"Grim Strider" concept to kitbash | Beyond the Blight collaboration with

[@gameyybuilds]

Howdy folks! Here's a link to my site: www.gameyybuilds.com And my Patreon can be found at www.patreon.com/gameyybuilds Also, please excuse the weird glitchy video at 09:38 I'm not sure what happened there! Also, ignore the "Patreon" label on the end screen. I didn't realize KZbin doesn't allow multiple external links at the end of a video, so I can only include my shop link. And as for the accent... sorry, I'm no pro voice actor!

[@nevors01]

But you realy are a pro person man! Keep this thing going.. You have it big time!

[@horizonsforge]

Loving your content, man. I just subbed to your Patreon. Looking forward to both more dioramas and straight up inspiration for my own growing channel! Maybe someday we can collab as well?

[@gameyybuilds]

@@horizonsforge Thanks so much! Your work is phenomenal!

[@horizonsforge]

@@gameyybuilds Much appreciated! That really means a lot!

[@sorbicacid8745]

i have a great idea, here me out Blight farmers, a region so densely covered in the blight that the peoples have evolved to consume the blight without harm, using giant harvesters to collect and use the blight as food, (and maybe power.?.?). this territory could be on the lower left islands. you dont have to take it, but still, this universe you are creating is amazing, and cool

[@RevScott]

Let me get this straight, you build these incredible objects from junk and then expertly paint them, you film the process in interesting ways, you edit the footage adding such very satisfying voice over and a complex soundtrack, AND write a deeply involved short story to expand the life of the scene you've built? You have developed an amazing set of talents, skills and craftsmanship. I'm blown away!!!

[@gameyybuilds]

Yep, that's correct! Thank you! Still learning and growing as an artist and creator...

[@RevScott]

@Inaire Falen "life of the scene" not life in the scene.

[@earlware4322]

​@@inairefalen8065Granted the death of the two protagonists did set him back, I think that the story made up for this deficit and expanded the world of the build. Though, now that you mentioned it his stories do seem to contain a lot of killing and 💀...🤔 Very dark, but I think that is part of the charm of the world of Aegis. Those little bits of life struggling to survive (if not thrive) amidst so much death.

[@stuchly1]

Absolutely. I hope GB gets more subs.

[@HiroProtagonistak]

Wow, this story and these builds are better than most movies these days.

[@sarahtheviking3993]

As a parent of a toddler who was given two (2!!) of those type of caterpillar toys, and as a fellow follower of @NorthoftheBorder, I feel obligated to say: "Oh, hey! A wormie-dealie!"

I love how your stories have a twist at the end so as a servant of the empire she was probably programmed not to leave any wetnesses the authorities know there's more to the fungus but they're actively covering it up

The end of the story gave me goosebumps 🫢

[@onedozenbugs]

Wow man, that story had me on the edge of my seat! Your writing ability rivals your ability to make excellent dioramas!

[@gameyybuilds]

Very kind, thank you!

[@thombaz]

@@gameyybuilds Have you tried fusion360? When I made something from a drawing, I just inserted the drawing 'canvas' the in sketch workspace, I drawed around (or you can use inkscape and the insert it to fusion) and then did a extrude and used fillett/chamfer at the edges. I am not that good in 3D design but can make nearly anything in fusion and much faster then in blender when it comes to these mechanical parts. Oh and you can learn fusion360 on a basic level in days, not like blender.

[@cerisekappes580]

Not only do I love the builds you have done, but I’m completely sucked into the story!!! 😊😊😊

[@anthonypc1]

Your handling of colors is getting even more compelling. Love the contrast between the palette of the Strider and the flora. And I can feel a unifying haze over the harmonious variety of pigments.

[@salamanda550]

Oooooh, the plot thickens once again!

[@Nosculptor]

Great world building! And I love the design of the strider, it reminds me a bit of Moebius's works.

[@gameyybuilds]

Nice! That's quite a compliment!

[@earlware4322]

I can see that. Though I was getting some "Tales from the Loop" vibes as well.

[@dizzkota123]

I love the stories in the world you have created. It feels alive and expanding. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks for watching!

[@spudthefluffyfox]

I love the idea of having a beyond the blight themed t-shirt, but the old droid isn't the one for me. I really hope these work out, so that in the future I could have a pice of the blight that suits me. I love your work and im looking forward to the next installation of the world of Aegis

[@gameyybuilds]

No worries. Hopefully there will be many more to choose from in the future!

[@earlware4322]

Would definately love some more designs, though this one is awesome, the colors are great and since you carry my size I will have to get one. (Once the funds become available.)

[@FC3D]

Love watching this world evolve and develop, i fond these videos therapeutic and intriguing to watch 😊

[@gameyybuilds]

Thank you!

[@Ketacah]

I literally can’t express how hyped I was to come across your channel. I kit bash my own stuff in my own world as well. I was greatly inspired by machinen Krieger. Your stuff is soooo good. Very very inspiring. I relate to your “form follows function” way of building.

[@mumeii9510]

Not at all! I've really been working on my vocal quality and diction to make these more enjoyable to listen to! Thanks for noticing!

[@1998HondaCivicEK1]

Oh ok, now the story gets JUICY. Amazing writing as usual, but the end of the story got me on the edge of my seat. The more you tell about this world, the more I'd love an open world RPG game set in it

[@ferdinandhenkel4567]

The pro way to make the cutouts in the legs would be using the knife and or inset tool to create faces that can then be extruded down. However I would not worry about doing everything in the most pro way possible, do whatever works for you. Also keep up your great content. Best diy channel out there imo.

[@gameyybuilds]

Nice tip, thanks!

[@SturleyArt]

Great addition to the lore of Aegis. I love the use of the pippettes. I hope you're feeling better too, from the lurgy there should not be named.

[@milescooper7258]

In Blender while working on objects not aligned to the global XYZ axes it's helpful to switch to the local transformation orientation by clicking the dropdown in the centre-top of the viewing window (Defaults to global). This way you'll easily be able to extrude perfect right angle to your object no matter its orientation. Great video as always, take care mate.

[@gameyybuilds]

Saving this comment! This is super helpful thank you!

[@milescooper7258]

@@gameyybuilds it bears saying that an objects orientation will only be affected while it is moved in object mode and not in edit mode, but a quicker method is to "Extrude Along Normals" (Alt-E) for simple right angles.

Yet another build knocked out of the park, this world of yours is getting richer and more vivid with every project

Yay more blight, or hopefully less in the case of the people trying to get rid of it!

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

Please please please Eric, stay away from resin printing as much as possible (which you did/do and I’m so grateful). Some of the OG KZbin scratch-builders are now using their printers to wow us with their creations… but it’s always so underwhelming as to me, the enjoyment comes from witnessing/taking part in the ingenuity of seeing a form out of the box + the creative mind in progress + the problem solving genius. Your channel with its story telling, own language and culture is fantastic. You’re not just an architect but also a linguist and a story teller - a truly impressive combo. Oh and I love the ink and watercolour concept art. You’re just amazing. 👌🏼🤯

[@jandepaepe4262]

Each of these stories you tell with each sculpture, they remind me of “Tales from the Loop”, a ttrpg that got its own live-action series.

[@daikansanchez7674]

Damn... What a story. Have I mentioned that short stories that leave more unanswered than what they tell are the best for these kind of content? Just by looking at your build our minds already start telling us story, and then you come and give direction to our imaginations with your narration and an already awesome piece becomes a new type of art. Great build. Awesome story. Fucking unanswered question... Love it.

[@robertnorton8519]

Fun build. I like the pipettes and the globe under the belly when they were clear. I wished you taped them off before painting.
