[@benweinberg3819]

Former Smashbash finalist here: the little aesthetic choices you made at the end (clipping the horns, adding the parchment/bandages) really adds to the overall aesthetic and the finished model looks solid. Best of luck Jeremy!

[@millenniumf1138]

Wow, what a wicked outcome! Throughout the video, I kept thinking, "Okay, this is cool!" And then you made an addition to it and it kept getting cooler and cooler! The final result really turned out something special, and I absolutely love every bit of it. I hope you win!

[@captaincomet26]

It’s great to see the confidence and enthusiasm beaming from you out of this video. Can’t wait for all those teased projects coming up that were shown in the video. Keep up the awesome work! I think we’re coming into another golden era for the channel :D

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

🙏

[@duanebradway1627]

That mini is fantastic. I love what you did. Good luck. 🎉

[@VairaSmythe]

The change to the parchment was CLUTCH! Love the choices for this bash :)

[@neriummothra]

My fear was to put my videos / craft out on youtube for people to see and mostly people would hate my crafts and that stopped me so many times but now, I throw that fear aside and started putting it out there. I am glad that I did it now. Always loved your work and I hope one day I can bring joy for what I bring to my crafts like you have.

[@negotiableaffections]

Hi Jeremy - why are you SO stoked about this project? Well, I've watched you for years and you are a most most, most accomplished terrain builder dude. But, watching this video has shown me one thing, you have a deep seated ability for mash-up modelling. I think that your hyper mood is evidence of how true this is. Ok; from slapchop to Squidmar there are many painting techniques and we've heard you self-deprecate about painting minis before - but you have a great oil-wash technique that is almost a style [like Bill making Stuff's Crustard tech]. I'm glad you rectified that banner it was a superb save. More chop-shop mini builds please - we can see the twinkle in your eye!

[@negotiableaffections]

god luck at Smash Bash Jeremy!

[@markgnepper5636]

I love all Black Magic Craft videos👏👍🤙

[@zeddoverkill]

Was really cool seeing you do a kitbash, and following the thought process. Sick little dude, looks pretty wicked!

[@RoseKindred]

Nice to see going to a con gave you a creative burst. Sometimes those little distractions are just what you need.

[@steampunk8036]

Right on, Jeremy! This was a bad ass kit bash! -Rick, USMC

[@oaknwichlanedesigns]

Im so glad you did this. I am a needle felter and make mice with human characteristics. For the longest time, I have been wanting to do the main character's in A Christmas Carol. I had been hesitant since they would have to be sold as a set. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to just do it. It's been a ton of fun, even the costumes which can get pretty intense at times. Sometimes we just have to go and do it and Im glad you did. I think your kit bashing was creative and turned out great. I hope you win but if you don't in a way you already did!

[@russrandall4834]

Yea! Someone else remembers Ral Parrha minis!

[@billdefranza4927]

Who could forget?!

[@whittaker007]

Remember for sure, but they were so derpy compared to GW minis. There were some cool ones though.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

I remember when all the minis we had access to were made with normal lead, just like wargaming minis had been for centuries. We painted them to avoid having the lead oxide rub off and get onto (into!?) our hands.

[@russrandall4834]

My dad bought a mould from an Irish company at a game Convention to cast minis. Walked a lot of miles that summer picking up lead wheel weights to melt down for figures.

[@whittaker007]

@@russrandall4834 that sounds cool! I only played around with casting using plaster and liquid latex as a kid, but a friend’s uncle (re?)cast collectible statues but I never got to ask him about them.

[@roberthanna4882]

Cool looking little dude you made. Good luck in the smashbash.

[@livanbard]

I never seen a model converted by mainly rotatory bits. That was pretty cool to watch. The end result is pretty cool and have some energy to him. I would not be surprised to see him festured into some metal album cover.

[@tosteson1]

Incredible silhouette. Gas mask was the right choice.

[@MikeSmith-ul7fd]

I've been following you for a while and this is the first time I've felt the need to comment. That mini is absolutely the coolest! Job well done! Congrats on getting over that fear and doubt and doing the uncomfortable.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@peasupplyco]

Fantastic dude. That looked really fun!

[@christophershoemaker7189]

I absolutely love that you had tried something new. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone this past year and joined a hobby competition. It was a 4 x 4, terrain competition. And after entering, come to find out, you were one of the judges. Which your work had been my inspiration the whole time.

