[@GeorgeCrafts]

Hi Jazza! I think 2 part epoxy is definitely the right way to go! Some of the UV resins I've used in the past are designed to pull up from the edges as they cure to create a dome effect and I think that's why you were getting the warping. These 3d resin paintings look so cool and I really want to have a go! If you do a bigger piece I bet it would look super cool as a huge mural and if anyone can pull it off I know it's you! Something from RPGs/tabletop games would be an awesome subject too!

[@jillboehm-reyna834]

I agree…also the thickness creates more heat. Thinner layers

[@elizabetteberryhill9650]

I always love seeing these 3D paintings! As a resin artist myself, I'd like to offer up if I may some tips that might help next time. First 3D printing UV resin tends to be softer than other UV resins and boils/burns if your UV lamp is too intense which is where some of your warping may be coming from. Second, oil and resin do not mix so if your oil paints are not fully cured your resin will not want to cure over top of them I would highly recommend opting for acrylics or painting with pigments while the surface is still tacky. Keep in mind when dropping alcohol inks on resin's surface that you need to give the alcohol time to dissipate before torching to avoid flames and work in thinner layers. Resins cure by a thermogenic reaction and can produce very high levels of heat. Lastly a good vacuum chamber can pull bubbles out of your UV resins while a pressure pot tends to be better for bubbles in 2 part resins (because of time). P.S Thank you for the always wonderful content and for being an amazing human being!

[@ShainaMakesStuff]

I was so curious about the oil paint vs an acrylic! Thanks for your input as a resin artist. I do not currently work with resin but I love learning about all mediums.

[@MyklCarlton]

Indeed! A two-part epoxy resin would work much better for this application. 3D resins are designed for curing micrometres at a time. Also, for those of us with limited funds, that much 3D printer resin would be exorbitant!

[@SilvaraDragontear]

I was thinking the whole time that oils might not be the best paint to use with resins from what I have seen other artist use when doing resinworks. For example Peter Brown just made a resin pour vid over pizza and said in that vid that oils in liquid form does not mix well with resin & often makes the resin warp or not set properly & sometimes leave part of it soft and not set all the way. Maybe acrylics would have been a better medium to use with resin.

Thank you for collaborating with Chloe. She deserves more followers and so do you. This channel deserves to be at 10 mil by now.

[@RacoonProds]

2 tips if you re-do: 1 - Put the resin in a warm water bath to make it a bit more liquidy. It will self-level better. 2 - Don't put your light right on top of the mold, It's too close. With how big it is, it can be 1-2ft away. How you have it on the movable arm at the end is the best I think.

[@meshis9605]

Isn't UV resin supposed to go on in thin layers as well?

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

He literally used the wrong resin for this with some real bad practises.. your tips would work for epoxy bit for UV.. no.

[@mrtutrle2626]

Also probably should've used acrylics rather than oil paint

[@ShiaraMoon]

A couple of things about resin: thicker pours=more heat, keep layers thin to avoid heat warping a plastic frame. If you look at the nerd forge video, she leaves an empty border around her painting with masking tape. That keeps the layers from separating If you use a pressure pot, you can guarantee there will be no bubbles. Pressure shrinks the bubbles so they are invisible.

[@JCGver]

Also slower curing resin will produce less heat. And I found IPA in a spray bottle is great for removing surface bubbles. And for tricky pours with lots of corners that can trap air bubbles I spray the mold with IPA just before pouring. The IPA will get in the corners, and mix readily with the resin, and be evaporated long before resin sets.

For anyone who's into this kind of artwork, I highly suggest checking out the works of Dustin Yellin. He makes large scale sculptural pieces of ink and paint in layered resin. Things like a life sized model of a human skeleton and blood vessel system, standing upright so you can walk around it, or abstract color nebula or weird amoeba pyramids. He's stopped working on resin, apparently because he was using so much of it that fumes were having a noticeable effect on his health, but his earlier stuff is just unlike anything else out there, especially if you ever get the chance to see it in person.

