The Grim Dark

I've dipped my toes in Grim Dark waters, trying to learn and explore what lies behind behind the "grim dark" process. What is the Grim Dark? And what does it mean when it comes to painting miniatures? This video focuses on my thought process... but I tests some "slap on some grim dark" effects as well. For those of you that are new to this channel.. welcome! And please, if you are after straight forward A - Z tutorial of how to paint stuff... well.. I'm all over the place. That said, there is one or two painting tips in here, if you have the patients.
