I Made this Malenia VS Radahn Diorama

"Corpse after cropse I have left in my wake"
Ya'll.... this is my absolute favourite thing I have EVER created on this channel. I put so much into painting and making this tiny Caelid battle scene to show the Malenia vs Radahn fight.
Using all kinds of techniqes I've picked up from various artists online from using acetone on XPS foam to create the scarlet rot effect, epoxy resin swamp puddles, clay sculpting Maelnia's bloom tendrils.... a whole HEAP of stuff was used in the making of this one. So I really hope you all enjoy this video as I had an absolute blast putting it all together!
My idea was to create the moment as Malenia blooms and I wanted to make the scene look likes its just started to rot from the infamous and deadly Scarlet Rot... and it turned out better than I imagined.

This page has allowed me to share my journey with learning to 3D print and paint models from my favourite games, so I wanted to share the process with all of you! From painting and collecting all the models from the Dark Souls Boardgame, the Bloodborne Boardgame and also printing dozens of Elden Ring Characters, Dark Souls Figures, Bloodborne Models, Sekiro Statues and also Fromsoftware Dioramas, I'm trying to improve my painting skills with every video and I'd love for you to join! And with every new model... the collection keeps growing!

"Ratskin flesh" is such a fuckin metal name for paint lmao. Love it.

[@trollfearce29]

Your editing is so good! You need more subs.

[@darksoulsmodels]

Thank you! I always really love when people appreciate the editing 😅

[@anecro]

I just think there are a couple of inaccuracies, without even questioning the level of detail and level of expertise you show. Caelid is largely brown, even more so during their fight, when it is shown to be a dusty, dirty wasteland, at least where they fought. Radahn's swords have very fine golden designs on them, they aren't uniformly black. The scarlet rot, while it is a very dark brownish red in its liquid form, is usually surrounded by pink, orange and ash white tones, ignoring flowers and whatnot. What I'm trying to say is that this looks way more like blood rather than the scarlet rot, which is fine but still bothers my wrinkled lore-head brain lmao. Now admittedly this is more of a nitpick on my part, but the swords in his arena sort of clump together in circles. Overall, this is still fantastic in its presentation and detail. You're the best of the best when it comes to coloring work on KZbin, at least from the KZbinrs focusing on Fromsoft games that I've seen. I just wish the model they made included Radahn's horse, he goes nowhere without him lol.

[@revengance4149]

yeah but in the story trailer you see them fighting in a flat wasteland, and by the time Malenia charges at him Radahn has picked up his swords as well, so it's really not supposed to be lore or story accurate, and just depict the idea/vibe of their fight. Besides he was mostly freeballing it especially on the arena and people who make adaptations can and should make such alterations. call it artistic freedom. I say this as someone who's also into ER lore but a difference in th color of the scarlet rot doesn't bother me. I can relate to you though because I was thinking "are his swords supposed to be turned this way when they're in the ground? wouldn't radahn have to spin them 180 degrees when picking them up with grav magic or when they're in his hands"

[@Valkyrie2421]

Your creativity never stops always coming up with something new 😊 I love to see it

[@jeroenthelord]

Am i the only one that expected a raid add after 'you know whats not boring'?

[@jm_r245]

it would look even better if Radahn is about 5 or 8 times larger than Melania

[@vitonevarez8059]

Thank you for making these! You have taught me so much with painting! I appreciate it ❤

[@cmattss4]

This video made me actually set up my pritner again after like 8 months of not having the motivation. Incredible stuff!

[@darksoulsmodels]

That’s amazing!

[@Finding_Arcadia]

I've been binging these episodes for the last few days and absolutely loving it. Ive watched a lot of these "model-tubers" before, but something about your style and theming id very encouraging to the point thay im planning on making a diorama of my d&d game to gift to the DM. Honestly just never saw enough non-40k content to realize it was a realistic option lol When is Lord of Cinder ep coming out 👀