@@gamesgames2389 He switched over to doing works with glass. Now he sandwiches layers of glass together with colors and such embedded between them. I haven't actually seen the glass pieces in person, but I watched a studio interview with him where he was talking about it, and they look very similar to what he used to be doing, I can just imagine some of the processes he used to do aren't possible anymore, (like he was clearly injecting color into wet resin, or placing objects that were suspended in the final piece.) It does make a lot of sense though. I mean you can see how much the piece Jazza was working on fumed while it was curing. Now imagine doing that with pieces that have probably 20 times or more surface area curing like. Even in a custom built studio that's a lot of to deal with, ventilation wise.

if youre gonna do this again: id definitely suggest using two-part resin for the whole thing, as for what, underwater scapes seem to lend themselves very well to this kinda stuff I like how you managed to pull it together in the end! looks great

[@SquishyChameleon]

I'd agree with this suggestion. Yes it will take longer to do the overall creation due to cure timers, but in the end I feel like the warping issue would be resolved. UV resin is pretty fickle with the light's power and layer depth in my experience. Epoxy and Polyurethane resins have limits as well, so check up on ratios, cure times, and pour depths before picking out a resin.

[@madelineessner5069]

So excited to see this scaled up to a Jazza scale! Just a tip, if you do go “Jazza Big,” you may want to consider slow - curing resin. It will take ages with all the layers but the bigger the batch of resin, the faster it kicks, and the faster it kicks, the hotter it gets, which can lead to shrinkage, warping, and yellowing. Majora looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what’s next ☺️

[@Ellulellu]

Also he might be able to mix color with the resin or push pigment through the resin to get not just layers 🤔

City scape or bonsai abilities on the side.

[@sarah345]

I feel like there are other resins that would be easier to work with than UV resin. I use resin at work and there are lots of clear resins with different cure times meant for different thicknesses. Also, usually if resin is smoking it means you’re casting too thick. Smooth on makes a product called Crystal clear 202 for example, that is for 1/6th”-1/2” castings and has a 9 minute pot life with a 90 minute demold time. It would probably heat up and warp less, and you probably wouldn’t have to wait the full 90 minutes between layers (especially once you get a few layers on and the whole thing is warm). Also, I think you’re getting that layer separation because of the oil paint. Like you said, it’s not having time to fully dry so it would be difficult for the resin to adhere to it. Also, oil paint is not a heat cure, it dries by reacting with oxygen in the air, so I think once you trap it it likely won’t dry. You might have more luck with acrylic paint since it dries quickly and once it dries the resin should stick to it as well as it sticks to itself (since resin sticks to almost everything). The piece looks great though! I love watching Nerdforge do these and my husband loves Zelda. Can’t wait to see the next one! :)

[@radeksharp]

I hope jazza sees this because his peace would be much easier to do with this information it's good that people like you are around helping spread the knowledge and experience to others ☺️

[@MeanderMike]

Glad to see a good comment :) From my self I can add that, oil paints may work like release agent. You should definitely try acrylics or alcohol based paints. Warping is caused by the resin. Each resin have different shrinkage and usually faster curing resins will shrink more. For deeper layers use slow cure resin and for shallow ones you can use fast curing ones. You can check shrinkage rate in the resin data sheet. Also not every resin have UV protectection additives. You can put UV resistant lacquer on top and it shouldn't get yellow over time or exposure to sun.

[@ryansabstractart3518]

I agree I think table top self leveling resin would be easier to work with but would take alot more time because of curing also by lightly sanding each layer it will adhere the layers of resin together without lifting.

[@PolySpinal]

UV resin also just Sucks at Curing flat and big. I tried to make very thin bookmarks and Binder covers with UV and it curls every time. Epoxy is really the best way, I'm honestly surprised he got these results. But honestly Jazza is determined and good at what he does and with good materials he had more in his favor than against him. This looks fantastic and I agree, a quickset resin would probably be the best even if its still a wait. also maybe a sanding tool between layers? would make the paints stick better with while honestly not making a difference to texture since when more resin is poured on it will probably remain clear.

