[@michaelsorensen7567]

Difficult to get edges of tiles to line up while still getting the same overall texture and randomness here. Not impossible, but make sure that's figured out before none of the stringies line up at the edges.

I love the message of 'just do it/make it work'. A friend of mine and I had a similar view of our art projects in high school. There were no mistakes. No going back. Working with the 'mistake' makes it better.

[@terrorbyte2112]

If chaotic evil had a crafting style this would be it.

[@sebbychou]

Oooh! A flesh cave (not that one) would be the perfect scene. I needed to feed oozes for millenias and I was thinking about having chained trolls just out of reach, where the regenerating limbs would go back in reach of the oozes to feed them, but literally having a cave of ever growing flesh to feed a sea of slime is even better.

[@chrishudson7320]

Yes!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. My entire campaign is lovecraft themed.

[@TCStall]

So there's a giant flesh room in my next dungeon now. Good job, you broke my mind.

[@aFistfulofDice]

This is absolutely disgusting. I LOVE IT.

[@wonderboy2402]

Another interesting speed build. You should revisit this again when you have more time. You could do a flesh, xenomorph or alien world terrain version which a lot of us would find interesting. Can you imagine doing a long, narrow corridor replicating an intestines of some giant beast? All the horrors you would encounter...

[@HallofCraftVids]

I have certainly noticed myself getting more rigid and perfectionistic with my builds since I started filming and uploading them. I can only imagine how much that has affected you over the years. Good to see you busting out of the mold Jeremy!

[@cyborggold]

TBH, the first shots had me thinking you lost your mind, but the close-up shots and the understanding of it being a speed build and now I'm quite impressed. You're the man BMC!

[@andrewbroderick5633]

Oh my god, could you imagine a full dungeon with this theme? Think about all the possibilities for crazy weird scatter terrain

[@Crapnard]

I LOVE everything about this vid. Lots of catalysts for crafting madness. Thanks!

[@ambiej123]

I really enjoyed the “yeah, this was a terrible idea” “this looked really bad” etc. Ad a n00b it is good to see a veteran make mistakes- and still come out with something great!

[@KnightFlesh]

I have an entire desk full of paint, glue, toothpicks, popsicle sticks, xps foam, dollar store foam, paint brushes, glue... etc... etc... etc... In the middle of all of it, a partially done cathedral, some partially done tents, some finished dungeon tiles, and some unfinished ones. And one of these days, I am gonna really sit down and make some amazing stuff like this! You really are inspiring in a lot of ways my friend. Even if I cannot find the time right now to complete any projects (at least not without my kids ruining them) I sure love watching your vids and getting even more ideas for the future. Thank you for the great content! All the best to you my friend!

[@FireSpriteSpirit]

Awesome! I love that you let your creativity run wild and just "played" instead of "planned." I find that I get too in my head on my own projects a lot, and sometimes let my fear of screwing it up limit my creativity. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder that risks can be fun and rewarding. after all, as I try remind the perfectionist within- crafting is supposed to be fun...not work👍😊

[@WilSisney]

Man, that is so gruesome! I love it! I know I'll break this out at some point. When you brought the heat gun into the mix, I knew this was going to turn out great! I've been waiting for a good application for melted foam and this is just perfect!

[@nikital.6523]

"And I started to go crazy with it." Well, that's quite thematic. The piece turned out pretty well even without considering the time constraints. Fleshy, visceral terrain is rather rare. Makes me think if there's any good way to achieve Gieger-esque look. Also, just slap some green on it and it's going to be the most cheerful little abomination in all the land.

[@PatrickSamphire]

I really appreciate you being willing to show us where you go wrong and then how you fixed it. It makes builds feel more manageable.

[@sascha3607]

I could feel the madness in this I probably try this for my Tyranid terrain parts for cut off giant tentacles or what ever. I love it

[@rachelblume2255]

This is horrific and I love it. Any time you can make your players go “WHAT IS THAT??” you know you’ve done something awesome.

[@jamesmudano1401]

Absolutely the most Death Metal project you've done.

[@gimli3370]

Absolutely love this! I don't know if I'll ever make a fleshy disgusto-tile (although maybe for 40k Nurgle-terrain). However, seeing you just go for it and test new things on a piece I think is really inspiring to see! Trying to get people into this hobby (particularly the miniature painting, but also terrain creation) I've found is really hard sometimes, and one of the most common problems I see people have, is that they'll be afraid to start painting, or building, or something just because they don't want to mess up. Getting into the spirit of just jumping into a project, doing whatever you think might be cool or cause a neat effect is such an important skill to have, and I think you learn a lot better through it than spending hours on end looking things up on youtube and watching painting videos (which is pretty much where a lot of my friends are at who are interested in the hobby).

