[@warkentien2]

Forced perspective, forced lighting, LEDs, dioramas, epoxy, "furniture" building. As an artist myself, this is my favorite project yet. No shortage of ambition or commitment. You deserve every single view you get.

[@CyberWolf755]

This is mind blowing. 11/10 If the LED lights flickered or moved in a wave pattern or both. It could add the extra flare of the fire changing

[@chilly_shrooms]

It was awesome seeing Hansi being more active in the building and filming! You can tell over the years he’s gotten more comfortable with this, such a cool project guys!!! Great job!!!!

[@chaybressler6739]

yes yes yes

[@casstarre4131]

It is amazing to also see his enthusiasm for brilliant projects they make😄💪🏻

[@TerkanTyr]

Yeah I think he did a lot of work in the background before, but they work very well together. The drawing/shading/painting challenge also seems to be paying off

[@SilverLuna07]

I was gona mention this! Hyped up Hansi is a delight! He always comes across as the chill quiet one of the two, but I feel like he's one of those guys who only gets crazy when he's comfortable. It's fun to see him a lil 'crackheaded' aswell like this!

[@merlith4650]

Actually, Hansi was a lot more active in the early days of the channel (when they were still known as "Natural Nerd"). In the olden days, Hansi had his own dedicated videos. Martina used to be the more camera shy and soft-spoken one. As Martina got more confident in front of the camera, they eventually figured out their "shtick" and the formula for their content about 4 years ago, with Martina being more the presenter and the face of the channel and adding the "skjer'a Bagera" catchphrase (Norwegian rhyme slang)

[@margethordottir]

I love seeing more of Hanzi in this video! The dynamic between Hanzi and Martina is the best!

[@Vintage_Belle]

Agreed! I really like to see them together. Also Hansi is just fun to watch too!

[@PeteQuad]

Not really in agreement. I feel he takes away from the star of the show.

This project literally had EVERYTHING I LOVE about Nerdforge!! From silly humor, Martina's painting, having more Hansi in the video, building dioramas, resin pours, lighting magic and just truly a nerdy, awesome project!! One of my favorites hands down! Well done!!

[@FayinKay]

Seeing Hanzi being more active on camera and seeing elf Martina... This channel really excels at making me smile 😂😂

[@3DSage]

00:05 best hello ever!

[@Eindkaas]

I haven't seen this mentioned enough: it looks sooo much like the card in the game! Really brought it to life. And that's coming from someone who's played this card in game probably hundreds of times over the years. Kudos.

[@DiamondCake2]

Wasn’t this card buffed recently to deal 6 and summon a 6 cost minion?

[@Eindkaas]

@@DiamondCake2 couldn't tell ya, played for years but that was years ago when it was a ONIK set card.

I love the KZbin art community and how supportive and collaborative they are. Jazza calling out NerdForge with the rugs and then Martina calling out Jazza with the card dioramas. I've followed both of these channels for years this just makes me dance inside 🥰 Oh and as far away as they are from each other, I NEED a collab someday!

[@Lanigirl1080]

[@Yrelevant]

I literally screamed when I heard her mentioning him it's so wholesome ❤ fingers crossed they make a collab together at some point 🥺

[@timisme8360]

I am really glad to see Hans taking a more forward roll in some of these videos. His practical view to Martina's chaotic energy is a perfect match! You really are an adorable pair. And my absolute favorite craft and art channel.

[@xchrysantha]

For sure! The balance between the two is immaculate. My favorite moment that highlights this was a video where he was explaining that his part would be difficult and complicated, and he goes, "But Martina wants the ~°•aesthetic•°~ *sarcastic shoulder shimmy*." Gets me every time🤣

[@mauriciorodrix]

Yeeeah I love the dynamic between them

[@Sebbir]

5:39 also this bit was very funny 😂

[@Abi-qc4pb]

Hiya, just a tip with liquid latex for molding, you can add flour to it to thicken it however much you need so you can build it up and use it like a clay. To smooth it out, just use more latex!! I've use this method for a lot of my textured artworks and molds, and many also use this method for sfx makeup. 7:11

