Here we go again 😊

[@Konstaliusev]

Omg you used Doccy's drawing as the thumbnail I love this 😭♥️

[@spazbobstinkpants]

2083: "Doccy, your art has really evolved over time. Tell us about your first published piece."

[@boneralert5226]

u forgot the letter a in Guardians go edit it real quick and delete my comment! i love your videos!

[@evilstermegaman]

Yo, bro, da fehlt ein a in Guardians XD

[@ilumistratewfb237]

Doc ich liebe die Statuen und das Kunstwerk. Wollte auch was beitragen aber bin nicht so talentiert wie die anderen aber wäre cool neben der Straße einige heruntergefallene Statuen und halb zerstörte Säulen zu sehen

[@liquidminds]

I like the ancient display of "no grian, no scar, no mumbo". The Ancient Goat civilization clearly was very wise and ahead of their time.

[@Osmotic]

It was foretold!

[@abigaileastep9159]

*gasp a prophecy!

[@Taolan8472]

Grian the Interloper. Mumbo the Outsider. And Scar. The Destroyer.

[@thenopequeen]

The three legendary Buttercup Devils have been reborn!

[@claymoreclatterclaw4648]

The goatmother warned us about the Cerberus

[@mrtoast244]

Plot Twist: Doccy destroyed the ancient perimeter civilization thousands of years ago to give their dad cooler lore

[@filbertovandette]

Brilliant.....

[@steveglitterbutt]

Memento mori

[@foxfire9124]

He wanted a sandbox big enough for him and his dad to play in together.

[@onnovalify]

So you are saying a kindergartner committed genocide for his father’s lore?

[@NeonPaladin]

00:00:00:00

[@graham1403]

This season will end when one of Doc's tomato plants mutates and goes on a world-destroying rampage.

[@ttry1152]

Will it be the size of a moon?

[@molliebowling7029]

A giant tomato slime having just managed to get over the rim of the perimeter and is eyeballing scabland castle for his next rampage would look great from both perspectives and block the visibility of the castle from inside your perimeter.

[@Werewolf914]

A Tomato Kaiju destroying all in it's path?

[@MarioPlinplin]

Tomato big

[@leaflet1686]

That would actually be really cool...

[@mrtoast244]

Doc should make a giant ice farm that looks like a refrigerator where he can hang up Doccy’s drawings edit: oh, it's over lol. maybe next season hehe

[@thenegativeandzero]

That is such an amazing idea

[@henryraglin8309]

That would be so awesome

[@akumabito2008]

Love this idea 😊

[@zurfu1639]

Omg so cute

[@thecatinthefedora1201]

Sir, the noble prize committee just called, they'd like to know the mailing address to send your awards to

[@FairyRay]

8:38 the comedic timing of Doc talking bad about Ren's build and Ren leaving haha

[@qocket]

That new thumbnail artist really has some potential and talent, we will follow their burgeoning art career with great interest.

[@Oldladies_o7]

Doccy art!!! I’m stoked to watch. Also, woah, the new mural looks AMAZING, the effort definitely paid off.

[@felixsfriendthatgavehimthe2108]

One day these events will be known as the “Perimeter Wars,” and historians will be studying it like it’s some truly impactful era in time. Historians will be me. I’m historians.

[@anymousecandraw]

all the historians

[@Goatsauce_]

This is one of the best thumbnails yet, Doccy is a very skilled artist :)

[@ouriceira]

Been watching you ever since MindCrack season 1, and I have to say, the more I grow up the more you've become not just my favourite Minecraft KZbinr, but my favourite internet personality in general, you are the most genuine person out there, never change Doc! 11 years gone, 11 more to go, best of luck with Doccy and the family

[@docm77]

❤

[@Zireael83]

yeah, each week i´m only really looking forward to docs video ^^ i´m 40 and normaly don´t fanboy over anything. but these videos are so wholesome and awesome, it just makes my day

[@ruisdier0547]

Heyo Doc! I saw your tweet about the views and just know that the most loyal fans will always watch so don't sweat it too much. We appreciate your videos, take care of yourself and always make sure to grind, optimize, automate & thrive 🤟🐐

[@bobosaurus331]

What was the tweet about?

