Death Stranding is a game about being a postman in a post apocalyptic world. A post-apocalyptic postie, if you will. While I'm not wholely convinced of the gameplay, I can't deny that it is one of the most visually stunning games I've played in a long time, and the spooky tarry apparitions (Oh, Kojima) make for a great monster. The first time I ran into them, they gave me all the spooks. So I thought I should try making a desktop dioroma! It measures 125mm in diameter, and the bodies are roughly to a 15mm scale.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a delightful game about finding a bluetooth earpiece and hunting robot dinosaurs. I didn't realize how badly I needed robo-dinosaurs in my life until I played me some HZD. Check it out and see how easy it is to make one for yourself! No 3D printer needed!
I love me a good floating island. Give me a fantasy setting and put some floating islands and you've got me hook, line, and sinker. So I done made myself one with a little waterfall trickery.
Ghost of Tsushima is a stunningly beautiful game and the swan song for the PS4. Man, what a way to go out. This is my tribute to a beautiful game and a wonderful samurai duel!
Frank Herbert's Dune is a masterpiece of world building and story telling, and with a new movie on the horizon, I thought what better time to make my own Shai Hulud! This is my largest build yet and is entirely made from scratch! Let me know what you think and what else you'd like to see!
Hearthstone is a brilliantly frustrating game with incredible art. I think I might enjoy playing the game less than admiring the artwork, so I decided to make a Hearthstone table, complete with a full hardwood table, packs of cards, equipment for adventuring, and a wee snack.
Ragnaros is my favourite card in Hearthstone, hands down. He's got great art, his entrance audio is the best, and he's a prime candidate for the most clenching you can achieve in a game. So who better to bring to life than the Firelord himself?
I have adored Avatar since the first episode I watched. It's clever, fun, funny, and a great romp. Oh, it's also got a dope magical world and incredible animation. What better to make then, then a diorama of our boy Aand doing his thing?
I love the idea of big animals carrying entire worlds on their backs. You can probably blame Terry Pratchett for that, but I think even before I was aware our world was being carried on the backs of elephants riding a space turtle, I loved the idea; however, there don't seem to be that many examples of it floating around (no pun intended) the internet, so I thought I might as well make my own!
Let's make an imperial star destroyer from scratch! Built out of nothing but plasticard, glue, and a little filler, you can make your own awesome star wars diorama easily! This was a really fun and quick build and it didn't use much more than plasticard, rocks from my garden, a little plaster, and some resin for the water.
I figured if this is my first ever book nook, then I may as well pick some of the best books you can nook: the Stormlight Archives. Learn to make your own Words of Radiance inspired Book Nook and sculpt your own tiny, adorable, horrifying chasm fiend!
In this build I show you how to sculpt the world serpent form God of War. Jormungandr is a huge serpect that circles the entirety of Midgard, and he plays a very important role in 2018's God of War. Oh, and to really give him a sense of scale, I also made an itty-bitty, teenie-weenie Kratos and Atreus!
As long as anyone can remember, the Falling Blossoms Shinto Shrine has always been there. Who tends to it? Who keeps it from falling apart? Surely they don't just scale the cliff wall during low tide!
Eventually everyone makes a Lord of the Rings Book Nook, so here's my version inspired by The Hobbit, complete with a custom sculpted Smaug and Bilbo!
We're back with another book nook, only this time it's The Wall from Game of Thrones, complete with a fully functioning gate! There's a million and one Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings book nooks, but there don't seem to be any from a Song of Ice and Fire, so I aim to fix that!
"They call him Baba Yaga, and he is the one you sent to kill the **** boogeyman!" John Wick is one of the greatest action films of the last decade, and maybe ever (in my humble opinion). So I couldn't think of a better way to show my appreciation than to make a scratch built diorama from my favourite scene in the entire movie.
This is my homage to Godzilla: King of Monsters. It was meant to be a (scratch build) diorama, but by using ridiculously bright lights, it became a sweet desk lamp. It was also a great opportunity to make resin free water, for those who don't want to worry about pours, cures, and bubbles!
Learn how to make your own Breezehome for your bookshelf! This is my Skyrim inspired book nook, taken straight out of Whiterun! Completely scratch built using nothing more than things you can find lying around the internet!
