I imagine that you have to eventually build some sort of tunnel under your house that opens up into a smallish cave room filled with these builds. They are way past tabletop games... You're building a whole other world!
Haha indeed. No tunnels planned yet bit storage is definitely a consideration. Luckily I have a decent loft space in my house so I store projects there when not in use. I give them away as gifts and sell some too. This is very much a side hobby for me so I am not trying to make money out of it really. Just do it for the love of sharing my creative endeavours. I would still be painting and building without youtube so why not share. Maybe people can learn something from my many many mistakes haha. Thanks for watching
Your videos are fantastic. From the quality of the work, to the quality of the videography to the soothing, informative narration. Just fantastic all around. You are definitely doing exactly what you should be doing.
Mike, that means so much. I am, and always will be creative. Sharing that creativity with the world and seeing the effect it has on others, often inspiring their own creativity, is the reason why I do it all. Thanks again and more videos coming soon
I love your free and easy way of creating things. I was in a 3D class and my instructor would tell us, “sometimes your project takes on a life of its own. It’s ok to just let it become whatever it wants.” You remind me of him. The title of your channel is brilliant in that regard. Wonderful work! So open-minded. I look forward to more. I may even start making g some things myself and showing them on my channel. You’ve inspired me. ❤️❤️❤️
Great stuff! I studied painting myself and whilst I became very proficient, where I found the most joy and interest was the unknown. The sense of discovery. I have since embraced this as an important factor in my work. It allows a freedom and lets me be less self critical. Thank you for watching
The thing I love about your pieces is that they are so natural and mellow looking. There's so much detail and they are amazing, but they honestly look like they belong in the natural world. Everything I do is very glittery and colorful and I like that too, but my pieces will never feel like they belong in the world like yours do. :D
Thank you for you wonderful words. That is the wonderful thing about creativity - there is no right or wrong. Whether it be something natural or bright and colourful - the main thing is to create. To add to the rainbow of the world. And if you can can share with others than all the better. 🌈🌝
REALLY SPLENDID. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. I AM JUST STARTING TO BUILD MINIATURES AND FOUND YOUR METHODS VERY INFORMATIVE AND BEAUTIFUL END RESULT
I'm really happy you found my video useful. I know it can all seem a little overwhelming at the start but it really is a very fun hobby. Good luck to you and I'm always happy to answer any questions. 👍
Haha its all one big journey. The best way to learn is to just build. It's amazing how much you learn from your mistakes. Of which there will be many. Try not to get disheartened and I'm always happy to help of you get stuck
Suggestion, placing your tiny bricks in a tin with some rocks and shaking it will give them rocky texture, also you can use a foil ball and push in the foam to give a rocky texture on things that art premade or to large for the tin
My wife and I are looking to start making dioramas for a creative outlet, seeing your process has really helped me understand the methods and I'm excited to start. Thanks!
Your very welcome. I know it can all be a bit daunting at first, many processes and materials etc, but I have found, as with many things, sometimes it is best to jump right in and just try. I have a video on my channel which I made as a result of many requests about how to get started and what materials one might need which you may find useful. Equally I am always happy to help if you have any questions. Thanks for watching and good luck with it all!!
EPIC, this is how I make my Fairy Houses!! Bits here Bits there, Turns Out Very Well! GREAT Imagination!! Love this one too, SAVED IT TO MY FAVS!! Love to see more like this one!! Thanks for sharing your inspirations!
Would have been a perfect endgame boss arena in Skyrim! The water falls came out very realistics. That material you used seems to let you express the water flow pretty smoothly. You're a water bender man haha. NIce piece!!
Cheers man, yeah im pretty happy with how the water turned out. In the future I might change a couple of small things but I see a lot of videos where the water looks terrible and I don't believe it at all. All a learning curve bit thanks for taking the time to watch 👍
@@creativecuts7803 Yeah that is a true work of art Sir. I’m just finishing my first one using some details from you and others. I have a lot to learn but you professionals out there give me motivation. Plus your channel has great volume, content, you are calm and clear plus you explain things very well. Thank you!
@@klj5150 That's really kind of you to say Ken. I really mean that. And I am no pro haha just a little further down the rabbit hole. I am really curious about what you have been working on but the main bit of advice I can ever give, is put your all into it but know that the next build will be better. A bit of a contradiction but such is life sometimes haha
Again, I am in AWE... So amazingly done just beautiful and for someone that says it's your first time trying things like this, I have seen a few of your videos, and this one YOU are amazing... Just the ideas.. is tremendous and wow... I wanted to make a mystical castle and you just showed me another way to make waterfalls, at a low cost, and thank you for this video and for sharing your ideas and imagination that is '' MAGICAL''..!!!