[@cambria9893]

@@bobosaurus331 As states above: "The views" Sunsets, valleys, meadows. That kind of stuff

[@muse0583]

Easily the coolest perimeter design ever made. Make the doccy fan art a mural!!

[@aefinn]

Just a small suggestion: since the parameter is filled with water at the bottom, having a trident that you can use to fly could be useful :)

[@wademerritt]

What if one of the murals was map art of Doccy's drawing, then you could hang it up in your base? Great vid as always!

[@Nyerguds]

Cute as that would be, it doesn't really suit the style.

[@molliebowling7029]

Ask beef to make it for you. I bet he would love to.

[@j_j_j_j_j154]

I want to restyle it now so that it fits

[@Xacris]

Those statues are awesome! I've been using all this lore to inspire an ancient civilization in my Dungeons and Dragons campaign, with shrines to the Goat Mother, which my players have found out was a great spirit worshiped by the ancient people who rewarded hard work, cooperation, inventiveness, and tomatoes. My players decided to start a tomato garden in game for the Goat Mother!

[@docm77]

Very cool!

[@Zireael83]

thats actually awesome! :D

[@GPLB]

The new mural is giving good Hokusai Great Wave vibes

[@TheTrekkie12]

Ultimate putting your kid's art on the fridge! Amazing!!! As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like "i wonder if Doccy drew that?" and i was giddy looking in the description before the video started playing to find that they did!

[@Garbelerian1234]

doccy for fanartist of the week

[@stormyknight713]

The newest mural looks amazing and was well worth the effort. Love the Guardians of the Perimeter! Doccy making you some fan art is just the cutest!

[@BlahCraft1]

After seeing this week's thumbnail fan art, I think the other fan artists have been slacking. It was so adorable!

[@isabellefaguy7351]

Ren's castle in the background of your nice murals kinda reminds me of real world cities where ugly new buildings contrast with beautiful ancient architecture. Also, I know it's been hard to make the detailled murals, but they're looking so great, I think they're worth the time you put into them!

[@Nebagram]

Literally just finished Tango's VOD 10 seconds ago, Doc is the GOAT of timing even when he's not trying to be 😀

[@spooked_glitch]

Aww, Doccy's drawing is adorable omg. Also Doc officially dad of the year right here, most parents, they put their kids' art on the fridge. Doc, straight up uses his kid's art as the image everyone on the internet sees for his video, dang

[@Petobismal-db8nj]

I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail who the great artist was! It's heartwarming seeing how Doccy enjoys HC just as much as the rest of us. And good lord the detail on that mural?? I can only imagine how much time it took getting all the resources for it!

[@user-ym7yd5zt7q]

I loved the thumbnail it looked amazing :)

[@AlanFasick]

It would be cool to see a pathway from Scarland to the overlook with a viewing platform like you see in parks like the Grand Canyon, etc. - would make a connection between the two bases.

[@redliam5]

I absolutely LOVE the thumbnail! Doccy is an amazing artist- a true GOAT 🐐🦾🦾

[@Nyerguds]

That thumbnail is amazing! The artist clearly put a lot of effort into it 😃

[@CosmicSkiezz_]

Doccy is going to be an awesome artist once they grow up!!

[@ArtisticCeleste]

Awww, Doccy is such a good artist! That's so sweet they drew your character. Also the mural is looking great!

[@turdboi420-69]

The main road made me laugh because the entire reason there was water there was to block spawning spaces for the farms and how you're making a path lol It was definitely a genius idea to use all paths and moss carpet.

[@leradium]

Hey Doc, I usually don't comment on KZbin but I wanted to thank you for using my artwork!!! I was so excited last week when I saw the thumbnail an now you're using even another one!? Tysm, I really appreciate it :D ~Leradium

[@triciahuett4653]

You got me all teary eyed to see the best fan art a dad could get. Love the statues and tomato pile. Base is looking so amazing. ❤

[@josiemcauley1840]

Doccy's art is so cute! Ive been catching up on some episodes ive missed, and just gotta say the progress youve made is mind-blowing! Its also really inspiring, whilst I've been catching up ive been crocheting, and i think its doubled the speed of my projects, i managed to complrte a shawl in like less than a week?! Thank you so much for the episodes!

