Please next time show the whole bookshelf as one of the glamour shots. Maybe it is feasible to have your camera for the glamour shots 'stand' on a table/shelf, and you slide it left and right? That way you might be able to get a more steady shot? Not sure, but worth a try.
its amazing how much your style has changed in just a year since this video, im kinda curious now and may go back to check out your older stuff. thats cool right? i kinda feel like im asking to go through your bookmarks.
These videos really confirm my theory that EVERY child needs a dollhouse! My son had one when he was little and it was such a wonderful way to express his imagination. Is this not just the Big Boy’s version of that!?! It’s absolutely glorious. Your attention to detail makes for such a rich environment. Thanks for sharing.
The level of dedication or insanity that leads a person to make miniature hanging frost mirriam is just beyond the pale. Or the Pale. All the way to Bruma fabulous.
This was a "couldn't sleep" find and what a treasure!! I personally can't understand having a gap big enough in a book case for a book nook... mine are packed 2 deep and all directions...bookalanches are common. But I need to buy another bookcase and make my skyrim fan hubby one of these... your work and commentary was fantastic. Totally subscribed!
Same! My room has 1 wall side to side floor to ceiling & another wall side to side but middle to ceiling built-in bookshelves(part of why I bought the house) Absolutely no room for a nook😥Definitely gonna have to purge soon. Definitely Adam's work & commentary are on point!👍
Macaroni and stir-sticks. The bane of first-world crafting. Lol. Probably the only time I miss soviet Russia. If you wanted wood, you’d go collect it in the forest, in winter, all alone, in the dark… lol
I don't even play Skyrim, but I think this is an epic booknook! I love that you reshaped the roof to fit the bedroom shape. I think all your hard work paid off; it looks amazing!
For some reason my subtitles were showing up in German, so from now on I'm calling Breezehome "Brisenhaus". I loved this. Brisenhaus is where I go in my mind when I can't fall asleep. I LOVE seeing it brought to life like this. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us!
“You gotta start somewhere” 14:49 That really meant a lot to me, like deeply. I’m trying to start making these sort of projects (currently working on your calcifer diorama for a friend for Christmas!) and something about the way you turned the slight joke of “hmm maybe I make trash pieces” to “that’s ok it’s better to try than not to and then learn” encouraged me immensely. Tysm.
I for one, very much appreciated that you did this without one of those Hotwire cutters or any other fancy tools (love your little t-square spirit level ruler gadget tho!). Awesome build. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I like the idea of making things that someone else can recreate themselves without having to spend a fortune on tools. That being said, maaan, sometimes I would kill to have a hotwire cutter or a 3d printer!
7:08 min "I'll start with a light grey on the tiles, and then come through with a drybrush to *highlight* it with varying degrees of *darker* shades." This made me chuckle. This looks awesome, great job.
Thank you for doing this awesome job on everyone's first home in Skyrim!!! I laughed along as you cried and I realized I'd never have the patience of a saint to try to make this nook. I love looking at yours and admire your inner strength to make all those beautiful little items. Glory to you!!! 💖💖
That is just straight-up fantastic! What a beautiful idea. I’ve never thought of putting things between my books or that a book nook is even a thing, but I love it. I can’t make things like that, because I have no patience, but I definitely like the idea behind it. Kudos to you. Also: you have a fantastic taste in books and some of those I have myself!
Cheers! Book nooks are something I've only recently started 'making' but I've been a big fan for a while. I love those big, full wall bookshelves, and having tiny scenes and worlds between the books is a fun little surprise!
I’m blown away, this is freaking awesome! Well worth the coffee stir stick overload, painty fingers and frustration with all the repetition. Oh man single shingle laying 😝 worth it though looks great!
I believe it was Frank Reynolds who said, "Artist must suffer for the art, that's why it's called *pain*-ting". Something, something stir stick related.
