[@JoseAlvarezV]

Hey love your channel since forever, big Fan!, Your builds are incredible!

[@crippledgodfoundry]

Thank you Jeremy for this opportunity! We find the concept beyond awesome and we really had fun sculpting these Lost Souls! Looking forward on what comes next in the "IDOLS of TORMENT" Kickstarter!

[@abtmo0069]

Dude you have been such a huge help in getting me back into not just minis but art in general. I found your channels a few months ago and it's been the biggest help I've found in years. I'm so hyped to see how Idles goes for you. Congrats

[@soulwrite5963]

The minis give me the same vibes as the greek sculptor Lysippos and the baroque painters Artemisa and Carvaggio.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@soulwrite5963 mission accomplished 😍

[@emptyWilliams]

The minis look fantastic, very Dante's Inferno feel to them. They look like a Dore drawing brought to life!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Dore is the main inspiration so I’ll take it as a win!

[@lindybeige]

Nice minis! I like that the game does not require vast numbers of figures. Eight playing pieces a side can be enough.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

And you don’t get to choose what those 8 pieces are. No min/maxing, no net list building, no power gaming. We really wanted a chess like element to p gameplay.

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

I did not expect to see ypu here but you are a wargamer after all!

[@jsizzlesaurusrex]

Lindy out here branching out! When do we get to see some battle reports?

[@markfergerson2145]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Apropos of the chess-like element; I love that you decided to go with a generic nonhuman skin tone. It reminds me of the generic gray everyone became at one point in LeGuin's "Lathe of Heaven". I'm assuming the game's lore develops from the generic Judaeo-Christian mythos what with Heaven and Hell. Well, in that mythos the dead are "reborn" into incorruptible bodies that presumably are not flesh so the skin tone is perfect. Still, I get your desire to have some color. You say that each idol a player gets is aligned with a unique order. Could their garment have a color associated with that order? In chess a piece's shape tells you about its powers/skills/limitations at a glance but the minis have shapes (postures) that apparently don't have a direct association with an order (unless I missed something), so you could make sets of minis, each posture with a garment of one of the eight colors to choose for your "squad". Just a thought.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@markfergerson2145 the lost minis are completely unrelated to any orders or the players minis. They are part of the setting 🙂

[@kallisto9166]

I love the way you're really pushing the boundaries of what you can do, creating a new game, making your own mini's and so on, yet there's still room on the table for those old ruined walls from way back in the channel's history. Just goes to show how useful and adaptable simple crafts can be. Best of luck with the project!

[@XArctracerX]

I love this idea from a story telling perspective it’s so rich and leaves the stories wide open for players to play the game and create a narrative with in the game, it’s excellent

[@DaleTrevors]

I got actual goosebumps. This whole creation with minis and terrain and soundtrack is already such an experience even in this short presentation! And of course the final choice of color palet for Idols looks perfect.

[@euansmith3699]

Those minis look amazing; a bit like Kingdom Death: Monster, but without the sexualization. Cool, Mannerist little sculptures. That grim and grey paint job is really atmospheric.

[@nekrataali]

Also people should look up "Mannerism" if they don't know what it is. One of my favorite art movements of all time. It's when artists started to experiment with colors and body proportions, rather than art movements of the Renaissance that focus on realistic and natural proportions/colors. One cool thing about Mannerism is for a long time, historians weren't sure who the first person to experiment in colors that would create the movement. Then in the 1980s, the Sistine Chapel got itself a really good scrubbing and it turned out to look nothing like we thought. Turns out, Mannerists were the successors of Michelangelo. With the Sistine Chapel able to show its true colors, we were able to uncover what started Mannerism.

[@euansmith3699]

@@nekrataali I love the big hands and feet and elongated bodies and heads on Mannerist Sculpture, and the weird, nonsensical Mannerist architecture is very cool too.

[@Guajaqlxd]

I think the art and story just hooked me up. I loved it

[@Viperz357]

I’m making my own board game so I would understand how you are intimidated by your minis. I will get this game when it comes out. Keep up your good work.

