Into the Deep | Epoxy Resin Diorama

[@gwiazdapioun2127]

I actually love the tiny bubbles which are left in the resin even after the degassing process, they actually help sell the idea that this is water, rather than a perfectly still and smooth chunk of resin.

[@raymondo162]

i thought the same. in fact it would be cool to introduce bubbles, for example as a column above the diver's head. ( sort of like trapped-bubble glass ) ??

[@aserta]

True, but that's just an aesthetic. It's clear down there. Dead still and clear.

[@deathwolf54]

to me they look like suspended particulates

[@Baylen-g2u]

I think in this diorama especially. Thinking logically the diver would have an oxygen tank meaning they would be breathing out air.

[@capt.peehype]

You don't want resin bubbles in any type of resin pours as the gasses trapped in those bubbles could make it crack in the future or make it turn yellowish

[@Aikurisu]

I feel like this is one of your simpler creations this year yet I'd argue it's one of your best. Its atmosphere alone really captures the mood.

[@raymondo162]

one of your best.......... i'd agree. the rocks and the diver ALL seem to float free - because: no frame

[@MstrCpp]

I dig the choice not to add the light. You have the gap on top so you still get light in the way you initially intended, but the lack of any electronics gives it an elegant simplicity that makes it unique. Another great piece!

[@modelermark172]

I like how you went "Old-School" and scratch built the diver, instead of 3D Printing it. As a sidebar, about the only diver kits I know of are the Heller Frogmen kit, and the frogmen that come with the Monogram UDT Boat - both are in 1/35th scale. Thanks for sharing your skills and imagination, Boylei! 186th Like.

[@marshawargo7238]

I can't believe the ratio between views & Likes!!! How can you watch a Bolie video yet not hit the 👍???

[@daskalosBCE]

This would make an incredible bookend! especially if the other side had something similar but with a monster

[@gmfdp4852]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@blackc1479]

Motion is carried...

[@andyball9872]

You know he’s got a monster one coming!

[@NotaDutchGuy]

I fifth this idea!

[@goldendimons1333]

I appreciate the warning for the jump scare

[@docholliday4546]

Wuss

[@darrylhilbig6459]

​@@docholliday4546, takes one to know one. 🤪

[@jonnyoliveira7]

Is it even a jump scare if you get warned about it?

[@Dreoni_]

Easy mistake to make, but we actually usually dive with "air" tanks (21% oxygen). A pure oxygen tank would be deadly at depth. Great work!

[@iain.sm.c]

That's really interesting. Is the other 79% nitrogen?

[@Dreoni_]

@iain.sm.c Yup! For normal air tanks usually they just put regular "air" with a scuba compressor. For more specialized mixes like nitrox they can change the proportion of oxygen/nitrogen (e.g. 32% O2 68% N) or even put some other gases like helium instead of nitrogen

[@chicgeekery]

Alone in the deep dark water is scary enough without a monster, good call! Eerie, good shading, no extra lighting was perfect.

[@martinm3474]

Still I miss the monster.

[@chriscooper654]

I agree. Gives a touch of awe and mystery, without anything as explicit as a groping tentacle or a pair of glowing eyes under a ledge.

[@chriscooper654]

@@martinm3474 That's fair: Boylei is an amazing critter designer.

[@thomasbraden8242]

Standing it on end totally sells the depth look. Awesome build as usual.

[@Ernzt8]

Sometimes a diorama doesn't need huge monsters to be impressive. Nice job!

[@chriscooper654]

Being a thalassophobe myself, I think this piece invokes a nice mix of suspense and awe. I imagine the diver surviving this particular dive but not without being changed... he left a bit of himself down there, or glimpsed something that will call to him from now on. However long he lives, the deep waters have already marked him as their own.

[@Pineapple_Boi]

The jump scare was hilarious

[@CaseStone-520]

Huh there is no jump scare

[@marshawargo7238]

​@CaseStone-520 Kinda depends on who you're talking to! It wasn't for me, but being that he doesn't usually do that, I'm sure it scared some people. I even had to go back to see the small warning ⚠️!

[@StewartFletcher]

Wait when was the jump scare? I didn't see anything!

[@snowflakee7734]

@@StewartFletcher in the beginning of the video, it said there was a foam jump scare. it was really quick but it's there. idk how people jumped from that tho lol

[@moosedraw3731]

The skill of making that tiny diver is so impressive. My shaky ass hands could never. I bought a 3D printer so I can just print the exact thing I need lmao.