[@gothoro]

The UV resin is alright for small stuff, but when there is so much of it in each layer it gets way to hot. 2 part epoxy is way better for a project like this. But the finished project looked great :)

[@humanistwriting5477]

Two part epoxy that's also a slow overnight cure made for very thick castings. But Even then.. .. paint on thin layers with glass or acrylic panels in between for depth using absolute minimumal epoxy

Hi! I have a few tips! 1: dont use acrylic/digital acrylic to make the mold, i recommend a material called dibond as its a metal substrate that wont warp. Usually acrylic/digital acrylic are used in thermal forming and that in itself is fun. 2. If u can adjust ur lamp, turn the % of power down or if u cant, move the lamp more so itll take a tiny bit longer to cure but it will b more even and u can catch warping if it happens 3. Ive heard people had better luck with acrylic paint, so that might help towards the bottom o ur piece This was awsome to see u do! I hope i can see u do an even bigger one

if it is bigger, the warping will be worse so I would be careful not to go too big. Also maybe do thinner layers of resin. The oil paint doesn't seem to stick well to the surface so I was thinking maybe the surface should be sanded a tiny bit to make it more rough, like the parts you're going to paint. It will go back to clear when more resin is on top

Most of your issues were from how much resin you were using per layer. For UV resin max pour depth is usually about 1mm. Over pouring will cause the smoking,overheating,discoloration and warping.

So maybe a collabing with other artists, where everyone helps with one layer, would be the best way of achieving that detail without going insane) Also A3 or A2 would already be enough, I'd imagine that anything bigger wouldn't work well with the resin and that something really wouldn't be worth it

Being a Zelda nerd I did scream “Tatl!” When Jazza said Navi. I also screamed “Termina!” When he said Hyrule. Atleast he corrected Tatl. Lol

I've never done this myself, so someone correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but one of the biggest things that frustrate me when it comes to these art pieces, is how THICK the layers of resin are that people put down between paint layers. The reason being: if you work *like a [3D] printer* and you lay down thinner layers, you should, in theory, get a much better 3-Dimensional result. For instance, you mentioned that the clouds at the top were intended to be further away than the clouds at the bottom, so you painted them with a highlight to push them back. You were thinking two-dimensionally, forgetting that you had a 3-dimensional space to paint in. If you had painted the clouds at the top on the lower layers, and the clouds at the bottom on the upper layers, you would have a literal 3-dimensional cloud wrapping around the moon. The thinner the layers, the more layers you have to paint, sure, but also the better the result will be in a 3-dimensional space, and less warping you'll get in the resin (theoretically) since resin heats up by volume. That's why if you mix epoxy resin and split it off into two batches--one a few dozen millilitres and the other a few hundred--the resin with the larger volume will cure first, and releases a lot of heat in doing so. Even though they were both poured from the same cup. The more area, the more heat. In short, I would LOVE to see you do this again, but this time (and especially if you go larger) use less resin in each layer.

[@OutlawSniper23]

Jazza, I own a business that works with epoxy everyday. To get away from the warped edges, I would recommend using melamine to build your form. Caulk all the edges, and you will be good to go.

[@MarioTorre]

I think the more you go foreground the more layers they need to be, for example the trees should be each on their own. But this is spectacular!

[@elenas.2433]

I think something Studio Ghibli related would look awesome in this style. Already looking forward to your next video like this :)

[@kriscook2423]

That is so cool. Please go bigger. I like seeing how you overcome the problems. A lot of artists would cut that out but when you keep it in we learn with you. I gotta say if I had tried it and got to the second attempt and had problems I probably would have given up. I'm trying to overcome the need for my work to be perfect and you really help by showing that you make mistakes and work with them instead of giving up. Thanks Jazza. Gonna go check out Chloe's now.

[@tehkendra8735]

Your moon looks amazing! Terrifying but amazing! This is my favorite Zelda game, so it is always nice to see it get some love.

[@dumbspaghetti_]

This whole art form reminds me of the Doctor who 50th special with the 3D paintings. Absolutely stunning art with an absolutely stunning effect.

[@pandacookie352]

It would be amazing to see something similar to the thrift shop dragon painting and the follow up painting to that in layered resin! That 3d effect would look so cool on a dynamic piece like that and really give it more depth than it already had.

[@randomjunk2131]

Tip: to preserve sharp details with oil, start with darker paints and move up to light so they don’t mix or become muddy!

[@someoneyoudontreallyneedtoknow]

Hey Jazza, I recently heard about an app called "Mental Canvas' that's all about drawing on different layers and creating a perspective. The best part, it has no limitations to just making perspective on one view, you can make an illusion that there are drawings underneath your layered painting. I think you would find this really fun to try out because of your digital art experience.

[@Lee_Lee73]

This is definitely one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!! SO Sick!!

[@MrRobobear]

Using phosphorescent paint and some leds along with this method could end up in something truly unique. Getting the layers to cast little shadows on eachother could add a whole new layer of depth. Meanwhile though love what ya did here.

