The Art Collab: I'm currently working on it. I have made 6 designs and still haven't decided which to paint. It's such a big honor, so I want it to be as good as possible 😊 Hope you're hyped for the next artist, I have now confirmed with them! Who do you think it will be? 👀 I have needed to take my time on this, so please be patient ❤️
Haha, I was just about to ask! I've been really enjoying following the paintings progress around the world :-D
اتابعكي من زمان بعيد من 🇸🇾I am from Syria, I have been following you for a long time
شكرا لك بفضلك تحسنت لغتي الانجليزية وانتي تتكلمين بفيدوهاتك Thank you, because of you, my English has improved Whenever and you speak with your videos🖤💖🖤👏
we have patience for your amazing works! tysm!

The "you're doing great William" gives me "you're doing great sweetie" kinda vibe and I'm here for it.
It's like your grandmother saying, "That's nice dear." The rude way of saying it is "Cool story, bro."
My name is William and I felt seen
My name is William, that was nice
I cannot believe I have been watching this channel for so long and not noticed that Martina is missing a pinkie.
Can we get a story time please because this was the first video I realized it too!!
oh yo what? I never noticed that!!
Wtf I watch allot of her video and this is first time I saw about her pinky and it have me shocked
Same!!! I was shocked when I noticed it for the first time and it had been bugging me if I was the only one who only noticed it now
same
I love having the clock in there on the timelapse, showing 2 hours of work in 12 seconds! People don't realize how much time goes into this art. It also makes me feel better about the amount of time it takes me to do my own diorama projects. Thanks!
My exact thoughts
Same i take like 2 hours on a rock!
As a William myself I was pleased to hear "you're doing great William" - no one ever says that to me any more. :-(
You’re doing great!
Yeah, @Bill S you’re doing amazing!
Your doing such a good job 😊
You're still doing great William💪🏽
You're doing so good William!!! Its insane😉
Stunning work Martina and you are much braver than me for using actual water! Clearly though you were up to the challenge.😋 Beautifully executed. 💛🙂
Huh, funny seeing you here. I was subbed to your channel a while ago and thought you just stopped uploading, seems YT had unsubbed me. The last one I watched of yours was the Witcher diorama.
Martina: LOOK I MADE A THING
fans: OMG IT'S AMAZING
cat: meh _goes back to cleaning self_
I was half expecting Astrid or Clyde to hop up to take a drink. :)
@@AnZsDad1973 I think that is pretty much a given as long as the water is fresh.
Can we all just appreciate how beautifully positive she is with the laser cutter? Perfect circle, William!
I love that you have that huge clock in the shot to show how many hours are going into the crafting in your videos! The time invested into content is a hugely underapreciated thing and that puts it into perspective.
And once again Martina proves that happiness is a warm lasercutter called William. :D
She named their lasercutter William and her mannequin Stacey. What will she name next? :D
@@TheFlamingMantra I don't know, but i am planning to stick around to find out! :)
Beautiful work!
Also, as my real name is William, I was slightly confused, but also very happy to be told I was doing such a good job! 😊
You're doing great dude don't forget that
@@goth_witch1362 😄 Thanks mate!
We’ve always believed in you Will ⭐️
You’re doing great will!
my other half watching with me, " why is there intense music during the poxy pour?" Me: "because epoxy is intense!"
As a student in 7th grade, shes always inspired me to do so much and made me curious as to how much I can do with simple materials like box cutters, cardboard and styrofoam as i cant use all the fancy stuff like resin and huge chunks of wood and table saws, and shes kinda enabled me to be motivated enough and to think that i can one day do smth similar and to start with that from now, thank you so much, keep doing what youre doing please
Fantastic work! As a non-artist, i'm always impressed with how you blend colours to make the whole piece come alive.
"This might not be something you want to leave on all the time..." wait is she actually expecting anyone else would be able to pull this off?????
Vikings in AD 800-1000: "Let's chop some wood!" *chops down huge trees with a double sided axe and rips the logs apart with their own hands*
Martina in 2021: "Let's chop some wood!" *turns on laser cutter*
Get William to do it. Perfectly.
well, that's impressive. Again!
U haven't even seen the video lol
I think you should know this their are some people who spend years making similar things
👏🏻 one of my favourite channels. You are not an artist, you are MAGIC 🤩 I am in awe how someone can create such beautiful intricate magical things. Please please never stop 🤗
Thank you so much 😀
As a maker of miniature terrain I find this breathtaking. You are so intelligent and talented with your craft. Thank you for being a bright place on CZcams.
