Cloth, Skin & Gore: Leveling Up Your Grimdark Heroes  

Take your character painting beyond the basics in this immersive workshop with Dan Ozbörne. Learn how to elevate your character models through realistic cloth, lifelike skin tones, and visceral gore effects by combining foundational techniques with advanced effects. Students will explore how to combine stippling, blending, and Villainy Ink enamel washes to build depth, texture, and atmosphere quickly. Designed for painters of all levels, this class focuses on creating high-contrast, narrative-driven heroes suitable for Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, and beyond.

Dan has taught classes around the world, including at Adepticon and Las Vegas Open. He specializes in weathering techniques and awesome robots. We couldn't be more excited to host him at Guardian!

No advanced painting experience required. All paints and models provided. Students need only bring or purchase brushes.