[@sarahp5967]

Maybe a sci-fi city scene, I can imagine that could look super cool, you could even work with neon paints or glow-in-the-dark neon stuff? I know you'd create an incredibly stunning artwork either way though, no matter what you end up taking as prompt

[@cloud_appreciation_society]

Yesss a cyberpunk aesthetic would look incredible

[@NamelessCreativity]

Id love to see a larger scale ghibli inspired resin painting, something like Mononoke or Nausica Valley of the Wind!

[@mouserirvine6699]

Yesssss!!!! Bigger, badder, and scarier 👹. I would be so excited to see THAT!! 😊🇨🇦

[@SnapGrapplePop]

Every time Jazza does a resin project, I get my hopes up for a collab with Evan & Katelyn. (A Nerdforge collab would also be amazing)

[@azzakburst5462]

I don’t know how this would work in practice but maybe a piece showing the ship of Theseus thought experiment, like it slowly having its parts replaced but still keeping its original identity as shown in the earliest layers, at the very least it sounds interesting imo

[@kshina3624]

that sounds amazing!!

[@waveiiyt]

oh my god i love the ship of theseus thought experiment- that would be so cool

[@suspendedanimation683]

I've been watching since Jazza was doing tutorials and its good to see how far he branched out! His old tutorials inspired me to create my first animation =3

[@lmo613]

I wish I too was bursting with amazing talents like these nice people. Back to the drawing board to practice with me.

[@Taracinablue]

Oh my goodness, this came out amazing! Also, Evan&Katelyn are quite experienced with epoxy (and UV) resin; perhaps you could ask them for advice or even a collab =)

[@TokyoMakes]

absolutely, you should watch and contact Evan and Katelyn for advice. I’m amazed you managed to get such thick UV resin layers to cure at all, but UV resin will yellow a lot over time. All resin will yellow, but UV is worse. You should adopt nerdforge’s technique of mostly epoxy two part resin and then use UV to build up some elements with more layers within that. It’ll be cheaper, more durable, less prone to yellowing and most importantly won’t warp. UV resin should absolutely NOT be smoking and off gassing like you showed. It wasn’t the alcohol inks IMO, it was a DANGER SIGN of how hot it was getting.

[@coreyellis5591]

I love that he chose to do Majora’s Mask for his “moon” theme. However, the town he drew is Termina, not Hyrule

[@Iam.paradox-35]

Excellent work Jazza, can't wait for the second try! Two things that I think would have worked better, using a different resin other than UV and using acrylic paint instead of oil. I think that because it ends up making it difficult for the layers to adhere. Anyway, the final result was amazing!

[@seanaldrich5024]

Legitimately one of the coolest things ever!

[@paigemountianbook6468]

Do you remember when you did the dragon how tiny you could go? I think seeing a massive piece with all the dragons in different sizes would be amazing!

[@Caassiopeia]

To really utilize the depth those layers of resin are providing, I'd recommend an art piece in MC Escher style. Strange buildings and structures at different depths. That would be badass.

[@theimmersedreader]

You should definitely do a scene dual sided scene, so that viewing the piece from all sides makes sense. Also, table sized would be dope.

[@baconeater_toby2383]

I mean that sounds cool. I was thinking something with a Viking siege because he could really play around with the 3D effects that come naturally with resin artwork. He could have the fire, the water, the clouds and ships all interweaving with each other and I really think Jazza could pull off something brilliant with this.

[@FreelanceCarmine]

This is such a cool piece. When you do his again. I'd like to suggest combining it with miniature painting in some way. Using the resin to not only provide a seal for the mini's but also as a layerd surface to paint on.

[@edwardrecord5305]

My advice for you if you go bigger or want thicker pours is invest in a good deep pour low temperature setting resin. They usually take an age to cure, so might be a long one, but it'll avoid having to do lots and lots and lots of tiny layers as well as risking cracking and huge warps. I think a bigger one would be awesome just cos you'll get so much more of the different parallax on each layer. This one looked great when link doesn't move much, but everything behind does. I'm imagining a piece which does that but when you walk past it, so cool! Amazing piece, can't wait to see more :)

[@emvitt]

When I paint with oil paint on resin, I add a little drops of the resin in the ink and mix it. Than when out the lamp, it cures.. You're the art scientist. It's so cool🌹