[@wolframstahl1263]

dadm77 + Doccy, now that's the collaboration we've all been waiting for!

[@Tiggalover06]

Ok but doccy is becoming quite the artist :)

[@HeartGamer26]

Best Thumbnail! I just love how the perimeter is coming together between the paths, the murals, the buildings and the farms.

[@ef1876]

Man it is insane how well the perimeter is coming together! I wasn't really expecting it to be more than functional (which would have been impressive in its own right), considering the sheer size of it but it's ended up being one of my favourite bases of all time, and actually helped inspire my final project for college this year. Its such a cool concept and an amazing execution filled with world breaking redstone contraptions! Doc (and his brilliant community) has truly outdone himself this season and prove he really is the GOAT

[@AceOfFools]

The finished Perimeter will certainly go down in history as one of the largest, most ambitious, most intricate Minecraft projects ever. Well, maybe not ever. But certainly in Hermitcraft history. Just the attention to detail, the murals, the sheer scope... the Perimeter, Scarland, and Decked Out 2 will make S9 one for the record books.

[@Budda523]

Just got my signed DocM TCG card today

[@eternal4074]

Doccy’s art is absolutely adorable. Perimeter looks great too, you’re outdoing yourself!

[@NeverEatPearss]

With the statues all having unique weapons and some variations in body type, you've got me imagine them as soldiers who lived in and protected the Perimeter. Defended it so gloriously that statutes were built in their likeness, leading up to the Hall of GOAT. Perhaps built where the soldiers were stationed when they were alive, or maybe the statues mark where the Guardians were buried. Some of the most well decorated gravesites in the Perimeter, the goat people might have built them in honor of their great protectors, or because they believed the statues provided safety even after the soldiers had fallen. And there's got to be some meaning for how there is eight statues and eight slimes held aloft. Yet the statues are stood evenly, equal to each other, as if they all fought together, using their different weapons to compliment each other in battle.. the slimes are all holding up the top most one, you might say there is a clear hierarchy, although that might be looking too deep into some decorative slimes.

[@NatalieThress]

I love that scab land castle is visible in the background when looking at your beautiful murals

[@redstonedad6434]

Doccy's art = the best fan art

[@6classer]

The evolution of the use of lore in the perimeter has been a joy to watch ! This season has become very unique and cool in this way with the incorporation of this kind of storytelling through building.

[@ChurroPuff]

Today’s thumbnail is so adorable and wholesome ❤

[@SevenOne_71]

I love how all the murals have a distinct artstyle, not only is it just beautiful but also it implies that like each mural was made a very long time apart by different generations of artists and shows how huge this ancient civilization was and how long it survived

[@FerrousInvicta]

Simply epic - How these artist are able to come up with these Rembrandt Quality images is beyond me - love the concept would you consider continuing the evolution of the perimeter next season?

[@TheAcorner1987]

Can't wait for hermitcraft season 25 when doccy joins the server lol

[@DrKvo]

I'm loving these videos lately Doc, they're just so wholesome and it's nice to have such an uplifting spirit to watch lately. Thanks as always :)

[@FerrousInvicta]

Inspired by J.R.R Tolkien - The Hobbit 1937 - The One Ring One Goat to stand up tall One Goat to hivemind call One Goat to bleat them all and may the grind define them The lore behind The One Goat (Goat Mother) - Inspire and stand up tall - Use the hivemind to produce the best of the best - Collectively we will win and take pride in the effort that you put it. Here is to the New Year

[@bennyk384]

I love how Doc just starts the video so casually like he didnt just build another MASSIVE mural! Amazing as always doc. Keep up the great work. P.S. I'd love to see some doc-made art, no matter how "bad" you think it might look :P

[@mtryder2001]

Doc, a Parthenon style build around the drown farm, and 2 larger statues (like the ones holding the tomatoes) holding up the TCG arena in the middle (instead of the chains). They’d be standing next to the Parthenon and same ground level but towering above.

[@angelabarefoot]

Who doesn't like to fly around? And on the Hermitcraft server it's even more fun. What a great job for your dad to have - I can just imagine what Doccy tells at kindergarten. "My dad fights with tomato monsters and builds giant cities with towers and statues and murals and flies around with butterfly wings." :D

[@leandrobravo3319]

The artwork from Docy is sweet. Doc could ask Cleo to bring ab it of life to his area with archeologists, cleaning murals or cataloging finds and what not.