This is my Wookiee Tree (AKA Wroshyr Tree) from Star Wars--the Wroshyr are massive trees that grow on Kashyyyk and are where you'll find a wookie city. This one is made almost entirely from toilet paper and clay. I don't know if that's canon or not, but I'd like to think that there's a semblance of truth to it.
I've wanted to use mirrors to make an infinity box for a while, and I figured what would make for a better setting than the Great Hall from the Mines of Moria (aka Dwarrowdelf)? It's the smallest book nook I've made, with the fewest 'components', but I think it might be the best one yet, if I don't say so myself (and I do).
Check out how I sculpted Skyrim's Alduin, the World Eater! What better way to close out 2020 than to sculpt a big ol' fire breathing dragon?
I've been wanting to make a Sea Monster for a while now, but I've been binging The Mandalorian Season 2 pretty hard as well, so it made sense to put the two togther, so this is my take on "that scene". You know, the one where Baby Yoda gets EATEN.
If I could develop selective amnesia, I would choose to forget that I ever played Breath of the Wild, so that I could experience it all over again. I can't, so instead I made this diorama as a tribute to that glorious game, and it's glorious guardians. The characters are sculpted entirely out of clay, and the laser beam is made using cosplay wiring (no soldering necessary)!
Star Wars was released 43 (!) years ago and has spawned some of the coolest fanart of all time, but in my mind, the best of it all is Jake Parker's "The Tie Fighter". Maybe it's because it combines the dope futuristic samurai aesthetic with mechwarrior tie fighters, or what, but I knew this was the project to try turning a 2D drawing into 3D art if there ever was one. So grab a coffee, pop in A New Hope, and get stuck into an overly long polymer clay tutorial full of disjointed rambling.
We're back with another book nook! I couldn't think of what scene I wanted to create, but my partner gave me the perfect idea for a Mount Doom, Frodo tossing the ring into the fires of Mordor, setting! Of course, you've got Sam doing his best "DO IT, MR. FRODO" and Gollum just being a creep on the fringes.
Hey, remember that scene in Star Wars where Gandalf faces off against the Rancor (Balrog?) on the Bridge of Khazad-dum in the Mines of Moria? And it's his lightsaber against the fearsome lightwhip of the beast? Well this is my attempt to recreate that epic scene in my first, of hopefully many, Star Wars/Lord of the Rings mashups.
In honour of Breath of the Wild 2 not being announced today, may I present you with a teeny tiny Temple of Time? The latest in what will surely be a long playlist of Zelda Crafts, this tiny temple will look dashing on any bookshelf. Yes, you read that write, this isn't just a diorama, this bad boy is a full blown booknook!
My first foray into the world of Anime was Attack on Titan (or Shingeki No Kyojin if you want), and people have been asking me to do some sort of anime-related sculpture, so I decided what better scene to do than the best scene in the entire show--Captain Levi vs The Beast Titan!
Stardew Valley just turned 5 years old, and I figured it was high time I made a proper tribute to that gem of a game, so I made the Farmhouse into a real life building. Uh... like a really tiny version of a real building, but it works! It's actually 28mm in scale so it'll work perfectly for a tabletop game of DND.
I've been on a bit of a Zelda Craft Binge lately and I thought it was time to make the house from Link's Awakening. Oh, l also made a teeny tiny, uber adorable Link for good measure, because what Legend of Zelda inspired diorama would be complete without the Hero, himself?
Time for another book nook! And time for another Lord of the Rings build! And time to add Frodo and Sam and a big spooky spider (aka Shelob)! And yes, by the end of this you'll wonder, "why would anyone put this on their shelf?" That's how you know it works!
Today we dive into the delightful world of Studio Ghibli, and finally make a My Neighbor Totoro diorama! Sure, we could go with any number of scenes for a diorama, but only the Bus Stop scene lets us make *REAL RAIN. So whether you're camp "J-hibli" or camp "G-hibli", hop on into the absolute fever dream that is My Neighbour Totoro!
Pokémon turns 25 years old this year and I figured what better way to show my appreciation than to make a Pokéball!? Oh, and of course it's going to open and have a miniature Pikachu chillaxin' on a beach! Let the celebrations commence!
