What Black Magic is this, video was posted 1 hour ago but your comment was posted 5 days ago! HERESY!
(also wanted to let you know that there is some interesting Nurgle possibilities in Wild West Exodus: Hex Beast Pack. In case you needed some inspiration ♥)
Is the music in the intro from Mortuary Drape? They used a similar sample in one of their albums.
Loved the Neverending Story plug!!
Got the sinking horse reference. The Never Ending Story. At least that is what I am guessing. Love watching the terrain building vids. You always do great work (even on the bad ones). You have gotten me into wanting to build my own terrain for D&D.
funny had a loot studio preroll also :D
ARTAAAAAAAX!!! 😢
I LOVE BOTH YOU GUYS
that hit right in the gut
Artax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beat me to it. Lol
Crying :‘(
Anyone else really impressed by the Loot Studio's Living Armour?
I am! It’s super cool, I plan on using it at some point for a pice of Torment terrain.
Exactly what I was thinking! Never seen anything like it, super cool.
Yeah, I printed that this week. Brilliant sculpt that hides the way it's supported really well. The effect is very much of floating armor bits.
I don't even have a resin printer and I want him.
... I haven't even been to a game for four years and I want him.
I was also impressed with their Shambling Mound
"Sinking horse"
I see what you did there and MY childhood is still not over that...
Dinosaurs is excellent
@nonya buisness sounds healthy
@nonya buisness checks out
@@Monkeyshaman its sad how true that is, that part of the movie got me scared as frick
Still too soon.......neverending
those are awesome broski. 2spoky4me tho.
S P O O O P Y 🐈⬛
Get spooped
Very nice setting. Loved that intro 😱😘
Sinking horse? You, sir, are evil! Lol. That's one of the most traumatic scenes of our childhoods. Do IT!
Speak for yourself. I have no memory of ever watching the original Neverending Story film, so I have no emotional attachment to that scene.
It's probably why I'm unambiguously eager to see him do it.
It’s called “working through the trauma”.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial yes... if you were ballsy enough to make an Artax piece for your boards... the internet would both love and hate you... but by god would the publicity be glorious.
The trauma of that movie is the fact that my little brother played it NON-STOP literally till the tape wouldn't play anymore. As soon as the tape ended it would be rewound and restarted. It went beyond me just being able to recite the whole thing line for line in time with the characters. The only time I got a break from it was when my dad wanted to watch something or it was late and my little brother was asleep. Then it was PBS for Dr. Who followed by the local independent station midnight airing of Elvira's Movie Macabre.
@@Bluecho4 you really should read the book. It's amazing!
5:54 is that Baba Yaga Houses??? Amazing
You started talking perfectly in time with the music and I was psyched because I thought this was going to be a musical episode.
Lol, I didn’t notice. Hey I recognize your icon because I just stumbled on your channel yesterday and was trying to figure out what part of Canada you’re in/from. Great builds btw.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Thanks! I've been stealing so many of your ideas and passing them off as my own, so thanks for putting out so much stellar content! I spent the majority of my time in Ottawa, but I'm living in Scotland at the moment, hence all the weird pronunciations and british slang (these people have the best idioms).
"...I feel an insatiable urge, from my childhood, to make one with a sinking horse."
Do it. It's your terrain. No one is going to stop you.
ARTAAAAAAAAXXXXXX! NOooooooooo
Damn! This “painterly” and free-flowing style really suits you- looks incredible. Plus it seems like you are really energized and enjoying your art lately. This, the torment terrain, and nurgle stuff are amongst my favourite things you’ve ever made.
Too soon man too soon, Artax never forgotten. also that looks awesome and easy to follow, thanks :)
Some wounds never heal
So help me god if he makes one with a horse...
We will all be cry yelling "Artax!!"
Next week: "I did one with a horse! I had to!"
I hope you do another vid when you "big up a builder set" :D Great content as always!
I'm digging this style of build. These look terrific. Talk about rough terrain!
I feel the same way about the swamps of Velen in the Witcher 3. What a classic setting. The soundtrack really elevates it too.
Great build and theme! Really liking the work you're putting into these terrain pieces, as they always are the make or break pieces on any table or battle board!
*green lung's Woodland Rites album begins playing in the background*
Great build!