[@mkwISwhite]

the holy staircase leading to a holy elevator leading to the hall of goat, the adept doc's forge. (Idea for a floating skull lore: It's producing the sacred machine oil which is used to keep the elevator's machine spirit stable)

[@channelknightfadran7901]

For the idea of the tomatoes riding around the perimeter: imagine one of those old pulley systems with tons of buckets that you could use to send supplies and such across rivers and canyons. Building a massive hanging rail from one end to the other would obviously be a massive grind of potentially mind-meltingly boredom, and trying to keep a constant stream of slimes going back and forth without constantly unloading and bumping into each other would be... difficult but it *would* look pretty epic (Edit: probably a more reasonable endeavor would be to connect the tomato planters to the skull in the center; maybe to the Hall of GOAT as well, if it fits)

[@melissamoulton63]

Its still hard to belive how far you have come with these murals in such a short time. Its an epic build

[@dragonridertechnologies]

I love the detail level of the new mural. Yeah, it's a *lot* harder to build, but it just feels higher quality too. I really like the goat-man guardian statues. It's cool that sandstone has that much potential for detailing; I hadn't previously realized that. The copper accents are really good on it too. The intrusion of Scarland and Scabland on the perimeter is also funny. Honestly, Ren's castle looks kinda good on the horizon... at least from this distance.

[@itsmilan4069]

okay there are absolutely beast of fan artists here in the community but damn little doccy's drawing melted me bad it's sooo adorable

[@BlahCraft1]

I think you should let the other Hermits come together and make one of the perimeter wall art sections... kinda like graffiti.

[@darkskull1-132]

The massive fan art murals make The Perimeter a truly iconic Hermitcraft base 🔥 I for one will remember this for the rest of my days, so grateful for this awesome game and amazing group of content creators 💓

[@aefinn]

The most wholesome thumbnail. Love it!

[@drvalen4502]

Man docs Perimeter is becoming one of my favorite base this season. He's put so much passion into it and it looks amazing

[@whisperinwind87]

My favorite part of these videos is when Doc goes into gushing parent mode! Little Doccy is so cute!

[@user-kt6jv8wk5x]

Tango, Doc, and Beef are definitely the biggest grinders of this season.

[@user-kt6jv8wk5x]

and Scar

[@OksanaSean]

Love the Guardians of the Perimeter! Thanks for sharing Doccy’s art. Awesome video as always Doc!

[@0DarkWolfSVK]

The parameter was the most ambitious base. And now it's also becoming the most beautiful one.

[@kyleeames8229]

17:04 I was thinking in my head cannon that the Guardians of the Perimeter could be some self-maintaining Ancient Goat People Clarktech. Then it would make sense in the lore that they don’t look worn/old/ruined. Then you mention aging/ruining them and I immediately thought “but muh ancient ClarkTech lore.”

[@Soupat2]

Now that you’ve established the holy elevator, its gotta have some epic elevator music. 😂

[@heartlifeheart]

"Make sure to follow their socials, its mine" 😂

[@Adrienne_BriarShade]

The Perimeter is looking awesome. So much work, but you can see all the effort paying off. Totally lost for words with how the Lore and the artwork is coming together

[@shrootskyi815]

19:05 the "axe-like thing" is a actually a quite accurate, albeit coarse-grained, depiction of a pole axe/pollaxe; an axe head on the front, a hammer on the back, and a spear head/spike on the top. Halberds are very similar weapons, though they are slightly different: halberds have hooks or spikes on the back instead of hammers. Though I suppose with how blocky the minecraft build is, it could be a hammer or a hook on the back, so the distinction doesn't really matter (still fun to nerd out over imo). Anyway, polearms - including pole axes, halberds, spears, etc. - were the most effective, widely used, and versatile battlefield weapons used in the medieval period, all while being cost effective because they used a relatively small amount of metal (compared to swords and some other weapons). Polearms are absolutely a great choice for defending the perimeter, so it's nice to see all the guards are carrying them in some form or other.