[@ChibiChula]

This whole project is amazing! 🤩 I think the only tiny thing that I might have done differently is add something behind the blue jewel to either make it glow or reflect light. Even just sticking some aluminum foil to the back might have worked, though silver leaf or a larger sheet of mirror sticker would have been best. Adding a bit of light or some dichroic film to the resin (or both) would have made it look a tiny bit more magical. That's a small thing though. 😅 The Bob Ross segment had me cackling like a chibi demon. Very appropriate. 😂 Hanzi was so enthusiastic and cute during this project. It's so nice to see him getting more comfortable with being on camera. 😊 I was actually surprised that you hadn't heard about the mirror stickers before. It's very common for crafters and for people with kids or pets that want to have mirrors without the danger. It comes in small sheets for cards and crafts like the ones you found to large rolls generally used for putting a full length mirror on the back of a door with no extra weight. I think you can even find color tinted versions, gold mirrors are the most common I've seen apart from normal mirror sticker. It's pretty awesome stuff. 😁👍🏼 I'm so impressed with this whole thing. Well done! 👏🏻😲

[@TasareAlda]

Its so lovely to to see Hansi in a more active role in a video. It's easy to forget how much he actually does for the channel. Its nice to be reminded. Great project too!

[@zlatan_2197]

​@@eTimer It's a fun sketch, not a Shakespeare play, chill

[@MaxRomantschuk]

Having watched Nerdforge videos a long time I'd argue Hansi's presentation skills have definitely developed a lot. For me part of the appeal is watching two wonderful people learning and developing their skills. Otherwise I could just watch some soulless professionally produced TV studio production. Hansi: you're doing great ❤

[@darkannemette]

"Always start on the cool stuff" needs to be made into a hoodie or a T-shirt now😆

[@Kate-cc9hj]

I want that Bob Ross segment as a whole episode.... Also, "if you can't beat the adhd, become one with it" is going to be the quote I live by from now on.

[@ooneybird27]

That also needs to be a T-shirt, along with "Always do the cool stuff first."

[@hannahstewart5337]

100% agree!!

[@SpammingY]

Duuuuude it looks *SO GOOD!!* And actually, even cooler, cuz it's ACTUALLY 3D and _ACTUALLY GLOWING._ Insane.

[@mastercko]

Amazing video and the final result looks soooooo good! I think you absolutely nailed the look of the in-game art! If you really wanted to take it to 11, two minor suggestions I have would be: 1) adding a smoke machine to have clouds billowing out from the firelands through the portal, and 2) having the LEDs (if they are capable of it) flickering with random cadence to really get at the moving nature of fire and lava. Other than that, though, no notes! This is already next level as is! Great work!

[@maplelump]

I cracked up at the Bob Ross segment. "nice little hellscape, you can put whatever demonic creatures you want in, it's your world"

[@jessika702]

Do u guys know what kind of dog breed Nori is?

[@timainwhitewolf]

@@jessika702 he's an Icelandic Sheepdog - which is funny to me, because (at least here in Austria), the Icelandic Sheepdog is grouped in the same class of dogs as the Spitz breeds (Pomeranians are the smallest and Keeshonds the biggest true Spitz breeds). And my Nori that I wrote about in the comment above, is a Keeshond, so in the same "family" as Nerdforge's Nori 😁

The putting the mirror around it so it has that kinda fuzzy haze actual Warcraft portals have was genius. Another amazing build!

(Looking exactly like the original but so much cooler with the mirrors in the portal).

Every project has always been amazing. But, in this video, I was so happy and amused with Hansi's enthuse, like it was so good to see him more on camera, even though he does a lot of work behind it. And the whole segment from 5:24 to 5:52 starting with ''Hello fellow KZbin watchers!!'' 😂 till Martina's reaction... Loved that.

[@SilverAlaunt]

Not gonna lie, the first thing I thought of when Hansi was holding up the template was that it would look amazing if transferred to a rug. Do y'all still have those tufting supplies?

