Building UNDERWATER RUINS for Dungeons & Dragons

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

HUGE THANKS *ARCHVILLAIN GAMES* FOR SPONSORING THIS VIDEO! *PATREON* : bit.ly/AVBMC *PHYSICAL MODELS* :bit.ly/BMCOG

[@jam2944]

Archvillain is awesome really, i bought my 3d printer specifically to print their models, they also have AWESOME loyalty program for crazy models! Got the ice queen model this month I need to set some time to print it!

[@psychedelikchameleon]

Underwater ruins are so exciting!

[@codywhite3098]

I love how your projects reflect what the sponsors theme is, high key hoping archvillan sponsors you next month because im stoked for their march release

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@codywhite3098 lol, I’ve got good news for you!

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Love it Jeremy! They say Atlantis is rising...

[@HimeBlackOnyx]

Putting the ruins on an angle was brilliant.

[@CreamAle]

Reminds me of the "Best" box stores. They used to have some amazing building art.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Some sort of Ocean Temple dedicated to a Sea God would make for a good addition to this set. You could have it so those Shark People are guardian warrior priests of the temple.

[@turnipslop3822]

Oh yeah, and if it was separatable it could also act like a shark God for Idols of Torment

[@Bluecho4]

My "all-underwater" DnD campaign idea is sounding more and more appealing, when I see things like this. Good job!

[@keykey10101]

I love how this turned out it really does look like it’s sinking in the sand ! Also so cool you can order the models now !!

[@jam2944]

These aquarium plants gives this project the extra "OOMPH" factor!

[@Evil_Misfit_]

I'm always on the hunt for those in the clearance sections

[@TerrainTronics]

Excellent work as always Jeremy. The tilt of the building into the sand was inspirational. I was thinking that if the building was flat, it’d look a little Roman, but as soon as it was tilted, it changed everything. It would be interesting to consider how one could light this terrain to show the sun shining through the water above. Rippling blues and turquoise from a led strip might be interesting. Sebastian over at Atmoseeker uses DJ lights - there’s a specific “ripple” light that he’s used that looks interesting.

[@evanlindsey1100]

This would work for an underwater army for a fantasy wargame. This looked like a very quick but excellent build.

[@benweinberg3819]

I remember some of the older 40k chaos codices had similar, half-buried ruins using their plastic kits. Great to have a cheaper alternative to reference!

[@josray2557]

That's great and def looks like something under the waters of Eternia. Strange angles and forced perspective are your f'n super power as a maker.

[@periorvonwindt3879]

I always enjoy how tenacious you are when facing a problem. You're not stymied for long, and come up with a solution. Your creativity and passion make your videos a joy to watch and listen to, and always inspire me to make stuff and create things. Thank you for making the videos that you do and being such a bright light of inspiration! Love from Finland!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@bihexualwitch546]

I love seeing your growth as an artist but also in your security in your craft. You seem way more relaxed and I love it. Huge thanks for all the tools and tricks so far and much love ❤️

[@geekfreak69]

Incredible miniature, beautiful diorama underwater scenery.

[@CheshireCad]

Even though this was only posted a minute ago, I made sure to watch the entire video before commenting. I really liked that part where you built the thing out of the stuff and then made it look pretty.

[@thejesusaurus6573]

I concurr

[@rickythompson8800]

Love how you matched both sides with brickwork , and then cut a huge slice through it all to make it all look subsided. I've been following your chanell for 3 years now and honestly you works are beautiful please keep going love your work

[@MonkeyJedi99]

This looks like a great fantasy adventure setting. Encountering sahaguin off the coast of fantasy-Alexandria. Working with merfolk to unearth the elemental stone of Poseiden. Or even descending in the depths in your steampunk submersible to find the lost city of Atlantis and recover the tablets of Zoth-Ommog before the cultists get their hands on such forbidden knowledge!

[@danielkrause8464]

What a great idea. Please make this a a whole series. There is much more lurking in the depths, they say!