The minis from loot studio's are so fantastic tbh
Been subscribed to Loot for over half a year now. I own all the packs except the very first, and holy hell, the quality of these sculpts is just completely out of this world.
If I cancel any and every other sub, if I cancel my Netflix and whatever else, I'll keep these guys.
Amazing job! We loved the video and how you used our minis! :D
This is so cool guys!!! What a great decision to build bridges with the minipainting community! What's next??? Miniac? Squidmar? Goobertown? Midwinter? Keep it goooing :D
Parabéns, galera!! Todo sucesso é pouco!!
Watching this inspired me to do a set of my own, and they wound up taking inspiration from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, with haunted skeletons and piles of gold under the water. Thank you for pushing me to do better!
Awesome witcher vibes on these pieces
Totally agree on basing terrain! It gives more opportunity to blend the terrain into its surroundings and provides a lot of stability for things like trees or heavily ruined structures.
Artax.....
"The Neverending Story" was one of my favorite childhood movies.
I'm really digging your scatter terrain videos like this and the Torment series. They make me want to get involved with tabletop gaming. Thanks for sharing!
Watching the transformation of that terrain real time with just the airbrush was crazy to watch.
I'm amazed how well it looks after just some airbrushing!
It’s a magical tool
Glad you've rediscovered your muse. I subscribed to LOOT about five months ago and love their monthly collections, well worth the fairly low cost imo.
Continue to love how you make it so nonchelant and easy. Non of my stuff looks even remotely as good as yours. You are awesome dude. You set the bar for "quick and easy terrain" to look like it took all week to do. Love your work and inspiration to us!!
I bet your stuff looks great!
Still have Loot from the first sponsored video. 100% will be doing this. 10/10
Ultimately Artax got his happy ending. The actor who played Atreyu adopted him, and took him home after filming wrapped. That's the story I heard anyway.
I'd definitely lose a boot in that mud, looks sick!
Well done buddy.
This looks great dude. I was most impressed by that 5 minute epoxy. I've struggled in the past with resin pours, and this looks like something I can manage!
A couple years ago when I first started painting minis and was taking my first steps into crafting terrain I picked up a couple bottles of alcohol-based inks. You probably have used them, but in case you have not and for those who haven't, they are great for a lot of things like dying resin or create gem effect when applied over metallic paints.
Superb swamps! You can almost smell the decaying vegetation and methane gas. I've been reading a lot of reprints of the 1950's 'EC' Horror comics, recently - titles like 'Tales From The Crypt', 'The Vault Of Horror', 'The Haunt Of Fear', etc. A lot of hellish swamps feature in stories in them. Yours are spot-on. Nice one.
The swamp is the most Florida thing I've ever seen you craft. Love it.
The mix of your own creations and the granny theme is brilliant. Takes the 3D printed creature and gives it a base for some great story telling. Such simple techniques with no restraints well done!
You are the reason why i am happy and you are the reason why i got into Arts and passed....You helped me a lot and i wanted to say thanks
for the videos and i hope you never give up, and enjoy and good luck to your channel and you :33
Duuuuuuuude this is amazing. This aesthetic is so on point. I can hear the hags whispering in welsh accents when I look at this 😍. I would absolutely love to see more of this
Wonderful man. They look so good. The smegging broken wagon wheel is perfect.
At first I thought that was Old Gregg.
I'm oooooolllllld greeeeeg
Glad someone else thought that
Do ya like Bailey's?
Thanks. That episode scarred me...
5:10 for a second I tought you were goin to put an adventurer _into_ the barrel.
Because that'd be uber creepy.
Was it a fast coffin?
Was it a way to dump a body?
Was it lunch?
I'll go with lunch, giants probably use barrels to store food too
Wicked simply wicked.. I love the hag as a boss level villains, and having used hag covens in the past this will make an awesome example to follow to for my table thanks !!
Fantastic Video. Watching your videos has gotten me into 3d printing and creating items
Swamp terrain is a popular topic in the hobby community right now. I am glad you posted this video. You always have great ideas 👽
Learn something new every time. 5 min apoxy for small water sources! Awesome!!
These are awesome. The sinking horse got me right in the nostalgia. That sounds like a good excuse for a diorama with Atrayu trying to save his friend.
Nearly got a tear outta me with that Artax reference!!!!!
I think the Witcher 3 Swamp theme came out great. With in the first 20 seconds of the video The Witcher was the first thing that jumped to mind.