I love the work you do making things look broken down and decayed, but I'd think it would be interesting to see you make something fantasy inspired in its prime, all shiny and new, some building or outcrop that is doing well. Love all your work you guys have done!
True, true..
I like your idea already
wow this is very impressive 👏 amazing work!!
btw, I love that you actually put a clock in the timelapse lately. This way we get an idea of how long your projects actually take😅
So refreshing to see you guys making stuff you care about AND getting a fantastic final result. (Og knakande inspirerande med norske CZcamsrar :D Gler meg til å sjå meir allereie, gje ein lyd viss de skulle trenge noko 3D-animasjon!)
Really excellent job for a series of "first time" attempts that came out really satisfying. I know there are several things she will probably do differently in the future and she mentions several of them as she goes. I really like how she both acknowledges her mistakes and yet manages to still overcome them with an almost magical charm by the end! Each and every new thing she works on becomes better and better and with so much raw talent and exploration, I can barely wait to see what she comes up with next! One thing I also really like is the clock being shown in the montages to really show the time and effort involved in achieving such wonders... she makes it look so easy that having a reminder like that really shows the patience and dedication to the art.
The White styrofoam is called piepschuim in the netherlands, which basically means squeaky foam
As far as I now styrofoam is not quite the same as piepschuim. In mijn ervaring is styrofoam veel fijner in textuur, makkelijk te snijden, terwijl piepschuim een bolletjes structuur heeft waar alleen kleinere vormen mee zijn te snijden met een heel scherp mes. Ik spreek uit ervaring dat styrofoam veel prettiger is om mee te werken in miniatuurbouw dan piepschuim.
*Neee!* as I read that I shivered because I both heard, 'that' noise, and felt that sensation that goes with it simultaneously!
After screwing up one of my final exams today this is exactly what i needed
Fr thooo
Omg truuiee like I just finished math and ruined it
For anyone wondering about the PINKY FINGER:
She lost her finger fighting a dragon in her old life 🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲🐲
You know, being a badass🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I wouldn't have noticed if this comment didn't exist ^^'
@@ramblamb4522 same-
i’ve been watching for months and i can’t believe i never noticed
Yeah been watching them for over a year and just realized that. I just wonder where it went?
12:44 ok, it's not funny and i shouldn't laugh but :D :D :D
I see a book in your future. The title: "The Wizard inside the Artist." Because what you do is pretty much magical...
I could happily watch Martina creating things all day long. The skill, inventiveness and artistic talent combined with a great sense of humour and bubbly personality are inspirational and delightful. Keep up the good work Nerdforge
You can see that they are now a big channel playing on a different level, they’ve switched from Biltema glue to Casco 🤓
Hahahah
@@Nerdforge Life goals 😇
Biltema🎶
Nobody:
Absolutely No One:
Her: (deep breath) *SKJERABAGERA*
Everyone: (cheers wildly)
And duel purpose if you have a cat that likes to drink running water. It’s like the fanciest most mystical electric water bowl to be made
Please don't. I would also love to, no hate here, but here's why:
Epoxies in general (specially the transparent ones) should not be considered food-safe (drink-safe in this case, maybe? =D) cause they may contain BPA (bisphenol-alpha, in English I think), which is a residue of the chemical process used to produce them. Not all kinds of epoxy resins are produced this way, but unless you know for sure it is not, don't let anyone ingest food or drink from it. Specially if it has been warmed up, cause the heat frees the BPA even more from the epoxy and it will migrate to the food/drink in question. BPA is harmful to humans and I'm assuming here, for the sake of keeping it safe, it won't do your pet any good either.
I'm sorry for not presenting sources for the info, it's nearly 4 AM here, but this is what I learned working with epoxy a few years ago on my phd.
Good night o/
Just wanted to say, nothing revs up my crafting engine like this channel! Your enthusiasm and energy just bleeds out of the video and makes me energized to work on my projects!
Wow, thank you!
@@Nerdforge I agree, i feel super inspired after watching your videos! I have no way to channel the inspiration, but it’s still there :)
Your attention to detail is so freakin good!! I'm highly inspired whenever I see your videos, THANK YOU!!
Wow, thank you!