I only found two differences, but the fact that you made the 2 dimensional card look much more awesome in 3d makes those small differences irrelevant and unnoticeable. I love how you bent both pictures, used mirror and lighting and paint and perspective. I am happy that your math and engineering worked splendidly. Also, the jewels looked very good. Good job, much clapping and appreciation, lovely.

Really liked seeing more of Hanzi's work this time, a lot of the time we don't really see the things he does in the background. And the result is amazing, I do hope it'll go on display somewhere and won't just collect dust in your warehouse.

[@Samcaracha]

"descriptive geometry" is the keyword here. It teaches you how to construct and not just aim a certain depth, shortening and stretching and so on. It is really cool to look into!

[@KialayaKreations]

I just love how into it Hansi is in this video, the energy... LOL He has totally integrated into the dynamic of the videos and the style, its so nice to see their interactions. It's just hilarious becase Martina at the beginning of the video was the super hyped one saying "yes, yes!!!" and then at around 5:40 it's Hansi doing the explanations all enthusiastic slapping the wood and Martina has the sort of expression of "oh my god, I created a monster". 🤣 I have to admit I really can't care less about the card they are making of an unknown game to me, but I watched the entire video just because its so fun and entertaining seeing them while I'm crafting.

That was beyond incredible!! The 3D carving and the flaming portal with the mirrored finish was a stroke of genius! This is just my thoughts because as I said before, genius! I would have liked to see the slightest illumination under the gem stones but maybe that would have detracted from the diorama. And you might have tried it and it just didn’t look good. Sometimes I don’t know when to stop when I’m creating. It can be a big problem for me. But I still say GENIUS!!❤

[@TheNudeBrewer]

A few things to mention here: 1> This isn't "just another phone game." Hearthstone is produced by Blizzard Entertainment. They are one of the most, if not **THE** most respected game production studio in the entire world. They also make: the original Warcraft series (RTS), Diablo, Starcraft, Overwatch, World of Warcraft (MMO), and of course, Hearthstone. 2> They're the most respected game production studio for a reason. Their graphics department is second to none. It's a *HUGE* honor for them to reach out and have an independent designer make something that they had every ability to make on their own. It speaks to the fact: they knew what they would be getting with you, here. This is just... breathtakingly AMAZING!!! I'm sure Blizzard is proud! 3> I've played WoW since day1. This year is the 20th anniversary for WoW!!! So believe me when I say: I've spent wayyyyy too much time looking at (flying around, playing inside, etc) the fully realized 3D structure that is the Firelands Fortress that you made here. You took a simple 2D drawing and made an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT 3D model!!! Every flair from WoW is seen here. You had to have spent some time inside WoW to make this so perfect ... yes?! 4> ...so now what happens with it? Did Blizzard commission this from you, so that they can keep it at their HQ? That would be some elite company!!! Although, since WoW is a global game and there are plenty of EU servers, does it stay in your area? Or even ... CAN I HAVE IT?!!? lol Please let us (me!) know!!! :) So much love! This is amazing!!!

[@livedandletdie]

They are among the most HATED Publishers in the world. Blizzard that is. Be it WOW, Diablo, Overwatch, Hearthstone etc. They're almost as disliked as there are KZbin, Google, and Alphabet Incorporated Controversies... yeah... Oh and you've played WOW since 2004, wow... congrats on playing a shite game for 20 years. You'd fit perfectly into 1932-1945's Germany. Congratulations on being a MegaSimp to Blizzard. You literally sound as if you were paid by Blizzard to say all of this drivel. Because no one not even the most staunch WOW Fans would say that Blizzard is a good company.

[@inkop2011]

The level of excitement from them both was amazing. I love seeing how passionate they both can get with a project. It really shows in the final result. Amazing work.