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

This is such a beautiful piece, and it's really nice to see you experimenting with new materials like the dirty down, that has always been one of my favourite parts of your channel from way back in the spooky intro days :) Seriously though. Bring back that intro music. It's gold. 😂

[@grampawerewolf9832]

Thanks Jeremy, nice to see a little splash of colour these grey days! (Do i have to wait an hour after eating b4 swimming? Zat still a thing??) Cheers!

[@hyosworld109]

That's just Big Cramp propaganda!

[@grampawerewolf9832]

"I Was a Teenage Werewolf" - The Cramps

[@grantbrewer2399]

I love the colors on the ruins! Excellent work

[@fernandoneder1850]

Ruins like this will look perfect with the Ell Hydra from Artisans Guild. Time to get busy and to print the Hydra.

[@yourgoodliness]

This was great. I love the application of inks to get depth of color, as well as the explanation of shortcuts you used (structure cutting in a stack without a jig).

[@douggillespie747]

Awesome, always wanted to run in and underwater setting and something along these lines would make for a great final battle area. Beautiful work.

[@huskluise2335]

that looks awesome! love watching your work. thanks for all the helpful tips and beautiful art pieces to see.

[@raulpinheiro937]

It's really so good to see you this happy and excited about a project! 😊😊

[@uriance88]

You can always tell when Jeremy is having fun on a build. The plants and shells - the "set dressing" if you will - is what really gives the pieces the final push to being immersive terrain. That part is probably the hardest part - knowing when enough 'bits' are enough (and Jeremy is totally a master at that). As an aside, with upgrades to hobby space underway, wondering what the dimensions of that airbrush spray booth are.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I don’t remember offhand, but there is a build video and I think it shows the dimensions.

[@uriance88]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I didn't remember that from the build video, but I'll go back and check, thanks

[@robertevans3173]

I have been playing with almost exclusively inks the last few months. I am with you BMC.

[@nathanielsizemore3946]

Great creation! I loved the reference to one of my son's favorite cartoons, Street Sharks.

[@turnipslop3822]

I was hoping you might add that underwater ripple effect that light has on sand but I think that would be pretty hard. If you do more in this series though, I'd be keen to see you tackle it!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

If only I had that kind of skill!

[@zippy5131]

I realy enjoy watching you make all this, I work in 6mm and 15mm, from Ancients, Dark Ages, Napoleonics and WW2 to SCIFI a real mix but you realy have some great ideas. Nice one.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

SO many great tips on details and materials again! I really have to get down to buying them rolls soon. Such a useful tool for making great looking walls.

[@michaels8940]

This is fantastic. The build is great but I have to say with the utmost respect and sincerity...I LOVE THE MUSIC!

[@velrockartminiatures]

This is the kind of video that makes me antsy during the week, waiting to play D&D on the weekends! It looks so good!

[@joshuaweinbergdelsolhs8321]

You're so talented. I really enjoy watching your technique videos. I am working on a Gettysburg battlefield diorama and your work is very inspiring.

[@RauMins]

God DAYMN the tiny shells and weeds really brought that piece to a whole new level! What was that stuff you used as seaweed? The ones that you dipped in some watered down pva and draped it over the structure, looks SO useful! I guess one thing I might have fiddled with myself on these would have been the statue, I feel like it could have used to more grout or wear and tear. Really awesome project and I just love how it all POPS so well, keep them coming ♥

[@BooshojoSenshi]

This build is so cool!! Love the colors and details. Amazing work.

[@Zenith12321]

I’d love to see some shipwreck ruins done in this theme. What pirate run in doesn’t have sunken ship ruins? Maybe a dragon turtle took up residence and there’s a massive hole in the side

[@TwoHorndUnicorn]

This is perfect, I wanted to do a sea based campaign, and I think some underwater terrain will really make it come together

[@crossleyrob]

Even after all these years still coming up with new and amazing ideas!

[@dawnemami3089]

Oooo awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I was thinking 🤔… I don’t know if it would be feasible.. but maybe add resin inside the arches, like they are windows to the ocean…. Maybe adding small fish 🐠 and plants 🌱 … bubbles… Oceanus things lol

[@pow8333]

the seaweed and algae look so good here !