[@Aarzu]

I'm really happy I watched this video. Seeing things kind of go astray there when you added the red and blue looked like something I would have done myself, but you kept rolling with it and when you added the other layer of peach, I though it started looking GREAT! The blow dryer made it look even better!

[@travisshallenberger9486]

That is seriously cool. Like something from Lovecraft or Darkest Dungeon. A change or two in the color palette and you have the Creep terrain from Starcraft. Hats off!

[@ddesouz6]

I love the way this came out. I was planning on running a CoC adventure as a change of pace from my regular 5e campaign. I can really pull some inspiration from this.

[@ryanoleary4106]

the texture on the back wall would be great for a cave setting. nice vid as always

[@juliehamel8330]

This terrain would work well with your toothy tentacle monsters ... Also your approach to this build was very in line with the tone of your game, pure, delicious madness! Great video👍

[@monocromos27]

beautiful video, something truly original and unique. thanks Jeremy!

[@ronschindler3891]

I love this. It's awesome to look at, my PC would be totally disgusted to walk through. I especially enjoyed watching the different painting stages on this one, kind of like watching the walls literally form and grow then decay. That will be great imagery for in-game use. The inks and the PUS blew my mind a little, I thought it really added that extra bit of gross. It is cool to see how you stress tested the foam with hot glue and again with the heat gun. Those parts reminded me of the acid pools with acetone episode, one of my favorites. I really like the organic-looking textures that resulted.

[@suspiuu]

Man just wanna say to you, thank you so much for this channel. It's really inspired me to start doing terrain for my own games, ESPECIALLY how your attitude is so 'doesn't matter if everything doesn't go perfect, just hone it until it looks good, and you learned something on the way!'. It's so refreshing and I think you're just a really, really good non-gatekeeping voice in the community. Thanks for all your work!! Will definitely support you on Patreon ASAP. :]

[@theminiatureunderground]

These techniques, or more refined ones based on these, might make for an interesting set of 3x3s to go with all your other tile sets. Maybe similar to your cave tile set but only smaller in numbers. Very organic feeling and looking. A good horror themed dream state or trapped in the belly of a massive creature. Awesome work on this

[@Fnordathoth]

End result looks amazing! Great video yet again, very pleased with your reminders to everyone that mistakes are ok and can in fact end up being exactly what was needed for a project.

[@Devcon]

(Watches vid, loses 1D10 SAN) Daaaaaang that's a good looking piece. Also, LOL at the "this isn't really suited for a holiday piece is it..."

I can’t watch this now cause I’m at work but I’ll leave a like and a comment and come back later lol. Also I’m so thankful for you to not give up even tho KZbin is going through yet another rough period. KZbin has been my only source of entertainment (no Netflix or Hulu or twitch) for many years now and it’s extremely disturbing to me what might happen in 2020. Because of people like you and others I’ve decided to start a KZbin channel of my own as soon as I can set up the apartment I just moved into so this is an off time for me. Don’t give up my friend we need people like you on this platform. Happy crafting 💜✌️

Something like this but painted with dark browns and greens would make an excellent overgrown floor in a jungle or swamp setting with a few bits of flock or small trees mixed in

[@alchemistgamer8349]

I am bringing a White Elephant gift to a group of gamers on Saturday. I made a Warhammer/D&D hillside build and added in three pillars for scatter terrain. All inspired by your work.

[@SirBakaMonkey]

This has definitely help with creative thinking, I've never thought of an incounter being in the leteral belly of the beast until now.

[@anthonystike6034]

You always do great videos, Jeremy. Having said that, I think that this is the best one you have done. That piece is great. If you do something like this again use a pen and draw a little harder on the smaller runes. That should help. I am glad that I found your channel, it gives me some good ideas for my own terrain projects. Again thanks for giving us a timeline of your growth as a terrain builder.

[@LeonardoTheMage]

To create the face of madness, a little madness is obviously required... Love it, I might end up copying this for some sort of Tyranid themed terrain or something.

[@Bluecho4]

I've had a D&D idea for a kind of meat mold, which grows underground, creating a layer of tissue and organs over the walls of caves. Spawning fleshy monsters to defend itself, and to venture out to obtain food (before they return to the meat mold and get devoured). Suffice to say, this video has given me a few ideas about how to render the idea into a terrain piece.

[@kingcraft4167]

I also do a lot of shotgun crafting ... And then end up throwing it away😂 Great piece by the way! I'd like to try this on a few dungeon tiles. That way you don't have to paint the stone in later.

[@kilelorencen2085]

Dude! I love the idea of this set piece! I have been trying come up with a big finale to a campaign and I think this may be it.

[@jackjohnston8048]

that looked amazing. I want to try this.