[@timisme8360]

I remember you had the same doubts about perspective with the rug carving video but we all remember how that turned out. Freakin' AWESOME, of course! Whenever you or Hans have doubts, just remember one thing. We viewers never doubt you for a second. And I love that you show your videos and include the failed attempts, on the rare occasions you fail, before you fix them. Most other channels will air their videos and be like, "Easy peasy, chilly breezy" but not too many other creators will show their videos, warts and all.

[@theresabu3000]

Yes loved Hansi doing the outside of the game card design - using an airbrush. 😍 I know it's not really his wheelhouse, but I was really surprised how good he was in the painting learning video. A lot of it is experience - doing things over and over again and learning from mistakes. But it's also really looking and seeing details of how things look and not just the whole picture/impression. Martina did a wonderful job with the fireland painting❤ Really ties in everything together

[@chromasux2]

Bringing both of yours skills together, every style and method to make art all in one, shout outs to other crafters, including the Hacksmith mini saber (which is an awesome tool, I know) and making something the game company should be proud to put in their lobby, makes for a total package video. This was a terrific build!

Hullo Martina & Hansi, this is freaking awesome!!! I have worked on parade floats and similar stuff. You only have to worry about the judges being 4 to 6 feet away, so you can get away with so much more. You created a perfect version of the card at a very close inspection point of inches! Truly phenomenal! Thank you for sharing this experience with us! You are truly inspirational and so amazing. All of those supporting you Patreons and sponsors are to be saluted and thanked, Thank You!

[@ProjectMaelstrom]

Totally a success. There's only 1 thing I believe it can be done as improvment. Some dry brushing on the inner part of the portal . All around the rocks and especially on the castle with bright orange and some edging with off white so it will pop-out and stand out. Because right now it really looks a bit toned down

Either the lighting of the castle on the original card is totally crap (which I think is the real reason) or the castle could have done with a slightly lighter tone. It was the first thing I noticed, too. The details on the castle are way more visible on the original card. But still the 3D-card is way cooler. Great project and a great result.

Seeing the amount of work Hansi does being showcased more is great. I’ve come to appreciate how creative he is as well as Martina

[@dancan104]

the both of you are just killing it. it is so fun to see how much the quality of your work has improved, not that it was ever bad.

[@colechristian3765]

Loved getting to see more of Hansi! His energy and contributions to this were awesome

[@Alain.Robert]

We're so lucky to live in an era where we can see amazing talented artists do their magic in their workshop.

The pain of painting could be it’s own show. I loved it

[@Fallub]

Amazing job. What a fantastic diorama. Great to see you get more opportunities for great collaborations. The Martina Ross part was brilliant.

[@Molly-Pop]

Martina is giving full goblin chaos vibes and I'm here for it

[@masapopovic9022]

happy to see hansi being more energetic this looks amazing ❤❤❤

[@cleio81]

Amazing! I love how it literally looks like something straight out of a video game. especially in your fantasy studio.

[@melindarivera6598]

14:02 that ring of fire really was the cool part! That looks awesome! 😊

[@robalineo3228]

You guys didn't succeed at making it look as good as the original, it looks so much better! The temple in the middle really stands out and is so menacing looking in your version. Awesome work guys!

[@garnsguides8305]

Been watching for a long time and never commented before. But my one like was just not enough this time. You've outdid yourself... AGAIN! The Bob Ross parody was fire, literally. And it's great seeing Hansi getting more comfortable in front of the camera. Never stop creating.

[@TheDadWhoPlays]

You two totally nailed it on this one! Such a fun build!

[@Kleytonamor]

Always love a project where we get to see you both working together on a project. This is totally EPIC!!!

[@cloudrin96]

I can't believe you did a WHOLE A** COSPALY for a montage

[@DadlyDude]

The Bob Ross segment was so funny and so well done! Martina is pure gold!

[@Chibihugs]

The mirrors make it seem like you'll be sucked into the portal. You guys seriously brought this to life

[@KyliaSkydancer]

It looks GORGEOUS!! The only thing I would suggest adding is a little flicker. Having especially the fire (but maybe the lava too) have some movement in the light would make it feel so much more dynamic.

I would loooooove to see a magic card done this way too
