The way the light was flashing on your final reveal shot almost made the crystals look transparent. Your final touches with the stones and the tufts just brought it all together. My trick to offer on this is where you use white glue on these, consider using matte Mod Podge, both full strength and diluted. Unlike PVA, it doesn't re-wet or soften... something to be concerned about when you finish with wet techniques like your black wash.

That's a lot of crystals to paint! I've done smaller ones by cutting up glue sticks (which give a nice transparency) and adding nail polish to shine them up a bit, but the ones you have are much larger so the foam makes total sense. As always, great work.
@DevsDice
@DevsDice 3 жыл бұрын
Hahaha! Yeap 124 to be exact! 😂 Yeah I was considering that solution as well but since my patron needed them to be huge I needed to use foam. Which meant that I needed to focus on the painting carrying the illusion! Thanks! 👍🙂

I think this build turned out great. I would only ask that you perhaps give some helpful suggestions to those of us who don't have a hot wire cutter setup. You have certainly inspired me to build some crystal terrain! I think my favorite ones have a few dents of dings in the crystal structure, lending to that organic feel. I can't wait to see what you make with all of those scraps from creating these! I be some sort of cobblestone creation!

brilliant interpretation in the paint job, imho; very perceptive choices for how to make the crystals look real

I really really love this video, Leif! I made some crystals (smaller than yours) for my cave terrain and in an attempt to show some depth, rather than just flat styrofoam, I coated it in gloss Mod Podge, Minwax, and gloss finish acrylic sealer, and yours look better because you understood how to paint it! I didn't think to use my airbrush! Or to apply paint to the edges the way you did! Also that darker color! I made mine light blue. I also didn't realize how important it was to lose the styrofoam texture. Awesome! Now I have a new way to make crystals! Two thumbs up my friend! BTW what is a Dev? My 35-year-old daughter couldn't even figure that one out!

Thank you so much for your kind words Frank! 👍😊 So the Devs has a bit of a weird story behind it. The short version is that it stands for "Developer". You see my channel used to be a lot of so-called "tabletop actual-play"-videos, where I and my friends at work would sit down and play some D&D etc. We are are game developers and we are throwing some dice, hence Devs & Dice. Then I started with miniature painting and that really took off. So I decided to split up the content into two channels, that being said, I have yet to upload anything to the other channel! 👍😊😂

I use the Iwata HP-CS 0,35mm. It was my first one and I still use it and it works very well for me! The torches I made myself following a tutorial made a very talented friend of mine, Sebastian over at Atmoseeker. Check out his tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXywdYOhqM1mbbM

Hey Leif. Great job on the crystals! I have a small question. Where do you get your xps foam? I'm from denmark, and it's near impossible to get. Is it easy enough in sweden or do you import it from somewhere? Regards Kasper

Welp, that intro :P As a self-professed sucker for crystals i love these! I also love that unlike quite a few "giant crystal" tutorials i've seen on the net on and off KZbin, you gloss-coated them, because crystals should be shiny, dammit! :D Also, is it weird to have the urge to bite those magenta ones? They kinda look tasty :P