I have been watching about 3 hours of your videos. You are insanely talented!! I would love to see you tackle: - Shadow of the Colossus - Tomb Raider in a temple - Avatar - Bioshock
I've just started playing Skyrim again after a few years (I have to admit Todd got me with the anniversary update). I think this is my favourite builds you've ever done and might well have been the first video of yours I saw. I think I've watched and re-watched this video about 4 times now xD but as soon as I started playing again that I wanted to come back and watch the majesty that is this build. this video and your channel as a whole have really inspired me to venture into the terrain sections of my local hobby shops. I even ended up making a little miniature/diorama for one of my uni projects xD (I can only blame my lecturer, he was joking about me making a miniature set...I was not. xD I really hope you make more Skyrim builds in the future, though I understand if this was enough Skyrim building (and stir sticks) for one lifetime xD
Absolutely love your work! Found your channel through your hobbit Book nook. As I am looking for inspirations for book nooks, your works are absolutely perfect. Thanks so much for your tutorials/Workthroughs! your commenting is absolutely amazing and helps a lot :)
Thanks! I'm glad they're helpful for you, and there's lots more to come. People seem to really dig the book nooks, so I'll probably start focusing on them a lot in the near future.
Mate... i think you're completely wrong... if your fingers ends up painted it means that you have had fun doing your diorama hahaha. What a precious work you achieved on here! Congrats!! Thanks for sharing
Outstanding job, beautiful, I don't really know what I find exciting the most: the booknook, or the fact that after spending several minutes on the comment section, I didn't find not one, single, stupid "arrow to the knee" line. Amazing!
This is wonderful,so detailed and looks so beautiful lit up .I think it’s one of the nicest book nooks I have seen .It never ceases to amaze me how talented and creative people are and to do everything in such tiny scale is definitely a true labour of love ..Absolutely mesmerising to watch and enjoyed your banter 🥰
Oh my god, your narration is hilarious 😂 love your sense of humor. I make miniatures with polymer clay and am so inspired by you to get started on my dream dollhouse. I never know what theme I want but now, my fave Skyrim home might be a consideration. Thank you!
I will start on one of your videos while working, and let youtube just play in the background. I kid you not, it will always play this video. I have watched it at least once a day for the last few months.
It took me over an hour with internet issues to watch this whole thing (I had to restart things multiple times) by the time I was mostly finished I was going to give you grief about the trip hazard floors, and then: BANG!!! "It's a book nook dummy"! Really nice Job! Looks great!
I hade to load up an old save because for all the time I spent in Breezehome because I couldn't remember a bookshelf in the bedroom. Nope, it's not there. But it should be. I'm really loving this.
Noice. I'm currently replaying Skyrim with the 10 years worth of updates and new crap. Breeze home was where I mostly keep my family. Always have. It feels cozy.
Great build as usual, seen you have some Terry Pratchett books, maybe you can do a build from Discworld, maybe unseen university, mended drum, granny Weatherwaxs cottage.
I relate sooo much to all the little fiddly bits of painting when making maquettes. And yeah, I always make sure I paint walls before gluing them together -otherwise... argh! Fantastic work you do, your sculpting is incredible. LOVE these videos!!! TY for sharing. ☺
Dude you are genuinely funny and I loved the hell out of all the side comments and text onscreen now and then. (I.e. rustic*) Totally stoked I came across this video as I tried to navigate my insomnia. I love love love Skyrim and you killed it! Sooo cool.
That looks pretty close to what Bree's house looks like. I used to watch my Son's videos while he played Skyrim. It's a awesome game. You did a great job.
This is absolutely amazing! The attention to detail is what truly brings this to life. I actually love that you made everything by hand and would have totally watched an hour long video to see you make all the furniture and such. Great job! This is inspiring.
one of my favorite things about these videos is that you dont use a lot of fancy tools, and it feels tangible for someone starting out to watch your videos and get a good idea for what they can try to do. Not that I would blame anyone for using 3d printers or expensive tools, its just nice to see such a down to earth craftsman, who's honest about the process and doesnt mislead with video editing out hiccups along the way. that being said even if you get fancy tools it wont make your videos any less fascinating and entertaining to watch
I love the way you cut tiny notches out of the wooden pillars to fit around the irregular shapes of the stone façade you put on at the end. You didn't even mention it in your voice over, but I see you tiny details. I see you.
You are astute! I would say a non-zero amount of my sculpting time in every build is based around "oh... I probably shouldn't have done that, but I guess I can just do this instead, now".
Hey there, just found your channel and this is a great video. I really enjoyed watching you craft everything from little bits of wood and scraps of this and that and then seeing how you paint it and bring it all to life. I absolutely love how it turned out, it's very charming and you're very talented. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
