"If you're looking for a guy who'd drill a mini onto a base, I'm your guy. " Yes, yes you are. These videos are always super entertaining to watch, keep it up!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Ribbon Dye lmao I saw no other option

[@CreativeTeachingWilByrd]

Really like your over all design aesthetic. It breaks the mould from other crafters. Keep up the excelente work!!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@jamesflanagan7374]

Hey, one key thing for basing is to glue down your large pieces (rocks, logs, etc.) first, then lay down your sediment, then paint, then seal with Matt/gloss coat then lay on your static grass/tufts. By putting the big stuff down first it get edged in your finer sediment and looks hella more natural. If your using big rocks like in this project it pays to have some transitional medium size stones. Paint the bigger rocks a different tone than the sediment. If you are using tufts then lay them on top of grass. Doing these things take no effort and make the base a lot more realistic. A good base goes a long way.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

James Flanagan got to give that a shot. Working on some cool minis, I will definitely need those tips.

[@10urion]

I don't even know which single part I like the best because the whole craft is awesome!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Tenurion that’s what I like to hear

[@Anaris10]

Had my doubts at first, but sweet build!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Loved it! I think it looks damn glorious. The towering pose, the very nice purple ragged coat and the spot on OSL effect...Actually the skrew running through the base seems like the most sound option imo for a kitbach this size lol.

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

Cool creature build! Reminds me of building bone golems around Halloween

[@FrankyDCrafter]

The Crafting Brothers I couldn’t wait lol.

[@beginswithaj]

Cooper in background probably couldn't stop staring at the sheer amount of bones to gnaw on.. He might just be Neto's only natural enemy

[@FrankyDCrafter]

If I ever loose this somehow I know who my prime suspect will be.

[@keithshuler654]

Fantastic build...as usual. Got some talent, son. The cloak is very dynamic, shows good motion and the detail and texture are great. The fireball...yeah, I'm gonna steal that. Nice job.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Keith Shuler awesome, just let people know where they can also steal it from lol

[@planetschlock]

That's amazing! And now I finally have a use for that bag of skull beads I bought on Amazon last October. The idea occurred to me not too long ago to make a custom Gravelord Nito using a little Ninja Turtle toy that I found at a Goodwill as a starting point, largely due to its automatically hunched posture and weird proportions (particularly its big, splayed-out arms).

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Awesome! This is something I always wanted to do and now I’m glad you are doing it!!!

[@ScratchBashing]

Man. That guy is awesome!

[@frankling.robertsiii6811]

Bad ass build Franky!!! When I do my bases, I tend to put baking soda down, followed by drops of liquid superglue. Then on top of that, I add some general construction sand like they use in concrete; then I dust more baking soda and super glue.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Franklin G. Roberts III I tend to forget about the base.

[@RFDHobby]

Amazing build and a great tutorial overall man. Just in awe that you whipped this guy up from some bits and pieces. Great work.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

RFDHobby it’s one of my favorite bosses, I felt like I had to do it justice. Lots of inspiration.

[@sirguy6678]

Great video! A fun use of found and scavenged stuff-

[@SparkSovereign]

Great stuff! You asked for suggestions, so here goes; the cardinal rule of OSL is that illuminated areas should be brighter than not illuminated parts. The weird effect on the terminator where red gives away to base color can be avoided if you either 1) use glazes to do the darker colors in the light or 2) set things up so the shadowed side is even darker. Often, I'll do something not unlike zenithal priming, but coming from the light source, when I'm prepping the model; here, basically just imagine your initial drybrushing got much brighter as you approached the flame. You can get some really dramatic atmospheric effects doing this! I hope that inspires you to try something cool the way this is inspiring me to get my hands on more clay and order tons of dollar store skeletons!

Well done Franky!

[@tomyoung9834]

Very cool!

this is awesome!!!!

[@andrewtate4897]

I really like this I sculpt minis from milliput/greenstuff/procreate I have lots of Halloween toys lying about so I might have a go at some evil creation like this

[@victormata7665]

It's an extremely versatile build, loved it!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Victor Mata one of my favorite builds. I wanted to make him from day one.

