Yes, me wanting to get the game so I can play in the customizing part of the game, not even play the game. I don't have time for this game at this time though... LOL

[@SabakuNoShi]

Sadly I don't have time for playing games no more, but watching this video makes me want to customize my laptop somehow haha [sadly my pc died so... this is what I got instead] Love the video!~ 🤩

[@AnnaMae41194]

in the future before you paint on apoxie that is cured, you should add a small bit of superglue anywhere that it touches a really smoth surface as every once in a while it doesnt stick very well. like on an acrylic plate. just something ive learned while working with it.

[@nauchnik]

crazy? yes .. but what if this lizard is inserted into the throat of an electronic cigarette? so that a start on the crop .. would she exhale a little smoke?

You get the urge to work on the gaming machine so you can play rainbow pride flag games? Why don't you exercise or do something productive instead? Anybody can stick panels to a PC. Next

[@randomman7983]

​@@ArCher11-iq9coisn't that already productive? like building a gaming machine or customizing a pc seems productive to me (also playing rainbow flag games seems cool to me) - just like how you said anybody could stick panels to a pc, anybody can also start exercising just as easy :v)... but in reality both are just as productive and both have their own set of difficulties. so let's not downplay people's creative urge, because you might have your own and why not start that project that you've been wanting to do? that is all from me, hope you a great day ^^

[@kimberlygibson5664]

I think you should make a new glove with the pinkie finger. You already have the cyberpunk themed one, maybe you could do a medieval fantasy one. Maybe the finger could be like wood being held together with elven magic or something.

[@RaegenNight1]

I actually made a thumb out of wood. It doesn't hold up well if you use it on a regular basis. Metal is too heavy. Hard plastics, covered in silicone, are the best material.

[@miraculousdream7028]

That is so freaking awesome! Can we just appreciate how much time Marina and Hans take making these beautiful builds and also filming the procedures for us to watch? It's so beautiful! You guys did an amazing job! Epic video as always!

[@miraculousdream7028]

Also can I just add, I love how epic the soundtracks you guys use in your videos are! They add so much more to the videos!

[@frankvanrijn964]

As a PC building guy I must say this looks absolutely amazing! Very well done, the dragon looks out of this world and the lighting makes it even more intimidating! I love it!

[@ArCher11-iq9co]

As a simp i must say this was amazing and nothing else that any designer couldnt do if you paid them enough

[@e.m.3081]

After 4 plus years, you have never ceased to amaze. I am in awe of the extreme artistry you possess.

[@clementinadrumond5745]

Creativity too, right? It's a dragon! It's such an unusual thing...

[@ditteni15]

I love the live drawing/visualization of your plan while you were talking next to it in the video!

[@thevikinggamer454]

This is probably the coolest PC I've ever seen. The dragon is just amazing, and your talent is awsome. Keep up the good work

[@v.v365]

I know you’ve made rogue armor, mage armor, royal-looking armor, armor for your dog, but have you ever considered fairy armor? Crystals, stone, wood, leaves, natural materials for the aesthetic of fairies, but a full set of armor with a pair of wings? Would love to see your take on this sort of thing

[@catxsoho]

Uhhh I would love to see Martina's interpretation of this style of armor

[@mimya26]

This is probably the coolest PC I've ever seen. The dragon is just amazing.

[@sushimampferin9350]

While you did the spikes at first, before it got painted, i had the feeling this could also be a really f*cking beautiful iced landscape. Just imagine this whole PC in white/blue and the lava and fire would be kinda purple (more magical). Just imagine! Really good job, it looks amazing!

[@LilBanbozie]

I just realized Martina's literally giving us the shovel talk when she holds the trowel like a mic.