[@paulgee1952]

The Beholder areas in the 2nd Baldurs Gate sprang to my mind here.

I used to run a game in a homebrew system where the players had to delve into a cave system made of flesh with oozing toxins and acids all around them to defeat a monster called The Mother who's spawning thousands of Disfigured - once humans, eaten by the hive, then birth again as a horrible hive-minded creature that feels no pain. They would've loved this kind of fleshy terrain. Actually, your video just inspired me to make the set, I hope one day I'll have enough free time to do it. The narrow flesh corridors and the spherical rooms will be bloody awesome. (sorry for the pun...)

[@Logiwonk]

If you do another project like this you could consider using your airbrush to do a gradient of stone to flesh to convey the idea that the stone is transforming. I think this was a really interesting build and I love how willing you are to experiment and take risks in the build. Thanks for the video.

[@DinomaxProductions]

This looks dope, I’m about to start writing a lovecraft themed campaign, I’m taking most of my inspiration from Nyarlethotep, Mountains of Madness, and the Dunwitch Horror

Neat, I love Hp Lovectafts work. This could quite easily be an 80's/90's thrash metal album cover, how cool would a full d&d adventure through thrash hellscapes be.

[@snarkymcsnarkface1863]

Well... that answered one of the questions/experiments for the slaaneshy board I have on the planning table. Thanks. I had been debating tissue paper or hot glue. But the reheating/melting is definitely more in line with what I had in mind.

[@Utieties]

I really love this. I might try it myself one day. Not sure if the encounter has it slowly turning to flesh. But I would start with a stone piece that has the runes and then replace it with the skin piece as the encounter moved on. Maybe even make another piece of stone dungeon tiles and cut it to add to the edge of the flesh part. Easier way to show it taking over.

[@dobrzpe]

great results. i'm more proud of you for just 'doing it' and having fun while doing something you love! keep up the good work, friend!

[@SteamTitan]

So figured would post this on your most recent video. If you are ever looking for chains or rope that will hold form when posed, try pipe cleaners. If you burn the fuzzy part off it reveals twisted wire beneath. Depending on how tight the twist is, it might look like rope. I've used it before to make nooses and such. A looser twist looks like fine chain. It really just depends on on the pipe cleaners bought. It would likely be possible to also twist the looser type tighter to look like rope

[@mikewyant6919]

A great way to create tiles for Shadows of Brimstone Belly of the beast!

This is wonderfully gnarly. I love it.

[@marcmurphy5819]

I would love to do something similar for the final boss(es) of my campaign. If you’re familiar with Nurgle, they’re models related to that sort of deal. What I want is a landscape that is heavily corrupted, blighted land, with thrones made of rotting corpses, disgusting fungi, and hideous abominations dancing around in revelry.

[@ShakeRogue]

So in making terrain for a mood setting of madness, things began to give you problems and so you gave yourself over to the madness and found your salvation? Yep, definitely a Lovecraftian turn of craft.

[@teller7009]

This is badass! I have been getting into Mork Borg type games and I can see this concept working well. I randomly just crafted what I am calling a Flesh Kraken and I think my players may need to get swallowed by it and fight it’s guts that look like this.

[@dirtydsrc]

Your hot mess is a fine example of a happy accident. I think you nailed it.

[@twoheadedcalf]

you can make a cool disguising flesh effect by dropping super glue on pva glue while its still wet. the water in the pva will activate the super glue and gives it a weird texture. you can stretch it and pull it around to make further distort it. best thing is you can add paint to the pva before hand - so you could have had fleshy growths over painted stone.

[@sadserah]

i wish for more projects like this. so interesting.

[@ifailedmywillsave]

I recognize that I'm almost 2 years late finding this, but I'd love to see more experimental fleshy terrain like this. I happen to love the hot glue effects, but how WOULD you do it with toilet paper and pva? How would you incorporate teeth, both herbivore and carnivore? If you were going to do eyes, would you do single, pairs, groups of 3-9? What would you do for a monument that had been turned into flesh like this? Etc.! You're crazy creative, and this sort of creepy stuff seems right in your wheelhouse, so I'd love to see more of your take on this aesthetic.

[@zephiel70]

I didn't know I needed the words "flesh tile" in my vocabulary until now, and I'm happy about it.

[@FenaArnailes]

Nice to see actual experimentation on fleshy terrain. One of my dreams is to create Warhammer 40,000 Tyranid bio-ship "dungeon crawling" terrain someday (like in Advanced Space Crusade board game). If I someday actually get to it, I have to get a heat gun, you got really interesting effects with it. One trick I've learned from net, is to apply a pool of pva glue and while it is stille wet, add drops of super glue on it, which wraps the pva into interesting grotesque shapes.