[@Heath86]

a lot of people secure larger minis to bases so don't feel bad. Also thank you for this video Frankie!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Heath Falkenrath Im surprised at how many people are cool with that step. I guess it works lol

Sick af franky. GG.

modelling past makes excellent fireballs. I made some as a gift for my boss.

[@ArtJeremiah]

I love your style and how resourceful you are. Your imagination trumps many in the crafting community. By far my favorite crafter in KZbin! Thanks for being here.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Art Jeremiah that’s a huge complement. Thank you so much.

[@MeGaShaHeS]

Great build Franky!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Thanks bro, I saw some of your Instagram art dude. That’s awesome.

[@Qew77]

WOW THIS IS SO COOL

[@FrankyDCrafter]

I’m glad you think so. One of my favorite game and boss design.

[@scottselvidge86]

So awesome! Definitely need to make one myself. He would look good next the the Lord Marrowgar I made back during the monster build contest for the Crafting Guild.

Scott Selvidge people are asking me to check him out lol

[@scottselvidge86]

@@FrankyDCrafter Really? You mean people actually remember my build? That's crazy!

[@Lorn058]

Dude this is so fantastic and It must be something with late night people syncing ideas. I'm sitting on the same materials doing an incredibly similar idea when I see this video pop up. Love it definitely saved me some Planning on My own build. Keep at it bro!!

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Craig Bowley awesome 😎 love to see what you come up with

[@STEEVEWES]

very cool

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Nice 😁

[@earthmanbrick]

Beautiful work, man. Both a fine sculpt & amazing paint job

[@FrankyDCrafter]

earthmanbrick I was so nervous about the lighting part of the build

[@earthmanbrick]

@@FrankyDCrafter You nailed the flame & the object source lighting. Perfectly. Looking forward to your next project, man

[@jacobhope6164]

That looks great Franky! Sooooo metal! 💀

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Jacob Hope this has to be the most metal thing I’ve crafted.

[@thelastlaugh9724]

Absolutely fantastic build. When you started up it reminded me of the Cramped Caskets from Bloodborne. Overall fantastic work. Miniature Mashup also screws builds to bases so you aren't doing anything wrong man.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

The Last Laugh I know, it’s funny how people are cool with that step lol

[@phoenixbowers5790]

I love all your work so much, I’m currently building an army for war hammer 40k out of superglue and cheapo army guys, thank you so much for making this amazing video

Phoenix Bowers anytime. Thank you.

[@kylehwilliams]

That purple pops my dude! Noticed the new pan. It would be cool to see a "what's in my workshop" vid. Keep it up and stay safe.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Kyle Williams lol I’ve cut down a lot of my material I realize I don’t need.

[@thaliahelene]

That, too, is worth talking about. Saving money and space.

[@kirksabio2382]

WTF. At the beginning, i thought the flames were air brushed.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Kirk Sabio I’ll take that as a compliment

[@michimatsch5862]

That build is Nito.

[@FrankyDCrafter]

michimatsch lobe the puns lol

[@joehayward4545]

You have come a long way. I am working on Baba Yaga's house. I like how you did the cloak. I did my fire ball with a clear ball bead & built the fire off of it. I will send you a picture.

[@IpainttodayChelmsfordMA]

Frankie if you want a different texture try liquid green stuff. It makes the most unusual textures

[@FrankyDCrafter]

I Paint Today I didn’t even know that was a thing

[@IpainttodayChelmsfordMA]

Ya you can make tons of subtle and not so sutble effects check out green stuff world they have it an it can be a nice tool to put in your toolbox @@FrankyDCrafter

[@robertneudecker1919]

Hobby goon has a channel where he makes amazing effects out of hotglue it is mostly for action figures but you could just shrink it

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Robert Neudecker I’ll have to check that out.

[@garfusa2]

Excellent job dude! But why shouldn't you buy the clay from amazon?

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Bearsan Hatestrike ive gotten really bad clay from them before. But now honestly, you take a gamble no matter where you buy it from. This clay is supposed to be super white, so when you buy it and it’s off white then it’s not the right mix. Idk why they do that.

[@emilflognoid1532]

Do you got like a PO Box where people can send you stuff?