[@thedachmo]

Everything about the street, the building, the guardians and slimey tomatoes looks amazing. And that new art piece! Love it! Amazing effort! And I love the justification.... Err I mean lore for the elevator! 😂

[@Rachy71]

Doccy art work as the thumbnail very cool. The guardians look bring even more to the GOAT lore.

[@athoth-ange1295]

Love the drawing lil doccy made it looks so cute 🥰🥰🥰

[@villersyt]

THE FANART keeps on giving!

[@cfborelli]

A whole new hi-def mural and it just pops out like that at the beginning of the video. Mind boggling!

[@blacktopgypsy5954]

Beauiful art - all of it. Just amazing what you’re doing with the Perimeter!! Love the statues especially!

[@amdkillaplays]

I missed a couple of episodes and come back to see all this insane progress on the murals. Fantastic work as always

[@grifferthrydwy]

when I asked for doccy thumbnail on twitter I didn’t expect to actually get it!

[@UniverseCafe]

I cannot express enough how much Doc has inspired my builds. After watching an episode, I am super motivated to play and build in my world. I recently got realms and now I play with my 10 year old. We both love HermitCraft, and we both love Docm77. This is a super family friendly channel, and I love that!

[@shaneord7527]

I think one of those statues broken at the legs, laying on it's back, then a 1 block break at the neck and the head on its side would look pretty cool.

[@YetAnotherJenn]

That new mural is AMAZING. I am in love.❤❤❤ Doccy art is so sweet. Good job enjoying the journey and tending your life and art. BRILLIANT. Well worth celebrating. 🎉

[@mickus85]

You should make an overgrown tomato plant blend into Scar’s forest. Also, I think adding some glow lichen on the paths and bridge can contribute to the overgrown nature while adding a little eeriness and abandonment to the atmosphere.

[@chaitanyakulkarni6416]

Sorry about the views doc, I grew up watching you from high school to uni , now working . Cant make much time for youtube. Love ya

[@stablestone4702]

Doc, I have no words … the grind of the goat is real! I feel like an elevator of some sort is needed by the area scar worked on so our ancients can get into the parameter

[@julierosemodelproductions]

that's GOTTA be the best fanart so far ❤❤❤ so cute

[@ilcian]

Alt history : Goatmother was a present god, and when the ancients turned from her teachings, she rebuked them. They killed her, chaining and burying her bones and skull. Her final curse was the flood that laid waste tonthe ancients. If her skull is released from its chains, she will resurrect and destroy the world.

[@goiterlanternbase]

8:19 For a true eyesore, equip Ren with a few double chests of Diamond Blocks. Chunky builds out of Dia and Emerald Blocks are universally considered to be rock bottom taste😎

[@scrapman502]

You can build a wall high enough to block your view of Scabland and then decorate/camouflage the wall with forest tree patterns or another mural for the great goat mother.

[@angelofthedead5589]

I’ve been away for a bit a missed an episode or two but keep up with art and updates on Twitter. Now, as I’m catching up, I’m sooo happy Doccy’s art was featured! It’s incredible 🖤

[@captianfluffy1003]

Its insane to see how good the perimeter is looking rn. Starting to look smaller but more organized and filled with lore. GG

[@shaunacall4685]

The great stairs to the elevator look amazing. Perfect statues. Clearly goats are easier to design than dwarves, just ask impulse!

[@michaelgage652]

I watched tango’s live stream announcing the winners of DO. Someone suggested doccy voice the “easy” setting in the game. I would play easy mode just to hear it. 😅 they are heart melting adorable. Next doc episode voiced by doccy!

[@highongaming759]

looks amazing as always doc i love how its all coming together

[@Epicc928]

I love your pride in your kid’s art. It’s adorable.

[@MrDameius]

It's so easy to underestimate the size of the perimeter from week to week until Doc has to fly from the mother plant to the hall in real time. Also now that I've gotten to this point in the video: The grand stairway looks really good but in comparison to its surroundings looks too busy and/or complete compared to the rest of the ruins. I would think maybe adding some trailing breakdown ruins behind the two rows of statues would help fill in the look, depending on what you have in mind for the facade in the middle section of the perimeter wall there.

[@Oxnard5000]

Those statues holding the holy tomatoes look similar to the XB's villager statues holding the Warden. ALL THE LORE IS CONNECTED! 😄
