AWESOME and INSTALL THE DATE IN 100-200 YEARS WILL KNOW WHEN IT WAS MADE THIS

[@aidanchatfield]

Can you buy your artwork? I want to buy this.

[@verminlordsoulberry8823]

Yea out of curiosity how much would the art cost? Not that I have the money or more importantly the space for such a beautiful pice of art

[@romeoariachemin5660]

Could you make me one of the super Leviathan Gargantuan?

[@chunkymonkey4868]

What program do you use to 3d design?

[@McQuackeen]

As a huge Subnautica fan, ive always wanted a resin replica like this. The sea dragon ones were great, but personal fav has to be this one with the ghost leviathan, with how you got the paint inside of the body to still keep its transparency. As well as the tiny and quite accurate to scale prawn suit as well. Incredible piece!! ^_^ ♥

[@sonyaethaniel]

Are these creations inspired from a movie or something? I'm a new subscriber and I'm not hip to what is happening.

[@hazardousfury]

@@sonyaethaniel It's from a video game called subnautica. It's a survival-crafting and exploration game that has you crash landing on an alien planet after your ship get's shot out of the sky by something and you collect resources to bigger and better equipment to go deeper into the ocean to figure out the secrets the planet holds. The ghost leviathan is just one of many Leviathan class sea creatures in the game that you have to contend with. That little mech in the diorama is about twice the size of a human so you roughly get the sense of scale that these things are at, they're absolutely massive.

[@sonyaethaniel]

As someone who has no propensity for visual arts, it's incredibly impressive to watch your vision take shape. It's baffling to see all these elements come together in such minute detail, and have it all flow together seamlessly at the end. You are seriously talented. Thank you for sharing!

[@barmetler]

The ghost leviathan is probably my favourite creature in the entire game. This looks so cool, especially with the lost river being probably my fav area as well!

[@SomeMinnesotanKid]

I agree with this, and I just feel they are the 'scariest' well, second. The 'scariest for me is the reaper, younever oill all the ghost leviathan? They don't respawn, so it's just smooth sailing.

[@ulfthe_destroyer5109]

@@SomeMinnesotanKid Reaper is cute, change my mind

[@IgneousDominus]

I too love Ghost Leviathans, I have each one named in my head, usually with ghost related names (Phantom, Spirit, etc...). This one in particular that lives near the Gargantuan skull I simply call Junior. Ghost Leviathans feed on microscopic organisms when adults, although they remain highly territorial. The one living near the skull I have found to be the most outwardly aggressive compared to others. This, coupled with his voracious appetite for river prowlers, suggests he is the youngest Ghost we encounter in game. I have a soft spot for Junior (even when he kills me lol) so seeing him immortalized in such a beautiful piece is just spectacular.

[@flamingcat1101]

@@IgneousDominus I kill Junior in all my playthroughs :)

[@starflyer3219]

Nice to see the Subnautica fandom is still alive! It was one of the best games I ever played. Awesome work, as always!

[@princessaria]

I wish you had shown the process for making the ghost leviathan model before painting! I am super interested in how you made it!

[@Dexter_Morgan.]

My best guess would be 3D printing the model smoothing and finishing it then creating a mold and casting it in resin or just 3D printing it in resin

[@csalagovitsmate8552]

Just a guess, but i think she might not have been allowed to show footage of it, since it was probably made with a resin 3d printer.

[@TheXboxSux]

@@csalagovitsmate8552 Bingo! This was a sponsored vid and i'm sure mingda didn't want to have a much better resin printer shitting all over their primitive extruder model in the vid 🤣

[@lukacsbreslin9578]

I am super pleased that you went so far as to create the actual plants from the game rather than use generic ones. I instantly recognized the crab claw kelp native to the bone fields section of the lost river, where this diorama is set

[@timmann111]

Subnautica was a game that I found completely on accident. When I played it and loved it it not only surprised me, it changed the way I view video games. It's not perfect but it's damn good. This is one of the coolest handmade things I've ever seen. The quality and finish are top notch!

[@quinnroddy]

That is so beautiful… that game deserves an HD treatment and an expansion.

[@austinscott524]

as a Subnautica fan, i am happy that people like you exist.

[@ancliuin2459]

Looks marvellous.

[@minibrickscraft]

I do degassing in a vacuum chamber

[@XX-jk7hx]

If you can't afford a gas chamber then you can also use the resin in layers. Many use this technique to paint these 3D fish in. You make a small layer of resin then you let all the bubbles come to the surface and then you remove them with a long lighter. It also worked very often for me.

[@annaeverett1999]

I heard you could also use a lighter to remove the bubbles

[@jackblack5393]

A candle and half a cat

[@henrybarry4022]

You can use a blowtorch or lighter to pop them as they rise.

[@SONYAPLAYINGAMES]

Блин, я не верю что это можно создать руками. Невероятно красиво, а затерянная река выше всяких похвал. Вау!!!

[@Dstrbdmusctechr]

We thought about how to implement this for a long time. Thanks

[@WiseSalamander]

@@minibrickscraft I might have missed it, but was the creature 3d printed but in a resin machine?.

[@specificorb3]

@@WiseSalamander they probably 3d printed a mold for them to pour resin into then finished up the leviathan via sanding

[@tanjak72]

Not much to see there. Too much cut away? Maybe next time less of the stone making process and more of the really interesting stuff?

I am seriously jealous of these things

[@sallyvilder]

Это всё замечательно и красиво, работа невероятная. Одно "но": было ОЧЕНЬ интересно, как именно была сделана/добыта сама основа тушки левиафана, отчего когда она просто оказывается в кадре чувствуешь некоторое... разочарование? Конечно, только авторы видео решают, какой момент производства они хотят показать, а какой нет, но ощущение, будто пропустили едва ли не самое интересное, особенно на фоне такого подробного процесса создания декораций. Не лишними были бы хотя бы пара строк субтитров на эту тему или пара кадров изготовления/печати/распаковки, чтобы не возникало ощущения как в том меме про "как нарисовать сову". Да, ваши видео явно не самоучитель и не руководство, как сделать. И раньше модели существ просто появлялись в кадре. Но тут... Короче, если раньше ещё можно было просто проигнорировать отсутствие каких-либо пояснений, то в этом случае появляется недосказанность. Это единственное, что расстроило, в остальном отличная работа и умопомрачительный результат Спасибо за ваше творчество!

[@andrewsed_uplisten2019]

этот левиафан был выращен в специальном инкубаторе по секретной технологии , с применением отборного корма и высушенного в специальной барокамере с подогревом и температурой сушения 93, 4 градуса и с нижним турбо-поддувом...