This is the moment one is proud to be Brazilian! Congrats Loot Studios!! Y'all are awesome!!
They are doing so great!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Thank you so much Jeremy for being open to work with them. I'm not sure about how much you know, but Alvaro, the leader and creative mind behind the company is a truly important figure in the digital sculpting scene, he is a teacher and mentor like no other. There are hundreds of people that developed a skill and are now able to work with art and have a more comfortable life because of this guy (and everyone behind the scenes, also).
So not only their product is insanely good and well made, their history is a very honorable and beautiful one. Feels good man!!!!
What I know is that Alvaro has always been a wonderful and supportive person, that really allows the creators he works with pure freedom. Always love working with him.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial such wholesomeness... you're awesome, man. thank you for yet another great video and invaluable knowledge for us hobbyists and artists. have a great one!!
When you started painting, with that music I was half expecting Billy Jean to start playing.
GREAT video! I have been crushing on Loot Studios recently, their sculpts are so cool.
This is the video that revolutionized how I paint terrain. I do have a couple changes that increase the contrast. Firstly, I zenithal with grey and then drybrush white/ivory. Secondly, I mix in water and airbrush medium with my ink and airbrush it on heavy. Then a final highlight by drybrush and possibly an oil wash.
The result is more like a SlapChop terrain technique and has a higher contrast than just zenithal white and inks. Try it out!
No not the horse!!!!! lol! Really love the idea of scatter terrain instead of a bunch of tiles. so much quicker to set up while playing and gives you a variety of options. I have a nice grass battle map so it is fairly easy to just place the scatter terrain and completely change the look. My biggest challenge is I haven't figured out how to make nice looking modular rivers and lakes yet. Great work as always!!
These (and futures) make for a great transition into (gasp) the Hellscape creation...nice work!!
Perfect with my Witch Shelter! Thanks for sharing Jeremy!
Nice work, I love the playability of that ladder over the swamp. Loot Studios definitely has some great miniatures!
Thanks!
Looks great! Definitely need to look at the epoxy for small water projects to make on the back patio when the weather is nice. Thanks!
Thank you Jeremy. I have just started to dabble with airbrushing and was struggling a bit. But after watching this, this style suits my Nurgle army perfectly. With your video guidance I feel ready to dive right in! Praise be to Papa Nurgle!
I love how excited you were getting talking about the painting with the inks! It almost sounds like the color massing technique that 2D artist use with oild paints.
And the bit about the scenery and terrain being less sharp and polished is definitely taking the concept of atmospheric perspective and applying it to a 3D form.
Just all around a great video (like always)!
Artax the sinking horse, ooooo actually you could have Rockbiter sitting in a setting as well. Bloody awesome as always.
Loot Studios are amazing - also love the music in the video :D
You captured it man soon as I saw the intro piece with the terrain I thought Witcher great job.
We are in the artist arc of BMC. I really enjoy it, its less of a tutorial and more of just an approach to creating cool stuff.
I have not read all comments but a tip I do is put food dye in when I mix the plaster up for colour. I don't have an air brush.
Great looking build man! these kind of pieces have definitely got a lot of play time on my table. Definitely can vouch for dried tea for swamp terrain. Works wonders!
Holy crap. This is beautiful. My oh my how you've grown!
I have to say, the Torment videos blew me away, this one takes it even further! I wish I had the space in my house to do terrain!
Well done with all of this!
A magic cauldron with a colorful light effect inside it would really make this set even more epic. Fantastic work!!!
This is perfect. When my state first shut down, I found you videos, and started making terrain pieces. Eventually, we opened back up and I found a group to run a game for... in Eberron's Shadow Marches.
Just finished work and this was the first on my feed! sweet goodness!
A great homage to one of best Witcher 3 areas. Looks digustly beautiful.
I'm not sure how I missed this when it was posted. This is cool as hell!
FECKIN YES A SWAMP!~ Now if only I could find Desert buildings/terrain somewhere! Thanks, mate!
See things like this are where being born and partially raised in the south (Mississippi) would come in handy.. I've first hand seen what swamps and bayous look like and could replicate it. (also I have no problem searching up images for reference) Like you said, the cool part is the bubbles fit right in because methane loves to bubble up from decaying plant and animal life in the swamp water, though it's more brown than green.
