The colour and texture on the bases of the trees makes me feel legitimately ill. Excellent work.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

I was hoping you were disgusted 😉, thanks !

[@thejonathan130]

Is this where you learnt the gross pva + super glue technique?

[@euansmith3699]

"... I hope you are disgusted." :D I love the Werner Herzog delivery of that line. The terrain is totally fantastic and very inspirational.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks buddy !

[@Danutty]

This is one of the best and most creative nurgle themed things i have ever seen! I love the idea and the execution! great job

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thank you ! And thanks for watching.

[@mrhobbymancanada7057]

I love the colourful bruised look of the flesh

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks !

[@brexitisdank39]

Underated as hell.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks !

[@silenthillfan01234]

Works amazingly well for tyranids also. I’m doing my bases in this style, works so well for the consuming a planet feeling

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

100% ! Thanks for watching!

@@DarkMatterWorkshop I’ve been painting since 2nd( like 20 years now) one thing I’ve always loved seeing in our community is how happy people are to show different tricks and tips.

Breath-takingly repulsive. Love it

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

😏 Thanks !

[@ML-pp8zw]

Amazing work!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks !

[@rangerone643]

great work! i love the idea and will make some nurgle terrain by that ;)

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks! Have fun .

[@czaczacza9936]

Perfect. Thank you!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

No ! Thank you !

[@craftingtroll]

Fun use of colours! Love the different take on Nurgle. Instead of having the regular variations of green(which gets boring really quick), this is really interesting to look at! Great job mate!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks, i love the classic green nurgle look too, but sometimes you want something different.

[@skoaljaw2216]

Absolutely amazing!! The color transitions and the texturing are both disgusting and beautiful!!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Beauty in decay, thanks man !

[@frederiksen8893]

that base is a piece of art.. well done

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thank you !

[@andrewnixon8918]

Really nice work again. Looking forward to next weeks diorama project.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks ! Yeah me too, i’m done with flesh and blood....for now 😏

[@thysvandenbos1324]

Ugh, get me the bucket, I'm gonna get sick... Papa Nurgle would love this!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

All hail the flesh !

[@sandyakabatteriehuhn]

Welcome to Papa Nurgle's Steakhouse!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

😏 thanks !

[@WinterWizard7]

Brutal. I love it! Awesome work mate. Came across your video in my feed. I have subscribed and will be checking out more for sure! Just uploaded a video myself converting a Great Unclean One model using a real crab claw.

[@Bluecho4]

Might work exceedingly well for games set in the Meatropolis (from the _A Blasted, Cratered Land_ blog). A homebrew setting that basically posits what would happen if the residents of a Discworld-esque locale had the disk they lived on fly off into space, and are forced to take shelter within the body of the giant space turtle their world originally sat on. And then what would happen if the residents of the new meat-society accidentally killed the turtle, leaving folks to eke out whatever living they can within the slowly dying corpse of the world turtle.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

For example... Thanks for watching 😉

[@guillaumeneve9105]

Waw !!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@szpaQ83]

I highly recomend you to see The Rotten Valley from Monster Hunter World. The place is filled up with giant ribcage like structures and decaying bodies of bigger and smaller creatures. Ad to it some of this design and.... 😁

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Cool stuf ! Thanks for the tip !

[@ChampionofTerra]

One more great tutorial!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks man.

[@Sanorace]

Oh god, this is disgusting. I love it!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Glad your disgusted ! 😉

[@mrhobbymancanada7057]

No freaking way! Mystery flesh pit national park!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Lol

[@IDICBeer]

That is one great effect mate

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thank’s man !

[@MajorSeasalt]

Gert, good video man. You know I like your skills right ;)

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks mate !

[@nightcitycrafts]

Man that is pretty. I wonder if theres a way to do this without melting plastic.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks ! Shure, any suitable texture should work.

[@chrisforkner1690]

What thickness of MDF board do you recommend? Tried this with chipboard and I got a lot of bowing. Awesome video too!

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

This was 3mm mdf. Mdf warps too if you go too big, this piece was fairly small so I had no problem. Thanks !

[@negotiableaffections]

When the, Terrain Builders Oscars , becomes a thing....you'd better start preparing your acceptance speech! That base is a genuine work of art, build one; 2metres x 3metres and you'll be in the gallery! Btw about that sawdust mix, do you have a more detailed tutorial? I've used S/dust, wallpaper paste, plaster-of-paris, powdered chalk, PVA etc in papier-mache paste making for years [trying different recipes] but that simple 2part mix has eluded me. I would love to know more. Have you considered a little two-part epoxy brushed over the 'fleshy' bits to give them a wet look?

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thank u very much sir ! The sawdust recipe is : 90% fine sawdust/10% wallpaper glue. That’s it really 😀 ad water ‘till you reach a paste like consistency. Takes a while to dry and shrinks but gives instant bark texture and is very strong yet flexible, expect more tuts. with this material. The inks used give a semi gloss effect. I went with more subtle gradings of wetness with this piece but epoxy would work perfectly.

[@negotiableaffections]

@@DarkMatterWorkshop ty, I shall pop it in my recipe book, and watch my notifications for more of your excellent work

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks DMW.

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Thanks for watching 😉

[@AquaBoogie523]

Can you make those plastic bag imprints in foam board instead of clay?

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

No, the plastic is to soft to make indentations. I’d use heat to make fleshy texture on foam or PVA and superglue.

[@maxfreise5144]

My clay cracked and turned brittle. Was it too thin?

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Could be, cracking is a fairly normal reaction though.

When you began painting the base it looked like a vultures head