I agree tower, water aqua duck beautiful But I find the gazebo a little lacking
Hi there. When I get home today, I'm signing up for your Patreon! I'm an otr trucker, so gonna be a bit til I get there!! I love your videos and because of them, my wife has given me permission to start creating books. Thank you for all your inspiration.
That's really awesome! Thank you so much for the support!
Ooh awesome. What kinda books?
I love that in the channel's earlier days I was like "OMG HOW DID THEY DO THAT SO PERFECTLY!!?!?", and nowadays I'm like "Oh yeah, the usual..." 😅
With that said, this project turned out AMAZING! (again, as usual). I love to see the transition from raw materials to the final result, it looks so real! 🤩
2:22 - "If it looks remotely like a bed, then it's a bed for me"
Editing is wonderful as usual - inserting the cat made my night that much better!
What I love the most is that smile when you explain what you're about to do. Like you look so happy that you're doing it... It's just everything to me ! How could I not enjoy the videos with that energy ?? HOW ? XD
This water foutain is splendid by the way ! I love it
may I ask what happened to your little finger? I've only seen it now. KEEP UP THE VIDEOS, THEY ARE SUPER COOL AND INSPIRATIONAL
Me too! I’ve never noticed it before!
"you're doing a great job, William!"
So wholesome
Awesome work! Your kitty is probably going to claim this as drinking fountain though xD.
an EPIC drinking fountain
@@tammyjohnson9505 Absolutely!
As always Martina giving us everything
Absolutely gorgeous..You could just imagine it in a real setting,coming upon it ,looking up at the majestic towering sculpture and being amazed...I was just saying to my Daughter how talented you are,you can make just about anything and paint so beautifully too.You certainly got a lot of skills and we both love watching you 🥰
You know how in video games you earn all the cool stuff the makes things easier super late in the game and you wish you had it at the beginning? I feel like that's your skills and tools. You guys just keep unlocking (and definitely earning) those as you level up. Your laser cut parts and electronics just seem so clean, the whole project just came out so beautiful too. You guys never cease to impress
The arches, the moss of that ruined aqueduct are made with skill.🔝👏🏻😊
I love it!💜
I love how she's talking to us like we actually have the talent to make it.
Each project you work on seems so different, requiring such a broad collection of skills! I'm so impressed by your creations every time!
You are my hero, Martina! I stumbled upon your channel about two weeks ago, and I've been binge watching every chance I get. You've inspired me to expand my crafting, take on new challenges and not avoid working with new mediums! Thank you so much, Martina ❤
anyone else enjoying having the clock there? just me? ok
i like seeing how much time you invest in these projects
I loved the clock! Made me feel good about my own projects as well. It takes so much time and effort. I’m glad Martina and Hansi are showing that
I love your creations! They are so risky and well planned! It's so cool that you incorporated real water into your design! Thanks for being amazing!!!
I LOVE that you put that clock there for the timelapses! Really shows the work that goes into it!!
I've seen your last fountain video maybe two weeks ago. I'm impressed as always, but now especially by the huge progress you've made
In my mind I’m thinking “The sound of that water though” and then she said it kinda makes her want to pee. I laughed pretty hard 😅. Great build! Great video! Great humor!
I love to see how your creations are slowly coming to life when you paint it ! Your skills are just stunning 😮
I just hope that artwork of tenhundred and those other artists didnt get lost 😥
I found your channel while looking up how to make a little desk waterfall. I found your waterfall video and have been following since then, so it warms my heart to see you make another one!
"This sound kinda makes me wanna pee, but it's also really relaxing at the same time."
Peelaxing? 🤔
This is so cool! I always feel so inspired to build things when I watch your videos. Now I’m considering doing something like this with a deeper base so you can add goldfish. 🤷🏼♀️ Idk why but the idea of goldfish acting as mini sharks or something makes me really happy. ☺️😂♥️
This looks so cool! I have been following this channel since the first diorama, I can really see the improvements in Martina’s painting skill from every miniature landscapes. Great works!
Love that you include a clock in your timelapses- it really shows just how much time and dedication you put into these things! I can also show it to anybody who says "pfft, I shouldnt pay for how much TIME it takes someone, it probably only takes an hour!"
I always get confused when you say “You’re doing great William”
Cause my names William so I always do a double take 🤣 right not human William, Machine William 🔥
Work looks awesome as always🙏
I'm so impressed by your projects, you are a true inspiration.
Wow... This one looks absolutely fantastic! All those green smudges caused by water really bring the composition to life.