[@KnarbMakes]

Cool stuff Jeremy! Can't wait to see more on this game.

[@JaysDiecastCreations]

Hey Jeremy, I've been following this channel on my personal account for about two years now. I've learned a ton and applied many of your techniques to my builds. To see your vision evolve into making this game has been awesome. Very cool idea and I love that you can use any minis to play this game. Keep pushing through my friend. It seems you have found a new lease on joy in the hobby 😎👊

[@psychedelikchameleon]

Love this and I'm so pleased for you, I started watching your channel last year and quickly made my way from the very start to catch up. What a progression. Fantastic work and I can't wait to see what you do next! The aesthetic and atmosphere speak to me on a desolate and deep rooted way, I feel like this place is lodged in our DNA like folklore.

[@jackhubbard4461]

A fellow crafter recently transferred to digital gaming so no longer had use for his projects he made, i was gifted all of them and there all inspired by you or your builds exactly. Im so grateful for you and this community.

[@Knight-chaplainashriel]

Brother, YOU are the Terrain Grand Master! So much inspiration. THANK YOU!!

[@KanazawaKowboy]

Black Magic Craft was the first channel I ever saw that inspired me to get into miniatures and miniature terrain. Now all these years later the channel is way bigger than ever and this new game is going to be so exciting to play. Great job mate, these videos helped save me from a dark future and I’m so happy to return the favour when the kickstarter drops

[@ianjhobbies]

Minis look great. And liking the lore. The mechanics sound quite simple but complex at the same time. Hopefully a great balance.

[@chriscordeiro1052]

I’ve never kickstarted a product I will absolutely be kickstarting this one Can’t wait!

[@notronsivart]

BMC 4 years ago: I don't really paint minis BMC today: I MADE MY OWN MINIS MOFOS!

[@grantmorrison6464]

I love the minis, when I first saw them I got a very Pompeii vibe. As if they were the people frozen in time by the volcano destined to spend eternity wandering the afterlife.

[@andygorman858]

Oh man, this is looking soooo awesome! Absolutely love the Crippled God Foundry minis they designed for you…..very dramatic and convey exactly what I think purgatory (I guess that’s what this table sort of represents?), would be like before passing either to heaven or hell. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, I know what it’s like seeing something you do go into print (I’ve illustrated a couple of rule books and gaming magazines and to see your final work in print, that you can hold is something so surreal it’s hard to put into words). Can’t wait for ore updates and vids!

[@Arkhandras]

Dude this is amazing, can't wait to play! So happy for you and so excited to see you offer your brainchild to the community! Congratulations are in order!!

[@iansharp1543]

I've been looking for models that fit that type for a hot minute! I wrote a homebrew module for Mork Borg where the characters start off as unarmed prisoners wearing only rags (gonna format and publish it when I get time), and I had a heck of a time finding good minis that could represent the PCs when running it for my group. Still excited to check out IoT, but I can already think of a bunch of other uses for those minis as well!

[@SirAyme]

This is very cool, plus it being both really dark, fantasy and miniature agnostic really gets my creativity itching.

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

You mentionned wanting to have them made in plastic eventually, the process for this would be really really interesting to document if you're going to do it, more people need to know about this process.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

It’s already in the works. It’s happening. The process is simple really: find a company to do it and give them LOTS of money 🤣

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I know there are some limitations to the what the scuplts can be but and translated into moulds for plastic injection and I was more thinking about that side too, what work has to go into the modeling, the constraints and everything! I think it would give some perspective on how these things are done to the community! But congratulations on getting this done, if you make em plastic I'm grabbing a set for sure!