I wanted to make an island. So I made Outset Island from The Wind Waker! There isn't a Legend of Zelda game that doesn't make me happy, and The Wind Waker was no exception.
Let's make a tiny Bag End! Take some grass, some shrubs, a bit of wood, and you've got yourself next level Lord of the Rings DIY!
Do you want your very own Tunnel to Hollow Earth? Well good news! Now you can with this handy Godzilla vs Kong Diorama!
May the Fourth be with you! Just in time for the celebration, I made a custom R2D2 sculpture tackling his greatest foe yet: a set of stairs. You guys said you wanted an R2D2 that was true to his llittle legless self, so I've done and gone and given the people what they wanted. But tune in next week for the exciting conclusion to this saga and see what the rest of you wanted!
Ever wonder what R2D2 would look like if he was a Gunpla? Well now you know. I made R2D2 into a fully mechanized, fully limbed, imperial smashing robo-badass.
I wanted to make something different this week, so I made a spooky sea monster and an unfortunate fisherman. It's a divergence from my usual tiny nerdy things, so let me know what you think in the comments! Do you like a little bit of originality? Or should this internet monkey stick to remaking other people's art?
Today I turned the best chocolate bar of all time into the spookiest wizard prison of all time.
I think it's high time I made another Zelda diorama, and I think it's even higher time I made a Breath of the Wild themed one. And what monster better personifies the Breath of the Wild than the Lynel? And of course, Link's gotta be there too, for obvious reasons.
This time I take on my biggest Legend of Zelda monster yet: a molduga! Of course, I've made a dozen polymer clay Link's, but this time I went with the sassiest armor set in Breath of the Wild: the Gerudo Outfit. And there's a little Sheika bomb for good measure, obviously.
Hey! It's time to dip back into the world of Attack on Titan, and this time we're making the Armored Titan and a couple teeny-tiny heroines: Mikasa and Hange (honestly, who doesn't love Hange?).
The trailer for Botw 2 came out at E3 and EXCUSE ME IS THAT A BUNCH OF BOKOBLIN RIDING A TALUS? It sure is, and I wanted one of my own, so I made it using foam, clay, stir sticks, and toothpicks.
I'M POLYMER CLAY PICKLE RICK. Or, at least, I made a Pickle Rick. And you can too! You could even make him out of an actual pickle, if you're that way inclined.
Whelp, I caved. I made a zombie. But at least it's a zombie T-REX.
I've been putting this off for as long as I could, but today's the day to make the Skyloft from Skyward Sword.
E'erbody been askin' me to make a Hinox, so I did. But to celebrate passing that 100k subscriber milestone, **I'm GIVING IT AWAY! Watch till the end for details (or skip to it, BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?).**
I saw the trailer for Suicide Squad 2, and I saw King Shark in all his dad-bod glory. So, naturally, I had to make my very own tiny Nanaue.
I keep getting asked, "where do you get those wooden things to hold your things"? Well, here you go! I like to make fun things, not boring wooden handle things, so this is how I make cheap, cheerful, and quick handles that will last a lifetime. These are the sorts of family heirlooms that will be treasured for years to come!
I'm on a super hero binge. Super villain? Or Anti-hero? I dunno, but today I made a comic book version of Venom. Let me know what you think and if you like it what other comic book characters do you think would be cool?
What better way to light up a room than with a creeper explosion? Well, I made a minecraft creeper into a lamp, and now you can too!
It's time to make everyone's favourite firey, flying, danger noodle! Sure, you're spoiled for choice of dragon's from the Breath of the Wild, but why wouldn't you choose Dinraal?
It's high time I made a model of David Beckham--er, I mean a Witcher. The new movie came out on Netflix, and I thought, "who better to make, then the old man himself?" Except... he's both old and not old?
It's collab time! I was asked by the ineffable @Boylei if I wanted to join him and some friends and make a Star Wars themed robot. Obviously, I said, "uh... very much yes".
I keep seeing people turning their minecraft worlds in 3d renders and it's awesome, so I wondered, 'what would it look like if I made a Minecraft world out of clay?'
It's finally time to make Calamity Ganon. This means that I've sculpted him before I fought him... what a world we live in.