[@itsgrayhour]

I doubt you'll ever see this, but thank you for always making comfort content (at least in my eyes). I've been watching you since early 2022, and it's been so exciting watching your skills improve, and just seeing the evolution of everything. I can always rely on your art to make me feel better :)

[@raymondo162]

boylei vids always make me smile. this is good. . . . . . . . . .

[@elivile.]

9:20 Dunno how to explain it, but I see faces in that shot on the rocks.

[@blivetwidget]

Welcome to pareidolia.

[@JackHackworth-nr7sv]

The curiosity of humans reach infinitely 🪐🛰️🚀

[@shawnpgorman]

This made me think of an idea for a similar diorama build. A diver exploring a wreck, shining a light into a hole in the side, lighting up a giant eye from some creature.

[@TheLord0Ice0Wind]

I second this, little LED work to make the flashlight, an eye cabochan..... that'll be really cool liking

[@DocFleg]

Amazing work as always. Those final shots are so satisfying to me, and all I did was watch you make it. I can't even imagine how they make YOU feel.

[@funwithmadness]

Even though you used acrylic paints on the foam, it was a very good thing to put that ModgePodge on there as a base. That foam will have various gasses in it. So when the resin is added, those gasses would have likely caused a lot of bubbles. Awesome diorama!

[@Logan-u6q4n]

This guy has some great ideas and that’s what makes him one of the best diorama artists on KZbin

[@aFFiSCioNa]

This one was kinda awesome. Probably the best I've seen on this channel for the past 6 month. Simple, but good.

[@mr.g42]

So love it, great idea sticking to no lights!!

[@adamteeee]

I absolutely love how elegant and simple this is. No electrics, the cutout at the top allowing for natural light to pour in, just as if it were a real cave. Also, tiny bubbles still present in the resin, although an error, really help sell this scene. Really lovely stuff 😮

[@marklindsey4112]

Really love the atmosphere of this build. Very simple in it's way, but all the more moody for it. You were right to not put in a light source - the movement of the light across the rock and diver works so well.

[@DiggerPrints0814]

That conversion into the diver was brilliant. So simple, yet convincing.

[@demos235]

Gotta love that Black Magic Basecoat...

[@lilpixie25]

Beautifully simple and breath taking 😊

[@JB-vk8jk]

I love the details and color and how they bring all the relatively simple things to life

[@TheNickness]

I've been watching each and everyone of your videos since a few years and I gotta say, in all its simplicity this is one of your best if not the best work you've made so far in my humble opinion, wish I could buy it and display it in my house!

[@No_pulse_00]

Now that is Pretty. Also with out a direct light source the ambient light that filters in gives a deep water look that is haunting and stunning good job!

[@AndrewKuntzman]

I love how the natural light shines in

[@vladimirpain3942]

This is such a "simple" project and yet result is so amazing!

[@rohsek7298]

sometimes less is more, and this is a brilliant example of that, good work, boylei 😄

[@RolandKoller90]

It has to feel so comforting knowing you can create projects that you love and get paid to do so. It’s a great time to be alive. Love all of your work man 👍🏼 1M incoming!

[@MM-dk7gt]

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Awesome imagination and skills. 👍

[@Enoxix.]

Stunning as usual!

[@garzilla7123]

It's a beautiful piece, it's kinda weird not seeing any monsters in it, but I guess for the diver over coming his fear of the Deep Water, that the Abyss itself is his own monster. Very Cool Build. 🙂👍👍👍

[@aintsam9952]

Simple, yet, a beautiful piece of art.

[@R3AP9]

Honestly those tiny air bubbles that survived made it look so much better

[@Thor-Torpedo25]

I really like the paint job on the rocks, simple but realistic

[@MatiasIbar]

Terrific job. I agree with the comments about it being one of your best dioramas. I love it!

[@Aeldaed]

It is definitely one of the most speaking and spectacular dioramas I’ve ever seen you do, absolute masterpiece

[@sw33n3yto00]

Holy hell, Man!! That is a wicked clear pour!! 😮😮😮

[@garybuettner7920]

The vibe on this live is AMAZING. Your videos make my Sunday. I felt lost while you were on vacation.

[@jhlrw]

This is one of the best youtube channels I’ve ever come across. I admire your work greatly!

[@mitchelmcarthur1662]

Super cool effect with the natural light cascading through the opening, you always seem to know when a build needs LEDs or not

[@vascotoys]

What a fun build! Love the simplicity of this and always enjoy your resin pour dioramas.

[@small.and.even.smaller]

A great step-by-step process. Beautiful art work 👌👍

[@DannyDalgety]

Great creation. love the aesthetic it brings

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

Gorgeous! Leaving out the light was definitely the right call.

