I'm glad to see a channel branch out and cover different things that are still related to the normal material. Makes the channel more interesting. For me, the opening scene of A Link to the Past where Link is still in bed is a key scene for me. It was the first time I really noticed background sound effects (like the rain outside), and that sound getting louder when you go outside blew me away! I looked for things like that in every game I played after that.

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy! That is such a great scene. I agree that'd be an awesome scene for one of these things.

[@jay-moq]

Having reviews of the next RG-XX device is good, but not that much different from the next channel. Content like this, refreshingly different but still retro related makes this channel stand out. Thanks, subbed.

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks so much for saying so. This sort of video never does well, but I love making them and I will keep on doing it!

[@sda2911]

Honestly I like both kinds of videos!

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

How do you dare to say something like it?! This is one of the few places were we can watch funny reviews of this pretty much same content, sometimes with some good scripted drama or something like it, and still learn how to do astonishing dancing steps and be a magnet for pretty girls. lol

[@paulgarcia6259]

​@@TechDweeb Your camping videos are lovely too.

[@randomcommenterurl]

How about adding a tiny LED for campfire?

[@TechDweeb]

I wish I did it

[@YaakovFLP]

@@TechDweeb you could still add one to your next one, if its fire make it flash

[@svcross-do]

Definitely a link to the past world map.

[@MrSujano]

WOW! The final product turned out great! Awesome choice in art, and awesome talent!!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for tuning in my dude! This was a fun one :D

[@kennethd4958]

This is the content that separates you from a lot of other tech channels.. besides the cool theme of your channel in general. These types of videos are what keep things fresh and keep me coming back!

[@Reject1977]

I would definitely make a RE2 or Doom 64 thingy ma bob. Those 2 games have a special place in my heart.

[@BlastCorpse]

I'm definitely gonna do this! 💜 I already know what I'm gonna do. SNES Zelda: Link to the Past. When Link is walking away from the Master Sword after putting it back on its pedistal in the Lost Woods at the end of the game.

[@TechDweeb]

That is such a great idea for one of these things

[@Surai00]

You definitely know how to make a beautiful print, draw, and use (non-Apple) software to make art. The blacks and the color balance is no amateur work there! We love it! Retro-slash-Art content is a wonderful way to go! Your explanation is very concise! I bet you're a professional artist. An art teacher, perhaps. Or, maybe a graphics designer or a sign maker. You're very talented, friend!

[@edtuckerartist]

Tip If you don't have a printer no problem, open image in editing software and zoom to the size required then use tracing paper over your screen to draw (with a soft 3b pencil), cut out, place on card and draw again in colour with markers/felt tipped pens or whatever works. might need to separate the background elements and draw them individually. *this will take a bit more effort and time than printing!

[@Deubler]

I hope this video performs well stastically and engagment-wise. This is absolutely the kind of content I want to see more of. Little personal touches like making your review of a device noir, or an opportunity to express the vibe of the hobby without having to spring for a device that's a crap shoot as a gift option. I'm hyped to clash up some of my favorite match ups in GGX2 or Melee from way back when with the boys for Christmas this year.

[@TechDweeb]

It won't do well, but that's all good. I don't make vids like this to be top performers. I make em because it's one of my hobbies and it makes it fun. This is a video for the people who are into this sort of thing, and I'll always make stuff like this for those fine dweebs

[@playerVShobbies]

I had a great aunt who did 3D papercraft pictures as her hobby. So neat to see a modern version using pixelart from video games. Great tutorial!

[@daniltaru]

This is truly an awesome DIY project, and you nailed it!

[@SicketMog]

See this is the type of content (besides the normal stuff) I subbed for. 👍

[@GameTechTalk]

A TechDweeb video is like engaging yourself in a waiting line at Walt Disney, once you click on the video, you're engaged and there's not stepping out of the line, you're in for the ride (pun intended). The one huge difference is that the entire part is magical and amazing, not a second goes to waste. I love your stuff Dweeb! ❤

[@TechDweeb]

Aw you're a peach Klef! 😽

[@the_swest]

I just made 2! 100/10, would totally recommend. Will post them in the discord shortly :D

[@complementarychaos]

TD, this is DIY GOLD! Thank you for this!!