[@nekrataali]

I would also love to see the full process of development! From prototype/master sculpt to how they're cast and finally put onto plastic sprues.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@nekrataali while I’d love to film that, the physical models will be manufactured Poland and it’s doubtful I’d go to visit the factory 😄

[@nekrataali]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Awwwwwe ☹

[@SpoopyPants]

I can not wait to have these minis in my hands! Not only did you nail the amazing aesthetic of your own world and have given your own minis a fitting appearance, but I think you have hit that sweet spot some Minis miss by making them really non-specific in their base appearance, so that even someone who would not be playing the game could use them for any kind of townsfolk or prisoners, or even zombies if you paint them up green! I am really, really loving this and can not wait to grab them with everything else :) This is perhaps only the first of many steps for you. I have started watching your videos as I got into terrain crafting and can't wait to make something for this amazing world you created ;D !

[@Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle]

As a (video) game reviewer, I can say that this has a lot of potential thanks to the unique story, I can see this potentially becoming another Souls-like game.

[@martinouellet3540]

Wow! Amazing work! It's gorgeous. Wishing you all the success you deserve with this project.

[@dkbibi]

You know what, since these are essentially objective markers, I think the initial flashy paint of yellow and blue was actually pretty good as they would have made them stand out from the terrain pieces!

[@Nosferatuklown]

Looks cool man - congratz! Working with Cippled God Foundry is a great choice for your artistic style; them and Archvillian would make great models for you - I hope there's an STL version to back! **Thinking about making a frozen ruins scene for this; "Between the Gates of Heaven and the Pits of Hell; the Echo is the remanents of the Great Collision - where The Lost are enterally hunted by the dark frozen Idols of the Old Ancient Gods"**

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

We are going to make a digital version of game and minis available for sure!

[@Nosferatuklown]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Awesome man thanks! I'll be happy to throw all my money at it.

[@JP_Idols_of_Torment]

Thanks CRIPPLED GOD FOUNDRY!!! You captured their image perfectly.

Be fearless! Try things without hesitation - you can always either repaint or print new minis and paint differently.

Everything is looking fantastic!

[@samhoban2509]

Very excited for you and your partner to make this a reality. I can on,y imagine how cool that must feel. Even as a kid I always wanted to make the great things in my head that I couldn’t find out in the world. What a feeling!

[@CabbyHat]

The minis are extremely cool, but I have to admit my attention was mostly caught by the diagram of the different factions - really intrigued and excited to learn more of what that's all about!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

We are confident that it is really cool and unique! It’s the most important aspect of the game development 😁

[@gutterkrawl153]

Heaven and Hell in a direct conflict for souls in a wasteland created by their eternal war? How can someone NOT be into this? Beautiful job and congratulations!

[@dovarioscotia-churlishmini7246]

Those minis also look awesome as alternatives to the Kingdom Death starting survivors 🤩

[@jeffreykershner440]

You've come a long way. I remember when it was the use of xps foam to make dungeon tiles only. You've really accomplished a lot in a few years. I appreciate your contribution to the crafting and more community. I hope you are proud.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

[@CronosVids]

Amazing to see the work you have accomplished so far. This is a kickstarter campaign that I’ll glady support and share around.

[@DanteFierce]

Been watching since early 2018, you helped me a lot during a divorce and you helped me find a love for crafting and even DND! Can not wait for the kickstarter so excited!

[@curtissmith4024]

This is exciting for a hobbyist like myself. I love this kind of activity more than TV or drinking. We have a couple 3D printers in the lab for anyone to use for personal or business. I love airbrushing also. It's easy to make endless copies once you have the design. With the current video motion tracking and object recognition methods, simulations of the character's interactions in any scenario can be played with predicted outcome for every action (one pixel centriol algorithm on an AMD/XILINX chipset). This could allow designers to explore even more character/group abilities and engage in tournaments.

[@Bluecho4]

God, these models look fantastic. These are the faces of anguish. What makes them better is they can have a number of different uses. As objective markers. Mixed into hordes of ghosts. Used as slaves or prisoners take by other factions. Stuck on some larger monster's base, or a few on their own base as Unit Filler for a band of infantry/cavalry.

Very cool, may be something for the kickstarter, but perhaps we could have some "offical" mini's from CGF too for each "god", or even terrain that could be printable (optional for gameplay but be hella cool to have a full offical box) Very very excited to see where the project goes