[@ChibiChula]

The last @Jazza video I watched was him making a cool glowing sword (his most recent video, lol) and now I'm wondering if he was preparing for @Nerdforge to bring this dragon to life for an epic battle, lol. 😂

[@leonardosuarezsanchez3645]

Props to Hansee for assembling the thing to a functioning state. I've seen many people mess a pc build. Amazing art I want a dragon on my pc too

[@Fyreflier]

Tip for Apoxie Sculpt (if you didn't already know it) from someone who watches a lot of doll customisation videos: smoothing with wet fingers while it's still very soft makes it very smooth and shiny, then letting it get semi-cured before carving and shaping makes detail especially sharp

[@OhPervyOne]

This is a neat tip. Would you then dry it with a fan or a hair-dryer or just leave it to set and sit... and just wait, because the extra time is worth it? Or how about a dehydrator or even a sun oven? I've been looking at getting a sun oven for off-grid cooking (and Summer heat), so when I see pottery videos I wonder if the sun oven could be used for faster drying of the clay and/or glaze before baking. In fact, I wonder if the sun oven could actually get hot enough to bake pottery, etc. (I don't know enough about pottery to even guess.) What's your opinion and what's your technique?

[@loptseldr]

i discovered you through a short clip that popped up on facebook and i am so glad i clicked and discovered your youtube channel, you never fail to amaze me and make me want to learn how to make such cool stuff. you really do inspire me! hopefully when i finally have my own place to live (rn im in supported housing with others in one room, but i will be bidding for a one bed flat) i can learn such things. i already do wood burning, diamond art, restoring small things, cross stich, draw chibi art , video making and writing but id love to learn how to do Propper sculpting (ive done a small amount in the past but it wasn't the best haha) and resin. my dad has done soem and has his own train trach world in his garage and a man cave haha where we both spend hours in working on stuff as we both love to do such things so of course when i do have my own place probably my main room will just be my man cave haha XD

[@m1u2j1o9]

you're such a gem. watching you work always brightens up my day.

[@betsyferra6644]

sometimes I'm hesitant to click on a creative video because of my internal artist block guilt, but watching your videos are truly so inspiring and I'm left wanting to create something after every video so thank you

[@fridaohman5974]

I never truly know what kind of creative spiral into madness my ADHD will take me on after watching all these amazing crafts. It's just instant seratonin. Just this week I tea-stained papers and made fantasy maps and rune charts. Thanks for always being inspiring! ☀

[@aynain1810]

Whoahhh sounds cool!

[@creepycutiecrafty6637]

What an awesome build! I LOVE the sculpt and the LED lava, sooo good! Apoxie Sculpt is amazing! I’ve used it a few times, and the only drawback so far is the smell while you mix it! I love the finish achieved with the dragon’s scales and the rocks, it’s so impressive.

[@istephano2207]

This is the casemod of the century! I had goosebumps the whole time amazing work!

[@felixpetittjr.6472]

We have you on the big screen for this one. My grandson wants to say that our skinks have feathers on their feet to help them dig through the sand. My grand-daughter just told me that such a noble dragon would have whiskers to detect wind change. We live this video!!!

[@Tali_the_Dragon]

As a Dragon, I fully approve of this build. Well Done

[@ishtarelisheba]

DAMN. That's a beautiful computer. Amazing work!! Also, it makes sense that the dragon looked bird-like pre-teeth. Lizard, dinosaur-y, bird relative and all. The bird feeling to it before just means you did a great job with the sculpt! :D

[@tetsuo8838]

Martina your talent has no boundaries! Absolutely awesome what you have done with this PC case build. ❤❤...and Hansi too. 😊😊

[@kentgladden4316]

The perfect build for the inevitable movie about a demonic video game that actually turns gamers' comps into portals to Hell. Might be a graphic novel in there somewhere, too. I applaud your commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. Exemplary detail work here. **Side Note:** A 6' long full dragon build, that's animatronic/robotic, & that you could walk on a leash... w/ this kind of detail... you would OWN ComicCon. C'mon now, you know you want to... :)

[@domolutz]

This is so cool! I'm so impressed how Martina always find a way to go out of her comfort zone to learn new things and you totally nailed that dragon! As an animator I would love to see the dragon head be positioned a little more diagonally that would give it more intesity in its pose so it seems like it's rly screaming at us! Looks amazing!