[@rafaelgarcia5388]

A refreshing video away from the anbernic constant handhel release..thx dweeb

[@AngelPuntero]

I didn’t expect this and it absolutely blew my mind. I’ll forgive you for all the latest yet another handheld reviews. You have something special, even if you can only let your creativity run wild every few videos , that’s still enough to be worth it to follow your channel ❤

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks so much for saying so!

[@KevinAdams06]

Amazing project. Think my son and I will make something similar, but use a family portrait, and give it to my wife as a Christmas gift.

[@ajthefunkmonster4767]

Semi-coincidentally, I've just gotten into Final Fantasy VII this past February and it's very special to me; it also has an iconic campfire scene

[@DeathJerrie]

You did it, you've inspired me. When I try myself, I think I'll choose a moment from "Desperados - Wanted: Dead or Alive", a PC game from 2001. It was the first game I really cared about.

[@TechDweeb]

Niiiice!

[@Max-fy4rc]

Merci!

[@joeblow229]

This is so cool, thanks for posting this! Not sure about other retro-gamers, but I'm also in to making things and crafting. Everything from high-tech to low-tech, I just enjoy making stuff. This seems like a perfect cross-over video between my hobbies :)

[@gordobot24]

Really enjoyed this episode. Excellent project idea.

[@antimatt_r]

Hell yeah Chrono Trigger, favorite game ever. My last girlfriend bought me a shadowbox of that scene. It's iconic

[@MarioTGP]

the "tech dweeb best retro guy" one is the best

[@dellyyop]

I love this kind of creative video from you so much better than yet another review of a device that companies send you for free.

[@fletcherchambers7175]

Coolio. LOVE the diversity of your content.

[@qhodave]

I made this exact chrono trigger scene a couple of years ago. Hangs above my desk and is awesome

[@qhodave]

Also interesting you opted for "no smoke" with the fire

[@TechDweeb]

So I basically stole your idea is what you're saying 😂

[@qhodave]

I rather see it as one more imaginary friendship point 😊 Also consider using a non reflective glass plate as a cover against dust.

[@carwynvan]

Mortal Kombat, and having various body parts exploding into the very very front.

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

That's an awesome idea!

[@Reed-Publications]

FF6 Opera scene where Celes throws the bouquet of flowers would make for an epic shadow box scene.

[@zek62482]

The opening duel when you turn on Ninja Gaiden would be cool. The underwater tunnel cracking/breaking in Super Metroid... maybe the view from the top of Spiral Mountain on Banjo Kazooie? Uh oh.... I'm gonna make a million of these things!

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

You always can sell some if at least you have fun doing it and that (only do, not keep) felt enough to fill your needs.

[@RandySloan]

Man you rock! And I'm with the rest of the KZbin Community more of this stuff please! Maybe like torn down retro art schematics would be nice

[@markalexander5578]

Now I have a fun activity to do with the kids this weekend. Thanks Dweeby Techman. Edit: I love the art style you use. It is very cartoony and whimsical.

[@Paekabou]

Amazing results! Really me in the mood to get creative too... hmm ok since you asked. I'll list a few that spring to mind: Thief, Cannon Fodder, Command and Conquer, Tekken.. so many games need immortalising in cardboard!

[@jimkincaidz]

This is awesome. I just told my wife I wanted the Chrono Trigger one the other day. I've wanted it forever. I just might do this now. The only thing I want to do differently is to see if I can add an orangey flickering LED behind the fire. Maybe a rechargeable battery or USB powered. Anyway, yeah, awesome. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@dmo848]

Love diy projects. Don't matter what it is I'll figure out how to do it. Learned wood working last year

[@johannab3668]

Came here to comment how much I loved this video! Such a unique addition to your channel, I love it and now I really want to make one of these myself! I only found your channel recently and I find everything about it so charming. From the carefully arranged "film sets" that are really aesthetically pleasing, to the great review content and now this really cool DIY idea - it's perfect. Great timing for the holidays too!