[@theshizzen3988]

Very cool. It looks like a worthy boss to fight in a dungeon 👍

[@werewolf74]

I enjoyed seeing you pull out multiple tricks that I have seen you test, innovate, experiment with or develop over the years all in one small project. From ink washes you fell in love with to the green stuff molding and dremel carving and even the pen and paper with CV glue trick (would not have been surprised if UV resin got used, at all) . Even a touch of your Isles of torment and Killteam? color scheme and methods came in here, heck you even used the roller on the base.

[@pez5767]

Music this episode was dope. Thank you. Also, really inspiring to see you embrace a creative wish-list item. Certainly fighting my own desire/hesitations to do so.

[@wittlegoblin]

It looks great!! I'm really happy you've been focusing on things that make you happy, Adepticon is so good for the creative soul.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Feeling a little liberated 🥰

[@Kiesmander]

Man, all the music you used in this video is BANGING! Especially loved the painting montage song.

[@heiker1351]

This looks great. The axe is so badass. The more you work on things, the better they get, this mini improved with every change you made. I like it a lot.

[@ironlungfish1574]

That paper effect plasticard work was awesome! Super inspiring. It was awesome to meet you at Adepticon and check out Idols of Torment!

[@SSStylishCombo]

pretty interesting to see what it was turn into what it became. well done man, and good luck!

[@iain.sm.c]

This video has lots of Miscast vibes, in only the best ways (especially in the time-lapse/montage scenes). I also just love the direction you took him in, you have a great eye for kitbashing.

[@robertmartin2968]

nice job and really appreciate seeing the awesome things you make, thanks

[@opshlds]

Jeremy! Too awesome seeing you jumping in on some contests! Love your vids, as the content is always inspiring. Thank you!

[@atelier_AG]

A worthy entry. I look forward in competing in this Battle Royal, may the best person win.

[@MrDrakeSirlit]

Near the end when you said you could continuously work on it you reminded me of the quote, "Art is never finished, only abandoned". Looks fantastic dude!

[@crsn87]

Great Video and a very great message, hope i get one day the strength for a project like yours

[@Dan_Does]

This turned out great, Jeremy

[@tronboi69]

Well... that's another Kickstarter i've backed because of you!

[@capnskustomworks]

That is an excellent kitbash, it looks so sick!

[@cerethpainting6606]

Nice classic board game collection!

[@karencrawford9227]

That is awesome!! I hope you win!

[@blackguardunlimeted]

love the kitbash and all your videos ! keep it up !

[@JC-gv6sq]

It looks great, hope to see more weird creations on the channel.

[@totally_not_panicking]

Such delicate kitbashing, I'm impressed! Love to see more things in SMASHBASH, and yours will be a glorious combatant in the Battle Royale. Everyone in the comments should consider entering too!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks for putting it on AND for bugging me to submit something!

[@Blandco]

I really like the flagstone base! I know the miniature is amazing but I just really like the little touches with neat textured bases. I like miniatures like this that have tattered fancy clothes. At one point there was probably some sort of deep purpose behind his actions. But now he is so mutated that you really can't tell if there is any meaning behind the vestiges or if he is just a monster with an axe mindlessly still wearing the symbols.

[@CorwinsTabletop]

This came out so cool and congrats on trying! Always the hardest part.

[@barbaraleaweaver-mercado1820]

I've watched you for years and this latest vreationis GREAT .![

[@chaoshead87]

Great music throughout the video, I don't know if this is your normal music but if it is I never noticed it before. The mini turned out great but more importantly is your enthusiasm for it.

[@Mtonazzi]

At first I thought "I'd put the horn end of the tail pointing the other way arount to do curve-counter curve"... but once it was finished I think you did the right call! I love how when the eyes go down the axe ad into the tail, that "tail tip" guides the eyes back into the mini's main body.

[@Kataki1987]

It looks like you had a lot of fun here!

[@Milan.1789]

I enjoy this "talking while doing" so much more than the voice over videos. Makes me feel like I'm sitting right there next to you at the table. More please! :D

[@gregwing7355]

This looks like something I'd fight in darksouls, looks awesome

[@terrencemiltner1005]

I was thinking the tail blades made a nice balance for the ax, but cutting them off was the right call. The third blade in the middle was a cool touch as well. Planning to enter the Resin Beast next year too. COViD a few weeks before the con led me to not enter this year.

[@pow8333]

man, i've really missed seeing stuff from you! this reminds me of when you started the idols of torment kitbash videos. i've been a huge fan for years, its amazing to see the things you create, and its inspiring as an amateur builder

[@obadijahparks]

These kind of things are often scarier to start than to actually make. Well done!

[@tacotots_132]

Model looks sick!!! Also stoked for the “tape and mini”!!

[@EposVox]

Sick

[@TheKayeBlue]

This Mini looks sooooo cool. Thanks for sharing with us your hobby.