What's scarier that a big, spotted jaguar shark? One that GLOWS IN THE DARK.
More Pokemon! And this time we're bringing a Bulbasaur card to life!
You guys (kinda) asked for it, so here it is! μ2 in the polymer clay flesh! Poketober is coming to an end, what do you want to see next? Let me know down below!
It's the spookiest time of the year, and it's the end of Pokétober, so I figured I'd combine the two and bring you Spokétober: Gotta Spook 'Em All!
I got tired of waiting for Rockstar to give us Undead Nightmare 2, so I turned Arthur Morgan into a Zombie. I'm not even sorry.
I'm not even sorry. Okay, I'm a little sorry, but I'm Canadian so I'm sorry about everything.
I wanted to help out a little indie developer promote their game, so I made Jinx from Arcane: League of Legends.
I don't know. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
What's a realistic King Koopa look like? Well... sit back and find out!
Is this what Luigi would like like in real life? I hope not...
Merry Christmas, I guess? I dunno, I'm sorry.
What do you do if you have dirt, rocks, resin, and perfect little ice cube trays? You make a little world, obviously.
Monster Hunter Rise is available on PC RIGHT NOW.
Give the people what they want, amiright? I mean... you guys wanted this, right?
I made awesome wall art into an oversized paperweight.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? What's that? You don't actually want to know anymore?
Ok. It's a terrible lamp, but it's an awesome sculpture.
I wanted to make something horrifying this week, so I settled on the Kirby Car, AKA, KARBY.
It's like the Avengers, but with vending machines and pylons. MOUTHFULS, ASSEMBLE!
Hiya Folks, today I'm making a Tiny SPOOKY Thing. Almost as spooky as pouring a gallon of resin on top of your loving sculpted octo-skull.
What this video for tips on how to farm runes and GIT GUD. Or, you know, cause you want to make an adorable plant pot with arms.
What's better than a multi-armed sorcerer supreme? The undead version, of course!
Okay fine, it's a pretty loose interpretation, but when it's this awesome, does it matter?
April Fool's day! There's no joke here, it just happens to be April Fool's day... Anyways, here's a horrifying gritty reimagining of Winnie the Pooh. I dunno.
In the blue corner: a hedgehog. In the red corner: an echidna. Prepare for one of the greatest battles in the history of manimals. WE'LL SELL YOU THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE.
This feels like the next logical step for 2022. I also feel like I covered the "tiny" and "wormy dealie" quota for the year in this one as well.
IT'S POKEMON TIME. And why make one Pokémon when you can make two?
It's the evolution line BUT WITH A TWIST. Like, a wave-y twist. Just watch till the end.
May the 4th be with you! Uh... a couple days ago. Whoops. As a consolation prize have this... thing. Sorry.
It's time to make another dragon. AND IT'S TOTALLY A DRAGON DON'T TRY AND TELL ME OTHERWISE. The other guys too, I guess.
You asked for it and here it is. Three garlicky toads living their best lives.
I made the best beetle themed, needle wielding knight I know of.
Everything is not awesome.
It's a snake that wants to shake your hand. A hand-snake, if you will.
Is this what the peak physical form looks like?
I love me a floating island. Hopefully, you'll love this floating island too!
Is "I'm Sorry" going to become its own category of scuptures? If it is... then I'm sorry, I guess?
This is what happens when a dinosaur wants to cosplay as a dragon.
I made some spooky fruit 'cause why wouldn't I?
Monsters Inc but spooky.
He's a monster after all, and cookies know to fear him.
That's a fact. You can look it up. But don't bother, cause you know I'm right.
Infinity mirror? It's pronounced MEER-R.
Equal parts adorable and spooky?
An adorable, murderous, satanic cult with followers that want you to make them bowls of poop to eat? Where do I sign?
A Kursedby, if you will. But if you won't, that's fair too. And probably advised. Anyways, here's wonderwall.
It's a tornado full of sharks and also an RGB music visualizer. It's incredible, trust me. Or don't. I mean, you can just watch the video and make up your own mind, I guess.
I turned the Tears of the Kingdom box art into a clay sculpture.
Just in time for the spookiest season, amiright?