[@pandaoflove7410]

Oh my days. Yes. Glad you made the decision to try something like this. ❤❤❤

[@danielhulan3058]

I love this art style and this method of making art. I'm gonna try this tech dweeb. I swear!

[@glennmatthews2796]

Great video, always been impressed with the artistic style and production of your videos and it's fantastic to see you sharing your artistic flair with something we can make at home and be proud of! MGS would be my game of choice for a picture, just got to decide which scene, sounds like a great excuse to play it again!

[@vereor_nox]

I still remember playing Chrono Trigger back in the summer of 1995. It’s one of my favorite games of all time!

[@diogoepronto]

I've been looking for a while for a tutorial like this, so thank you so much for this. I would actually like it very much if you made this type of tutorials a regular thing on the channel

[@Nobody-my7kj]

Definitely gonna try the classic shovel knight campfire scene I think it'll be GREAT

[@BunnyRabbit.]

I always wanted art tutorials you because your art skills are really great!

[@big-mart]

Blessed with an extra cozy video from Mr. Dweeb. Just what I needed after this tough week. 🙏

[@TechDweeb]

Hope next week is better for ya buddy

[@hetoriaansverbond5944]

It's official: your and Russ' channel became my two favourites. Good video!

[@lukasbarros6143]

Absolutely amazing and refreshing content!

[@mvanalst2003]

I might be the least artistic person ever. But I absolutely love this! I would love to see more content like this.

[@TheRealChristmasWaluigi]

0:13 Mr Tech'd Weeb where can I buy this glorious Masterpiece?? I would spare no expense into buying this wonderful article.

[@mobypixel]

Fantastic project! Shining Force 2 would look great in one of these.

[@valeryisfreedom]

Hi Dweeb, I also finished chrono trigger this year for the first time while mom was in the hospital. I got a anbernic sp, so when i stayed there i played for hours. I love this game, helped me get through this process. Lovely to see this craft, i would love to make one traveling the map with the epoch ❤

[@SNKev411]

Yo techdweeb , thank you for this video. I told my brother that I was gonna do one of these portraits for him cause I’m good at cutting things with X-Acto knife.

[@TechDweeb]

Be careful! Bandaids don't come with your channel membership!

[@SNKev411]

@ lol I’ll try to be careful thanks for this awesome video again my brother

[@galacticus81]

I am really impressed with the result, such a great idea! With content like this, the channel gains even more significance for me, I love it!

[@tbatrics]

I've always wanted something like this, but never thought I could do it myself. Thanks!

[@sahamal_savu]

Dude, you are a friggin' artist! That's why we love you ❤ I'm definitely doing something like this, just for myself, with a scene from Final Fantasy and Zelda. Thanks for being awesome and being my buddy for a few minutes every week haha 😄

[@draadhaai]

Woah! this is supercool! Also, I now know of a gift to make for myself AND the missus :D . Thnx techdweeb!

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

Thank you for going into the details in photoshop, that's going to be a big help when my daughter and I make a few of these together.

[@3amAfterlife]

This is super cute! I love your aesthetic for your stuff, and you have a nice voice too :D. Plz more crafts

[@suhtangwong]

Glad you got into chrono trigger! One heck of a game.

[@prestonwood4558]

Fantastic, thx for this! Love the new content!

[@retro-joe]

Wow, what an artist this looks amazing dude! 🎉

[@Bits-n-Bytes1409]

This was an awesome video 😃. I love the top 5 hidden gems, all the reviews of new handheld and mini pc's but something like this is so different and at the same time fits the channel like a glove 😁. Awesome job TechDweeb 😎

[@telboy007]

Aha! The chronotrigger one is really excellent.