Cheers dude I'm glad your enjoying the videos. I really enjoy watching other people problem solve creatively so I am happy to return the favour. Thanks for watching
I just love your videos.. the way u start the build .. the step by step narrative.. but I equally enjoy the background music and your soothing voice !! Pls continue to do more 🙏
Again thanks, I really enjoy working freely but accept that sometimes you need to adjust the idea due to lack of planning haha. But it is as much a sense of discovery as it is for the viewers and that is an element that I really enjoy. Thanks for watching
I just came across your channel and fell in love with your work. You are extremely talented. I love watching the making of dioramas and yours are so beautiful. I have subscribed and gave you a HUGE thumbs up.
Thank you Sandy for such a glowing comment. I do it out of a love for building things and try to make videos that I would like to watch while building/painting. I am constantly learning and always trying to improve. Thanks again for watching
99.99% of GREAT GREAT JOB. But… i didn’t understand why the light under the portal you left like a house simple lamp! Was a mistake? Can you cover with a magical energie sphere made with a hot glue? Please complete this fantastic diorama and show me!!!!! Hello from Sicily!
Artis natura magistra. Nature is arts master. Great what you did with the treetrunk material. The mist-effect at the end creates a fairy atmosphere. Were are they?
bruh you are sooo underrated, 5K wiev on this when luke towan build simple river and get 2M. Olso you know what. I think i would be more epic if this first circle platform will be also underwater but this is just my opinion... ah yes and some ancient sculpture of forgotten race will be also nice.
Thank you Sharks!! To even be compared to Luke T humbles me greatly. I pretty much do it for the fun of building and the love of creating things. Appreciate the kind words and feedback. More to come 👍👍
@@creativecuts7803 i only watched like 7-8 diorama creating channels and by far you are only one using natural wood as a part of creation. Your work is full of imagination and i hope one day to create something i can show to you too
These proyects are amazing! They remind me the atmosphere of the anime Made in Abyss, you may watch it for some inspiration (and it's a great and enjoyable piece of fiction too). Beautiful work man, congrats!
No not really. I just leave it in my studio for about a month. Let any creepy crawlies find a new home. Never really had any problems with rot or mould etc
That looks like a nice foam. I know there’s diff types, extruded and etc.. I’m looking for a source to get cause nothing where I’m at but pink house foam. Can you direct me to where or type foam this is? This was a very creative piece. Really like this a lot.
Thanks man. Where in the world are you? I'm in the UK and get mine from a company called bluefoamuk. It comes in various thicknesses and I guess what you would call a more premium modelling material. Not cheap but worth it in my opinion.
Pink house foam will probably be ok. A lot of North American channels use the pink stuff. There are sought differences between different manufacturers, but for the most part they're all the same.
Thanks John, very kind of you to say. I build these for the love of it. Because I am a curious person. I never really thought about doing commissions but if someone is serious then it is something I would consider.
@@johnhohman7847 yeah sure I have an Instagram @creativecutsbuilds you can reach me on there on send me an email directly if easier creativecuts83@gmail.com
@@creativecuts7803 I asked once I think already but if you have a messenger or Instagram account please let me know because I have an idea it’s nothing major just some scattered rain but I’d like to give you details please let me know
Hey dude, thanks for watching. In terms of materials - nature provides a lot of it, for foam etc i use a company called bluefoamuk. Actual modelling materials like foliage etc i get online from modelscenerysupplies or 4d modelworkshop or hobbies.co.uk. other things I get from Amazon or my local pound land. At first glance it is pretty expensive but because I often won't use a whole packet on one project I have slowly built up a good selection of materials. And of course your local DIY place is really useful to look. Hope that helps a little but if you need something more specific let me know and I will of course try to help
You need to create a barrier between the foam and the solvent from the spray paint. You can do this with a couple of good coats of pva or using a sealer like mod podge. I have found some brands contain more solvent than others so can still bite into the foam a little but much less than if untreated. Also keep a good distance and do two light coat rather than blasting loads of paint right next to the foam. Hope that helps a little. Give me a shout if you get stuck
I'm sorry man I wouldn't know. I go with my backpack when I go for walks and just pick up anything cool. Fallen trees with exposed roots are a great way to get a years supply in one hit. Hope that helps a bit
@IRTehDar no worries. Like I said I like to get out in nature and collect anything that looks cool really and just end up with a whole range of sizes. Some cheap gardening g tools help too. Of course you look like a right weirdo collecting roots but I stopped caring about that kind of thing a long time ago haha