Loving the recent vids. Keep up the good work up north. Hopefully it warms up a bit for you soon
We went from -40s last week to 5 this week!
Im glad to see you got your groove back! Awesome video.!
Love what you said about terrain being like a painting in the background.
This was already an evocative build, then you add that music on top! Chills.
I can see how I would have approached painting differently, but that is just a matter of artistic preferences.

Sweet compact sanding station, BTW.
I think this is miles ahead of most swamps I’ve seen on CZcams!!! Great job!
Got a real Hexan/Hexen movie vibe to it! Nice work dude!
Love the last few videos lately holy, just keep up whatever your doing or feeling passionate about because can tell in the videos. Torment and this just fantastic and seem so enthusiastic.
"Big up a builder set" Love it
I've been waiting for this for years! Triple thumbs up!
Now I feel so dumb. The solution on how to easily make this was so simple, yet I always thought of way more complicated methods (which like you put me off so I never did).
I really like loot studios house, it looks incredible. Would you ever consider making it as a video?
Great work! Now I want to make my Necron army swamp-based covered with moss and mud as they're coming out of the ground. :)
A horse, you son of a....
This looks really cool. I love the approach of the terrain as background and I agree, for natural terrain it just feels more natural. Do you use mostly just inks for airbrushing these?
Yea, this was airbrushed only with inks. I just went out and bought a bunch more ink colours because I like them so much more than paints now. No fussing around with thinning paint.
Very nice. Will definitely fit in with your Torment builds!
This is awesome and now I want to do some scatter terrain myself
Great seeing you enjoy yourself again!
Love this kind of eerie and gloomy terrain, especially in scatter form - just like in your Torment setting. I'm working on some forest terrain pieces now and make extensive use of dried tea (and some other herbs, actually!) for ground thanks to your old episode where you mentioned it first. Now this video today reminded me that I really should try sculptamold for some vertical variety. Once again, thank you for inspiration to try all these new things in this hobby 👍
that must be a sleep spell during the intro because i have so much trouble staying awake through it. watching terrain building is pretty relaxing though
I literally signed up for Loot-Studios 2 hours ago... Jeez this is creepy, Jeremy 😂
Welcome to the Loot Family. You will love it. I can't paint it all fast enough to keep up.
Welcome! ;)
@@dopeyiceman hell, I still have 5 mini's to go to give my players their own sculpts from Heroforge, plus a buttload of warhammer, with more on the way and a box full of Nolzurs models. I might be addicted 😂
@@LootStudios thanks for the welcome! Can't wait to get my 3D printer up and running!
@@michaelritzen8138 Yeah. I just finished 6 minis for a one shot we did. Didnt get to finish my own mini cause I ran out of time. One day....... Loot is awesome. You will love them. Makes the 1st of the month something to look forward to.
Great video! Thanks for the dollar store epoxy tip! It seemed to work great for this build. I never considered doing a zenithal base like this on terrain, before this video, it is definitely something I will keep in mind! Thanks for sharing!
How dare you invoke the swamp of sadness right at the end. So many flashbacks!
1 step away from modelling Nurgles garden! :) looks great!
Man, oh, man, that paint job is wonderful. Get deep in to that swap!
This looks absolutely amazing!!!!
Could you maybe some day do a video talking about the terrain pieces you get the most milage out of? Like many I'm currently playing DnD online exclusively but I'm looking forward to having people at my place again and using all the fancy terrain I created in the last year. So I do have a lot but still don't know what exactly I'll use often or what I could need more of.
I have a video discussing the top 5 most important terrain to build first!
And next week I have a “my 10 favourite builds” video, though that’s more about personal satisfaction than practical use.
Man, I'm not a terrain builder (I wish I could convince myself to make that leap) but I always enjoy your videos! Great topics, editing and to the point. Great job, dude. Keep it up!
I've tried a number of monthly subscriptions for STL files and I have to say Loot is my favorite. They have the biggest value for the money and they're super responsive if you ever have to contact them or make comments.
They are really really good at what they do! Also accessing files through their site is a BIG plus that sets them apart from many others.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial they have the best site for downloading their miniatures. I love how they make it easy to see if they've come out with fixes for their STL files so you know whether to download a new version. And they do a great job of displaying the models in case you only want to download certain ones.
God, those minis are awesome. Hope all those great minis I miss won't vanish til I get a printer in the future.
