1:28 “I’m a little rusty on my canvas painting” *proceeds to create a beautiful painting*

It's definitely beautiful! If you have an artist's eye, however, you can notice the mistakes a lot easier than the average person. It's still an amazing piece, but I think the flaws add to its beauty. Art is a wonderful thing!

As an American, I'm just loving watching people I know finally have the fact that this is the story Dragon Ball is based on click in their head heh. "Wait! He's basically Goku?!" Noooo, Goku is basically him. Put some respect on the OG's name. Also running a table top RPG campaign where one of my players characters is based on the Monkey King (or at lest if he was reincarnated in more modern times as someone who thought for most of their life they were just a normal person until reality gave him a wake up call heh).

I think you caught the main theme of The Monkey King quite well: Life is a battle against hazy monstrous forces, armed only with the biggest stick we can find.
@notfeedynotlazy5 ай бұрын
You forget the _other one_ of Wukong's secret weapons: a frightening lack of thought on the further consequences of his action's direct consequences. Which translates into a great wilingness for hitting stuff with that big stick. Not even saying this in jest 😀

From my experience it can work but only if you limit yourself in how much of it you do. The miniature modellers probably have it a tad easier than some other hobbies due to the scale (quite literally lol). I knew of a guy who could make tons of cash but he refuses to do it because he knows he couldnt deliver the quality he strives for if he's put on a time limit as it inevitably would be. There's a lot of factors that go into it but I personally strive to make props for a living too if possible :)

Actually, I quit pursing art as a job because it really was just a hobby. You can like the work that you do, but work is work. Never turn a hobby into work... just work in a field you're interested in. That's why I do science now lol. I still make a lot of art, but.. it's just for me, for fun. And I like it that way. :)

"I had no idea what I was doing" flashes up and then the end result destroys all evidence of that statement. Love seeing some different skill sets being used here with the background painting. That alone was a gorgeous piece that could stand on its own. Awesome work, my friend. God bless!

This diorama reminds me of the shoe box dioramas we made when I was a kid. We’d paint flat images for four, five and backgrounds on heavy paper and cut them out. Then glue them inside the shoe box with depth between them. We’d cut holes in the lid and cover them with colored cellophane for lighting. Finally, cut a hole in the end of the shoe box to peer into the diorama. Thanks for bringing back that memory!

Very convincing distance effect in the background painting, amazing. My only note for the scene would be maybe to file down the bottom of the figure's feet a bit so it looks like he's really got weight pressing down onto the rock he's standing on rather than being a model perched on top of it. The texture of the ground is awesome and looks very convincing in its scale.

What a coincidence! :D I was on a break from building Dioramas because life, sadly. But i wanted to do something i like and The Forever WInter is an Early Access Game that ticks almost all of my boxes. They took all the best things from Art and Popculture over the years and created a vision for the perfect Endtimes, aesthetically. I thought about something like this. I know your channel for years now and since i could not build myself, my interest shallowed down on consuming content on it, but i am still in awe, that you hammer out projects every frickin week. You are a positive monster. So. i think your Project was well done and i do have some experience in canvas Painting with acrylics, i do not feel confident in in. Same goes for anything other than naturalistic stuff with prehistoric Animals. No actual experience in building post-Apocalyptic stuff. But this has been a major Interest for me since my early childhood. It is so intense and beautiful, while being the pure horror. This Backdrop method is really nice to get some scale. But i am still not sure if i want a bigger scale and a backdrop like you did, or a whole Scene with tiny people and machenery. I tend to like smaller scale more and more. Mostly because my main interest is Diorama Landscaping. I will take this as motivation! Thanks! Haven't watched you in a while but i see you are still kicking! I'm glad.