What if Pikachu was actually a real animal? He'd definitely just be a gerbil, right?
I made a purple, fancy tattooed nope rope.
Spheal, I'm sorry.
What do you get when a crocodile evolves into an alligator?
Happy Hallow-Chrisma-We'en, everybody, enjoy a glow in the dark Oogie Boogie on me.
Probably. I haven't really looked into it enough to properly make that claim, but if there's one thing the internet is good for, it's making outlandish claims based on little or no evidence.
And they're "kinda" realistic? Is that a thing? Can something be "kind of" realistic? Also, what can possible go wrong?
Is Thicc Thor the best Thor? You be the judge. Also, yes.
Ohana means family and weliweli means terrible. Or, at least, that's what it told me when I google translated it.
AKA The most Cursed Thomas the Tank Engine, AKA Toot Toot Thomas, AKA "WHY DOES THIS EXIST!?".
A ziglin? Zompig? Pigzee? I dunno, but I made a little strider too and it's heckin' cute.
Hoo Hoooo Hooouuuuungry for BRAAAAAINS.
It's supposed to be a christmas tree topper but I don't have a tree so I guess it'll just sit on a shelf and watch you. So much watching.
It's Knifey! The red sentient murder unicorn from High on Life! He's... uh... well he's a knife with a face, I guess.
It's Kenny! Everyone's favourite, fast talking sentient gun that poops goopy murder globs instead of bullets from High on Life!
We were all thinking it, I just made it a reality.
Or, I guess, a "clicker" for those who don't like fun nicknames.
Maybe eating all those mushrooms was a bad idea?
Have you ever wondered where all those teeth go? Well now you know.
And he's beautiful. He has a healthy, natural glow.
It was bound to happen eventually.
Seriously though, what's the deal with Weepinbell?
Happy Mario Day everyone.
It's a-me! A murder tortoise!
Greatest battle of our generation? I guess that depends on what generation you fall into.
Hoppy Easter, I guess?
If all sharks are dinosaurs, are all dinosaurs sharks?
Please don't sue me.
May the 4th be with you. In all it's little green glory.
Is it buh-koblin? Or bo-ko-blin?
Look who's back. Terry's back. Back again. In a tub.
And he's fluffy and adorable in all the right ways. Would probably give great big... BEAR hugs.
This video contains zero microtransactions.
He might not have a face, but he's got a real purty mouth.
It seemed like a good idea at first, but I have many regrets now. 5 regrets, to be precise.
I bet you wouldn't even be able to tell him apart from a real minifig!
It-s-a-me! Elepha-Mario!
Okay, some regrets. They say art shoud make you ask questions. Sometimes that question is "why?".
I'm assembling a team. They're kinda hairy, and kindy sticky. But they've got great personalities.
I love you, you hate me!
Is it possible to make the Teletubbies more creepy? I dunno, but come with me on this voyage to find out! Teedlee-dee!
Rubber ducky, you're the one!
What's nerdier than dragons? And what's tinier than like... really tiny stuff? And what's more thing than... this thing?
I got hooked and dug deep into this Bean Meme Mine. No ragrets.
It's the Eye of Cthuhlu! Did I have to google how to spell that every time? Maybe. Maybe not. Only my search history knows.
Are you ready for Hardmode?
He's okay in there, right?
They'll choose you (by virtue of being the only one left)!
Are they real, totally authentic, original cards? You'll have to watch to find out!
Are they hands or wings? Why can't they be both?
And they terrible--just like they're supposed to!
OR THE EMPEROR! I forgot to mention Henry Cavill's name a bunch of times to push the SEO, so if you're reading this, leave me a bunch of comments down below talking about Henry Cavill so we can get Google to promote this video more.
It's a brain with teeth. And a heart. And an eyeball. Obviously.
It's a spikey worm with eyeballs. This feels like the natural progression of this channel.
What's a wendigo but a deerclops with two eyes, amiright?
This sculpture was heavily inspired by this incredible work of art: https://www.flickr.com/photos/johannd...
Go get a TERRY PLUSH TODAY
You've seen the wings, now behold the rings.
So, a Shagon, I guess? Or a Drark? Happy shark week!
It keeps looking at me and screaming--anyone else experience this with their bonsai?