[@wesleyrussell8386]

one of my favorite vids of yours in a while! I'd like to see you do more weird environments!

[@SmokeytheBeer]

Wow, way to bring the fire with video production quality. That terrain looks sick!

[@the.Ivory.canvas]

Love the tabletop time reboot sounding music at the start.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

?

[@trikerflash]

This would make a great piece for an aquarium, as long as it's completely sealed, and weighted to keep it from floating.

[@daviddunn4538]

Great vid. Now I know how to build a stone arch viaduct for my model railway. Your techniques are transferable for any subject. Thanks.

[@PannkakaMedSylt]

Really Creative idea!! Makes me wanna do a whole table with this idea for Warhammer AOS, with Idoneth Deepkin inmind! :D

[@nordicson2835]

Very , very cool... this summer , at a garage sale my daughter found a huge treasure trove of , Skulls and Shacles figures , rules , we later bought at another garage sale a ton of aquarium. " terrain " , dirt cheap as the guy in front of us bought the tank for a snake , but didn't want the other "crap"... DM Scotty had a good post on a zombie shark ... did that , now with this... l think it is time to drag thier party , ( when they are back from college), under the waves. Very cool , hope all the craziness we hear from north of the border isn't effecting you.

[@seraphoncobus]

Looks amazing! Love it. Reminds me of the underwater zone in WoW

[@seangowden948]

Blown away dude! Watching this while slicing some Sharktamers to print today....and now I have to bust out the foam and stuff because I can't just paint a couple minis; they need a whole diorama. Excellent work across the board.

[@MJcreated8]

Dancing Jeremy at the end is pure vibes

[@GrayScalpMiniatures]

Great video as always! Loved all the random aquarium bits!

[@MrMartynwelbourn]

Another great build! I'm glad to see your back feels much better!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Me too!

[@rvaughan74]

Glad to see you're up and about again. Having a sore back sucks.

[@insomniacg]

Just FYI - the ink might be bleeding because the binder has been watered down by whatever you used to help it flow through the airbrush, the problem comes up with paints too, and it being a relatively thin coat really doesn't help. Plus, most decent pinky shades are quinacridone pigments which tend to stain and have a very strong tinting strength so it makes the problem even more obvious. Glaze mediums can really help, and make sure you give your inks a proper mix before using them to avoid separation And the ruins look real pretty too, I especially enjoy the King Shark statue

[@jennylawson1980]

Really love this idea. So reminds me of the lost city of Atlantis… totally a neat concept and one that you can keep growing on…

[@ThatRobHuman]

regarding Jade: Mix 3 parts white resin and 1 part translucent green resin (play with that ratio some to get jades of different depth / milkiness). You can then go over with (without primer) with a green wash and it comes out great.

[@carrie4910]

Street sharks! Used to love that show….and The Biker Mice from Mars Daaaaang this is a freaking awesome build 😍

[@ronkrueger-capt_koron6112]

Outstanding build Jeremy. I loved it.

[@makeshiftminis9090]

The whole thing looks fantastic. It's unfortunate underwater campaigns don't pop up all that often, there's some great tools and settings to use.

[@chachachazki]

Love the whole concept, so creative! All the colours and the whole idea just made me so happy on an otherwise rather crappy day. Thanks so much for your magic!

[@sventheultimate]

Great build as always! I love the music.

[@Wispmage]

What an awesome concept and impressive execution. Love to see unique builds like this. Keep up the great work!

[@MiniQuest64]

Great Video! Those ruins look fantastic.

[@davidwomack4285]

This is one of the best looking things you have ever done! Great work!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks!

[@tommymclaughlin-artist]

This scratched an itch I didn't know I had this morning.

[@frankanderson9833]

Impressive! I've never run an underwater adventure though.

[@MorganScott82]

As an independent seller of 3d prints I'd add to Jeremy's comments that if you see a model you want going over to Etsy and giving a search will usually yield some results. Sadly not archvillian as they've gone another way, but many sculptors license some of us to sell their prints.

[@jimmyrepine8952]

Arch villain does have a merchant tier.

[@zeddoverkill]

This is an absolutely awesome build!