[@vonslagle]

Outstanding

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

That was some really impressive work with the Dremmel when it came to cutting down the original model. Flashbacks to trying to kitbash as a kid in the 90's with my exacto knife and solid pewter models. Wish I could have managed half as well as you did, and the final model came out great!

[@PeachyPixel28]

outtro was a real feel good. thanks

[@dinonut80]

Black Magic Craft Miniatures! You tease! Lol. *Starts saving money

[@cerisekappes580]

One heck of a scratch bash!!!! Love the results 😊😊😊

[@Whuntah]

That mini is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@whittaker007]

Definitely a true original kitbash, well done! I wince every time I see that spinning sawblade near your fingers - but I also have the same reaction every time I use one myself!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Meh, it’s one that doesn’t cut flesh when you touch it.

[@whittaker007]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial oh that's super cool! Better than mine then, mine's literally a circular saw attachment on a cheap Chinese dremel.

[@jackrobson7172]

Really great message about just going for it. Very inspiring

[@dranuwir]

I use Bestarium for my Shadow of the demonlord game! Really fits the vibe of it!

[@Nosferatuklown]

Really cool outcome, has a weird mixed vibe of a mutant from Necromunda and Hestur the King in Yellow

[@holmsey555]

Looks amazing and nice to find a canadian content creator

[@Mr_SprooTown]

Agreed!! BESTIARUM ROCKS. As far as painting symbols and sigils, have you tried out or used acrylic paint pens? I find I get great results with them and they're fast and easy to use. 👍👍

[@jackrackham4137]

Love the final look!

[@krzysiekbazyl6702]

The mini really reminds me of Trench Crusade 😃

[@tragonius]

"sometimes less is more" *stares approvingly at his cyberpunk worm-mutant metal album cover son under a guitar lick*

[@MiniAxeCrafts]

Bestiarum's models are incredible month after month. I'm a big fan of their "man eaters" (ogres) in particular

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

So good!

[@whittaker007]

Beastarium is cool, though I reckon Lord of the Print does the best realistic monsters.

[@frankanderson9833]

Honestly at first I thought... naw, not going to work. Well, you proved me wrong. And later I thought... that's not going to look good. ( At least to me. ) But again I was wrong.... Great job!

[@kingkreaghan]

Congratulations!

[@ChristianDoiron]

That music at 10:34 though, more of that Jeremy!

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

I’m not sure if I’m missing the notifications about your videos, or if KZbin is only notifying me of some of them. I’m only getting notified or suggested every 3rd or 4th video. I went ahead and watched the other 2 before I watched this one.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I get the feeling it’s doing that to most of my subscribers 😭 I appreciate you checking out the missed ones!

[@virrcraft]

oh dear... BESTIARUM'S campaign is so great... again you forcing me to spend money on good things xD thank you, it's really cool grimdark models! can't wait to print them

[@myzri3557]

Very nice

[@SaintSolo]

i love this channel

[@mostlyghostey]

I am so glad you redid the symbol work. It just did not fit your character well. Adding the script was a much better decision!

[@SlytherinReviews]

I am trying to build a PSP 3000 just missing the d-pad membrane so that I can use it along with a smaller screwdriver to get the screws into the holes to close up the console

[@djinn9504]

one thing i take away from this that I think is super important for new hobbyists like myself. You adding a feature, than 5 steps later removing that. Changing on the fly and letting creativity flow instead of being super focused. Simple to think of, hard to implement.

[@FamBoren]

That is really nice! I feel like I'm five years behind you in skill level.... but... I'll get there... eventually :)

[@NotOnLand]

4:54 I was about to be really upset you carved up the unique model from Jazza's art box, but I found he still sells the digital file on its own

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Should never be upset about carving up models.

What kind of dystopian future this Homer Simpson comes from?

[@billdefranza4927]

What's this music? Its excellent!

[@fatheroftrinity8963]

man, this turned out way better than expected when you'd first picked the pieces you wanted to use. But i think we all need to acknowledge that this would have been a million times better with more time spent on painting. The tummy/chest area is weirdly flat in tone, and all the area around the mask/back of head is confusingly messy. the washes put on throughout really brought everything together, but the Warhammer style character painting would have made this a top contender in any competition. great choice with the loin cloth, too.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thing is…I’m not a great painter. Also it’s for a very gritty contest that is the opposite of “warhammer style painting” so I’m feeling alright with the style 😄

[@fatheroftrinity8963]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial got me there. so with that said, does that mean we get to look forward to some in-depth painting videos? i've seen enough to know that you're always trying to find ways to learn more and find efficiencies.
