouTube:

Painting isn't about perfection — it's about progress. In this video, I paint both Driller and his robotic partner Bosco from Deep Rock Galactic. The first attempt didn’t go well with contrast over zenithal, so I scrapped it and started fresh with Moon Yellow. This guide demonstrates how to paint Deep Rock Galactic miniatures, specifically focusing on the Driller and Bosco models. Whether you are a fan of the game or a hobbyist looking to improve your skills, this walkthrough highlights common pitfalls when using zenithal priming and contrast paints. I openly share why my first attempt with these figures ended in a complete failure, providing a realistic look at the painting process. By following this breakdown, you will see how dark undercoats can impact your final result when using translucent paints. Seeing these errors helps you avoid similar issues when working on your own projects. I show the specific techniques needed to correct these mistakes and achieve a better finish on your gaming figures. 🎨 Paints Used: Driller Primer: Zenithal (light application) Base: Moon Yellow Shading: Cooper Brown (Contrast) Highlights: Silver Details: Gunmetal Bosco Primer: Gunmetal Armor: Moon Yellow Wash: Brown Wash Highlights: Silver ⏱️ Timestamps : 00:00 – Intro & what went wrong 00:14 – Driller basecoat: Moon Yellow + Cooper Brown shading 07:30 – Painting Bosco: gunmetal to moon yellow 09:47 – Showcase: spin and details 💬 Message: Mistakes are part of the journey.