[@iain.sm.c]

Damn, Boylei. The eerie atmosphere and lighting in this is spectacular. I'm obsessed with that diver.

[@stevieandthebarbies]

Your deep resin pours have improved so much since the first few efforts - they’re almost an anti-climax these days!

[@qalak7782]

This is awesome! I love the simplicity and the scratch built diver

[@josiahducharme838]

Stunning colors and simplicity. My favorite yet!

[@p.strobus7569]

This being Boylei and the word FEAR being in all caps, I was primed for the monster. Glad this diver just gets to dive and explore.

[@joeduffy3376]

Love this build. FYI - scuba divers don’t pack pure oxygen in their cylinders. It’s typically just compressed air, and if the dive plan is to dive to certain depths, a mixture of helium is added to replace some of the nitrogen to help curb the effects of nitrogen narcosis. An intoxicating effect of breathing large amounts of compressed nitrogen at depths beyond 70m I believe for most people. Divers like this guy shouldn’t be alone, should have a light and 2 backups, and a dive line which would help him relocate to the cave entrance.

[@matthewwestfall4753]

Really like this one. Nice job.

[@zeeaffanzeecrafts5238]

Looks amazing!!!You do a very good piece of art...

[@0MG.N0]

Looks awesome!!

[@purplesharky1118]

Dang man, this is one of your best yet!

[@rccarguy3696]

I really like how you made a WW II Infantryman into a scuba diver. And no monster to spoil his swim!

[@abaddonarts1129]

I think it's awesome to interact with Thallassophobia and other fears with art, and as always the final visual is amazing! Resin pours are always super fun to watch too, I hope to work with similar project one day when I have enough spare income to consistently buy stuff to work with.

[@MarkleFarkle]

how do you not have more views, this is simply incredible

[@edanwallgejw]

You did a perfect job on that resin! It's beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed your craftiness as usual!:)

[@WdyWP]

That looks amazing!!! Would be great to put it on a shelf with a masked small light shining in.

[@AustinKelly-ti1hs]

SUBNAUTICA MENTIONED, VERY BASED

[@CaptainFalcon92]

Subnautica forever anchored my thalassophobia.

[@50goingon15]

I really look forward to these Sunday night videos. Excellent work as always!

[@dirtywhitellama]

That turned out fantastic! I don't suggest conquering a fear of water with cave diving, though. Caves are terrifying and dangerous places even without water.

[@AvonofTalamh]

I think this might be my favorite diorama of yours.... Ever. I would love another deep water diorama of a giant boylei eating a diver..

[@lionessoftor4139]

Super eerie and cool. I also have a fear or deep water. One of my biggest fears is bodies of water underground like in caves and such. Wonderful work.

[@Juan_Doooh]

Now that’s nice work.

[@TheOfficialBexis]

I really like how you edited this video. The music is fun and it has a slightly new style compared to some of your other videos. Keep it up! I love it

[@ShinobiAlphaOG]

Boylei video, Lets GOOOO!

[@graefx]

The diver makes me think of the opening of Johnny Quest and Eternaut. The way you did the light has a real romantic quality to it

[@isaacchamp-mino4817]

Day two of asking you to add a mountain man class to your game, it would be like a cross between a barbarian and a ranger. An incredible understanding and respect for nature combined with the ability to wield an axe with cold blooded intention. Also, can you please make a diorama for him with a warg, either fighting it or walking with it. Love your work btw

[@bradleywaterhouse790]

Beautiful! Just something about the lighting and colours you've used!

[@ClarkeDesign]

Superb kit bash for the diver - love it

[@macavera]

If you have silicone molds, you can pour your extra resin into them to create rocks

[@TheJtpond]

Felt like classic Boylei! Loved it ~

[@carrie4910]

Ohhh nice….and creepy. That lighting effect in the glamour shots was awesome

[@later_daze_4080]

[@marckoolwijk2913]

Beautiful.

[@midnightwolf7417]

So cool and pretty

[@firstnamelastname4752]

I love how you mention the breathing filter multiple times, because it was absolutely my first thought. So many people on KZbin filling their lungs with carcinogens.

[@fredburley9512]

Superb. Like the lighting of it and no giant crustacean monsters coming after him. 👍

[@barrydevlinred]

This looks soooo good mate well done that truly looks bad ass. With a lil creative camera work you'd never know it was a diorama. 🤯

[@JTSterling]

Awesome video and even more awesome diorama! Your videos are just the highlight of my week whenever they come out