[@chriscasey7113]

Hey Hanzi, you are a mad genius. How you make all the tech work inside the awesome sculptures and models is really impressive.

[@joeystett]

[@louiseventer6580]

I love your channel and creativity. As a teenager, my first fantasy series I read was the Dragonlance books by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. So, for me, that was always how dragons were supposed to look like. You captured it perfectly and transported me 30 years into the past.❤❤

[@dmstevo3610]

❤ those books. Classics!!

[@ShrekLaBeouf]

I'm unsure whether she mentioned it. But if anyone is wondering, that's a Lian Li O11 Air Mini. It's an excellent case, especially for mATX builds with lots of 140 mm fans. I have a white O11 Air Mini, and I love it.

[@settiation9825]

you're so insane, love your work and the way you put your videos together

[@gautamsujith5958]

This is one of the coolest pc I've seen. You could also take it a step further by creating a fog effect on the acrylic sheet behind the head to make the red seem foggy and the dragon is coming from a deep cave

[@Chromaz]

Imagine if those fans on the front blew air outwards and there was a tiny steam generator inside so it looked like the dragon was coming out of smoke

[@jlv61560]

Interesting music choice for the plastic removal! 😂 Brilliant final outcome -- what artists!

[@OhPervyOne]

Wasn't that part just... perfectly satisfying, tho?

[@grootjnr]

Think this is my favourite build yet! So cool the final effect. Brilliant

[@aaronbrenkus9126]

I love all of your stuff, but this one feels a bit incomplete when you look at it straight on, like the dragon head is hanging in front of the fans but there is no indicator of a body or possibly a whole dragon coming from the system... maybe a painting on the plexi that the head is attached to so that there is a bit of perspective? or possibly an infinity box type thing between the dragon and the fans? The case and the sculpts are 100% amazing, I also love the warm white and the way the lava came out! I'm a freak for RGB in builds (not PC as much though) and I think it came out great. Thank you for all the awesome builds and the art you put out for all of us youtubers to enjoy! You guys ROCK!!!

[@jediwildstar]

Wow... just... AWESOME... the dragon is perfect... the scenary is absurd.... the lava with the led strips... so perfect... the integration with the case was genius... AND THE BEST PART IS... the case and the airflow are totally fine... we see so many ppl doing a good job about customizing a pc case, but end up with a furnace, eventually cooking all the components... this is form and function in a holly matrimony... again... wonderful job...

[@flint8979]

My God, this looks soo cool. And I must say I am enjoying the Game. I also must say for someone who said they have only made one dragon before, you nailed it.

[@charlizesalisbury9913]

About the "something about it just screams bird", It's the jaw. With reptiles, the lower jaw is usually smaller than the top jaw. Birds tend to have similar jaw sizes. To make it more reptilian and more dragon like, make the bottom jaw fit inside the top jaw like how human teeth fit (slight overbite is perfect). That being said, I loved this build. I always love watching your channel and whenever work isn't too hectic, I like to watch your videos and live vicariously through you and your projects haha.

[@getjinxed6128]

Omg it looks FANTASTIC (and I really love the horns details for some reason 😳) ❤ I also usually spend more time in the customizer than in game I see what you mean 😂 Important tip for when you use Apoxie Sculpt though : please wear a mask, people using it often without one ended up with pretty bad health issue on the long term - and we would all be super sad if it ever happened to you 🤕

First time seeing your video and now I'm an instant subscriber! Great editing from the video, music, and your funny too! PC is such a BEAST!

[@danlewis7707]

Wow! This is so freaking cool! I like to use different types of animals in combination when designing a dragon, scales, skeletal structure, musculature and wings (alligator, cat/lizard/horse, hose/cat and bat) and then a bit of wolf throne in to break the "bird look". I even add some praying mantis sometimes. It's all about creating a sense that sells the danger without it coming across as if the dragon were a vicious dumby.