[@VRBug]

I’ll never make them but love watching the process ❤

[@piepie5285]

YES.... finally...something new...❤

[@LoboDeWelfare559]

Sweet! I'm thinking Ghosts & Goblins for my LoboDen! 🤘🐺🤘

[@Athibz]

Love this!

[@michaelmirrorcle9779]

This was so cool! Definitely wanna do this. I'd probably use Gorilla Glue double stick tape for this to avoid needing to cute cardboard.

[@jdawg_razman]

This is awesome, I always loved the look of these things and this showed me that I could totally make one myself.

[@suhtangwong]

This is awesome! The real ones are sorta pricey, so this makes it great.

[@svenstylesz]

This is awesome!

[@Luaponyt]

Great vid!

[@crystal_is_cozy]

I love these kinds of videos from you

[@TechDweeb]

And I love makin' em, so expect more!

[@TheMailman88]

Ooo, this is perfect for wall art in a game den!

[@anderssorenson9998]

What a fun idea. I would choose a scene from Abe's Oddysee or Exodus on the PS1. The way the game was designed each scene was its own shadow box.

[@rayanhafeez1608]

You should totally make this into a business!

[@fullyproblematic]

This is so cool! I'm going to have to bring out the Gimp (skills) and try this! I did a similar thing as your black edge coloring to all of my (yes all) cardboard tokens from the X-Wing Miniatures game with paint "markers". Took a long time and several coats each, but the color matched and shiny edges look great, and the cardboard tokens will be much more durable. Well, off to do a Blaster Master...Or maybe Metal Warriors shadowbox!

[@goodbeershow]

Great Christmas Idea. I am going to make a shadowbox fruitcake for all my loved ones.

[@christophergaus3996]

You have the bestest videos ❤

[@cannedletuce]

Now I have a new project to work on. Especially as I'm still riding the UFO-50 roller coaster. lots of potential there.

[@CobraF1]

Super cool video! I love the creativity. Somehow this video made me wanna paint miniatures again lol.

[@Qolos]

I want to mix stuff up. One of the first ideas that occurs to me is to grab some of my favorite characters from Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Samurai Showdown, and such then stick them onto a Smash Bros level.

[@Eight-Bit-Hustler]

Wow, Nice work! I think I just discovered the perfect gift to give my little brother to go with his new retro handheld this year! I was also just thinking you could probably either place some kinda little Christmas tree bulb or find some kinda little yellow or orange LED light to take out of something and place it behind your campfire and power it with a little AAA battery pack or something to give your shadow box a neat lighting effect and make your campfire look like it’s actually glowing!? 🤔 That would be a whole project in itself, but you never know it might actually look pretty cool?

[@Palmwedler92]

A Metroid Fusion scene with LED's would be awesome.

[@TheBrotherGrim]

This is pretty awesome. I've always wanted to try my hand at this

[@nekokna]

ohh excellent video i freaking love those 2.5 d thingus

[@humblemudgames]

YO I actually was thinking about taking this up as a hobby Dweeb! Thank you!!

[@VladlustTV]

This is freaking awesome! I'm definitely making one of these when I have the time

[@X862go]

Very well done!

[@MarkMark]

ooooh i see some earthbound pixel art in my future. sir, you are a true artist. and an educator.

[@MadDuck84]

Love the creativity! I got into cross stitch awhile back but fell off it. this is inspiring me to get back to stitching a scene from Link's Awakening :)

[@darkdagon6]

Beautifull video

[@karlomagnoguadalupe4843]

Love the Chrono Trigger 🤔

[@sultaz]

I'm really enjoying these videos you're making that deviate from game or handheld reviews but stay with the retro game theme. Also, because of your TrimUI Brick video, I'm waiting for mine to be delivered.

[@the1ucidone]

That's freaking awesome dude!

[@golvellius6855]

Thanks for the idea!

[@charlesclark6513]

Thanks for this it's a wonderful idea