It’s a great piece and you seem extra enthused by it throughout the video. It’s quite infectious. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and publish this.
I can't believe you got paid to make a water fountain for your cats. Amazing
CZcams: Number of hairstyle changes in one episode?
Nerdforge: Yes.
I can really dream myself into a world where this piece of fantasy landscape would be real, it turned out amazing!
I also love watching you test new techniques and grow as a maker ✨
You're my favourite YT channel. All of your videos are full of good vibes and everything you create is completely awesome !
Berry good! Looks like the real thing in UHD
Just the one word “ PERFECTION “
That looks amazing! I couldn't help myself but to form a little back story behind this ancient ruin. So allow me to share:
Hundreds of years ago a benevolent order of Hydromancers decided to help the people of an impoverished kingdom by giving them what they needed most: Water!
In order to do so, the Wizards erected several towers out of the ground with a magic crystal on top of each tower. Said crystal created enough water to support an entire city and the surrounding country side through a system of aqueducts. Since then the kingdom was long lost, and it's cities and aqueducts raised to the ground, buried by time. Yet the towers, created out of magic and thus being impervious to both natural decay and mans weapons of war, still stand, now acting as springs for many a lake and river that turned the once barren lands into fertile meadows and a home to all manner of wildlife...
Of course it's just amazing as usual. Well done! Just stunning!
This would have been even more amazing with a dragon scaling the tower :-)
Omg I saw my real name in a Nerdforge video, I saw my name in a Nerdforge video **cries in finally being able to join the patreon**
I discovered nerdforge a while ago and now you're my favorite youtubers! Watching your videos gives me so much inspiration!!
From concept to execution, rough blocks of foam to pure artistry, your creativity always astonishes me. A beautiful piece of work, Martina. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much 😀
When is the collaboration painting coming outttt im dying to see what you do
Aboslutely stunning (as always!)
Wow, this looks really stunning! I would love to see the Crystal glowing in the dark without any other light in the room.
Very cool design and construction. Just one thing. If the pump is too loud it may be sign that is not propperly underwater, which would mean the pump may burn because not taking enough water to the upper side (it happened to us before and we had to change it, it just.... broke...). The main solution would be just to fill the fountain with water until the sound dumpens (you may need to add some resin to it in order to get the parts waterproof). Finally, take care of the water, because it usually starts to create kind of slime into it after some days, which can make also the pump to get stuck. Love your work, for real, is amazing!! Can't wait to see the next! Stay safe ^^
would love to see a WheelofTime - series collab for the first proper trailer. Martinas art x WheelofTime Univerese ❤ ❤
That would be sick :o I don't think we're on their radar I'm afraid
What, no 25 bazillion hand-cut XPS foam bricks???? 😅😅😂😂
Excellent work, as always.
I love that you get to do this as a job and you're just always so stoked about it
So much talent! I first started watching because of the book binding, and found more and more things that catch my interest.
Love your imagination.
My words are not enough to express how much I love your most wonderful videos. Everything you make is special and wonderful 💪🏻💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I wonder what it would look like if there was glowing algae in the water. Love the build!
The artistry and intelligence this project takes is astounding.
wait there's a new King's Bounty game coming out?! Last one that I remember was like 7 years ago D:
Could you maybe make a „gaming“ pc diorama I think it would look fantastic
The clock is such a cool idea to see how much work is behind each project! You should make some kind of fancy installation holder to hold it!
I really like how you not only build awesome things, but also take care for your health while doing. A very good example on how to work.
OMG I just realised that you only have one little finger. where did you lose the other one??
I'm sure if she wanted to share she would have done so by now.
She's ex yakuza
Really sad 😞 that you are not on Twitch. Would watch you for hours....
Very impressive use of mixed material/media to get an astonishing result! 🤗
This is so cool I love the detail you put into painting
Love how this turned out I can see it as like made to be the top of a fish tank above the tank
Absolutely love the way the spiral tower turned out!!
If you put something like a comb at the top of your waterfall It should disperse the water to look more like a normal waterfall.
I wanted to show my daughter what an infinity mirror was and I thought a really cool opportunity with this would be to use that as the basis for a waterfall fountain: due to some real life issues I completed the proof of concept but never actually assembled the project. I'm hoping with inspiration and wisdom gained from watching a bunch of your content that I can do better now than I would have done before! I'll tag you guys on FB when it actually comes to fruition: watching what you guys do has been incredible!!