[@euansmith3699]

So this ruin dates from between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas; when there was an age undreamed of? This is a neat set of watery ruins.

[@cdeg1964]

This is very cool. Just an aside, sand can come in any color, including purple. You can google Big Sur, California or Pfeiffer Beach more specifically.

[@timberry4709]

Looks perfect for "Deep Wars! 👍👍

[@BJKasowski]

for You, as a GM, I think You can do more than one underwater adventure of D&D. try get heroes under spell to fall a realistic, underwater dream. Or set them on trip to find Atlantis-kind treasure. Or more advanced: some part of Atlantis start falling in to the sea, set team to find a way to save rest of the island/city... BTW: another geat pice of work!!

[@StackingLimit]

Thanks for the links to those shells. That is a goldmine for builders.

[@johneberts2918]

looks really good great effects

[@sarahlongshore2605]

This is too awesome for words!!!! I love this!!!!

[@lindagroskopf3749]

Love it! Great inspiration - Thank you for sharing.

[@bernardbernadette7569]

i love the song u used while building the arches !

[@lunalove438]

i was thinking of something that might be a fun challenge. blind bag build, get someone to fil a small bag or box with random stuff, and see what you can build from it. let it be a surprise for you as well. give yourself like a day max to build it so you can't take too long to think about it as well.

[@slate613]

Those mini's are phenomenal! But they're from Archvillian Games so it kinda goes without saying. Awesome job!

[@voronOsphere]

Great project/tutorial!!! Thanks!

[@xJadeWolfxx]

I love this! It will be a while before I go back to my Idoneth, but I've been looking for better, more manageable and less "golden demon" types of terrain and basing to do for them.

[@paulsavas2394]

Beautiful! Obviously, players are gonna want to get in and around those arches, for cover, and because it’s there. How do you deal with mini risers for swimming, especially where the stand is on uneven surface?

[@hardrightx]

Awesome work of art!

[@jaxusmc1142]

Another AWESOME build!!!!!

[@Dylan-er9ji]

Always inspiring videos. Great stuff that I'm 100% gonna employ in my nautical campaign I'm running

[@burnsbarrow]

It’s was an amazing video Jeremy. Really enjoyed that

[@Jangcrow]

Great build, would look great as terrain for a Age of Sigmar Idoneth Deepkin battle!

[@katmom49]

Very cool! Although I was worried about your back when you were using the rollers! My back is twitchy today…

[@bluedragonlord]

Looks amazing!!!

[@JEANPIXBN]

You’re awesome dude, thanks for all the great content!!!

[@chadhanson4825]

You must be stalking me. Currently Scuba diving in Cozumel, I come back to shore, and I check my phone to see the title "Underwater Ruins". Creepy.

[@primafacie5029]

Great build

Reminds me of playing through Vashj'ir in World of Warcraft, good times :)

[@jaredwatterson6119]

Great video! How's the Death Guard and plague city treating you?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

looks good sitting on the shelf lol

[@woodendforager3240]

thats awesome. I was thinking as i was watching maybe spraying white ink as a zenithal first, then spray the coloured inks on? to help the brickwork stand out a bit more? I don't know tho.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That’s exactly what I did in the video 😂

[@woodendforager3240]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial oh ok sorry was pretty ripped must have zoned out for that part. It looks very cool.😁

[@FlawSmith]

Cool build. You found the downside of using inks though. It takes like a full day for it to cure fully, adding a wash or anything that will cause it to rehydrate and turn to mudd.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Which is resolved in 20 minutes with a clear coat :) Or use oil washes on top as they wont reactivate acrylic inks.

[@thomasohanlon1060]

One day would love to see what approach you would use to make a chess set, board and pieces. If you don't play, the board has 32 Black squares and 32 White squares. The pieces are a total of 32 or 16 per side Pawns; 8 x 2 King; 1 x 2 Queen; 1 x 2 Bishop; 2 x2 Knight; 2 x 2 Rook; 2 x 2

[@billysmith337]

Very clever 👏 great video!

[@basedViking]

keep up the great videos man! watching you play around with inks though an air brush has inspired me to order my first air brush kit.
